special appropriations to take care of
this expense.
LAS we understand the law, towns
will be expected to pay to the State
treasury, not to exceed $50 per mile
for each mile of improved State high
way, and not to exceed $50 per mile
for each mile of, improved State aid
highway under patrol maintenance.
On the unimproved mileage patrolled,
the towns shall pay an amount which
shall equal the average amount per
mile raised by the town for the care of
roads and bridges multiplied by the
number of miles of unimproved road
patrolled. This amount per mile shall
not be less than $50 nor more than
$50"
Another letter says, in substance:
There has been no change in the
patrol maintenance law since last
year. In mapping out procedure under
this law for the present year the com
mission has attempted to retain the
services of all patrolmen whose work
was satisfactory last season. We
have at the same time attempted
to replace patrolmen whose work did
not prove satisfactory, with better
men.
1.-THE States apportionment for
patrol maintenance will be about the
same as last year where the mileage
to be patrolled is the same as last
year, but in addition the commission
has voted to apportion to each town
where the maintenance is done by a
patrolman the sum of $50. provided
the town will furnish an equal amount
for the purpose of doing early work;
that is, road machine and smoothing
and any other necessary work, to get
the section in proper shape for patrol
men to take care Of This money on
the part of the State and the town we
should regard as an extra expenditure
and not as a part of the patrol main
tenance fund and in doing work under
this fund we should except only SO
much of it to be expended as is ne
cessary to put the patrolled road in
good shape. We shall expect this
work to be done under the supervision
and direction of our inspectors. who
will call on you shortly, explain all de-
tails and make all arrangements ne
cessary for both this early work and
the seasons work.

TURN TO AND HELP.

II took a man of courage and initiativ,
to take over the entire railroad system
of the United States under the present
emergency. 1t required keen insight ant
broad minded consideration. For the task
is stupendous under ordinary times, and
it is superlatively so now when the rail
roads are taxed seemingly beyond THEN
capacity by the rush incident to the par
ticipation of the great nation in the
world war. A weak man would have
hesitated and perhaps sdestepped the
issue Not so with President Wilson.
He met the matter squarely and cour-
ageously by taking over the rail trans
portation systems under the power given
him by act of Congress last year. He did
it without blsre of trumpets and with.
out the stress of excitement which might
have been expected in connection with
such great event. But it must be borne
in mind that the mere taking over of the
railroads does not solve the problem of
transportation by any means; great
deal lies ahead of those who are organiz-
ing the movement In order to carry out
that work successfully the people, the
railroads and their employees must give
their loyal cooperation to the president
and his director general w G. McAdoo.
The test of patriotism demands such co
operation; the successful elimination of
the war demands it, So there should be
no effort to place obstacles in the path
of the president, who has met the situa
ton in such a courageous manner. Al
ready the heads of various railroads have
orotfered their loyal support and expires
'ions of coo operation have been heard in
,ther quarters, The spirit should be
unanimous. Let us see the president
through with this thing.
