The Tribune is in receipt of copy Of House Bill No. 386 by Ash of Carroll
 The purpose of this law is to abolish The County Board of Equalization by providing for two assistants to be ap- pointed by the county court to meet the tax assessor in each of the townships ot the county and assist him in fixing a time valuation of all lands and person al property in their township.
 The endorsements on the bill show that it passed the House February 27 by vote 50 to 14. We are not inform ed as to whether it passed the Senate and now operative.
 This is one of the measures that MT. Ash stood for in his campaign.
 The Board of equalization has never been popular and has been quite severe ly criticised and condemend by many ad- vanced thinkers over the state.
 The passage of such law but empha- sizes the necessity for constitutional change looking to township organiza- tion. Mr. Ash has attempted to do in- directly what he could not do directly provide for township assessors.
 We congratulate him upon his effort and showing of good will and hope that he may see his ideas embodied in the new constitution and that along with the equalization board may go also the county assessors, and that township assessors will be provided for whose duty it shall be to go in person to the homes of the tax payers where they may see the property and list it at its marketable value.

BUILDING SHIPS.

What does it mean for us to build
10, 100000 tons of freight shipping a
year? According to the sherwood
plan of ship-building. which is now
being used on both cur coasts and in
many British yards. it would require
about 1000. 900 tons of steel. which is
but tenth of our 1916 output of a.
10000 tons. According to the CEN
sus figures of 1904 and 1903, it would
require about a million and quarter
of workers. If we are now using
.. 900, 900 men in connection with the
war, we have about 100000 left to
call upon before we are working at it
as hard as England now is.
1t is, however, too simple to say
that a million and a quarter of men
and 100000 tons of steel will make
ships at the rate of 10000. 900 tons a
year twelve months hence. We must
apply ourselves systematically to the
task of creating new facilities of every
sort. We have not the yards in which
to put together the pieces of these
standardized or fabricated ships. We
have not the mills to roll the plates,
and unless we take the steel from 9TH
er uses, we have not the mines and
miners to produce the ore, the steam
ers on the lakes to carry it, or the fur
naces in which to smelt it.
To get these new raw, materials, we
have to go back. back to industry
after industry. To roll the plate re-
quires the expensive machinery of
rolling mills. Skilled machinists are
so the building of the ships starts a
train of industry that reaches back,
back, stage after stage, to factory
after factory, clear thru our indus
trial fabric.
1t is, says a writer in the Review
of Reviews, the greatest industrial call
that has ever been given to America.
1t is like the industrial call that has
been given to England and France
We can do it, and if we are fair to our
brethren we must do 1t. We must
build ship ways or dig graves. We
have sent men to France, we have
sent men to camps en- route to France
and now we must in common decency
back them up. Otherwise they may
die in vain and the whole allied stu
alton may turn out to be a colossus
with feet of clay. veritable Russia
that may collapse because it cannot
use itself. collapse because of the want
of ships

MOTOR FREIGHT TRAINS.

The national council of defense, it
is reported, has decided to supplant
freight trains with motor trucks for
hauls of less than 200 miles turnout
the United States during the period
of the war.
The council has appointed commit
tees to cooperate with the railroads.
steamship lines and inland waterways
to this end, and other committees to
coordinate the work of motor truck
manufacturers and the various state
road commissions.
The utilization of self-propelled
trucks as freight carriers for compar-
atively short distances is one of the
developments of the war.
1t means, says the Chicago Exami-
ner, that in the elements of speed,
mobility and continuity the motor
truck is destined to be a permanent
competitor of rail transportation for
limited distances.
The corollary of this new idea is
hard roads.
It means a complete revolution in
the policy of road building in the
United States.
1t means that hereafter the devel-
opment of hard roads for military
purposes in war time, and for COM
mercial and pleasure uses in
peace times, will become a national.
state and local policy that will not
stop at any number of millions of dol
lars in cost.
The star of the motor truck is only
peeping above the economic horizon.
The immediate mobilization of mo-
for trucks, for the war period, neces-
sarily will be limited to those locali-
ties where the roads are perfect
enough to make it possible.
| But the essential difference between
the hauling OF large volumes of freight
by rail and similar volumes by motor
trucks is that in the first instance the
rights of way represent private rail-
road investments. while in the latter
the rights of way will be public prop
erty.
This may seem a small matter. but
it means tremendous difference in
/ the cost of transportation.
The railroads are not merely at the
limit of their carrying capacity, but
they cannot increase that capacity
without enormous financial outlays
that must earn dividends for stock
holders.
The use of trucks as freight car
riers on public roads means that the
rights of way are provided by the
people and that the investments nee
essary for carrying equipment are
confined to the vehicles that do the
! hauling.

If things are being bungled now is
