ture of $50 per mile per year for this
purpose.
The public must be patient and give
an opportunity for the patrol main
tenance system to be developed. When
one considers that 500 patrols must be
selected. many of them new to the
work, the entire system new in Wis
consin, the bigness of the task will be
appreciated. Too much must not be
expected Immediately. 1t will take a
goodly part of the season of 1918 to
get the system marked and signed and
to train the patrolmen to give maxi
mum returns
The travelling public is in position
and should cooperate. The automo-
bile owner, it is true, is paying for
this maintenance, but he is the one
who is creating the demand for it.
When the system is running smoothly,
believe he will be fully satisfied and
even will be willing to yield to an in
crease in the automobile license fee to
secure further improvements, as it
means money in his pocket. It is con-
fidently predicted from the experience
of other states that the results OF
patrol maintenance on the State Trunk
Highways will lead to it's being ex-
tended to the county aid highway
system.

PATROL MAINTENANCE

(By VIM. Sherlock. Highway Commissioner
AS stated in the previous article the
State Trunk Highways will be main
tanned by patrol maintenance system
patrolmen being placed in charge of
sections, a certain mileage of road.
This mileage will vary. In some place.
of intensive traffic it will keep the
patrolman busy to care for five miles
and in others patrolman can care for
ten miles. Signs will mark the begin
ming of each patrol section, giving the
name of the patrolman and the number
of the patrol section. Each patrolman
will wear suitable badge, showing
his number.
The patrolmen will devote their
whole time during the maintenance
season to keeping their section of the
road in condition. Each patrolman
will be required to keep his section
well graded and drained, use the dirt
and road plane when needed to keep
terial when required, keep the brush
away from dangerous places, such as
sharp turns, keep the grass and weeds
cut ad iacent to the road and culverts,
add new materiol and repair defects.
He will be equipped by the county with
a light road grader, road plane or drag,
slip-scraper and complete outfit. The
patrolmen will be required to furnish
team and wagon, work ten hours day
Highway Commission and the County
Highway Commissioner. He is expect
ed to give information to the travelling
public and be of assistance to them
where necessary. The patrolman will
give bond in the sum of $500 for the
faithful performance of his duties
The funds for the maintenance of the
State Trunk Highway system are de-
rived from the automobile license fees
and are allotted among the counties on
the basis of the State Trunk Highway
mileage in each county. These funds
remain in the state treasury until the
county demonstrates to the State High
way Commission that it has maintain
ed the roads up to requirements and
are entitled to the funds allotted to
them. This county will have available
from this fund this year the sum of
$11221OO. About 5000, 600 will be avail
able for 1918 throughout the state, or
an average of about SITS per mile, the
amount increasing from year to year
as the automobile license increase. In
addition TO this amount, many counties
have appropriated maintenance funds
for repair or reconstruction of portions
of the system and there will probably
be total available in 1918 of ST., 200,-
900 for repairs and maintenance. In
the past some moneys have been spent
on county maintenance, but 1T is safe
to say that so per cent of the system
has not received an average expendl-

The following letter has been re,
ceived by the chairman of the Red
Cross.
To the Chairman of the Chapter:
The attention of all Chapter Chair
luen is called to matter which has
caused pain to Catholics, and deep re
greet to non-Catholic members of the
Red Cross. A recent issue of the Red
Cross Magazine carried poem by Kip
ling in which reflection was made or
the Pope.
The mistake is fully explained in the
telegram which is part of this bulletin,
and Chapter Chairmen are requested
to post this bulletin in the chapter
rooms, and to explain to all who have
been grieved by the occurrence that
another edition of the Red Cross Maya
zine will contain full explanation
and apology.
This telegram follows:
SIN the February issue of the Red
SIOSo MdS uAlhC IhChO appear GU q pOShl
by Rudyard Kipling in which there is
an unfortunate reference to the head
of the Catholic Church.
"This poem was inserted in the Red
Cross Magazine at the last minute by
the editors, without having been sub
mitted to Washington. It was regard.
ed purely as contribution from Kip
lirg, and the editors did not sense the
reflection on the Catholic Church which
it contained.
SIT is matter of the greatest con-
Germ to the War Council of the Ameri-
can Red Cross that this should have
happened, and they regard 1T as a
serio us error. The American Red Gross
is non-sectarian. Everyone knows the
splendid help and cooperation it has
had from Catholics everywhere both
in contributions and in active service
in it's official ranks.
'In view of this spirit it is to be hop
ed that Catholics everywhere will un-
derstand that the appearance of this
poem was the result of oversight and
error.

Too Many Bosses at Law

The Federal Trade commissions report
against the five big meat-packing concerns of
the country relates particularly to collision in
the buying of live stock, and it relates to sit
uation alleged to exist as of today and not as of
some other time.
These companies have lately been and are
now operating under the supervision of the fed
eral food administration. What they have been
doing has been largely or entirely done under
the. sanction of this administration, which has
invited concert of action and imposed re-
straint upon prices, as in mapy other industries
deemed essential for the prosecution of the war.
1t is the general impression that they have CO.
operated heartily with the government in this
work OF provisioning our people and armies and
those Of our allies, and if it is not fact that
they have acted fairly and effectively the food
administration Is in the best position so to in
form the country
The World holds no brief for the beef trust
as ought to be we'll known. But the beef trust
would seem TO be entitled to know about where
it stands in relation to the antitrust law and

International Status of the Cables.

When Mr. Burleson took over the trans
oceanic cables he proceeded without being fully
advised in the premises Regardless of his mo-
itives, his action has brought this government
face to face with question of such gravity as
will not be easily disposed of.
No civilized government disputes the right
Of another to lay an embargo on all means of
communication as a military precaution for pro-
lection in time of war. But the cables were not
seized as war measure; they were taken over
after an armistice had been signed and the con-
Summation of peace made reasonably certain.
Necessity for unified control of the wires was
urged principally in defense of the act
What Mr.. Burleson chiefly overlooked is the
interest of foreign governments in those same
cables, and this phase is now coming forward.
In the case of the Postal a number of its lines
are admitted to landings in South American
countries on a specific agreement that they will
not pass into ownership or control Of the United
States. 1t may be that our altrustic aspect at
present is such as to disarm or quiet any appre-
hension these other republics may have, yet they
will feel better if they know they are to have
access to the cables on exactly the same terms
as other patrons If Mr.. Burleson were to be
permanently at the head of the great depart
ment he now adorns perhaps this assurance
would be easy, but the vicissitudes OF national.
politics may remove him some day, and this is
what our neighbors have in mind.
Then our Canadian friends set up another
point. Citizens of Canada are stockholders to
a considerable extent in both the Western I'm
ion and the Commercial Cable companies and
they rather incline to look upon the course of
the postmaster general as being high-handed.
They will not object to his Selling the property
of an American citizen, if he cares to, but feel
that it is going little too far to grab theirs
when no war emergency exists. Viewed from
any angle, it looks as if Mr.. Bureson had blum
dered again.

Are the Street Cars Necessary?


Omaha, Dec. ITO the Editor Of
The Bee: In view Of the present
sad state of~affairs existing in the
transportation system of the city and
the resultant inconvenience and dis
comfort to the public, it is interesting
to speculate on what could be done
10 remedy these conditions, and pos
sibly to improve them.
The franchise of the present COM
pany has expired and there is talk
of the city of Omaha buying the
plant and operating it under mu-
nicipal ownership. | understand
that Mr.. Wattles claims that the
company is operating at loss and is
asking that fares be raised-let us
hope that Mr.. Wattles and the other
officers of the company will not need
to have their salaries reduced-as
otherwise the company is facing
bankruptcy.
Does the city wish to buy trans
portation system that will not pay
expenses and at the same time allow
the public to be transported at a
reasonable price? If under mu-
nicipal ownership the system could
be operated at a profit, why cannot
the present company show profit?
Why not let the present company
become bankrupt and sell it's junk
to the highest bidder? The city
could then tear up the tracks and
with it's fine, smoothly-paved streets
could put on a system of omnibus
lines such as are operated in London
and Paris, and such as are run on
Fifth avenue and Riverside Drive
in New York City. The appearance
Of the streets would be much i'm
proved and the comfort and convent
ence Of the public would be much
enhanced. ONE OF THE PUBLIC.
