TO PROTECT THE ROADS
Senator Smith Introduces Bill Max
ing Them Military Highways-U.
5. to Share Repair Cost.

Washington. March S-Senator
John Walter Smith, after considering
the whole problem involved, took de-
cisive action today to protect the
States highway system and to meet
the condition brought about by the
passage of heavy and destructive ar
my trucks over the highly improved
roads. After a conference with SEN
ator France, his colleague. and after
consultation with friends at home
and officials in Washington, Senator
Smith offered a bill in the Senate
which, in effect, declares all State
roads used by the Government to be
military highways, and binds the
Government to assist in maintaining
them in good repair.
Such a measure, if enacted by Con
gresS, will relieve not only Maryland,
but all States similarly affected of
the enormous burden of repairing
their roads which may have been
damaged by the great army trucks
and other military vehicles. OF ne
cessity, the Senator made his bill
general in its scope, that is, he made
it apply to all States alike. No other
measure could pass or would be con-
stitutional if it did pass.
1t must be stated that Senator
Smith has not sought the approval
of his bill in advance by the War
Department, but he feels that it is
so manifestly meritorious that the
Administration will indorse it readi-
ly and will go to the rescue of any
State, such as Maryland, which has
enormously taxed itself to provide a
good roads system, long stretches of
which are now almost impossible by
reason of the movement of army
trucks over them.
The bill provides that because of
the deterioration and, in some cases,
the destruction of highways in many
States, requiring the expenditure of
great sums of money for repair, that
the Secretary of War, upon investi-
cation, and upon petition of a duly
created State Highway Commission,
may declare any road used by the
Army a military highway.
After such a declaration is made
by proclamation, the Government
then may be authorized to provide
money for the upkeep, repair and
maintenance of such roads. This
money may be contributed to the
States affected in installments or in
lump sum as the Secretary of War
may direct

Congratulations To Labor

The hearty congratulations OF the
American Defense Society to the
American Federation of Labor, rep
resenting American Labor, for its
share in the battle for world democ-
racy, has a better sound to American
ears than carping criticisms of GER
tain organizations of employers in
terested in the rapid production of
profitable war materials, fearful of
their dividends The acknowledge
ment by the Defense Society that the
burden of the struggle is borne by
labor, not in one, but in many ways,
is a compliment, not only to labor,
but to every American.
Labor has displayed many faults,
but fewer and less injurious to the
common welfare as an organized
representative of the nations produc-
tive power than the factors not of
labor, but supercritical of the work
er's defense of their privilege.
There could have been no defense
of democracy without American la
Dor. When the labor of other ma
tons broke down, American labor
leaped into the breach and held the
line steady. Without labor the war
for democracy would end in disaster
for free peoples And American La
Dor leads.
Labor has made the war for de-
mocracy possible, labor is sustain
ing the war, and labor will make vic
tory for democracy not simply pos
sibility, but a certainty. Labor de-
serves the congratulations of the
American Defense Society, and apol-
ogies from those who have abused
and condemned it.

Taxpayers Meeting

Elsewhere in these columns VIII
be found a notice OF meeting OF
Cambridge business men and tax
payers to be held next Monday night
for the purpose of taking action
against the assessment which mas
recently been made upon the proper
ty of Cambridge We believe that
the values placed upon much of the
property are, in many instances, so
unreasonably high that the growth
and development of Cambridge Will
be seriously affected. There seem
to have been wholesale increases
without regard to actual values, and
even if the Board of Control ana
Review finally reduces some of the
assessments there will be hundreds
of assessments that will not re re-
duced, largely, perhaps, through fail
ure of such property owners to I'M
derstand about presenting the mat
ter to the Board as the result OF
which the property will be unequal
ly and unfairly assessed.
We have heard of instances where
property has been assessed at con-
siderable more than the cost and
markt price of the property. One
piece of property which was sold last
summer, after being offered to al
most everyone who the owners thou
ght could possibly be interested, has
been assessed at ten per cent. more
than it brought at the time of the
sale last summer, and at twenty-five
more than twenty-five years ago. An
other piece of property, close by, has
been assessed as nearly fifty per cent.
more than it cost to build twenty
five years ago; still another piece,
also near by, has been assessed at
considerably less than it cost to
build. These are but few of the
many cases that are generally known
and unless some action is taken to
correct the mistakes made the own
ers of such property must recuperate
their losses at the expense of their
tenants, by raising rents, or at the
expense of the public by increasing
their profits on the goods they sell.
The worst phase of the situation,
however, is that all kinds of building
will be discouraged; persons with
capital to invest will not put it into
town property, nor can persons with
capital be persuaded to invest their
money in a community where such
high valuations, coupled with high
tax rate, exist. Property owners in
Cambridge are confronted with a to-
tai tax rate of s2.31 SIP on the
500, and with an assessment of ov'
er 100 per cent, the matter is dis
couraging.
