TON MILEAGE MADE
SIMPLE MATTER TO
F|GURE BY u. S. CO.
Two Kinds of Loads and
Two Units of Measure
ment-Business Should
Be Checked

Ton-mileage is che Of the things truck
owner ought to know how to compute IN
order to be able to make proper estimates
of truck performance. When he can fig
ure out the ton-mileage of each of his
trucks he is in a position to compare the
operating costs of the various makes oil
trucks in his fleet or to compare the COST
of truck haulage with horse and wagon
delivery.
The method Of computing ton-mlieage
is very simple, states the United States
Tire company. In making the computa-
ton 1t is apparent that two methods oil
hauling must be considered, one case
being where the whole load is carried lne
full distance and the other where parts
of the load are taken off or put on at
various points along the trip.
Just as thera are these two KINGS %
loads, there arc two units of measure
ment. For the lead that is carried the lull
distance there is the measurement known
as the absolute ton-mile, and Tor the loau
that is dropped piecemeal in the truck
journey there is the commercial ton-mile
ABSOLUTE TON MILE
The absolute ton-mile is ton carrieu
one mile. If a truck carries four tons one
mile the ton mileage is four, or II one
ton goes four miles the ton-mileage is
four Fonr tons carried four miles NAV
sixteen ten niles This method OF com
putation is so simple that the truck owi'7r
can readily work out his ton-mlleage or
trucks that leave the whole toad at inc
end Of the trip. -,
But for the trucks that make parIla'
deliveries the commercial ton-mhe ha9
been adopted as the unit of measurement
AS mos4 trucks operate under this plah
this is the unit which will be employer III
most cases. In order to obviate the ne
cessity of weighing the goods taken OIL
at each delivery a simple rule or aver
ages has been devised which gives tiie
TON miles with sufficient exactness LOT
the purposes required.
CAN'T NO TATERS
The first step in arriving at the .oii
miles on such a trip is to compute .ue
average tons This is found by diViolns
the number OF tons hauled by the hui1oe s

tons made five deliveries the aVer ~. =

SUFFERING FROM
PEST OF BEGGARS

Vienna, October 15.-This place is
suffering from a daily increasing pest
of beggars While a few are crippled
soldiers by far the greater part of the
swarms that haunt the thoroughfares
are civilians, mer. women and children
of all ages from tiny bare-footed,
ragged tots to old men and old women.
Women with babies in arms and others
clutching at their skirts, little girls
and little boys of school age and old
persons parade the sidewalks in the
hotel and cafe districts and pass in
steady streams through the restau-
rants and cafes. Some are licensed, but
they are few. The Viennese beggar,
while persistent, is never abusive when
refused.

a corrupt press, afraid to tell the truth
lest advertising be lost. But when
the facts are disclosed it will be found
that few of the retail grocers are max
ing excessive profits. There are in
stances where such profits are taken.
But on the whole, the robbery Is some
where back along the line. However,
the people will not believe this until
1t is proven. The majority of the pub
lie feels that when 1t makes a pur-
chase Of the commodities of life &c
has paid a price to graft in the form
of excessive profits. The retail deal.
ers will have to prove their case be-
fore they al remove this sentiment,
That is what they threaten to do,
No retail grocer is an independent
buyer in an open market. He is a dis.
tributor, essential in the present sys-
tenn of living, which provides that each
days supply Of provisions for the fam
lily shall be purchased on hat day.
His store is nothing but a community
pantry for his trade. Here he receives
food supplies in bulk and makes the
final or family distribution. He Sc
cures his supplies from the jobber or
the wholesaler. He does not fix the
price he pays them That is done By
those of whom he purchases. If the
difference between what these agen-
cies charge the retailer and what he
charges the people is excessive, the
retailer is a profiteer. If they are
only a reasonable business profit for
the work he must do as a distributor,
taking into consideration the expenses
of his business and possible losses, he
is not. If the retailers can establish
the latter proposition, the public will,
be forced to confess hat its robbery
is taking place somewhere behind the
retailer. 1t will then be up to the
suspected to prove their innocence or
take ,!2eir punishment.
One of the arguments of the public
against the retailers is that the prices
of all are uniform, with slight modif-
cations in specials. Because of this
uniformity the retailers are believed
TO be in a common conspiracy to fix
prices. On the surface the public
seems to make out a fair case. But
1t will be found that the prices are
more the result of adding retail profits
10 jobber costs than an agreement TO
maintain uniform prices. Jobbers'
prices are the same to all dealers. Ii
retailers are business men, they have
their overhead expenses, their cost
Of operation and their profits deter
mined as completely as the insurance
companies have the life expectancy
and insurance cost Of their clients.
These expenses, scientifically deter
mined, added TO the cost of commodi-
ties TO retailers, determine the retail
price. The public. however, does no,
take this view of the matter. 1t knows
it Is paying a high price and that it
buys from the retailer. 1t, therefore,
concludes the retailer is the profteer.
He is the n upon whom the protest,
