Col. William NJ Aver Of Oakland.
chairman Of the Highway commis-
saon- made the Recommendation that
the law be 30 changed that future
highway bond issues be financed from
the road mill tax fund, that is. that
instead of paying the interest on
these bonds from the receipts cf
automobile licenses, the interest be
paid from the mill tunG. The auto
mobile fund under such a plan
would be Used for the maintenance of
roads only.
Col. Aver briefly discussed the ma
rional highway AID law. Ee said
that while the understanding was
that this work was done on : $3.50
basis. IN reality the government paid
but 20 per cent
Asked by Senator Davis. chairman
Of the conference. l. the commission
had any recommendations as t. the
amount of bonds which shorld be
issued next year, Col. Aver said that
the commission could probably handle
about $4,000, 900 in construction work.
To meet this, he thought that the
State should provide 1000, 900 the bal
ance 20 come from the federal gov
eminent.
Reply 10 a question by Represen-
tative Holley Of Auson. Col. Aver sad
that these figures do not include any
estimate for bridge work. Senator
Deering Of York suggested that the
bond amendment to the constitution
provided for both bridges and high
ways.
Engineer Sargent. recalled, and re-
plying 10 a question by Senator
Dearth Of Penobscot. said that ae
thought the commission could expenc
the coming year about s.. 9D0. 600 pro-
viGed hey could get labor 10 do The
work. This was based on the know
ledge Of what had been done IN the
past In 1914. he SID, they had al
one time construction work 10 the
amount Of $500. .0na. The cost las in
creased since then from 100 to 125 per
cent.
Charles Hichborn Of Augusta.
DeForrest II. Perkins of Portland,
Joseph w Simpson of York and Da-
vid Talbot Of Rockland. the commit
tee representing the Maine AutOmo-
bile Association, presented the fol-
lowing recommendations 10 the COM
mittees:
First-That the Legislature N the
coming session. authorize The lssu-
ance Of bonds. for expenditure up 20
June so. 19s0. 10 the extent of Se.tot.-
neb for State highdays. and sl.0aO,C1
for bridges and ferries all TO be Sc
rlal bonds. with fixed amount pay
able every year.
Second-That for the purpose of
making such payment, there should
be d sinking fund of not less than ,
l-2 per cent. Of the bonds. appliCa-
Bile TO no other purpose and moi, by
any process, diverted 10 any other
use. and that the faith of The Stale
be pledged against the reissue OF
any such bonds as are paid, without
express authority of the Legislature.
Thirti-That, while II makes no
difference out Of which pocket The
State pays the bills. still the commit
tee believes that il is the expectation
and desire Of he voters that the entire
bond issue be cared for out Of the
automobile fees; and tins we RECON-
mend.
Fourth-The law establishing the
mill tax provided, as we understand
il. that the proceeds shall be applied
exclusively ID construction. The COM
mittee therefore. recommends
change IN the law so that such por-
tion as may be needed shall be used

THE PRICE OF COAL

II is easily Understandable tha' 10
grant the demands OF the mine WORK.
ers would raise the price Of coal 10 tho
public. That wage raise OF 60 percent
would in itself bring about such result
seems fairly plain. Thus, whatever tho
merits Of tho existing controversy be-
tween the miners and the operators, we
should have another boost in the cost OF
living. both direct and indirect. Not
only our coal would cost US more but
the cost Of hauling things with coat-
burning locomotives would be greater
and this extra cost Of transportation
would be tackled on TO the prices OF IN
Vulnerable articles to the ultimate con-
sumner. As one group OF labor men has
so,vs the present economic puzzle but a
reduc,ion in the cost Of living. And
how is tho cost Of living to be reduced?
PRINCIPALLY by greater production and
bv reducing the existing financial in
fation.

RoCKEFELLER LATEST
GIFT

Announcement has been made that the
yum. Of $2o.ooo.ooo has been given BY
John D. Rockefeller Sr- to tho General
Education board founded by him IN
1909 for the Improvement Of medical
education IN the United States. Sever
nj things combine to make this the most
notable gift ever made toward tho ad-
vancenent Of medical science IN this
nation and probably IN tho world II Is
not only the largest single gift ever
made for health purposes but the terms
are such as 70 make 1t intensely prae-
tical.
II is provided that tho entire sum is
70 be devoted 10 work at medical
schools and none for educational propa-
ganda. Some may be disposed to ask
why not educational propaganda? Tho
answer is fairly obvious. First. the
public schools OF every community OF
the entire nation teach idcnticaliy the
same things that could BE- taught in any
organized propaganda work. Second
the most essential propaganda Of health
is already being looked after in very
thorough manner by tho association Tor
thc prevention ct tuberculosis and sim
liar organizations. Third. very large
percentage OF propaganda has no result
and is a total loss.
Twenty millions Of dollars devoted to
medical research work should bring dis
coveries Of great value 10 the human
race. Obviously. one discovery OF
curative nature to apply TO such diseases
as cancer. tuberculosis. organic heart
trouble or Brighrs disease would be
Aorth more than many billions Of dol
IAN worth OF propaganda for presenting
h".i:h IDEAS - the public which would
cr rr!oc,cd BY those to whom thcy
wy,,n be Of most value. SnnitationI and
h,,..nc are Of tremendous Importance
