RIGHTS OF MOTORTRUCKS

THE purpose of the motortruck legisla-
= ton contemplated in Harrisburg is not
to destroy the motortruck business, but to
regulate 1t in the interests of all the people.
q 1t cannot be regulated properly without
protecting the legitimate interests of the
men who operate the trucks. These men
are arranging to inform the General AS.
sembly on the subject, and the legislators
will doubtless welcome all the information
they can get from both sides.
y The present plan in Harrisburg seems to
be. to limit the weight Of a loaded truck TO
twelve tons and TO forbid the use on the
highways Of rucks more than twenty-five
feet long or more than eight feet wide.
These restrictions seem reasonable II we
are to consider the cost of building and
maintaining the roads. II they are unrea-
soaable the truck operators will not find
1t difficult to show in what respect they
should be modified.

attained a quality OF finality. Had they
believed otherwise there would haye been
no blank spaces in the draft. -.
once again the American Constitution
provides analogies. Fashioned Of judicious
compromises though It was, its INSULT
cheney even in fundamentals was, realized
before the session in Philadelphia closed,
and this feeling bore fruit within four
years, when the eleven articles comprising
the "Bill of Rights were added TO II.
Special conditions inspired the subsequent
amendments. Situations similarly critical
are, OF course, in store for a world re-
volving under a Representations cove
nant. The plan as now evolved is a pre-
liminary step toward an ideal. While man
is man the full glory OF the conception will
never be perfectly achieved. But It may
be approached.
AS we balance the values between the
splendid ISOLATION Of the, past unable to
detach us from a world shambles, and the
inevitably faulty proposals for a new
method of International procedure, It is
stimulating to recall Franklin, who de.
clared that he hoped that other members
OF the convention who had objections to
the instrument would with him doubt a
little of their own infallibility," and Ham.
ilton. who said that while mo mans ideas
were more remote from the plan than his
own were known to be, ;" yet. the question
being between anarchy and CONFUSION on
the one side and the chance Of good on the
other" he hoped that every member would
sign. Even then he failed TO envisage the
magnitude of the blow that struck the
Constitution in 1851, but concerning its
beneficial effects he was a sound prophet.
Gloriously they have outweighed the
defects. Is it fair TO ask more of the
covenant now submitted to our judgment?

sTRANCLINC AN INFANT INDUSTRY

THERE has not been much moonshining
I in the North and West. The industry
is an infant, and a very small one at that.
The discovery of moonshine machinery in
this city, which was said to be turning
out fifty gallons Of whisky a day, suggests
that when prohibition really becomes eff
fective men anxious to turn a dishonest
penny will be tempted to set up stills
wherever they think they can be concealed
from the officers of the Law. Then the
industry would rapidly emerge from its
infancy into a sturdy and vigorous youth.
1t would become a nuisance.
II the government proceeds vigorously
against all suspected still operators for the
next few months the business would be so
effectively discouraged that it might really
die a-borning. At best we cannot expect
greedy men to refrain from making whisky
to satisfy the demand Of the inveterate
drinker. But IL we are TO avoid an orgy
of lawlessness 1t must be made both diff
cult and dangerous for them to engage in
this sort Of business.

and August. Whether they are returned
at that rate or not will depend on the date
of the signing of the peace treaties, which
depends on the willingness of the Germans
to continue to pay the piper. They will
have to pay, but they may spend some

NOT so BAD AS PAINTED

DEPORTS from the American camp at
~ Brest that the soldiers were sleeping in
the mud without sufficient clothing or
blankets or proper protection from the
weather have been circulated broadcast.
Witnesses before congressional committees
have expressed their horror at the condi-
ton of affairs.
The official report from General Pershing
does not substantiate the charges. He says
that the general conditions at the camp
have received high praise from all who
have inspected il since its first formative
day" Coming down TO details, he gives
figures which show that the sick rate for
every thousand men is lower at Brest than
at the other camps in France and that the
death rate is also low, in spite of the fact
that many deaths occurred from influenza
contracted on transports on the way over,
and necessarily counted in the fatalities in
the hospitals in the reception camp.
The alarmists may say that If the other
camps are worse than Brest, then they
must be horrible indeed. But the rest of
us will be inclined to agree with the en-
perts who have looked into the matter and
who praise the care given to our men by
those in charge of their health. This does
not mean that there may not have been
isolated instances of neglect. It would be
surprising when we consider the number
Of men handled If there had not been many
such instances. That they have been gen.
eral is incredible. There is no justification
for narrowing up the feelings Of the friends
of the men still in France by trying to
create the impression that they are COM
PEELED to live in unsanitary surroundings.

VICTORY BONDS.

Your share of the Victory Loan has been fig
;ured on the allotment plan.
The Allotment Plan considers every man and
woman in Ada county as participating in this
most popular of all War Loans. The Government
allots certain sums to each State In the Union as
it's quota and each state in turn allots to each
County it's quota, each County allots to each Dis
trct its quota. These allotments are based on
populations and wealth of the various states,
counties and districts in each case.
The allotment is made on fair basis by honest
citizens, using their best judgment with the help
of expenses and data accumulated during pre-
vious Liberty Loan drives. In this way every cit
izen is asked to buy only his share.
1t saves farmer leaving his field at the time
of the year to solicit his neighbor. 1t is not
and untried plan. Many States, Counties and
Districts have used it in previous Liberty Loan
campaigns. Several counties in Idaho have used
this allotment plan with entire success to all of
its citizens
After all it is just the plan that the government
follows in alloting the National Budget.
Let every citizen pin his or her check to the
allotment card received from the Victory Loan
Allotment Committee and go on Volunteer Day,
Monday, April 21st, 1919, to his her Sector
