VEHICLE OWNER IS
PLAYING HIS PART
IN HIGHWAY UPkEEP

In view of the large expenditures
which are planned for highway i'm
provement, it is interesting to note
whether or not the motor vehicle
owner is paying a fair amount for the
use of the roads which are availble at
the present time. In this connection,
r. E. Fulton, vice president of the IN
ternational Motor company, manufac-
turers of Mack trucks in a recent in
terview expressed the opinion that the
motor vehicle owner is certainly pay
ing in full for the use of the roads and
gave some INTERESTING figures to prove
his contention.
Motor vehicle owners in 1918" said
Mr.. Fulton, paid $4,000, 600 in auto
mobile license fees to the various
states. Including personal property
taxes levied on cars in some states ex-
else and local charges, it is estimated
that car owners paid no less than
$150.000,000. In addition, motor vehicle
manufacturers paid $50, 900 900 in taxes
to the federal government.
This is a total of about S25 for every
car built. Out of 100000 miles of
$3.50 are equal to the demands of
heavy duty traffic. Motor vehicles,
therefore, pay a total sum amounting
to SIS per mile for every mile of high
way in the United States, improved or
unimproved. For every mile capable
of carrying heavy dnty motor traffic
motor vehicles pay yearly a sum equal
to $4,000 per mile'

CARLOAD
RATES FOR RUBBER
SHIPMENTS DENIED

Applications of rubber tire manufac-
turers for special carload rates, was
denied by the Interstate commerce
commission in its racent decision per-
hitting express companies to increas Sc
the present rates by 1913 per cent. The
commission claimed that no adequate
ground to support the request for an
exception of tires had been disclosed
by the shippers.
Rubber manufacturers asked the
commission to establish carload com
modify rates., to apply only when the
articles are loaded and unloaded by the
shippers, enough lower that the less
than carload or any quantity rates to
compensate for the absence of a pick
up and delivery service in such cases. .
The commission believed that with
the restoration of the normal freight
service, the carload express business
would show a decline.
According to the commission. their
opinion is echo of the generally
voiced criticism that express COM
panies have permitted service TO be-
come broken down by accepting traffic
that should have been handled as
freight.

RAISING THE LUsIrANIA

From the Cincinnati Times Star.
 The undertaking of French salvage company to raise the Lusitania from her tragic grave off the British coast has aroused mixed feelings throughout the allied countries. One section of the people, looking upon the Lusitania as solemn tomb, prefers to have the great ship remain with her dead and her treasure at the bottom of the sea- An Lusitania raised in order that this vic- time of German frightfulness may be redeemed in honor. A third part of the public is moved by the more mercenary view. The Lusitania and her heaps of gold and jewels. they say, should not be lost to the world.
 If the French succeed in raising the ship, they will have performed an un- precedented feat of sub-sea salvage. It is planned to cut the giant craft into Of compressed air. With average weather the work may be done in a years time.
 There is no certainty whatever that the Lusitiania ever again will sah the seas. But if science and human pluck again should bring her to the top and rededicate her to the service of man, no ship ever will have provoked deeper emotions than this one as she revisits her old ports of call She Wlll be a ghost ship materialized into fact.

Need of Dispatch In
 Rehabilitating Railways

II T is fifteen months since Secretary 0 Redfield .vainly endeavored to get Railroad Administrator Walker D. Hines to agree to a schedule of prices for steel and iron products lower chan those that have since been charged. It is reported that MT. Hines was urged by prominent railroad execu-
 tives not to accept that price agree ment.
 It should go. down in history as the Economic Crime of March 21, 1920"
 But there is hope. The Association
 of Railway Executives has finally lsubmitted to the interstate commerce commission schedule for the expend- iture of the five hundred million dol lars set aside for reclamation of old railroad equipment and purchase of new.
 The schedule includes eighty six million dollars for repairing and re- building cars and locomotives and twenty-five million dollars for addi-
 tions and betterments to pomote the movement of cars.
 It is to be devoutly hoped that the commission will not spend weeks la
 boring over this report, but promptly
 have the money placed in hand and the work done. Better to go to it blind on some details than longer hold
 back the welfare of the nation while spinning red tape.

A REp FoR nUpDHA

From Harpers Magazine.
 In his article on Urga, the Mongolian
 city, in Harper's Magazine for July
 Roy Chapman Andrews tells how the
 Hutukhtu, or Living Buddha, selected
 bed for his own use.
 The Hutukhtu seemed to feel that it became his station as ruling monarch to have a foreign house with foreign furniture. Of course, he. never in tended to live in it, but other kings had useless palaces and why shouldn't he? Therefore a Russian atrocity of red brick was erected half mile or so from his other dwellings. The furnish ings became a matter of moment, and my friend, Mr. Lucander, who was tenn porarly i'll the employ of the Mongo- Han government, was intrusted with the task of attending to the intimate
 details. The selection of bed was most important, for even Living Bud not always be blessing adoring subjects or playing jokes on their ministers of state. With considerable difficulty a foreign bed was purchased in Peking and brought across the TOO miles of plans and desert to the red brick palace on the banks of the Tola river.
 MT Lucander superintended It's install lation in the Hutukhtu's boudoir and himself turned chambermaid As this was the first time he had eyer made bed for a Living God, he arranged the spotless sheets and turned down the covers with the greatest care. When all was done to his satisfaction he re- ported to one of the Hutukhtus minis ters that the bed was ready. Two la mas high dignitares of the church, were the inspection committee. They agreed that it looked all right, but the question was. how did it feel? MT. Lu- cander waxed eloquent on the "springi- ness" of the springs, and assured them that no bed could be better; that this was tn ebed par excellence of all the beds in Picking. The lamas held a get tural consultation and then announced , that before the bed could be accepted it must be tested. Therefore. without more ado, each lama in his dirty boots
 and gown laid his unwashed self upon
 the bed, and bounced up and down. The result was satisfactory except to l-u- cander and the sheets.

SHAKESPEARE IN 1591

the Devil in Fleet street, who can remen- Der all those sixteenth century clubs where Shakespeare and his friends knew the use of the grapes surprising juice, ignorant of the virtuous future? At Moor fields and shoreditch, deep foul and unpleasant ditch-at such unsavory places the shrewd, accomplished Warwickshire opportunist played his part Let us look in on the show:
 Between and o'clock the theatre was open. The money had to be taken at the doors from wealthy and poor alike, there being nothing in the way of tickets or ticket offices then. The auditorium was for the most part roofless The low est class of playgoers paid a penny for the privilege of standing in the yard, represented nowadays by the pit. The best seats of all were those in proscenium boxes on each side of the stage. For seats there the charge was often as much as F shillngs. There was nothing in the way of scenery, the character of the scene Icing frequently indicated by a notice stating whether it was castle, an inn or a ship. The performance seldom lasted for more than two hours. Soon after o'clock the theatre would be empty and for another, hour the actors would be occupied in experimenting the tidying up.
 All this is a threadbare story. It is even threadbare to see the divine William and Sir Walter and the brave padant Ben soaking in Bread street at the Mermaid. The characteristic thing, the amusing thing, about MT. Bannard's article is his wonder how Shakespeare spent his Sun day afternoons" An old problem. Sure ly then and always since the first desire of the Sunday Londoner was and is to get out of London. One suspects that the bloated bondholder from Stratford bab- bled of green fields on those Sunday aft moons.
