TRUCKS AIDING ROAD PLANS
Long Island Cited as Example Of
Prosperity Maintained by Eff.
cient Highway System.

!By WINDSOR T. WHITE, Chairman
Motor Truck Committee, National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Commerce.)
Motor highway transportation has
grown to such vast Importance in the
past few years and has so well DEM
onstrated its value and efficiency that
T. has won official public recognition IN
many Of our states But this activity
can develop in a sound economic way
only as good. roads; programs are de-
veloped. While there are examples
where motor transportation has sue
ceeded when run In territories that
haye undeveloped roads, they, In CON-
parison with the thousands OF mo-
tortruck routes, are practically negli-
gible.,
kOne of our greatest wastes In the
handling Of the prime necessity, food
occurs in our present transportation
methods, Hundreds of millions Of dol
lars are annually wasted because the
present method of transportation
adapted to our present road system, Is
50 costly that it does not pay to move
this food from the farm to an area OF
consump tion.
II is said that New York state has
1890 miles Of surface highways and
re, 3e8 miles of unimproyed rural roads.
While the state has much higher per-
centage Of improved roads than is COM
mon for the United States, they do not
benefit the farmer as much as could
be desired.
Long Island is one Of the most pros
porous agricultural areas In New York
state. 1t is not exceptionally fertile; In
fact, it may be said that it is fertile
because man has made it so. There are
many areas in the state that are nat
urally more productive than Long Is
land. but which are far less prosper
GUS. II you could take a trip over
the island you would know the reason
why the island farmers are famous
for their product and financial indie
pendence. A well-planned, WELDON
structed, and finely maintained sys-
tenn Of roads Is the greatest asset the
island has. Every evening one can see
hundreds Of motortrucks, from two to
I'VE ton capacity, rolling over these
roads, bound for the New York mar
Ret. Here is no 80 nor 40, nor even
10 per cent waste. While In other ru-

SAMPLES OF ROAD MATERIAL
Tests Made by Laboratory Of Bureau
of Public Roads Show Increase
Over Preceding Year.

A special laboratory devoted to the
microscopic examination and classifl-
cation of road-building rocks, main
tanned by the bureau Of public roads,
United States department Of agricul-
ture. has examined 6S6 samples Of ma
terial during the past year, according
to the chief Of the bureau. This rep
resents a considerable increase over
the preceding year and shows the pro-

conference is going on. about which
the public hears little. but from which
those who have learned of it's domi-

Peace Treaty a Factor.

Peace Treaty Factor.
Ratification of the peace treaty
will help straighten out matters
across the seas That is conceded on
at the capital is how much it will
help.
It is widely recognized that ratifi-
cation of the treaty. and consequent
removal of many of the uncertainties
that complicate the present situation,
is bound to bring great relief. 1t
will set Europe to work. Each nation
will know it's obligations and it's re-
sources. OF the two elements of risk
involved in all foreign investments
the political risk and the commercial
risk. ratification will tend to remove
the former. at least. and, incidentally,
the consequent release of credits is
confidently counted upon to relieve
the present menacing exchange situa-
tion.
Public Expenditures.
With no general tariff revision to
worry about. Congress seems to have
formed the excellent resolution of spend
ing the time thus saved in scrutnizing
1ts own financial methods and appro-
priations. Legislation for the establish
ment of a budget system has plainly a
thrust behind it this year that it never
had before. The Good bill, setting up a
budget bureau in the Office of the Presi-
dent. has already passed the House.
The Senate is more inclined to place
this responsibility on the Secretary of
the Treasury. Whatever method is ulti-
mately adopted, far-reach;ng reform
of the present Slipshod appropriat ting
system appears to be assured. with
promise of a very wholesome centraliz-
ing of responsibility and scrutiniZing of
expenditure.
While a special congressional commit
tee is hammering the budget proposal
into final shape. the leaders are COM
mendably turning their attention to cut
ting down this years appropriations.
Presidential Campaign Influence.
A presidential campaign often has
SO marked and adverse an effect on the
trend of business that it is striking
10 note the number of representative
men in Washington who are inclined
10 doubt it's having any such influence
this year. Were law and order to be
the issue in 1920. or radical legisla-
lion the prospect, the feeling might
he very different; but such incidents
AS the reelection of Gov. Coolidge in
Massachusetts. and the smothering OF
The Plumb plan in Congress. have
pretty well dispelled any doubt on
either score. Moreover, many hold
that the economic currents are sc
swollen and torrential that the po-
litical intake will scarcely muddy
them
. Responsible officials who have beer
able to rid themselves of partisan
bias are saying that the election of q
reactionary on the republican ticket
or of a radical on the democratic
ticket would be equally fraught witt
danger TO the country in the long
run.
Think Worst Is Over.
1t may prove Yuletide illusion
but there is a widespread belief a. TIL,
capital that the worst of our indus
trial troubles are over. At the sam,
time, Congress and the White Hous,
must still tackle such ecoHbmic prob
lems as the shift in the distribution

RESIDENT
OF EAST JORDAN
PASSES AWAY.

Charles Stohlman passed away at his
home on the West Side last Saturday
morning, Feb'y 2Sth, 1920, following a
few days illness from pneumonia.
Charles Henry Stohlman was born in
East Jordan Sept. 18th, 1885, and has
made this city his home continuously.
On Nov. 25th, 1908, he was united in
marriage TO Miss Essie Deshane. To
them four children were born, three
of whom, with the wife and mother
survive. The three children are Percy,
Howard and Chester.
He entered the employ of the East
Jordan Chemical Co., some ten years

TREASURY DEPARTMENT II
PUDENCE.

Income tax returns this year con-
tain the advice: PAY your tax in full
when you file your return, thereby re-
digging the cost of collection and
avoiding possible annoyance to you"
The Treasury Department has no
authority whatever in putting such
language before taxpayer. In form
it is an imperative order to pay the
tax when the return is filed, and car
ries an implied threat that unless that
is done the taxpayer will be subject
ed to annoyance" The present in
come tax law as passed by Congress
gives individual taxpayers the unre-
stricted option of paying the tax
when the return is filed or in quarter
ly installments thereafter. 1t is not
the business of the Secretary of the
Treasury TO attempt to deprive tax
payers of that privilege. 1t is but an
other effort on the part of the execu-
tive department to amend or extend
without warrant of law legislation en-
acted by Congress, and the Secretary
should be called sharply to account
for his impudence.
