AT THE PRIMARIES.

Sample ballots will soon be in the
hands of the voters for the presiden-
tlal primaries. These primaries are
to choose delegates to the national
conventions of the Republican and
Democratic parties respectively. Be-
sides voting for your choice of dele
gates you can show your preference
for presidential candidate by putting
an X opposite the name of the man
you prefer for President, or, if his
name does not appear on the ballot
and only Johnson and Wood will
appear on tho Republican ballot
you may write in the name of the
candidate you prefer and then put an
TX" opposite the name thus written
in. In this way the delegates who go
to the convention learn whom the
voters favor for the presidential candi-
date.
Some of the candidates for delegates
in the Republican primary are already
pledged to vote for Wood. Should
they be chosen delegates and yet the
majority vote in the primary Show a
preference for Hoover or johnson
these delegates would be in an I'M
barrassing situation. However. persons
who vote for them do so knowing full
well that they are pledged to vote for
Wood and they will naturally be ex-
TO stand by the pledge.

Commenting on the worth of the
motor truck as demonstrated during
thc railroad strike now ending the
Elizabeth Daily Journal says.
within the past few years thous-
auds of motor trucks have come into
use throughout the United States. The
number has increased from All in
1904 To 227,25O in 1918. They have
added tremendously 10 the t%ranspor-
tation facilities of the country. In the
same way jitncy busses have supple
mcnted passenger service facilities. the
motor trucks have supplemented
freight service facilities"
All of which IS very true, but what
about the roads? Freight and passen-
ger service by rail is done over a pri-
waite right of way, built and maintained
al enormous expense to the corpora
tion that owns the railroad or trolley
line.
For the motor trucks and jltney
buses. however. the expense of build
ing and maintaining the roads used
by them IS borne by the taxpayers.
1t is decidedly unfair competition for
the railroads and trolleys. in the first
place. and unjust to the taxpayers
who. after spending hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in building these
roads and then contribute more
thousands annually for their upkeep,
are charged a good, round sum to have
themselves or their goods transported
over these highways.
Auto trucks and jitney busses have
come to stay. Their number will in
crease yearly. But the wear and tear
on the public highways TO the build
ing and upkeep of which trucks and
buses contribute nothing except a
.trihlng license fee once a year, is
enormous. The taxpayers cannot
afford TO build and maintain these ex-
pensive highways for the benefit of
heavily capitalized corporations to
make money transporting freight and
passengers over them, As well might
the taxpayers be asked to build and
maintain the railroads and trolley
lines and then turn them over to pri-
vate corporations for them to run their
freight and passenger trains over at a
nominal license fee paid annually.
In fact, the way tho motor trucks
are running now the only solution Is
a separate highway built especially for
trucks and heavy vehicles. which
should be taxed sufficiently to pay for
the amortization of the bonds and the
upkeep Of these highways. The bur-
den Of maintaining the highways
under present conditions is becoming
altogether too great for the taxpayers
Ito stand, especially when these high
ways are being capitalized by private
corporations for business purposes in
Icompetition with railroads and trolley
lines that have to build and maintain
their own private right of way.

Of their annual report, President
James F. Oyster has sent the follow

1.-The approach of the time fixed by

with the necessity of having the an
nual reports of all the committees in
my hands as soon as possible.
"As there are twenty standing COM

to go over the reports carefully and
lay their recommendations before the
full board at the annual meeting. It
is important also that any unf1nishe ed
work Of the committees should re-
ceive their immediate attention.
Il therefore urgently request that
you will call your committee together
at once so as to have it's annual re-
port in my hands by October 20.
1T is suggested that all recommen-
dations be placed at the end OF the
report and numbered SO as to expedite
and simplify matters when presented to
