MOTOR CAR EXPENSES.


The federal Bureau of Public Roads
is undertaking a thorough test of large
number of motor vehicles, to find exactly
what it costs to operate them. Complete
records will be kept of oil, gasoline and
other supplies, cost of repairs and re-
placements, number of days idle, mileage
and loads carried, income derived from
them, etc, so that it can be told exactly
what the expenditure has been and to
what extent the car has paid for itself
These vehicles are mostly trucks, and
the figures obtained will naturally be
of most interest to truck owners The
experiment suggests, however, that it
might be a good thing for private owners
of automobiles to adopt similar methods
to determine the cost of their cars Very
few people have any idea of what their
cars cost them. The majority, if they
do attempt some rough computation, are
not likely to reckon much more than the
cost of the gasoline and oil and the more
obvious repairs. ANY complete record
will include the basic items of deprecia-
ton and interest on investment, in addi-
ton to insurance, garage rent and all the
rest.
Many people protest that they do not
want to know what their automobile
costs them per mile, because it ''spoils
the pleasure of using it, There is
something to be said for that attitude.
Also, there are returns from an automo-
bile in the form of convenience and health
which cannot be put into figures. Still,
it would be an excellent thing for every
car owner to do a little figuring now and
then, and get at least some general idea
of what part of his income is going into
his automobile. If this were done more
generally, there would be fewer people go
ing broke on cars they cannot afford.
There would be more intelligent discrimi-
nation, too, in the choice of cars. and the
automobile business would benefit accord
ingly.

THE wOMEN's PROTEST.

The president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen is quoted as saying
of the strike settlement:
Il shall get down on my knees and
thank God that the catastrophe has been
aYerted.
Il have on my desk thousands of let
tiers from wives and children of railroad
employees asking me to do everything pos
sible to prevent a strike. When / think
of the suffering strike would have
caused these people, when i think of the
disaster it might have brought the coun-
try, / say again that l thank God we took
the action we did"
Those wives did not protest against the
strike because they wanted their hus-
bands wages lowered, or because they
were unwilling to suffer with their hus-
bands in a just and righteous cause. If
there had been no other way out they
would have borne everything loyalty, pa
tiently and courageously. They pro-
tested because they believed there must
be a better solution of their problem
The women of the world who are today
protesting against war and against great
ornaments are not doing so because they
fail in love of country, or. because they
wish to make their countries helpless be
fore an enemy Neither are they COW
ards, afraid to play the heroic part which
women have played in the past. They
do. however, see clearly all the misery,
suffering and horror evoked by war. not
only during actual conflict but for years
following it. They see, too, how dispro-
portionate are the alleged benefits of war
to the actual injuries it works on all
alike They believe that war is not the
only way to settle the disputes and riv-
alries which engender it. They believe
there is another way ont, and they are
demanding that the statesmen of the

fesses to be anxious to acquire, such
homes must be erected in new residen-
tial sections.
The action of local business men in
agreeing not to advertise in programs
is the natural sequence of the deluge of
requests that has come upon them within
the past few months. The agreement is
a sensible one, however, for it leaves them
free to use such regularly established pub

Now that the Connecticut River bridge
is practically finished and the town will
shortly be called upon to pay the balance
of its share of the cost, The Meddler be-
iieves the selectmen should turn their
attention toward settling with the Com
necticut River Power Co, for the loss
of the structure which went out in the
ice jam of March 2S, 1920 No sensible
person believes for a minute that the
town would profit from bringing a suit
against the Power company. In addition
to the cost of such litigation and the I'M
certainty of the outcome there would be
complications in town financing during
the progress of the case. On the other
hand, it is not to be supposed that the
Power company officials prefer a suit to
a settlement. They already have offered
80 per cent of the bridge cost, it is under
stood, and that being the case it may
safely be assumed that somewhere be-
tween that figure and the total cost is a
point of agreement between Power com
pany and town officials What they
should both do is to get together for the
purpose of determining that point And
the sooner they do it the better it will
suit local taxpayers

Not Blank Checks.
s.. Albans NIessenger. }

The statement by Auditor Gates in
Rutland last week that nobody under the
sun knows what the state legislatures
appropriate has a much more terrifying
sound than it deserves. 1t sort of gives
the impression that the legislature leaves
a good many loose ends, but as a matter
of fact the only justification of the state
ment of which The Messenger knows is
that indefinite appropriations are made
in the sense that the income of a certain
department will be used for such and
such a purpose it being impossible at the
time TO know what that income will be,
thereby making it impossible for the
Legislature to set definite sum- The
money from automobile fees to be used
in highway work is an instance at hand.
No one need fear that the legislature
draws blank check on the treasury for
any purpose.

The Meddler
F
"If the coat fits you. put II on"

What The Meddler said last, week on
the perennial topic of new surface for
Main street evidently struck responsive
chords in numerous places. for a number
of people have urged him to keep after
this subject in the hope that something
definite will come Of the agitation. Every
body agrees apparently that there is cry
ing need of a new surface on Main street,
and while there is some difference of opin-
ion as to whether concrete or brick would
be preferable this phase of the matter
could doubtless be settled agreeably to all
by the report of a committee named to
investigate the proposition. As has been
said so frequently, one of the first things
to be determined is the matter of I'M
derground wiring and proper disposition
of pipes, and start on that part of the
undertaking could be made now as well
as later.
One does not have to make much of
tour through the village to be convinced
of the fact that more dwelling houses
are being erected this fall than for a
numbers of years past. With this appar-
ent reawakening of home building arises
the question of the proper attitude to be
taken toward the home builders by town
and village officials and public service
corporations. The Meddler believes it
, should be a distinctly progressive one,
that will offer encouragement to all who
are contemplating building houses either
as homes for themselves or as an invest
ment. If, for example, a man is courag-
eous enough to start house in a new
section he should not be obliged to tease
the village commissioners to lay a sewer.
These officials should have foresight
enough to comprehend the fact that moth
ing will stimulate further construction
so much as an alert and cooperative atti-
/ tude on their part 1t stands TO reason
! that the average person cannot afford to
build in sections where sewer, gas and
