Transportation By
 Motor Increasing

In his recent annual report the Secretary of Agriculture spoke very forcibly on the need of good roads for the development of highway transpo portation
 1t required a great national ca tastrophe to awaken the American Public to the inadequacy of our trans portation- facilities and to the fact that we must depend largely upon upon our highways, in conjunction expansion in transportation is essen tiaI," said the Secretary. Our ex- periences during the last three years have clearfly demonstrated that the failure earlier to inaugurate sound road improvement program has re- taded the effective development of one

 .The use of the motor vehicle for highway transportation has increased tremendously within a short period. In 1906 only 4S,00O motor vehicles were registered in the United States By 1914 the number had risen to l. 100000, while the registrations now total nearly S,0000OO exclusive of motorcycles. The actual vehicle mile use of our roads, it is estimat- ed, has increased more than 500 per cent. in strictly agricultural commu- mites and more than 1000 per cent. near the larger centres of population. These figures indicate the extent to which community and short-hauI transportation will be served by bet ter highways"

In addition. the 500 teams would require nearly twice as long to carry to markets and to railroad stations the cargoes now handled by the motor trucks.
 There would have to be at least 500 drivers for the teams. against the 200 motor truck drivers, many of whom, especially those employed by the market men, not only drive the trucks, but loadN and unload them and work part of each day as clerks

Judging from the hundreds of re- quests sent to Secretary of State Ly- ons' office Many persons have had the same low numbers year after year.

President Harding's Cabinet

There is to believe that Mr.. Hardns's
cabinet selections will not be approved unanimously by
the American people.
Some of those who voted for James M Cox last
November have already declared that certain prospective
nembers of the Harding cabinet do not meet with their
unqualified approval and that they will probably be
obliged to withhold their support of the Harding admin
stration for that reason. In smaller numbers-for
obvious reasonsthe supporters of Mr. Dcbs feel that
the cabinet is not truly representative of the pco-
pie and that Mr.. Harding is making grave mistake in
listening too much to the reactionary voices.
The great majority of Americans, however, will be
inclined to agree that the incoming president has done
very we'll with hard job This is not saying that all
the persons named statesmen of equal rank, but
speaking generally the cabinet will make favor
able impression TO start WITH and it will enter upon its
work with the hearty good wishes of every who de-
sres the success of the Harding administration
As for those who already convinced that the
next administration forcdoomed failure what they
think and what they say about the matter is not worth
consideration anyhow.

Now it is proposed to establish by the states inter

To Its Dying Day

The orgy of waste, extravaganza and favoritism
which has been going on in the national government
since the horde of Democratic officehoders descended
upon the capitol with their slogan of 'We SPEND what
matters it who pays?' will apparently continue until
the latest hour and minute that executive official
can find for scattering the public money.
The revelation of loss and partially in the disposal
of materials to be never-cndng and recently
there brought light in the senate what appears
to be exceptionally outrageous misuse of public
powcr-if it is not something very much worse. In a
resolution passed by the senate, Secretary Houston is
called upon to answer the charge, made by Senator
Frcnghuysen of New Jersey and supported by Senator
Smoot of Utah. that without the slightest authority of
law the secretary of the treasury ordered rebate of
taxes to dtilers brewers and liquor dealers amounting
TO four billion dollars.

Hthat the exemptions which will be granted and which
tho Treasury will eventually be called upon to pay
amount to four billions of dollars. That the nforna-
ton which TO under a ruling which has been
made by the Internal Revenue section Of the Treasury
Department
- Exemptions of taxes arc being granted by the
Internal Revenue Bureau to brewers, distilers and
liquor dealers which in some cases amount 10 five
times the allowed other corporations and midi
vduals for good will. In other words Congress will
have to face appropriation for exemptions amounting
10 Sa,ooooooou0 TO be returned to dsticrs, liquor
dealers and saloon keepers of the country
II think it is the duty of the Finance Committee
of the Senate 10 call the chief the Bureau of Internal
Revenue before it and ascertain whether under the -

these amounts TO the liquor dealers and the reason which

payer is compelled sue for return but in this case
