few years ago he felt that the por-
ton of bis taxes used in the construc-
ton of permanent highways repre-
sented a benefit only to the motoring
tourist and the city automobile owner.
The farmer argued that he was pay

was superstition against the good
roads movement, which, unfortunately
has not as yet been entirely overcome
In some sections of the country.
Now. however. when the farmer
finds that his land has trebled In val
ue: when the merchandise for which
he has telephoned in the morning can
be delivered by noon of the same day
when the market for his own produce
is brought hours nearer; when the
winter and its following spring thaw
possess no terrors for him-all this
because of the improved highway

the whole of the United States in 1910.
Furthermore. the revenues derived
from registration in the state of New
York In 1920 were about equal to the
entire registration revenues of the
United States for 1913.
The use made of revenues has
changed with the passing of years. In
1906 the total registrations were APP
proximately $4,000 cars. paying a gross
revenue of about $193,000 (Arizona in
1920 paid approximately this amount.)
In 1906 the gross registration revenues
were equal to less than three-tenths of
/ per cent OF the total rural road and
bridge expenditures for that year.
The registration revenues in 1920
were equal to about 20 per cent of the
total rural road and bridge expendi-
lures for the calendar year 1919. In
1906 practically none of the motor
vehicle revenues was applied to road
maintenance or construction, While in
1920 So per cent or total of $9T ,997,-
160.60. was used for this purpose. The
remaining 4 per cent not applied to
road work was expended very largely
for number plates and in carrying out

Of the total amount applied to road
work 10 per cent, or 1881 ,5S257,
was expended under the control or

Greek Queen
Aids Refugees

were collected for the benefit of the
refugees and Is additional physicians
were sent to SalOniki.
The miserable condition of the refu-
gees had been reported to flle queen
by Colonel Olds, the American Red
Cross commissioner for Europe. who
inspected their camp. Queen Sophie
then sent DR.. Theophanos Aggelopou-
los, an eminent sanitary expert, as her
personal representative to take charge
of the camp. He brought corps of
ten physicians. Until that time only
one physician had administered to the
thousands i'll among the refugees.
There had been no one to look after
sanitation.
Americans Send Aid.
The American Red Cross has sent 10
Saloniki Col. Henry A. Shaw of the
United States army medical corps,
with party of physicians and nurses
to aid the Greek government in the
care of the refugees. Colonel Shaw
plans to gather 1000 of the orphans in
old French barracks, several miles
from the present camp, where the
children will be given med cal atten-
tion, while fooa will be furnished by
the Greek government. The expenses
of this work will be borne by the gov
ernment.
Miss Lillian Spellman, Boston
nurse, is conducting Red Cross dis
pensary at the camp, where she dis
tributes cans of milk and soon will dis
tribute clothing to the small children.
Many of the refugees were lured by
promise of rich lands in Macedonia,
but the majority fled from the eau
casus, before the, advances of the Boil
sheviki and the Turkish nationals un--
der Renal Pasha.
1000 Die In Month.
The 10000 are huddIed together In
barracks which were not intended to
hold half that number. A Red Cross
inspector who visited the camp reports
that disease such as typhus. dysentery
and influenza is prevalent, and that
more than 1000 of the refugees died
within a month.
The Greek governor, General Zazit
sanos, Is in despair, for he expects 49,
600 additional refugees to arrive soon
and says that there are more than So
900 others trying to reach Greece. The
fund appropriated by the Greek gov.
