A VandaI Use of Highways

Highway legislation of course is desirable. but equally desirable and even more Is Legislation the protection of such permanent highways as we have, if they are to remain permanent.
 An Illustration of the need of this protection is afforded in an incident of Tuesday stretch of the concrete highway South Central avenue had just been thrown open. The covering of earth had hard ly been removed before man came along with a tractor with cleated wheels Every cleat broke an impression into the the depth of an eighth of an inch, each impression being fine place for the process of 'ravelng" to begin It is estimated that under such treatment that highway would not last more than two years.
 Immediately following this severe test another man driving tractor along. But he had re- moved the cleats that greater wear followed than would have been caused by automobile. The cleats on all tractor wheels are removable
 In many we suppose most states, there are laws against such wilful abuse of costly highways In one state at least there Is fine of $500 for even driving cleated wheels a surfaced highway
 From the beginning the law was so rigidly en- forced that now it enforces itself

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

With the pruning knife lowering over aDpropria- tions for the woman's in the government la department congress is reminded that of last years appropriations congress allotted 6-thousandths of one per of the total to the interests of women and children.
 Speaking of percentages and appropriations by congress, it Is interesting to that 92 per the total running the government goes for war purposes, past, present and contemplated.
 Nnety-two cents out of every dollar.
 That leaves eight cents for education, agrcul- ture and the general good of the country. And yet there arc people who opposed to cutting down the naval and military appropriations.
 Even big business is getting to be pacifstic
 No longer is it the American union against mili- tarsm which is bowling reduce the great war ap- proprations. big banks and manufacturers are beginning to crowd congress with the suggestion that if business or prosperity is to have any chance at all, if taxes to be reduced respectable proportions there will have be very radical change in this war job business.
