whether all concrete roads and pave
ments crack and to try to discover
the preventive of the cracking.
They find that where they laid con-
crete reinforced with heavy wire
netting, it lasts much longer and
cracks less. Where they use the
heavy wire, it lasts better than where
light wire is used and where they
use two layers of the wire netting,
it is better than one layer. The steel
wire holds it together and keeps 1t
from cracking under expansion and
shrinkage. 1t is very easy for 1t TO
pull apart when shrinking in cold
weather unless it is reinforced.
Some concrete road that was laid
in 1915 was carefully surveyed after
twelve months and they found that
a mile of it contained about 700 feet
Of cracks. A year later it contained
1900 feet of cracks; the third year
it had about 5000 feet and the fourth
year it had upwards Of 5000 feet of
cracks. Afs'
- The engineers say that when
cracks run crossways of the paving
and it is not reinforced, there is
usually settling so that one section
is higher or lower than the other,
the difference may be only slight. an
eighth of an inch being sufficient to
start a pounding as the wheel goes
off the higher piece onto the lower,
especially loaded trucks; it has a
pounding effect and soon starts it
to breaking up. Where the concrete
Is we'll reinforced this is not 50 likely
to happen, where the cracks run
lengthwise, that is, in the direction
of the travel, as the cracks open up,
the wheels keep wearing of the
edges until it becomes a rut and has
to be mended. All investigations
seem to confirm the theory that 1t
pays to reinforce the concrete with
steel. Where there is considerable
freezing and thawing it is necessary
to keep the road beds well drained.
Statisticians inform US that the
United States has already laid
enough concrete roads and pavement
to make an eighteen foot road
around the world.

SOME NEWS ON THE
PAYMENTS

While people in Bingham country
are studying road building and street
paving, it is worth while for them to
observe that the bitulithic paving al
ready laid in Blackfoot, altho under
a five year guarantee, is not guaran-
teed against the pounding of chains
used on heavy trucks that sometimes
whiz thru out streets Neither is it
guaranteed against abuse from fast
driving in violation of the city or
dinances. The guarantee calls for
the repair of the paving at any time
within five years II the city or
dinances have been observed in the
use of the pavement. Some times a
heavy truck goes thru the streets
under heavy load with large chains
wrapped around at intervals and the
vibrations from such pounding might
not be Judged to be a reasonable use
of the pavement. In the interest of
protection to the public property 1t
would be we'll for all of us to remem-
Der to observe the ordinances laid
down for the use Of the paving. rl1
The City OF Portland has been
pioneering in the work OF building
Placements for some fifteen years and
has laid about every kind OF pave
ment under the sun. Finding that
every kind OF pavement was going to
need repairs, the city established
municipal paving plant SO they could
keep up the repairs and continue lay
ing new pavement as needed. This
was established in the year 1918 and
has been In operation most of the
time, either repairing or laying new
pavement. Tt is said that the City
of Portland has laid enough pave
ment in the last fifteen years to make
a read eighteen feet wide from Port
land to American Falls, Idaho. Some
of it has been rebuilt one or more
times and some of it is twelve or
fifteen years old, but needing some
repairs. n tsaTa
Portland has laid more bitulithic
paving than any other kind and
sheet-asphalt comes second with
stone blocks third, Hassam fourth,
concrete fifth, asphaltic concrete
sixth, wood block seventh, west
rumite eighth and brick ninth. Sheet
asphalt has received more repairs
than any Of the other kinds and has
received more repairs in proportion
to the amount used in the city than
any other kind. The solid brick
paving is the only kind on which
they have expended no money for re-
pairs. h" ~ '3 ''fa3

lie thinks more of the Christmas

Regarding Truant Officer
Professor: Langton very much re-
grets the present state of affairs re-
garding truancy and absentees from
school. The present system is
wrong; he thinks 1t is q waste of the
public money to have the truancy
officer drive out any distance, es-
pecially the long distances, to talk
with the parents and pupils. He
thinks the old system was better Of
putting this management in respon-
sibility where it belongs right in the
district and in the home between the
parents and the school officers and
teachers. If they want somebody to
act as messenger outside Of the
school and outside Of the family,
someone to run back and forth and
bring the pupils in, let the town mar
shall do that, where there is q town
marshal and It can be done in con
nection with his other duties at a
slight expense to the district and NO
expense to the county. He thinks it
IS folly for the Shelley people to have
somebody driving out from Black
foot to manage their own affairs. If
the pupils who were disposed to play
hockey knew that the town marshal
would be right on their trail as soon
as they are reported absent from
school, there would be very little of
absence. II he knows that there is
nobody short Of a truancy officer at
the county seat to get on theft trail
he knows that it Is going to be some
time in the future before anything
happens to them and it makes tru-
ancy easier. i2 i7g r93ar' X
The writer remembers that when
the probation officer was provided
for by statute in this state, one of
the arguments made in favor Of it
was that 1t was too harsh to send the
sheriff or marshal out to round UP
pupils who we're. playing hockey or
staying away from school from any
cause; that the disgrace of being ar
rested by the sheriff was too great d
shock and it was liable to harden the
pupils rather than correct them. It
was considered great deal more
humane to have probation officer
and especially woman probation
officer 60 out and labor with them
than to have the sheriff go out and
do it. That is gracious sentiment
that we have been paying for quite
dearly. We can show you by the
records of the probation officers

WILSON VET0ES TARIFF MEASURE,
 GIVES REASONS
Farmers Distress Cannot Be Relieved by Protec-
 ton, President Says.

WASHINGTON, March 4-Presi- dent Wilson late yesterday vetoed tke Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill as passed by Congress. The veto message was not read in the House until sometime after it had been re- ceived from the White House and with the Sixty-sixth Congress passed out of existence today al noon, many leaders last night expressed doubt whether any attempt would be made to override the veto.
 The new Congress, soon 10 con vene. in special session, is over whelmingly Republican. and the new administration has indicated its in tention of bringing up tariff legis- lation at the earliest opportunity.
 President Wilson declared "the distressed condition in which many farmers find themselves cannot be remedied by a measure of this sort and there is no short way out of ex- isting conditions"
 The message said actual relief for the farmers, the main purpose of the bill, according to it's advocates, can come only from constructive measures of broader scope, from re- storation of world peace, from re- sumption of normal industrial pur- suits, and from recovery of Europe and discovery there of additional credit foundation
 He declared the farmers need better system of domestic market ing credit and opening of foreign markets rather than protection from foreign products as laid down in the FOrdney bill.
 The President. however. signed resolution repeating wartime laws and several minor measures.
