New York Tribune:

Shakespeare.
Here's flowers for you," repeat
Americans and French, lavish in their
giving for Our Boys Memorial day.
Here's flowers for you" echo the
sun-kissed hills and valleys of France,
never more prodigal of blossoms. And
every American soldiers grave in
France is heaped high with wreaths
and flowers on Memorial day. Daffo-
dis in wild profusion, blue iris, red
peoples and peonies, understanding
white syringas and pale primrose find
their places among the numberless
wreaths of immortelles.
Flowers Everywhere.
From slimiest shell holes and poi
sonous trenches myriad violets are
springing they seem to have sought
each sacred spot where a soldier
fell. Down In deserted dugouts we
pick up bits of shrapnel and under

They thrust their petals through the
wreckage of crushed and crumbling
stones and plaster of ruined houses
they hug the twisted rails Of aban-

they wind their slight stems about
tarbed wire and peek through the

%camoufiage. The sobs which rise UNI
hidden in the throat of every visitor
to this holy ground are stifled at the
sight Of them; for they bring an in
disputable air of beauty, purity, peace
hope and happiness to this desolate,
devastated, striker land.

The report of the Dawes COMMITTEES
is considered as a great victory for
the American Legion program for dis
abled soldier relief. Its recommended
tons embody the principal features
Of the Legion plan.
They are:
1. Appointment of one official to
have charge of all disabled sol9jers'
relief and benefits. There now are
three departments.
2. Decentralization of administra-
ton. so officials with delegated author
ity may act without red tape.
3. Appropriation Of whatever addl-

hospitals.

EHpROVED
ROADS
LARGER REVENUE FOR ROADS
Tendency Toward Devoting increased
Portion of Motor Vehicles Tax .
to Highways.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agrieultnre)
For a number of years the general
tendency toward deyoting an ever'in-
creasing portion of the m~otor-vehicle
revenues to road work under the
control and direct supervision of the
state highway departments has been
very noticeable. Prior TO 1912 only a
very small portion of the m~otor-yehicle
registration was devoted to this
purpose. In 1920, 76 per cent Of the
revenue, or SIT, 81 .5s2,57, was applied
to road work under the direct super
vision OF the state highway depart
ments, and In addition $50, 465,57S.04
was applied to road work by counties
or other local supervision, but with
little or no direct supervision from the
state highway departments.
In most states the motor-vehicle
venue are devoted to maintenance
and repair Of the state roads or other
improved highways. These states
seem to have solved fairly well the
difficult problem Of securing funds
for the maintenance OF the more i'm
portant roads under the ever-increasing
traffic requirements. As both the
traffic and the revenues increase with
the number of cars, there apparently
exists a possibility of so adjusting the
registration rates as to keep pace with
the ever-growing maintenance charges.
A number Of the states having In
general but a small mileage of Inn
proved roads have recently adopted
he plan CT capltallzing the motor
vehicle revenues and devoting
hese funds TO road construction. The
states doing this are Illinois, Maine,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada. Utah,
and Wyoming. In them bonds have
heen voted or issued for road con-
struction, and the principal, In some
instances also the interest, Is to be
paid entirely from the motor-vehicle
revenue.
At the beginning of 1921 there were
still seven states In which motor
trucks were registered ut the same
rate as passenger cars, but In recent
years there has been a very decided
tendency in most states to Increase
the fees required for motor trucks
v and above those required for
passenger cars. This increase Is
usually based on the weight of the
truck and It's carrying capacity, Its
horsepower, or a combination Of these
factors. The most general practice
seems to be toward definitely limiting
the maximum total road weight of the
vehicle and basing the registration fee
