The Motor Truck.

very singular argument is made
by some of the newspapers that
truck owners should be penalized for
using the public highways. That is
practically what they mean when
they declare that owners of trucks
on the public highways should be
heavily taxed. The prevailing idea,
no doubt true, is that general truck
traffic IS more destructive to the pub
lie highways than ether motor cars
or vehicles.
But the idea of taxing the truck
out of existence for the benefit Of
tourists and joy riders is another
species of playing up the interests Of
the idle pleasure seeker to the dis
advantage of those engaged in the
useful industry of moving crops and
freight of all kinds. To say that
the farmer or manufacturer should
pay the upkeep of the public high
ways for the benefit of pleasure seek
ers, or worse, to say that he should
be taxed to the extent that truck traf-
nc would be prohibitive. is fallacy
in keeping with the argument of the
aforementioned newspapers.
If there is to be a general system
of taxation for the public highways,
and there is already such thing, it
would be extremely unjust if the in
dustrial element of traffic should be
excluded, or so heavily taxed as to
be practically excluded. /: would be
another way of discouraging farm
ing and manufacturing industries
and false system of public economy.
l say that it is on the same plane
exactly as the effort to protect fish
and game exclusively for the sport
ing element, excepting that the lat

The Warren County Times directs
attention to the fact that Hon. Aus
tin Peay will be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Govern
or and that he will offer to straighten
out Tennessee's tangled finances.
The candidates all, from the Lower
House up, will have to state in un-
mistakable English what they stand
for before this paper will entertain
any choice in the matter. They
have got to say first whether or not
they are in favor of a tax for the
State and county fairs and then
they will have to make a specific
statement as to how much of the
revenue shall be collected for higher
education in Tennessee. We under
stand from reliable authorities that
Senators Craig, McGinnis and Over
ton have returned their warrants for
the extra pay of $3.50 for members
of the Legislature, and that Repre-
sentative Keaton has done the same
thing. This is only by way of refer
ence however to more important mat
ters The Legislature should amend
the Constitution in this respect. 1t
isn't fair to say that men should go
to Nashville as representatives for
less than actual living expenses.

The Road to Gibbs.

Last week we made the statement
that the Gibbs road would be made a
part of the Bristol-to-Memphis high
way, or rather it is understood that
this would be the plan. We have nc
idea who made this report current or
whether or not there is any founda-
ton at all for the report.
Honestly l hope it will not
be done. | have dreamed for years
of the possibility of making greater
Union City by the construction of a
paved highway to Gibbs. If this road
is graveled in the usual manner of
highway construction it will be a
failure as far as Union City is con-
Cerned, and for that reason l hope
the State Highway Commission will
locate the Bristol-to-M Memphis high
way where it belongs.
The gravel roads we are building
are not truck roads. They are by no
means permanent.
We are firmly convinced that the
road to Gibbs should be made solid,
permanent structure.
Over and over again we have made
the statement in this paper and we
stand by that statement to-day, that
with a paved road to Gibbs there
would be no Gibbs. 1t would put us
on the l. c.. road and the name of the
station would or should be Union
City.
/ don't know what sort of a chance
we would have with the |. C. r. r.
Co. to secure this technical advan-
tage. l do know that no railroad
company will recognize traffic road
of cheap construction and surface.
1t has not only been matter of
stupidity and thickheadedness that
the people of Union City have not
built dray or truck road to Gibbs
quarter of a century ago, but an
abuse of stupidity that it has been
neglected from year to year.
This is the highest compliment we
can pay to our citizens for the neg
lect of an actually necessary i'm
provement For years we have been
the butt of criticism for the road to
Gibbs. The Lions Club did make a
preliminary step in this direction, but
it is only just begun. Before that it
was a burlesque, huge Joke per-
pctrated by the commercial club
the hanging of that big tin sign, "See
Union City First, Best Town in the
South" and few other extravagant
words belied by the very thing that
we called public highway to Gibbs.
don't see how the mon who leave
Union City for the markets or to
enjoy vacation can help but realize
the reflection this road was or is up
on our enterprise when they meet
some of their influential friends.
don't think it is any mistake to
say that Union City could easily
have been twice the size it is if
paved road to Gibbs had been con-
structed twenty years ago.

HEAVY REPRESENTATION

The registration OF voters for the
city election Tuesday reached the
grand total of 1,O11, divided in the
three wards as follows: First ward
29O; second ward, 406; third ward
315.
It ia needless to say that this is
by far the heaviest registration ever
recordede In Montpelier. We doubt
if there is another city in the west of
tho same population as Montpelier,
that has ever approached anywhere
near tho record set by this city for
a municipal contest. It showed fine
spirit upon the part of the people of
Montpelier and demonstrates the in
terest taken In city affairs. Keep it
up-that is all that is required to
make Montpelier better city and a
more desirable place in which TO live.

COMMUNICATION
Montpelier, April 22.'2.

Montpelier, April 22,'21
To The Examiner:
In the last issue Of The Examiner
and in the Salt Lake Tribune April
21st is published the extraordinary
proceedings OF our county commits
sioners In regard to the wage scale
fixed for Bear Lake county work.
Naturally this wage will draw press
comment from coast to coast as
editors, laborers, merchants or min
listers have never set eyes on such Q
i, ridiculous wage set for 1921.
No man can eat meals day and
sleep in a bed at night at this wage
and see movie once week. More
over he and his four horses would
die OF old age working at this wage
trying to pay his taxes for 1921
The Idaho state wage scale is $3.50
per single hands. Mr.. p. B. Nelson
District Engineer of the state has
said that the highway from Fish
Haven to Georgetown could be grad
ed for 100000 per mile, but evil
IDENTIFY he doesn't know his business
as our commissioners think this
work can be done for about $500
as per their wage scale.
Think gentlemen OF working your
self and four horses two days for the
county and one day for yourself pur-
chasing and hauling homo one ton
of coal and one sack OF oats.
We don't know where you men buy
your groceries. coal. shoes and etc.
but We would like to know how you
figure you can ever repair even one
mud-hole IN this county at this wage
of $3.50 per day.
And we are wondering IL you can't
see that you are paving the way for
Montpelier especially TO lose. as our
paving contract was let at such q
time that the contractors could vel
afford TO pay $500 per single hand
and moi. less than 800 Tor man and
team. But by your setting thu
pace for wages We taxpayers o
Montpelier stand to lose thousand
OF dollars.
Think It over Commissioners ant

ACTIVE BASEBALL
SEASON ASSURED

That Montpelier will have an &C
tive baseball season is now assured
by the baseball committee of the
Chamber OF Commerce, which has
outlined plan for promoting first
class team in this city for the pur-
pose of playing strictly independent
ball during the summer. The COM
mittee is composed OF the same men
who acted in this behalf last year,
being y. H. Beatty, e. e. Mulica and
Frank Sunderland, If.
In speaking Of independent base
ball, Manager Beatty states that this
was the most satisfactory class Of
ball for Montpelier, which eliminates
the costly and many awkward fea-
lures of being allied with a number
Of teams in a league. It will be
easier to finance and more self-sup-
porting.
A FINANCE COMMITTEE
Tho committee has conferred with
President-elect Harold Toomer OF the
Chamber of Commerce relative to
the appointment of a finance commit.
tee, and tho committee was assured
that such committee would be ap-
pointed and that steps would be TAX
en- at the next meeting to complete
preliminary details of financing a
good homo team in Montpelier.
There are many towns that wish
to enter into contests with Mont
pelier. Inquiries have already been
received from Kemmerer and other
towns. Good teams arc being or
ganized In Rock Springs, Green Riv-
.er and Kemmerer in Wyoming, and
in Soda Springs, Bancroft and Grace.
Games will bo arranged with these
teams. 1t is planned to play the
majority of games on the home
grounds.
Everybody should boost for a good
ball team-it will be a valuable as
set to tho city.
