GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH GAS
Trucks Use Twice as Much Fuel on
Dirt highfays Is Of One
Built Of Concrete.

That good roads cut the cost OF
gasoline Q than 80 per cent is
stated by Freight Transportation Di-
gest." A loaded two-ton truck was
used in a test and in running lOO
miles on IN earth road consumed 17.3
gallons of gasoline, making an aver
age of 5.7S miles a ~allon. The cost
figured at % cents a gallon was S4.33.
The same truck was used on a con-
crete road and travelled the same dis
rance on $40 gallons of gasoline, max
ing Ills miles per gallon. The cost
in this case, figured on the same
basis, was s.. -. The net savings in
way vas therefore $2.21, or more than
100 per EN-.
Statisticians could step in here and
t~onjure a colossal sum to represent
the savings in gasoline o S if all the
highways of the United States were
paved, remarks the Columbus (O.)
Dispatch. They could. for instance.
assume thar all of the one-half million
motortrucks in the country were two.
ton trucks. and or this basis figure
out a saving in gasoline costs equal tc
a couple Of Liberty loan issues.
This enormous reduction in gasoline
costs, coupled with the ability tC
handle loads with less fractional eff
fort, has become one of the strongest
arguments for good roads. The two
tests cited in this instance show con
clusively that poor roads ure eXpen,
sive to the farmer and merchant alike.
The farmer who hauls with a motor
truck is getting only one-eigkth Of the
profit he could get and the merchant
and inter-city freight truck operator
are paying III twice what they should
for gasoline and are getting only one
eighth of the profit they could get.

CITY POWER FIGHT
 ENDS IN DOG FALL
Supreme Court Denies Con- pany's Petition for lniunc-
 tion-Limits Authority

Meridian, Miss, April 15.-(Special.) Federal Judge Edward R. Holmes has denied the application of the Meridian Light and Railway company for an in- junction restraining the Meridian city council from enforcing a recently adopted ordinance fixing the rate to be charged for electricity, abolishing a customers service charge of 75 cents on electric meters and allowing a 10 per cent discount on all bills paid on or before the tenth of each month.
 Judge Holmes, however. in his de- cision. upholds meter service charge ot 75 cents on gas meters, but sustains the the decision that the municipality has no Jurisdiction in fixing the rate for electric power, which also is one of the provisions of the city's rate ordinance. The rate fixed by the city for gas, which became effective April 1. is s1.S0 per 1000 feet; for electric lights. IS cents per kilowatt hour.
 The decision of Judge Holmes, which is looked on as dog fall more than victory for the city or the company, will in no way stop the programme or the city for the issuance of $6oo,0o in bonds for the purpose of providing a fund for the building, equipment and operation of it's own electric plant. The election on the bond issue has been fixed for May IS. The election has been called in the face of the utility company's proposal to establish a three-part rate, which is declared would result in a still greater reduc- tion in the price of electricity than that rate provided for in the city's ordi- nance just upheld by Judge Holmes.

300 Davidson Building Washington, April 5.-(SpeciaL) )-The peoples legislative service will feast on choice viands at the Ebbitt hotel Satur- day evening
 The dinner Is in honor of the new progressive" members of the House and Senate. Senator LaFollette, the brain power of the movement, makes an ex- rlanatory statement of which the fol lowing is an excerpt:
 This need (for the legislative service) arises out of the fact that while spe- cial interests of all kinds are represent ed in Washington and bring influence to bear upon legislation, the interest of the general public is not represented. Thus measures affecting the whole pee- pie go by default"
 RADICAL CLAN
 The members of the service are regard ed as radical, and representatives of special interests themselves. There are spokesmen of farmers unions, railway brotherhoods. radical publications, non partisan leaguers, miners union, cathoi- icism and the cause of Ireland. The ex- ecutiye committee, with Senator LaFoi- lette as chairman, has as members: ". G. Lee, Warren S. Stone and George F. Hampton, all of whom have proved their ability to bring pressure to bear against Congress, especially during the stress of war and the chaos following the war.
 The following senators are members I.aFolIette whose record is known France of Maryland, republican, who ad- vocates resumption of trade relations with soviet Russia; Ladd of North Da- kota, republican. regarded as extremely radical; Norris of Nebraska, republican who in course of an anti-war argument referred to the dollar mark as the United States flag; Walsh of Massachusetts democrat and Roman Catholic, who ar dently espouses the cause of Ireland.

 Some of the members are: Mrs. Harriet Croly, editor the New Republic; Giisor Gardner, Frederic c. Howe. B. M Jewell president railway employees departmen American Federation of Labor; J.

 In reply, the board reiterated reeom- mendations which it had made on Feb ruary 4, as follows:
 (a) Escort vessels to deep water rom our ports, and similarly from deep water to our ports.
 Cb) Arrange with the British and French governments for the convoy of our merchant ships through the barred zones.
 (c) Merchant ships to proceed on the high seas from points of leaving and re- ceiving escorts, depending upon their guns for protection. and upon changes of course to follow alternate routes. (d) Arrange with British and French governments code of signals to be used m directing merchant ships as to routes to be followed and points of meeting escorts
 (e) Establish a patrol of the Atlantic coast.

FEES OF SURGEONS
ARE TO Be LIMITED
Steps Taken by Johns Hopkins
Hospital of Baltimore viii Re-
duce Cost of Operations.

Baltimore-Johns Hopkins Hospital
has taken steps to curb profiteering
In surgery. 1t was learned that the
board of trustees Of the famous hos
pital has begun at home It's efforts to
dispel the tendency Of many physi-
clans and surgeons to overcharge
wealthy patients.
A sweeping dictum issued by the
trustees and limiting a surgeons fee
for an operation, even on millionaire
patients, to $1,000 and a physicians
fee for attending patients in the hos
pital to $35 week is regarded gen.
orally as an order affecting the medi-
cal men of the nation. +'-'.-'' --~r
Part time physicians and surgeons
practicing at the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, the only ones affected by the die
tum, are frankly displeased over the
strenuous order inasmuch as fees for
operations on wealthy patients have
in the past brought In neat sums.
Many of these surgeons have made
a practice of charging from $1,000 to
$4,000 for an operation, and in Ian
guage phrased as automatically as
possible the hospital trustees made 1t
plain that, so far as Johns Hopkins
is concerned the practice is obsolete.
1t was pointed out that the dictum
does not affect the regular full time
physicians, surgeons and other men,
bers of staff, as all their fees go into
Joint fund, to be later distributed
among the different departments.
On the other hand, there are many
practitioners, most of them Of renown-
ed ability, who have been practicing
at the hospital and charging fees COM
mensurate with the pocketbooks Of the
patients. 1t was said that $1,000 fees
had of late been growing common.
Higher fees had been reported.
