THE INJURY no PUBLIC HIoHwAys.

A trip over the improved highways is all that is
necessary for anyone in order to a~ppraise the damage
being done by the operation of heavy auto trucks and
If these vehicles are not regulated as to kind of tires
and weight of load it is only a matter of a year or so
until the roads will be ruined and taxpayers confront
ed with heavy bills for repairs.
Nothing viii more quickly damage an improved high
way than the operation over it of a heavy truck and
the faster it moves the more damage it does. For
which reason passenger stages or buses moved at high
speed are almost as destructive as slow-moving freight
trucks.
Public highways have been improved at large pub
lie expense. The government has borne part of the
cost of construction but it bears none of the cost of re-
pairs and upkeep.
Some of the roads constructed only a couple of
years ago are now breaking down from fast bus driv-
ing and heavy truck loads. If this is kept up, our sup
posedly improved highways will be worse than before
Improvement and cost of repairs will bear heavily on
the already bent shoulders of the taxpayer.
The situation has become serious and county boards
or other public authorities should take immediate &C.
ton not only to regulate the speed Of passenger stages
but the load of auto trucks, as well as impose a toll,
license or tax for the privilege of using improved pub
lie highways sufficient at least to balance the amount
Of damage being done.

waY MoNpELL DOESN'T COME.

Noting the frequent and prolonged stays Senator
Kendrick has made in the state while congress was in
session. observes the Cheyenne Tribune, "and be-
lieving that these visits were for political purposes,
close friends of Mr.. Mondell have urged him repeat
edly to pay a visit to his constituents and make a
little medicine on his own account To all of these
entreaties our congressman has turned a deaf ear. He
writes that he does not see how he can leave his post
Of duty until after the adjournment of congress, which
is now scheduled for about June 1. Almost every day
there is something coming up in which Wyoming is
interested and if our one member were absent the
state would have no one to look after its affairs in
the house. In the senate it is somewhat different.
Senator Warren is always on the job and it makes lit
tie difference whether the other senator is there or
building political fences in Wyoming.
"Again, the duties of Mr.. Mondcll as floor leader
make it imperative that he should be there to take care
of the program from day to day. 1t is either constant
attendance or sheer neglect of duty. His record for
attendance and service to his state has never been
equaled by a member of congress. His good friends
at home will simply have to swallow their envy of the
freedom of their junior senator and await with pa
tience their opportunity to place the congressman in
the other house. One thing is certain-when he
reaches that post he will be as constant to duty as he
has been in his present position.
Frank Mondell believes in 100 per cent per-
formance."

FINANCIAL ASPECTS or BONUS.

Writing on the subject of adjusted compensation for
veterans of world war, Albert Hale has submitted some
rather sensible suggestions along with the hard cold
facts in tine case.
While there is the instructive desire in everyone's
heart to compensate the soldiers for their great sacri-
fees, yet the subject is one that cannot be considered
on impulse, but must be faced as a very practical is
sue. Above all, it should be borne in mind that it is
absolutely impossible to measure by money the sacri-
fees made in time of war. This fact must be fully
recognized when any country engages in a war. Men
who enlisted voluntarily must have recognized This
fact, and those who were drafted should assume the
same burdens as those who acted voluntarily. Re-
ward for performing the duties of citizenship is con-
trary to the very essence of democracy.
Very little emphasis has been publicly laid on the
financial and economic effects of this stupendous un-
dertakng. The country is now staggering under a
load OF indebtedness and taxation which is already
