THE WORLD V
WORLD MOVES, al

sometimes 1t seems to move
backward. The initiative and
referendum was really copied from
the political methods in US in the
Greek republic twenty centuries
or more ago. and now we find the
New York Herald impressed with
the value Of the old toll road prin-
ciple and suggesting its adoption
on a new road exclusively for
trucks and to be built from state
funds. 1t says:
The Connecticut highway au-
thorities have begun surveys for a
highway from Bridgeport to the
New York state line, which. if it is
constructed, will be restricted to
the exclusive use Of motor trucks.
The route will practically parallel
the Boston Post road, and it is con-
fidently believed by the officials
of Connecticut that if the con-
struction of the road is authorized
New York state will build a con-
t~inuation of it to New York City.
The United States bureau of public
roads is said to be in favor Of the
enterprise.
Freight transportation by truck
has reached such volume that for
several years there has been seri-
Gus congestion on the Boston Post
road. 1t is declared by Motor
Travel that 10000 vehicles make
use of this highway every day. Of
these, 1000 are commercial motor
trucks. There is no indication that
the number of vehicles will be re-
duced; on the contrary, there is
every reason to expect it will be
increased. When good times come
and the industrial plants in the
country tributary to the Boston
Post road are running at top speed
the transportation problem will be
more difficult than it has been in
the slack times through which the
country has been passing.
1.-THE use of motor trucks in the
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-07-31

Connecticut factory district has
cost the railroads hundreds of
thousands of tons Of freight. The
proposal to build a highway espe-
cially for the trucks will bring UP
in concrete form questions of a x
alton and franchise rights that have
already been raised but have gen
orally been ignored. The railroads
pay great sums in taxes for the
right to the transportation bust
ness of the country. Heretofore
the competitive truck companies
have generally escaped this burden
If a highway for the trucks is built
out of the public treasures the
railroads will of course help to pay
for its construction and main
tenance, unless some way is found
to put its cost on its users.
Toll roads have fallen into un-
pOpuldllty Iii Tx ohAtCu otdtGS,
yet the virtue embodied in the
principle on which they were con-
structed is recognized in such
imposts as the car fee paid by
trolley corporations for the use
of public bridges and in the tolls
to be charged for use of the tun-
nels from New York City to Jer-
sey City. Perhaps in some adap-
tation of the toll system will be
found a means to distribute fairly
the cost of highways for freight"
The figures given by the New
York Herald sheds some light on
the reason why the stockholders Of
the New York and New Haven
railroad have had no dividends for
many years now, and lot much
prospect of interest on their in
vcstment in the future.

III ASIO IL tIC S1lIZCLS Oh Iudt an
cient municipality or the state of
Pennsylvania are ready to foot the
bills for it. But it seems to US
that under present conditions they
should be told to keep their hands
off federal taxpayers money. Fed
eral taxes are of crushing weight
just now. W. are still paying
war taxes" on nearly all that we
buy, either at home or abroad. 1t
is o a good time to ask the tax
payers of the United States to
finance big shows. In fact we
have done far too much of that in
the past. One international expo
sition seems to breed another, and
each is made bigger and more
costly than its predecessor. 1t is
time to call a halt. Most of our
older cities can dig up some his
toric anniversary to celebrate if it
is going to bring in enough out
side money to the camp. We bet
ter quit right now, so far as the
United States treasury is con-
cerned, in financing these affairs
in part.
In 1876 Philadelphia celebrated
the one hundredth anniversary of
this same event. A majority of the
people who attended that celebra-
ton are now dead. The writer
is one of the small minority. 1t
was a big show all right for that
time. We recollect that the tele-
phone was exhibited as a graet
curiosity and visitors had the
strange experience of talking to
friends over a few miles of wire.
There were a few other inven-
tions now in common use that ex-
cited the wonder of admiring
crowds.
The centennial exposition at
Philadelphia got a vast amour of
free advertising. We remember
we'll that it was said that never in
our life time would such an oppor-
tunity be offered to see such won
ders and gain so much education.
1t worked so we'll that the writer,
then an apprentice in a country
print shop, spent more than a third
of his yearly salary to take it all
in. The centennial exposition was
SO vast a success that pretty nearly
all the big cities in the United
States started to duplicate the ex-
%perience of Philadelphia with new
and bigger expcsitions that would
put the first one in the shade.
They have been at it ever since,
each one bigger than the last, or
claimed to be so. And now Phila-
delphia comes up for the second
round and US that her
sequicentennial exposition will
dwarf all previous shows in glory
and magnitude. leaving the old cen
%tennial like a white chip in the
game. Perhaps it will. Nearly
half a century has passed since we
attended the other. Somehow we
find our enthusiasm and belief less
vigorous than in the days of yore.
W. have a notion W. would enjoy
the new one less. At any rate we
would not be willing to make the
same financial sacrifice to at
tend it.

ance warrants. and the action Is not

AS Supt of Scientific Temperance

for their cooperation in arousing in

the temperance cause through the
medium of the essay and poster con-
test, under the auspices of the Ma
tional w. C. T. U. which is recon-

interest of teachers, pupils and par
ents
Scientific temperance instruction
is more essential now than ever be-
fore. The injurious effects of al
cohol and tobacco on the human sys-
TEN must be continually emphasized
if we would safeguard the life of
this fair nation of ours.
Some great writer said prohibition
was put over in the U. S. by our
teachers. Most certainly it is in the
hands of the teachers of the children,
more than any other individuals, to
mold the character of the future gen.
erations, who will make or mar our
nation.
1t is only necessary to call the
attention of teachers to anything
that is uplifting to enlist their en-
ergies.
To facilitate this work to all those
who have not access to appropriate
books and Libraries, in gathering in
formation for their compositions, in
the essay contest there will appear
suggestive helps in these columns for
weeks following in the form of facts
and opinions of great thinkers con-
corning the subjects chosen for the
different grades and contestants are
at liberty to use these points as quo
tations in their original compost

This work can be done in the reg
ular school routine, without conflict

Making posters will make delight
full busy work for the primary
grades. These may be in sketches,
free-hand or pastel designs; water
colors may be blended in the letter

will be indeIibly impressed upon the
minds of the youna
