were disclosed in the formal applica-
ton for loan Of $100,000,000 made to
the financial division of the Interstate
Commerce Commission by s. Davies
Warfield as president of the National
Railway Service Corporation.
This loan is requested to aid the
service corporation in financing equip
ment trust certificates for the pur-
chase Of all or any part Of the 100000
bad-order freight cars of the country
or those not In condition for service,
and for the further purchase of new
equipment for the railroads.
Through the financial plans. Of the
service corporation, as laid before the
commission, large sums of money
would be liberated to the carriers,
through the purchase of cars standing
unfit for use on their tracks, and in
addition the money would be provided
for rebuilding These cars TO meet trans
portatiOn requirements upon the return
of normal conditions. This would give
employment to thousands In opening
up railroad and car manufacturing
and supply shops.
The application placed before the
commission states that 1t is submitted
that the loan proposed is indispensable

gram for the. prompt rehabilitation
and rebuilding of railway equipment

TRUCK HIGHWAY PROBLEM

TheProvidence Journal is devoting
considerable editorial space to the
truck and highway problem, making
the point, which has frequently been
heard in Vermont, that the trucks
escape lightly in the matter of taxa
ton and do not pay proportionate
share of the cost of highway con-
struction and maintenance.
The Journal declares that in its
state "the incessant demands of the
truck drivers for better roads and
stronger bridges are beginning to at
tract the attention Of the taxpayers"
an other states" says the contem-
porary, "the truck drivers are not at
all backward in making their wants
known. They assume that the public
is so good natured that it will pay
the millions they ask without a
thought of the heavy cost of the
special privileges demanded"
On the matter Of sharing the costs
The Journal says, "As yet the truck
ing interests contribute almost no.
thing toward road construction and
maintenance if account is taken of
the excessive wear and tear caused
blythe enormous loads carried by the
big machines. taxpayers nave good
reason for scrutinizing the program
Of the truck owners.
In considering this problem is was
inevitable that the contemporary
should be driven to making a COM
parison between freight handling on
the highways and by the regular
lines-the railroads. It says that the
truck drivers have at present ian I'M
fair advantage in that they are given
the free use of the public roads for
freight carrying purposes while rail
road companies are obliged to pro-
vide their own right Of way"
1t might even have gone further.
Here in Vermont the railroads are
one Of the prime sources Of state
revenue, so that they not only have
to maintain to furnish no consider
able part Of the funds to be used in
building rights Of way for their COM
petitors in the trucking business. Of
course, this is a situation that is also
true Of other states.-St. Adams
Messenger.

Down in Massachusetts, there is a
bill before the Legislature forbidding
the wanton destruction of trailing
arbutus. The bill permits picking
the flower, but is strong against pull
ing up the same by the roots, and
thus killing out the fragrant and
popular flower. Throughout this
county the plant is greatly injured
by the easy method of pulling it up
by the roots, but in so doing it is fast
killing it out. Have care in pick
ing this beautiful early spring

In an interview with the Woodstock
Age, Speaker F. S. Billings announces
his candidacy for the Lieutenant
Governorship on the republican state
ticket. This is what has been
expected. 1t has been conceded all
along that if Mr.. Billings wanted the
position he would have no opposition
and now that he has said that he
would take it "it goes without saying"
that the nomination will go to him
without opposition. This is as it
should be, as Mr.. Billings made a
splendid record as speaker during
the last session, record that has
but few equals. He performed his
duties well and expedited business in
a most remarkable manner, giving
the state good service and winning
the appreciation of every member of
the house, regardless of party affilia-
ton. As Lieutenant Governor Mr..
Billings will prove himself equally as
good in that capacity.

CITY DADS
BLUNDER in
BOND Sales
Severe Criticism Is Voiced in
Bulletin OF Voters In
formation League

Probably In no way has the city
council made more costly hlunders
than In tho sale OF It's utility bonds
during tho past year" says the
February bulletin OF tho Voters
Information league. off the press
today.
10 begin with. the council. over
tho protest OF tho business inter
eats OF the city. decided 10 rush
the Skagit project TO completion at
any and all costs There does not
exist today market for any con
siderable portion OF the power
which this project viii produce In
excess of what the city will be
able TO furnish when tho additional
Cedar river project II completed.
Evertuaily Il can probably be used.
but as things stand today II could
have been delayed most profitably.
We do not condemn the Skagit
project. but do most emphaticaiiy
condemn the manner in which the
whole project has been handled.
Early last year when the bond mar.
ket was such that per cent bonds
could not be sold at par. the coun-
Gil evaded this by first trading
million dollars OF bonds for ma
chinery. and later BY trading s..
100000 Of bonds for the tunnel con-
struction. II Is known that the
contractors took these bonds on a
basis OF IS cents on tho dollar.
Those same bonds are now on the
market at above par. A few weeks
ago tho council. without advertis-
Ing and without even the knowi
edge or approval of the mayor or
partment. sold $4,000. oco water
bonds. II now develops that there
was no urgent need for this sale
as the work could not be started
before the middle Of next summer
Last summer the city of Los An.
rcics. thru It's council. sold SIS. GEO..
ooo Of per cent utility bonds under
similar offer and tho supreme
court OF California has just set the
sale aside. holding that the voters
authorized per cent bonds. and tho
law further specifies they cannot be
sold for less than par. and that the
sale was Illegal The California and
Washington statutes and require
rnents in this respect seem 20 he
identical. II Il therefore probable
any taxpayer could stop this sale.
but why should u be necessary to
thus compel our counclirnen TO act
within the law.
The mayor os Los Angeles now
claims that these sl5.0oooco 5 per
cent bonds can Be sold at n small
premium. thus saving the city
something like si.7oo. 600.
IF. instead OF hurrying thru tho
Skagit and other projects. for which
tho necessity did not exist. by trad
Ing bonds for work and material. the
council had followed the advice OF
the Chamber OF Commerce. had de-
Iayed contracts and bond sales until
the present time even. they could
probably have made a saving OF
81. 900 600 to the city.
