tation can be as effective as rail-
roads. but 1t Is asserted that under
the plan there can never be COM
plete paralysis Of the transporta
tion systems.
Col. Brainard Taylor, chief of
the Motor Transport Section, War
Department, has worked out the
plan. He says of It:
In the early stages Of ma
tional strike, State governments
must keep the population sup
piled with the necessities Of life.
Volunteer motor transport or
ganizations would spring up all
over the country and there would
be confusion and repetition. That
is why the Government has
taken this matter in its own
hands.
1t must be borne in mind that
rail and motor transportation
should never be in competition.
They must work side by side.
Railroads even in case Of strikes
must be kept moving by employees
and Government guards. 1t is es-
sential that the railroads supply
the long distance hauls.
WHOLE COUNTRY CHARTED.
Our business has been to chart
the country. Every city of more
than $4,000 population has become
a kew to the plan. Inside the city
transit lines and small delivery
trucks would act as deliveries.
Then we must make an average
ten.mile circle around the city.
drawn from the point Of further
service OF transit lines. To the
I radius Of that circle trucks Of not
more than five-ton capacity would
act. Another fifty-mile circle Ia
drawn. Ten-ton trucks would
serve that area.
Twenty cities form an area. For
each area there 10 one main re-
pair center. Trustworthy agencies
are equipped with every conceiv-
able part Of truck. These
agencies can be turned into re-

and meat-eating will cease also,
but not for many years. Frost,
rain, and earthworms create the
soil. Grass and other vegeta-

the grass, spending all day

Eat meat, mutton especially.
Give mutton rather than beef

Not a pleasant last word.
Rats and fleas develop and
spread the disease, the scien-
lists say, and rats and fleas,
with mice,. mosquitoes and
other pests, could be exter-
minated if Government would
take the trouble.
Why is not that part Of Gov
ernment's work? Why should
it be left to John D. Rookie

feller be depended on to fight
disease systematically?
With his scientific institute
he has earned, ten times over,
every dollar that the country
has given him. But the Gov
ernment ought to do its share.

GERMANY PROTES
u against sending $4,000 tons
of nitrogen to France, because
that is equivalent to 100000
tons of ammonium sulphide,
which in agriculture means
100000 tons Of grain. Nitro
gen is food.
If our Government won't let
Ford produce cheap nitrogen
for farmers at Muscle Shoals,
why does not the Government
do it?
Answer. Because the Govern
ment does not want, or dare,
to interfere with the Fertilizer
trust-that would be Social

SENATOR KENDRICK Oem.)

SENATOR KENDRICK DEM
Of Wyoming: construe Mr..
Hughes latest utterance on the
all-important subject Of world
economic and financial readjust-
ment as an indication that the
Administration Is at last coming
to realize the vital necessity Of
our assisting Europe to get on it's
feet instead Of continuing to
sacrifice our commercial business
and agricultural interests upon a
policy Of blind isolation.
SENATOR KING Dem) OF
Utah: Mr.. Hughes idea Of an
economic commission is not new.
The Germans only recently sug-
gested 1t to the United States
Chamber of Commerce. In my
opinion, the Secretary Of State
sought to camouflage with fine
distinctions the economic con.
ference the Administration knows
is inevitable. Until there are
adequate economic adjustments
the American people are bound
to suffer with the rest Of the
world, but whatever economic
conference is held must be held
in the open and not permitted to
become merely a secret diplo.
matte maneuver fostered by in
ternational banking interests to
attain their own selfish ends.
SENATOR JONES R.. Wash.

doing anything to help bring

President Harding and Secretary
Hughes to look after our best

within their power to help restore

ditions to a sound And sane basis.
