FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THE
STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.

Approximately $3,250,000 is the
minimum amount now in hand and
sight that the State Highway De-
partment will have at it's disposal
for the construction and maintenance
of highways in Louisiana in 1922,
according to estimates submitted to
the House Committee on Highways
by Mr.. Wilson T. Peterman, chair
man of the State Highway Commits
sion. This embraces revenue from
all sources, including state license
taxes and federal aid.
Mr.. Peterman told the committee
that the collections from the auto
mobiles and vehicular license taxes
from January l to date were III
round figures $1,6OO,000. Additional
licenses and penalties to be collected
during the remainder of the year
will increase these figures he said,
but it would be difficult to make a
correct estimate because this is the
first year of the operation of the
department under the new law. The
additional revenue from this source,
he thought, might bring the total to
$1,9C0,000.
The revenue from the gasoline
tax, Mr.. Peterman said, had fallen
below expectations. The first of the
year it was estimated that the gaso-
line tax would yield about 100000 a
month or $4,000 a year. Actual
experience has shown the estimate
was too high. The collections ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000 per month
This tax, he believed, would bring
S45O,OOO or $5OO,0O0 during the cur
rent year.
Federal aid road. funds now avail
able for the state, the highway chair
man said amounted to $998,000. This,
with the automobile license tax, the
gasoline tax and a few thousand dol
lars from the licensing of chauffeurs
made the total of minimum OF
s3.25O 900 available for highway pur-
poses this year.
Mr.. Peterman said Congress now
has an appropriation bill pending
that will give Louisiana an additional
allotment of about $750,000 for high
way purposes. He recommended that
the licensing of chauffeurs by the
state be abolished and the parish
and municipalities be given authority
to license and regulate motor vehicle
drivers. He thought that the course
to be best because the collection of
these licenses have been troublesome
and because chauffeurs should come
under local police regulation.

PROCLAMATION FOR FIRE PRE-
VENTION MONTH.

Whereas, with the proper care and
forethought much of the tremendous
fire loss in this state and country
might be prevented; and
Whereas, it is essential that in
order to minimize this prodigious
waste it is advisable that the people
be constantly reminded of the neces-
sity of taking precautions against
fire;
Now therefore, I, John M. Parker,
Governor of the State of Louisiana,
do hereby designate and proclaim
the month of June as Fire Preven-
ton month; and I urge every citizen
of this State to take an active part
in making this month of practical
value to that end by the removal of
all trash, rubbish and such other haz
ards as may exist on his respective
premises or places of business. All
this in the interest of economy and
reducing the danger of life and limb.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal Of the State of Louisiana

Baton Rouge, on this second day of

WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC IN.
STITUTE HONORS DISTING.
UISHED ALUMNUS.

One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the thirty-second annual
commencement exercises of Worces-
ter Polytechnic Institute, held at
Worcester recently, was the pres
tation of the John Scott medal for
distinguished service in science to
Elwood Haynes, noted inventor and
president Of the Haynes Automobile
Company, of Kokomo, Indiana. The
award was made for discoveries in
Stainless Steel, Stellite and Chrome
Iron." Mr.. Haynes, who has won
worldwide fame as the inventor,
designer and builder Of Americas
first mechanically successful auto
mobile, was present lin person to re-
ceive in person the award.
The city of Philadelphia is trustee
of the John Scott fund, and the
award was made by an advisory
board from the University of PEN
nsylvania, the American Philosophi-
cal Society and the National Aca-
denny Of Science. Mr.. Haynes receiv-
ed medal, certificate and eight
hundred dollars in cash.
Perk up and stay perked. The
month of May witnessed a crafty
ing improvement in the American in
dustrial world. Manufacturers are
putting many of their idle men to
work again, and plants that have
been running on short time have in
creased their hours of activity. AL
together, the situation is fairly sat
isfactory to those who are not seek
ing to get rich one day and cut
dash the next.
Those war fraud millions are still
occupying the public mind and the
pockets of the thieves.
The truth should always be told.
but sometimes it is safer to let the
other fellow do the telling.

TOO MUCH SELF.

Over in the old world the war
goes merrily on in their efforts 70
preserve peace. -.
To the careful observer on this
side of the Atlantic, however, there
appears to be one necessary element
that is almost entirely lacking. The
welfare of humanity is forgotten. e
has been side-tracked in favor OF
self-interest and greed.
1t is readily conceded that the ma
tions desire lasting peace, but each
wants that peace on terms that
predominate in their own favor.
The league of nations is failure
for that reason. The Washington
conference was time wasted for the
same reason, and the Genoa confab
was tarred with the same brush.
Now they are planning for fu-
ture meet to be held at The Hague,
and unless history reverses itself the
same road will be travelled there.
Nothing of lasting nature can be
accomplished in world adjustment
until humanity triumphs over self
ish greed, and that day has yet to
come.
This government should speak
softly and keep it's powder dry.
There are no wings yet in sight.
Some people are perfectly willing
to feed millions of dollars to the
birds-provided they are other peo-
ple's dollars. Europe never tires Of
importuning this country for great
loans, while at the same time they
are spending their own money on
the maintenance of immense armies.
With Europe on the brink of another
. war, with industries torn and dis
rupted, with bolshevism boring under
the surface, with hatred and distrust
everywhere, it is difficult to under
stand how adequate security can be
offered for such loans. international
bankers and bond houses may advo-
cate them, but such concerns do not
as rule invest their own money.
The gullible public supplies the
dough" when it buys the bonds.
And incidentally, Mr.. international
Banker slices off his full pound of
flesh by underwriting the bond is
sue. If we have any money to feed
to the birds we can find plenty Of
the feathery tribe in our own yards.
Feeding, like charity, should begin
at home.

ne AtLOTIey HcHcTdi VI Iflc Jill
ed States announces that he is go
ing after the war gougers and
grafters-the men who robbed the
nation while others were fighting for
it. The announcement comes after
the press of the country, regardless
of politics, had spoken to the point
and in no uncertain terms. It is to
be hoped that adequate punishment
will be inflicted before it becomes
necessary for the press to cease
talking and resort to roaring. A
thief is a thief, whether he be rich
and powerful or poor and unknown.
Foreigners of distinction come to
this country, criticise us, laugh at
our "provincialism," and go home
envying our progressive spirit. The
harsh things said of us are many
and biting, yet we forgive them in
those who have eaten of our salt. A
former American diplomat gave some
good sound advice to certain people
in the Balkans and French court
sentenced him to twenty years inn
prisonment-during his absence. The
sentence will never be carried out
for two reasons. First, the French
: government will never have the
nerve to pursue the farce to an end.
Second, the American fist is still
hard and there is plenty Of power
behind it.
Russia may be the land Of starva-
tlon and desolation, but the bolshevik
leaders have combined with Germany
and have plunged the old world into
q frenzy of turmoil. Everybody
knows what ought to be done, but
nobody knows how to do it. Each
nation has pet suggestion of its
own to which no other nation agrees.
Two cats thrown over a line with
their tails tied together will spit and
scratch and make a lot of noise. The
Genoa delegates may not be dang
ing over line, but their actions
are much the same. Keep the At.
lantic between us.
