TruclS-Highway Problem.
50. Alhans Messenger.


The Providence Journal is devoting
considerable editorial space to the truck
and highway problem, making the point,
which has frequently been heard in Yer
mont, that the trucks escape lightly in
the matter of taxation and do not pay
a proportionate share of the cost OF
highway construction and maintenance.
The Journal declares that in its state
1.-THE incessant demands of the truck
drivers for better roads and stronger
bridges are beginning to attract the at
tention of the taxpayers. - In other
states, says the contemporary, 'the
truck drivers are not at all backward in
making their wants known. They as
sumo 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, 90 As yet the truck
ing interests contribute almost nothing
toward road construction and mainten-
ance if account is taken of the exees-
sive wear and tear caused by the enor-
nous loads carried by the big machines.
Taxpayers have good reason for scrutin-
izing the programs of the truck owners.
In considering this problem it was in
evitable that the contemporary should
be driven to making a comparison be-
tween freight handling on the highways
and by the regular lines-the rail
roads. 1t says that the truck drivers
have at present 'fan unfair advantage
in that they are given the free use of
the public roads for freight. carrying
purposes while the railroad companies
are obliged to provide 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 their
own right of way, but even have to fur
nish no uncomfortable part of the funds
to be used in building rights OF way for
their competitors in the trucking bust
ness. OF course. this is a situation that
is also true of other states.
But, says the Journal. leaving the
steam roads out of consideration, there
is sufficient reason for compelling the
truckirg interests to paw their proper
proportion of the cost of highway con
struction The trucking interests have
no legitimate cause for complaint If
they are asked to contribute in fees
enough to the state treasury to cover
the excessive wear and tear of ponder
Gus rachinPs. - 1t is a real problem
and tho logic seems all on the side Of
those who. like The Journal: believe tho
time has come to ston substituting high-
way freight trains at the expense of the

There was a, man in the land of w

was perfect and upright and one that
feared God and turned away from

Now it seems that Satan thought
that Job was such a perfect man SIM

had all of Jobs property destroyed

FACE STEANfING

FACE STEAMING
If you have "a very bad complexion
full of pimples. blackheads and ugly
eruptions you can help it a great deal
by steaming it occasionally. The
steaming, however should be very
gentle and should be part of a sooth-
ing and healing treatment for the
sensitive skin. The gent1est and best
way to steam the face is to hold over
it a thick towel wrung from very hot
water. When this cools it should
be wet again and held over the skin
until the pores are open and the skin
is flushed red.
Then the cleansing cream is mas
saged in if the treatment is for ordi-
nary blackheads. If the blackheads
are very bad, b1ackhead cleansing
powder is rubbed into the skin and
washed out afterwards with hot water.
If eruptions and pfnples are being
treated the face should be held over a
basin of very hot steaming water,
