TAXPAYERS AND TRUCKS

Getting something for nothing is just about diff
cult as lifting yourself by bootsraps People who
think they are getting something for nothing for less
than it is WORTH would we'll analyze the facts and
see if they not in reality paying exorbant price
For instance in years there has been great de-
veopment of the commercial truck ntercity ransporta
tion The commercial trucks able to give service at
less cost the railroads give it, within certain linn
it's The public thinks it is getting the service at less cost
But is it? That is an unanswered question Our highly i'm
proved highways cost the public about 100000 mile Ordi
nary light travel is not very wearing them but heavy
truck service is exceedingly injurious Here is the way
one observer presents the economic question of the truck
service and cost eff heavy truck so cents per
mile damages the public highways to the extent of one
dollar mile the shipper of freight nothing and
the truck keeps the so cents and the taxpayer pays
the dollar, where does the taxpayer get off?'
On a highway that cost 100000 mile to build, it is
doubtful that heavily loaded truck could traverse mile
age In fact many mile of apparently first class highway
has been ruined by heavy trucks This
particularly during the period when road repairs
were not kept up At any tme however, the upkeep of
highways is greatly increased in cost by the heavy trucks
The whole subject is which, naturally, there is
no definite information. It is practically impossible to de-
the amount of damage any particular truck
any particular time But there is much complaint
that heavy traffic is rapidly destroying highways that
would otherwise be good for many years for light traffic
which they built and for which most people
Them Sometime may learn with fair degree of def
niteness just the public is paying in
give few people cheaper transportation Raise the
1ual license heavy trucks to proportion of other
