Why Experiment.

0NE Of the greatest natural products of the west
" is asphalt, and in 1921 over 5000, 900 square
yards of asphalt and asphaltic concrete waterproof
pavements were laid in the United States.
From New York to San Francisco highways and
streets paved with asphaltic concrete are standing
up in good condition and have been used from
ten to twenty years and without crumbling or
cracking.
The socalled rigid, non yielding types of pave
ment, built of brick or solid concrete, and hav-
ing no shock.ahsorbing cushion. wearing surface,
have declined to less than 8 per cent of the total
hard-surface construction.
1t is admitted that solid block pure concrete
structures make n durable foundation for high
ways or streets, unless subjected to alkaline cor
rosion in the soil or the impact of heavy traffic
which crumbles them, unless they are given an as
phaltic resilient wearing surface.
Motor cars spend annually $100 on tires, and
have 10 per cent less wear on an asphaltic concrete
surface, amounting to a saving of $10,O0O,O00 an
nuaLy on tires in four western states and $780,
100000 q year in the United States.
With all these facts and experience plainly in
evidence, it is not remarkable that both in CANDIDA
and the United States more of the combination
pavements known as asphaltic concrete are being
laid.
1t is really remarkable that cities, counties and
states, with the tremendous expansion of motor
vehicle traffic before them, should continue trying

to Judge his discoveries and contentious, and it oc-
ours TO them that, as he was not likely to be mis-
taken, perhaps what they saw in the theater, like
what they had read in the magazines, had little or
nothing to do with Einsteinian RELATIVELY.
And the wiser the doubters are the more they
will doubt, and a good many of them, considering
the matter carefully, will come to the second con-
clusion that there is but one way to arrive at an
understanding of what the doctor has in mind.
1t is a simple way, though not easy.
Starting with a mind having n more than ordi-
nary turn for mathematics, one must study that
science for fifteen or twenty years to the almost
complete exclusion of anything else. Then, having
mastered all its higher and highest forms and ex.
tensions, one will be prepared for the further step
into the domain where DR.. Einstein has led the
way.
The attempt to explain his theory to people
who know only the elements of arithmetic, algebra
and geometry is quite hopeless. The thing cannot
be done, and however humiliating the confession
may be, most of us will be obliged either to take
our Einsteinism on trust or just ignore it, as we
do much else in mathematics, as of no concern
to us.

The Producer Pays.

pAILROAD TAXES increased $50 per cent from
IL 1911 to 1921, while operating revenues in
creased 100 per cent. 1t is estimated that in 1922
the tax burden on the railroads will be $500,
100000. Out of every dollar revenue in 1920 they
pay 5,36 cents taxes.
This burden of taxation is not only nationwide
in character, but also of long standing. In the Five
Per Cent Case, 1914, the Interstate Commerce com,
mission said:
'Thc large increases in operating expenses and
in taxes were tn" chief causes for the diminishing
net returns of tho railroads upon their invest
ments. Of these two expenditures the latter was
by far the more influential factor; the ratio OF
taxes to operating expenses, taking the year 1913 as
an illustration, being about 1 to 10"
The commission further pointed out in the same
investigation that the rate of taxation on railroad
property in 1900 was $50 mills, an increase in
rate of 35.5 per cent. With prophetic vision the
commission added:
'There is no reason to assume that the burden
laid upon these carriers in the forms of taxes will
be less in the future"
Senator Borah points out that these increasing
taxes are indirectly levied upon the producers and
shippers of the country.
"That tax burden comes back upon the producer,
he pays ultimately and inevitably, as much as if
it were levied upon his personal property or upon
his real estate. These public utilities must collect
this money from but one source, and that is from
those who ship; so, as a matter of fact, it is an
ot@er form of tax directly upon that class of
people"

Prosberitg ahead

EMPLOYING over two million people at good
III wages, spending millions each week for mater
ials and supplies, the railroads are a good baro-
meter of business.
The number of freight cars ordered for use in
the United States in 1922 amounted to 1S0,154, the
largest total since 1912, contrasting with only %,
3l6 and 64,2O7 cars in years 1921 and 1920 respect
lively.
Locomotives ordered for domestic service in 1922
totaled 1900, the largest figure since 1918 as com.
pared with only 230 in 1921 and 1898 locomotives
i'll 1920.
Altogether, 1t Is estimated that the railroads con.
tracted for the expenditure of more than $471 ,224,-
600 during the year for freight and passenger cars
and locomotives combined.
The average cost of freight cars is now said
to be about 81 700, passenger cars about 500
and locomotives about $4,000.
Orders for equipment for 1923 are still larger
than for 1922 and with no national shop strike,
coal strike or Big Four Brotherhood strikes ahead
our country may expect increasing prosperity.

Record as one of them. He knows that knowledge

found i'll n set of the Record. a history of the
Copious quotations from the worlds best litera-
ture are found there. Scientific subjects of all
sorts are discussed, particularly in connection with
the various tariff bills. Every detail of our gov
crnment our economic resources. our domest C
and foreign trade, and our growth as a nation is
discussed. The bible, of course, came first in the
list and if there is still room on the shelf and
suggestions are desired we would like to suggest
Webster's dictionary and if there is to be mail

Thus equipped Billy Sunday would find enter

The Annual Sacrifice.

MORE than twelve thousand persons were vic
III tins of automobile fatalities in the United
States in the year 1929.
Is not this too great a toll of human life from
one cause alone?
1t would seem so. And 1t would seem also that
with all the effort put forth by public authority
to save the lives of the people the list should be
much smaller.
In spite of the intelligence and ingenuity brought
20 bear in the situation, the list has steadily
grown with advancing years.
lust what will or can be done in the matter is a
problem no city, county or governmental authority
has been able to solve.
New York came first in the list of deaths, 7S5,
with Chicago second, 1876. with other cities showing
totals of from two and three up to 300.
The whole country admits the distressing stu.
alton and all are striving by every means known
to reduce the death list. Examining courts and in
vcstigatOrs fixing the blame agree that it is due
equally to Cnrclcssness on the part of operators of
AUTOMOBILES and trucks and carelessncss on the
part of pedestrians.
The steadily increasing use Of motorIdrivcn cars
and the growing hccdlcssncsS of those on foot is
certain to bring an appalling list of fatalities with
each succeeding year.
1t all seems like useless sacrifice.
