Overlooking OF TRUCKS NOT
TO BE TOLERATED
Highway Commission Starts Cam
paign to Enforce Law Regulat-
ing Loads Carried by Trucks.

Madison.-Th Wisconsin highway
commission is starting on a campaign
70 enforce the law limiting the loads
carried by trucks on the state high
ways.
A loadometer, with which a truck
can be weighed on the road, will be
used to determine whether trucks
are carrying an excess weight and
where excess weight is found the
overload win be removed from the
truck.
Under the terms Of the state law
state and county highways are class
flied, and there is a limitation to the
weight Of the load to be carried un-
der the different classifcations.
There is a further limitation load on
the width Of the tire Heretofore it
has been impossible to determine
whether or not the loads were in ex-
cess Of the legal limits, but the load
ometer win quickly tell the story.
The new law empowers the high
way commission to compel the driv-
er of truck found with an overload
to remove the excess load from the
truck 1t also provides a penalty for
Overlooking 1t is the intention of
the department as a first step to
compel overloaded trucks to dump
their excess. In other states this has
been found to be a highly efficient
remedy
The loadometer is an apparatus
about one by two feet in dimensions,
built Of steel, and hollow. Project
inp from the side is a dial on which
the weight IS registered The steel
plate is beveled on each edge so that
the wheels Of the truck can be run up
on the center and the load can be
quickly weighed II has been oper-
ated with success IN a number Of
states.

A Snrnln. of Renter.

Some new proof, if any further Is
needed, Of the increased prosperity
Of agricultural regions, is seen in the
surplus of farm tenants
A land owner commented on this
fact recently and alluded to the ease
with which the owner Of land could
contract with a renter, compared
with year ago.
Back in the bleak days, not so
long ago, when farmers were dis
pairing and saw no future in their
business, renters left the land in
large numbers and took up other oc-
equations Many of them were at
tracted to industrial centers by the
chance TO make more money.
Now the land is coming back into
its rightful place and can compete
successfully with other businesses
that employ labor.
II is beginning to dawn upon those
who left the farm, that it is the
place to make money, with prospects
of good price for record crops.
Former renters who are seeking
to return to their old occupation,
have doubtless noticed, too, the way
the farmers dollar has increased in
buying power until IT is practically
on a level with its pre-war value

Gen. Miles Was Hero
of Strikebreakers In
1894 Railway Strike

The death at Washington circus
of Gen. Nelson A. Miles recalls to
veteran Chicago labor men his un-
savory role in the 1894 railway strike
of the American Railway union. This
strike, which was led by Eugene v.
Debs, and for which Debs served a
prison term, was crushed by Miles,
whom Pres. Cleveland put in military
charge in Chicago.
Though Cleveland's investigating
commission later reported mo evil
dence that the officers of the Ameri-
can Railway union at any time par
ticipated in or advised intimidation,
violence or destruction of property, .

ROUMANIA FAILS
TO PIT NATIONS
AGAINST RUSSIA
Attempt to Open Dispute
on Bessarabia Falls Flat

MOSCOW.-(By Mail. 1.-The Wien
ma correspondent of the Rosta news
agency reports that, after a certain
lull, the so-called Bessarabian ques.
ton is again in the center of the DO
litical Interests Of Roumania. The
Roumanian government is carrying on
energetic propaganda in foreign coun-
tries in an effort to induce Italy and
Japan to ratify the Bessarabian pro-
tocol (by which the powers recognized
the Roumanian annexation Of Bess-
arabia).
However, considerable part of the
press is rather Indifferent to this is
sue, with the exception, naturally, of
some chauvinistic organs that pretend
to believe that the present moment is
an opportune one for the realization
of Roumania's ambitious plans. The
more reasonable and the moderate
papers are beginning to yeer round
and counsels of reason are ever more
frequently heard from their columns.
These papers point out that not only
is 1t highly improbable that Italy and
Japan would be prone to spoil their
relations of friendliness with the
Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics
by an action quite unnecessary from
the viewpoint Of their own interests,
but that the further insistence of
Roumania on this point may we'll
bring discredit on her own govern
ment.
