Next week we are t, observe Armistce day. In
America we have so many holidays and weeks that
most cf US lose track of of them But the No

stand out above the Others
All Of us remember with what joy we greeted the
first Armistice day, how we forgot business and
care and worries and threw everything to the winds
Our boys were coming home from overseas and the
fighting was over. That was all we cared about
Now those same lads who fought for US and our
general prosperity there are home and most

must pay attention to its commerce. to its industry
to its material and political success.
But we must not become so engrossed in our daily
labor that we fail to give thanks to the men who
made possible that first November II celebration.
Not only must we remember to remember them but
we must also recall that we ourselves made certain
sacrifices and endured certain privations for the
nations success at arms.
So let us on this next Almstice day give
thought to our manhood which offered its all for our

otto celebration. We need more holidays that will
take our minds away from business in this country.
Almistice day serves admirably. Let's not take it
for granted. forgetting to even look when the boys
march down the street.
Kipling's Tommy Atkins, it will be remembered,
was great fellow when the drums beat, but when
peace reigned he was bloomin bounder, in the way

the ngratitude that marked Tommys reception
when English guns silenced.

Toll Systems

Not sc many years ago in this country all the
GOOD roads were called turnpikes and toll bridges,
really gates spanned the highway ut intervals. II
YOU wished to use section of the highway you paid
q fee fer the privilege. Then came the idea OF
municipal ownership Of the highways and the toll
bridges began to disappear The highway bridges
were operated under the same arrangement, almost
all of them being toll bridges Later this, too. was
changed, the bridges passing TO county and state
ownership, being constructed and supported by gen.
eral taxation.
The doubt has arisen from time to time AS to the
fairness of the general taxation for highways and
bridges. There is as much TO be said for one theory
as for another. One group claims that by the toll
system each user pays the maintenance cost IN
promotion to the actual he has gotten from the
highway or bridge and thus it is the farest policy
for the who it not at all. pays no tax for
it. Under the general ownership each taxpayer
must pay his share of the cost and maintenance
whether he uses the highways or not.
Toll systems have been said to be inadequate and
obsolete Yet this can scarcely be if we may
bridge between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the
longest suspension bridge in the world Here the cost
was borne by the two states for construction, and
bonds issued. Then toll is charged every vehicles
using it. The receipts from these tolls are much
greater than estimated that all the mainte
nance charges repairs and interest the bonds Will
be paid and something left over for gradual retire
,nent CT the bonded Indebtedness.
This proves that toll systems be operated il:
our modern civilization. Certainly in theory they
are more equable than is maintenance by general
public tax.
