TOLL BRIDGES

OF the nine states in the Union
that have no toll bridges In opera
ton or building. Connecticut and
Massa c husetts are included. This is
a good record for the two New Eng

not joined the parade Of 80 states
which are encumbered with such
"reminiscences Of day when toll
roads were common throughout the
land.
Senator Smith W. Brookhart. do
Ing a turn in the American Motor
list. calls attention 10 the fact that
private interests now conrol 50 per
cent of the nations toll bridges:
that the erection of toll bridges at
strategic points Is an offense against
the principle of free highways: and
that the privateiy-owned bridges are
earning 1873 per cent upon tnelr
cost while the publicly-owned
bridges are earning per cent. And
at the present rate of granting
charters. the total of toll bridges in
the United States will double
within a few years. Touring by auto
mobile will yet become more e1pen-
sve than taking ones whole family
to the same destination by train.
Where is the public interest"
which is supposed 10 actuate the ac-
tons of public officials? This Excess
sive number of toll bridges IL not
in the public interest. If the process
continues TO develop no motorist will
be able to drive 200 miles from
home without paying toll five or six
times. Motorists in Connecticut and

THE ATTACK ON MELLON

Senator Walsh of Montana, and
those supporting him in his attack
upon Secretary of Commerce Mel
lon, doubtless is sincere. But that
isn't saying much. So is a cimex
lectularius.
The Montana Democrat, and sun
dry Republican Progressives. put on
quite show in attempting to get the
administration to ditch Mr.. Mellon
because the treasury head is idsnti-
fed with corporations There 10 an
old statute, Of a piece with blue laws
everywhere neglected. which states
that the secretary Of the treasury
must not be interested in carrying
on trade or commerce.
The law, Of course. il folly. What
man capable OF being secretary Of
the treasury would not be interest ed
in trade and commerce? II such 4
one happens to exist he wouldn't be
the type OF man to have as secretary
of the treasury.
Mr.. Mellon has owned stock In a
Pittsburgh distillery. although he
sold his interests before becoming
identified with the government, ac-
cording TO his announcements: Mr..
Mellon, among other things. la inter-
ested In the aluminium trust. TO the
best of anyone's knowledge. he
hasn't sold his interest in this and
other corporations--if he attempted
it, a fearful amount of stock would
have to be purchased by others, and
perhaps the price would 60 down.
Anyway, he would still have its
equivalent in money. which he would
have to invest in something or other
and still run the risk of being Inter
ested" IN trade and commerce.
A sense of fairness forces us to
make these remarks. We have never
written an editorial brief for Mr..
Mellon. and in some of his activities
shared the disa approval OF his critics.
But II it IL the intention Of his pres
ent enemies in the Senate to Dust
him because Of adubioua law. the
better plan in our opinion II 10 re-
peal the law. alsng with 4 batch Of
other laws that cucumber the books.
II It ID the intention Of the
prosressives TO prove that Mr.. Mel
Ion violated the antitrust law. that
liz a different matter. 1t appears.
however. that such a charge il mere
ly an incident in the present pro-
cedure. Our opinion is that Mr.. Mel
lon would not be so foolish as ID vio-
late the antitrust law, regardless Of
what any of the concerns in which
he is interested have done about this
statute.

for by the Mexican Red Cross. The
task, being one of social welfare. is
not exactly in the line of the ordi-
nary activities of the American Red
Cross. These people constitute a
special problem. for which Mexico
feels responsible and for that reason
the Mexican Blue Cross was Or
eanized at San Antonio. Texas, in
October, 1919. Its service includes
