HIGHER TAX RATES HAVEN'T PUT The
TRUCKS OUT OF BUSINESS IN OTHER STATES

Montana trucking association representatives frequent
Iy argument that if the Legislature compes the
trucks to pay their of the highway bill they will be
forced of business since they will longer be able
to compete freight rates with the railroads.
This argument-like many others presented by
ISOLATION spokesmen-is nonsense
From less authority than Automobile Manufac
turers Association, present the following examples
which give the lie to such trucking lobby malarky
Illinois, Although Gross Vehicle Weight fees

aren't going of business in that state because
of higher freight rates ANA shows that to the contrary
there's been substantial increase in the number of trucks
on Illinois roads in recent years spite of the 1851 GVW
tax increase 1850 Illinois had 343 trucks registered
In 1853, the total had risen to 355,341.
Wisconsin,: Here again, the trucking industry is not
being forced the wall because of highway taxes
sideraby higher than those in Montana According to the
ANA Wisconsin truck registrations have increased from
222 361 in 1850 to ,573 in 1853.
Washington Our neighboring state to the West has
similar record of increased truck registration going from
5,708 in 1850 to 1869 in 1853.
Oregon: For all dire predictions Of the trucking indus
the weght-mile tax because that industry must
pay of highway COSTS it has in wise slowed
trucking business in that state In 1850 Oregon had
13O979 trucks of all kinds paying their proportonate
share of highway COSTS In 1853 additional 10000 had
added the rolls, with total in of $780,
reports Automobile Manufacturers Association And in
Oregon personal observation proves concusvey that the
trucks are really getting their moneys worth in way of
new minimum grade, minimum curve express highways
the kind of highways that greatly reduced operating
costs, faster deliveries, etc.
More equitable tax rates won't put the trucks out of
business Montana either The trucks have good prod
uct to espeedy transportation Montana shippers like
those in Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon, will
continue to patronize the commercial truckers.

In 1850, the greatest cooperative project
in the history of the U. S. highway research
was undertaken in Maryland.
The purpose of the project was to deter
mine the relative effects of four different
axle loads on a concrete pavement. The axle
loads used were $4,000 Id. and % 400 ID. on
single axles; and 80, 900 Id. and 1900 Id. on
tandem aXles.

maryland Study Reveals
Highway Truck Damage

The trucks travelled approximately 400, 600
miles during the 6-month test period from
June through December 1850.
The test highway was divided into four
sections, with trucks of each weight using
separate, specified section.
FINDINGS CONCLUSIVE
The findings of this objective, comprehen-
sive study were conclusive. They proved:
l. The % 400 Id. single-aXle loads caused
GA times as much cracking as the $4,000 10.
sngle-axle loads.
2. The Al 800 ID. tandem-aXle loads caused
1878 times as much cracking as the $4,000 ID.
tandem-aXle loads
g. Cracks due to the loads were found in
58a6 of the slabs in the lane carrying the
%, 400 h. loads; compared with 26 % for the
$4,000 h. loads.
A. Cracks due to the loads were found in
96fd of the slabs in the lane carrying the
1880 h. loads; compared with 27&o for the
$4,000 ID. loads.
5. The pavement. was markedly depressed
and cracked at 500 of the joints in the lane
subjected to p, 400 Id. loads; compared with
Is 60 for the $4,000 10. loads.
g. The pavement was markedly depressed
and cracked at 90 % of the joints in the lane
subjected to 44,800 Id. loads; compared with
8f6 for the 80, 900 Id. loads.
7. 1t required more than, times as many
truck passes of the $4,000 h. as the 44,800
ID. to cause the first slab crack
The results show that truck damage to
highways increases-not in direct proportion
to increasing weght-but much more rapidly.

new mothers feel this way and that
it's due to physical changes in
yourself, you won't feel half so bad.
Fathers, as well as mothers,
need to know about this low point
after baby's birth.
Young Ralph Strong was about
ready to chuck the whole job of
being a husband and father.
All through Mary's pregnancy
he had been kindness itself, but he
just wasn't prepared for what hap
pened when Mary and the baby
came home from the hospital. He
couldn't seem to do anything right.
He said the baby looked like An
dy Gump Che did, too) and Mary
wept and Stormed at him that he
didn't love the baby. He had never
known Mary to be so unreasonable.
She cried and made singing re-
marks every time he turned a.
round. The Mary he had married
seemed to have disappeared. It
was hard even to be civil to this
weepy, irritable person. After a
day or two he began returning her
jabs.
If Mary could only understand
that she felt as she did because
her body was playing tricks on her,
she could have been a lot nicer to
her husband. And if Ralph could
understand, too, that Mary was 60
ing through a difficult time, he
could have thrown humor mixed
with tolerance into his behavior.
With understanding, the two of
them could weather the storm. AZ
ter all, these symptoms pass just
as the rash of measles passes.

Junior Gardeners To Stress Good
Citizenship And Identification

Good citizenship will be stress
ed by the Junior Garden Clubs re-
Gently re-activated by the Key
West Garden Club.
The Garden Club stresses the
fact that the boys and girls are the
citizens of tomorrow and that by
teaching and making it possible for
the young people to enjoy and ap.
preciate the wonders Of the grow.
ing world, they will take pride in
their homes, schools, and com.
munity.
The Junior Garden Club program
includes extensive planting Of trees
and flowers, not only in every in.
dividuaPs yard, and at every
school in Key West, but in every
available space in the community.
1t is the hope of the Garden Club
that future tourists will come to
Key West and see the Island as
one large garden with many trees
and exotic flowers blooming every
where.
The "Litterbug" campaign is al
so a part of the program. With
cooperation there will be no need
for Cleanup week" in the COM
munity as this is year-round pro-
ject.
The school authorities have &C.
tually made the project possible.
Superintendent Horace O'Bryant,
the principals at all elementary
schools, Sister Superior at the Con-
vent and the school teachers have
given their whole-hearted assist
ance. They have helped to plan
school ground Identification and
provided a place to meet.
Members Of the Mothers Club,
the PTA's and parents have come
forward and offered assistance and
time in this extremely worthwhile
project.
Unlike most communities, the
Key West Junior Gardeners will
have full program, not only dur
ing the school year, but during
school vacation, thereby directing
idle hours into wholesome recrea-
ton.
Most gratifying is the desire and
eagerness Of the boys and girls
themselves to be Junior Gardeners.
Mrs. Hesse has familiarized the
boys and girls at each school with
the program. The question asked
most often is "How soon may we
become Junior Gardeners
The boys and girls at Poinciana
already have beautiful school
grounds to. be proud Of and are
eager to do more. The pupils from

to attend meetings. The boys and
