Of all the various shortages harassing this country none israore menacing to our national welfare thao shortage of transportation. It was largely the Inex^enHing this amount, the United State sis, in reality, buying a certain number* of ton-miles of load carrying ability orin other wotds highways, the value of which will depend on the amount of material that can be transported over them. The return on the investment will be determined not alone by the type and construction of the highways built, but also by the capacity and design of the vehicles operated over them. As a first step toward securing the greatest return in trans- portation from the money spent on highway improvement, the bureau of public roads at Washington has conducted extensive experiments in order to determine the type of highway which will give the largest number of ton-miles ofload parrying ability per dollar expended. However, the other phase of the problem that of regulating motor vehicles so aa,to get the greatest tonnage transported with the least damage to the roads- presents much greater difficulties, since the decision rests, not in the hands of a centrally located group of technically in- formed men, but with numerous widely scattered legislative bodies. The ineffectiveness of this arrangement can be gdeYi by the fact that methods of restricting motor vehicles vary widely in all parts of the country. While it is certain that every legislature passing a law to establish license fees or restrict traffic, does so in an earnest effort to conserve the roads, there is a strong .tendency on the part of thos not fully apprised of real facts to assume that Jmall trucks cause less road wear than large trucks and that tjiey should therefore be favored S P""^ ^Apparently Senator Reed figures ftoat'Republican fund solicitors, in eWd of going to men known to have money and to be republicans, should tackle a huacli of busted democrats affd get nothing.Denver News- .w O ,However, most people are inclined to thtnk that whei* to jail, K should stay there long, enough to repent a IMjt 5j.
