There can be little or no surprise at that order fro— the state highway commissioner restricting the loads carried on the improved reads, other- wise than the cement roads, to five tons. It was bound to come for the heavy trucking has been ecarried to such a point that new roads are quickly wrecked because they are put to uses for which they were never 1n- tended. The investments in the ma- cadam or even gravel roads are too great to have them nullified by un- reasonable use The upkeep of such roads is large with only the traffic they were expected to accommodate, and the limiting of loads thereon is only what towns and cities have been forced to do in safeguarding bridges against the similar exorbitant loads for which the structures were never intended. When =~~~ t=nM~ ~ots to the point where It is wrecking one of the very things that make it possible, it is time to call a halt. There are others who participate in highway taxes who are entitled to fair consideration for their money. Motor trucks and vans can be expected to increase before going in the opposite direction but they are getting to be as bothersome to other traffic as the deaf driver of a load of h Whethers the restrictions on the loads will resuit in an increased de- mand for permanent, or eement, high- ways will develop in time. It is un- questionable cheaper in the long run to builg the more costly road to start with. Its upkeep is practically noth- ing and it outlasts the other type many times. But even with such it can hardly be expected. that even more solid cement roads are going to be built under the idea that trucks equaling freight cars in size and| wuight can be driven over them. There’s a limit even to good things and it is service not for the few but for the greater number that must get consideration. PUTTING IT UP TO PRESIDENT. However the president may feel that the respo lity for the defeat of the treaty li in other directions, he cannot help feeling, as the result uf the petition that has been present- &4 to him, that there are those whose opinions are worth considering who believe that he has had a significant part therein and that it lies within his power to do much that will bring apout the approval of the treaty even at this late date.

By a mere exchange of notes be- tween the United States and England, those two jealous neighbors pledged themselves to disarm forever on the Great Lakes.
