It is time now, as National Highway Week rolls around again pause and reflect on the bene- summed fits of better highways up most tersely as saving lives, saving time, saving money. The 41,000 mite interstate Sys- is, of course, the outstanding example of the broadest appllca- tlon of modern highway engineer intg, with controlled access, wide, sweeping curves and divided traf lanes. When completed, It will save from 6,000 to 0,000 lives a year. It will cut travel time from a third to a half, and highway travel expense almost In half present-da- y "stop and go" highways, ilf the System carries about 23 percent of the nation's traffic as estimated, construction and maintenance costs will figure out to .4 of a cent per vehicle- mile compared with .7 of a cent for the average primary highway of earlier days, and over 12 cents (for secondary roads. Usefulness considered, therefor, the finest highways cost far less than the inferior one. Studies al- ready made on thruway operation on commercial vehicles, indicate that measurable benefits in cash savings will amount to three times the cost of the entire In- erstate System, while truckers will save $2 billion a year in ewer operating costs and prven- tion of accidents. The average driver of the fam- Uy car will save money on more mil: per gallon, per tire, per for that mat- ter-- per car.

The government lives off of the private economy, and1 not vice versa." With these word's, Representative A. S. Ilerlong made a stirring plea before Congress for tax rate reform. The fcax "break" sought after hy the Florida Congressman is embodied in the Herlong-Bake- r legislation, finst introduced three years ago by Ilerlong and Representative Howard Baker, a Republican of Tennessee. ' Just what is the essence of these bills? Well, it would bring about the gradual reduction of taxes r for everybody over a period. It would reduce theasic rate for the individual to 15 per cent from 20 per cent over five years and it would reduce Jhe top rate to 47 from 91 per cent. To repeat, all of this would take place over a five-yeperiodand it would also reform the capital gains tax for individuals, the estate and gift tax, and the depreciation rules and methods for business. What other bonuses would accrue from this program? It would make possible the accumulation of capital by corporations and by individuals for investment in America's future something that's severely limited under present coni fiscatory rates. And it would, in the long run, provide much more tax r reducrevenue than would be lost temporarily by the tion program. This would result from an expanded economy which would boost the amount of tax revenue. . (D-Fla- ). nd i jr able to the (bank.

'According to the Foundation analysls, nrollment increases and the decreased purchasing power of the dollar were responsible for less than half of the rise in school operating costs since 1947-4- 8. Other factors such as reductions in class size, and increases in teacher salaries and other costs beyond that caused by enrollment incnases, and the rise in the cost of living accounted for more than 5(2 of the school expenditure rise between the 1947-4- 8 and the il960-- I school years.
