Auto Is Now
Fifth Industry


the country In speaking of this fact,
Clarence H. Bissen, president of the
New Jersey automobile and motor club,
recently said:
To-day the automobile industry, ac
cording to the compilations of statis-
tics. is the fifth industry in amount of
capital invested and value of produc-
tions. The automobile industry has
takeh great lead in the increased
valuation of our manufacturing indus
tries. and now that commercial We
can not be headed off. IT is for this
reason that all states must pursue a
libedal policy in dealing with the mo-
tor vehicle proposition. The individual
states can not enact laws for motorists
that will result in retarding the prog
ress of the industry. If federal legis-
lation can not be secured at this time
the individual states must enact laws
that will permit reciprocal relations
between licensed automobilists. With
commercial vehicles becoming in more
constant use, the reciprocal relations
and arrangements must ensue, other
wise progress is retarded"
