Discussing The Auto Question.

mobile which Is at least ten years tout
of date. There was . time when Just
such remarks as his were made about
the bicycle and until the world pro-
crossed farmers would strike from
their wagon seats with wfnp at
passing cyclists. Mr.. Mesa sees moth
ing but the speed maniac when this
specimen has become the exception.
Nowadays the vast majority of auto
mobiles are driven by careful men 81
family who usually have their GAYS
laden with women and children and in
enormous number the drivers ARE
prosperous farmers themselves. In, the
case of Mr.. Howe he is known to bs
one OF the most cautious and careful
drivers ever seen on a public high
way. He uses car for his family's
pleasure and convenience and is en-.
titled to a passable road because his
property is taxed for that purpose.

It is probable that the womanquoted
by Mr.. Mesa never said what is at
tributed to her and unless Mr. Mesa
actually heard 1t himself he should not
believe such tales. The average auto
list nowadays is an average person.
Mr.. Mesa thinks that the farmer IS
not paid for dragging roads but the
facts are the law Of the state requires
township trustees to levy a I mill
tax for road dragging and all OF the
tax on automobiles is to be spent on
the roads for grading and culvert
work Farmers are paid so cents per
mile for dragging and the law pro-
vides for fines II road superintendent
neglect their work. Nobody is asked
to do road work for nothing but the
public is entitled to enforcement Of the
road dragging statute. The autotst Is
not the only one making demands.
Every man with vehicle and every
merchant who wants people to come
to town is interested.
So far as Mr.. Mesa refers to the
speed maniac and his desire to enter
eternity his remarks will be we'll taken
by everybody but let's not get the
idea that good roads are demanded
only by automobile owners when the
people OF a majority OF the states IN
this union are voting bond issues into

Auto VS.. Railroad.

[Sioux Falls Arg US LEADER
Ten thousand people who formerly
took trips on the railroads are now
doing their travelling by auto, accord
ing to statements made by railroad
traffic managers who are much wor-
ried over the decreased passenger
business on this account. But this
is only small part Of the story. The
railroads lose also great deal OF
business from those who formerly
took trips. but but who are now so
well satisfied with their autos that
they stay at home during the summer
To enjoy them. And this is still not
al, of the story. The auto business
has fairly begun. The auto sales this

;,,nrove and confidence increase Ihei
comm ercial journals agree that the IN
dnstrial and trade situation fully main
+ains its recent Improvement and al
f,r+ber advance in activity is noted in
tho renorts from the leading centers
The remarkably favorable crop OUTLOOK
at the middle Of August, when every
dav makes the risk Of deterioration or
samage more remote, is the basis OF
the most optimistic sentiment that mas
existed in six years. This optimism
grows daily, in spite OF the TACT tha'
nrices except for declines in cereals
and cotton, continue on a. high level
still making consumers more or less
cautious. There are other causes OF
conservation remaining over from the
old hut now disappearing, order OF
depression. but they are being over
whelrned by the great tide of prosperity
which seems to be rising in all sections
Of the country.
The IRON anu SlScl eAoeSi "a "''
important departm ents, continues to
expand, with further increases in un-
filled business.
The railroads, with gross revenues
in the first week Of August 81 per
cent larger than last year. are actively
preparing for big fall business. The
number of idle cars has diminished and
the carving OF the increased business
of the country is already becoming
serious problem.
The dry goods trade trade in every
hranch. both cottons and woolens,
wholesale and retail, shows sustained
activity, which Is all the more re-
markabe because this is the midsum-
mer season and because high prices
still produce complications. The cloth
ing trade IS excellent. Leather and
hides are very strong. In spite Oh
the high prices Of raw material. the
shoe trade commands an active con-
sumption.
Copper production is at a high point,
the July output Of refined breaking
all previous records.
The big break in the market for
raw cotton Is one Of the notable de-
yelopments OF the situation, because
It is brought about by the favorable
crop news, which increases the pros
pect Of a large yield. The wheat and
corn situation is also auspicious. New
building operations are heavy.
Bank clearings this week outside OF
New York increased 83 per cent over
1911 and 1873 per cent over 1910: III
New York there was a decline Of
