SAYS TRUCK CAN SOLVE
HIGH COST OF LIVING

Everybody is agreed that the biggest
problem facing America today is that of
finding some means to reduce the high
cost of living. Two factors are held
responsible by investigators, viz, the cost
of getting products to market (transpor-
~tation) and the profits taken by the men
who handle he@products between the
producer and consumer tmiddlemen's
profit. Several cities have taken steps
to deal with the middlemen by opening
municipal markets, where the farmers,
fishermen, etc, may bring foodstuffs and
sell direct to the consumer, with the
result that the producer gets more for
his goods and the consumer pays less
for them. This is only meeting the
problem half way because but a small
portion Of the farmers live close enough
to their market to allow them to bring
In their W products by the present
methods of transportation In use In
rural districts. d, s. Humphrey, chair
man Of the good roads and road signs
committee Of the Cleveland Automobile
Club, says the motor truck will solve
the transportation problem for the farm
er. Mr.. Humphreys opinion on this
subject is to be valued. for he has been
interested in the good roads movement
since before most people knew such q
movement existed.

REVISION MADE

NEW YORK, June 1.-The official
pathfinder of the American Automobile
Association, James A. Hemstreet and
W. NICK. White, of the United States
Motor Company, who were recently In
Newark IN a Stoddard-D Dayton roadster
while revising New Jersey road maps,
left this city today for similar work in
New England.
Messrs. Hemstreet and White COM
pleted their extensive touring inspec-
ton in New Jersey last week, and ex-
pect to spend the next ten or twelve
days in covering trunk lines through
Connecticut, Rhode. Island. Massachu-
sets and probably Vermont and New
Hampshire. They are engaged in keep
ing the A. A. A. touring bureau maps
up-to-date, and will so over two return
routes between this city and Boston, one
via New London and Providence n
the other via Springfield and Hartford.
They will also cover two trunk lines
between Boston and Albany. one via
Springfield and Pittsfield and the other
via Greenfield and Fitchburg. An ac-
curate survey will be made of the

Haven to Greenfield and Pittsfield,
which are, with Boston, the most i'm
portant distributing points for White
Mountain and other Northern resorts.

Comments Upon N. Y. Trsfic.
In commenting upon the traffic sltua-
bn in New York Lord Montagu said:
New York has a problem that Is differ
ut from that of any other large city
the world. Traffic cannot radiate
lom a centre. as In London, except by
krries aud bridges to Brooklyn and

b unusual and continuous number OF

THE subway Is an admirable transpor-

Lord Montagu said that the motorists
of the United States had every reason to
feel gratified with the automobiling and
highway conditions and predicted a great
advance within the next year or two.
He said 1t would only be a question of
time before the highway authorities
would effectively solve the situation by
building the roads of a suitable depth
SO as to give them permanency and
make the surfaces durable for a longer
period and, particularly, dustless.
The Road Board in England, which
has built up the road system there so
splendidly, attributes its success to the
perfect cooperation which exists be.
tween the various counties n locali-
ties. The Road Board contributes a
certain sun on condition the places
benefited contribute a like sum. AS a
result they have splendid roads, and
motor users are practically free of rail-
road travel except for very long dis
tances.
Lord Montagu will remain In this
country until July. his itinerary includ-
ing visits to Washington, st. Louis, In
d~ianapolis, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
Buffalo, Syracuse and other cities, where
automobile factories will be inspected
Some of his time will also be spent In
Montreal and Quebec.

The United states Court.

Honorable Wm. w. Morrow, Judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco who organized the United States District Court of Arizona at Phoe- nix on March fourth, will remain at Phoenix until after the annual meeting of the Arizona Bar Associ- ation on the 18th, and will hold a session of the United States Court on that day at an hour other than that fixed for the session of the Supreme Court for the purpose of enabling members to be admitted to practice in the United States Court. It is expected that mem- bers of the bar from all parts of the new state will be in Phoenix on that day for the purpose of attending the meeting of the associ- ation.
 The rules of the new court pre- scribe that all attorneys wishing to practice there must be admitted and may do so by filing an appli- cation signed by two members of the bar to the effect that they have been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States, in the United States Circuit or District Courts or in the highest court of any state and that they are of good moral character and fair professional standing.
 Judge Morrow and Mrs. Morrow will probably spend a day two at the Roosevelt dam during the com ing week and may visit Tucson at the invitation of the Pima County Bar Association and the Chamber of Commerce of that city before returning to San Francisco.
