$4,000, 900 Spent

Colorado Per Year

It is often asserted that motor
lists spend considerable money in
the states through which they
tour and that the financial return
to a state from this source in
cludes a large sum from resi-
dents of other states The state
highway commissioner of Colo
RADIO decided to find out. if pos
sible, how much truth there was
in this frequently made claim. So
he distributed in Denver, Colo
RADIO Springs and Pueblo a circu-
lar letter of inquiry regarding
the expense of touring to resi-
dents Of other states, the length
Of their stay in Colorado and
similar facts He obtained re-
plies from &c tourists from other
states. which showed that each
car carried four persons. as a
rule, the average expenditure
was $3.50 per person per day and
the average stay in the state was
2S.6 days. The records of travel
counts and other estimates of
foreign cars indicate that during
1916 about rs, 500 cars Of non
residents passed through Colo
RADIO, and the state highway
commissioner estimates. on the
basis of the replies to his in
Quiries, that as a result Of this
touring by non residents about
s10.O00.000 was brought into and
spent in the state. Touring is
made easy by 19 camping sites in
Colorado cities or towns and by
the camping facilities afforded
under reasonable restrictions by
the officers in charge of the
national forest reserves.

Canada has gone through precisely
the same conditions that now con-
front US. SO the effect OF the war
there ought to be fairly Indicative
of what we may expect here. Gen
eraI business conditions are very sat

tins.
I found that in 1913 Canada had in
creased its number of registered cars

070, or SO per cent, as compared to
1913. War was declared August 1,
1914. so that the last figures were
little affected thereby
Now. after two and one-half years
of warfare. Canada is this year buy
ing 100, 600 new motor cars-almost
five times as many as were purchased
during 1914, and an increase of IS
per cent over the normal increase for
1918 and 1914.
Every possible effort has been made
to have Canadians save to help win
the war. Ever since war was de-
clared the people have been impor-
tuned TO discourage the spending of
money for things not absolutely nee
essary. The people are constantly
confronted with placards. postcards.
letters. billposters. newspaper articles
and every other publicity device
known to discourage extravaganza
And when you stop to think that
100, 900 new cars are being bought in
a country with a population of only
5000. 900, the condition can be ac-
counted for in no other way than
that Canadians do not regard the au-
tomobile as a luxury, but have found
IT under war conditions a prime ne
cessity. It has aided in the move
ment of troops, facilitated the trans
portation of war material, increased
the efficiency OF the farm, aided in
the quicker movement Of all things
pertaining to business and has been
a great economic factor in the de-

AZ the United States expected to buy

Theory and prophecy are not very
convincing. but here are the actual
facts. The experience Of Canada for
the last two and one-haf years. and
her present liberal patronage OF the

what the future has in store for US
