Allowing for an increase in the num- Der of residents of Arizona, of 50,gO0 since the taking of the last census, giving the state a total resdeucy of 260, O00 persons the registration of automobiles in Arizona during the year past has brought the state up to the top in the average of cars to population. At the present time there is one car to approximately every twenty persons in the state. In Iowa the state which has more cars per capita than any other in the union, there Is one car to approXi- mately every twelve persons. Aut0mo- bile men declare this average far above expectations, and state that Arizona is well in the lead in the per capita own ership of machines of many. much larger, and more firmly established states of the union.
 The outlook for the year coming. however. they declare is so bright that unless Iowa is careful of it's honors. the , baby state will strip the older sub division in the per capita ownership of automobiles.

 These two companies. however. are exceptions to the rule. They are about the only companies which have such increased production as to enable them to sell their output at any lower prices than 1916 figures

AUTOMOBILE CLUB IDEA REVIVED
TO
 FORM 4 CLOSE
 ORGANIZATION

About five years back. the organ ization known as the Maricopl Automobile club became but a name, and the organization itself consisted merely of a hypothetical packer to- the annual Los Angeles to Phoenix race which a few of it's whiloni members promoted in conjunction with the state fair and the board of trade.
 Then. even the name evaporated. and with the passing seasons. auto mobile racing passed directly iuto the hands of the automobile depart ment of the state fair
 Now. however. movement is un- der way to rehabilitate racing un- der the auspices of an automobile club, and that club has been organized under the title of the Central ArI- zona Automobile Club. It will be ob- served that il now takes in more territory than did the Marioopa club: in fact its field of labor is enough larger to justify its being state wide. More than mere racing promotion will be handled by the club. It aims 10 become q factor in the upbuilding of a good roads system that will give the people Of the state and those who travel through the state some satisfaction for their money or their efforts.
 The organization is not complete. but it is so nearly complete. that 1t can be spoken of as a de facto one. T. D. Shaughnessy, secretary of the state fair commission. as temporary secretary of the club. will call a meeting of the directors and vice presidents during the coming week. to adopt the by'-laws, elect perman- ent officers and finish the routine work of organizing.
 It IS planned to secure a strong membership in Maricopa. Pinal. Gila and nearby precincts of other con- tral Arizona counties, and later. t,, see what can be done about spread ing the organization, either of itself or by means of coordinate clubs in the other sections of the state. It is the aim of the promoters to bind the automobile men together in large. harmonious organization that can be placed back of any meritor- ious movement to better the admin istration of state and federal road building plans and funds. It is also the object of the club to head off the organization of locals. and branches of outside organizations which charge a comparatively large membership fee and devote the major portion of the fund to outside work It is noted that the membership fee in the Central Arizona Automobile Club is to be but s2.50 a year, ot which only the half dollar is sent out of the state. for membership in the American Automobile Associa- tion. the recognized authority on licensed racing and the organization which fought the federal aid bill through congress, and secured the fund of which Arizona is 10 receive in five years. fairly large fund for road work

as Sept l5, no further deliveries could be promised before January 1. so that since that time orders have been taken at the higher price
 It was early in 1915 that the motor companies announced the drastic re- auctions in prices, and then proceeded to make larger profits than ever by doubling production totals. The cur rent automobile season. which runs from summer 10 summer, started with plans of increases in output practical lv as ambitious as the year before. but delays in getting materials and labor and more recently great difficulty IT obtaining freight cars has seriously interfered with schedules.

 The Club Feature
 The only club feature of the new organization is that of sociability runs. In the past, motorists of Mar- copa county have pulled off some creditaote sociablity runs to Tue son. Prescott and the Grand Canyon. In the nea: future. other such jaunts win ie offered. This activity it is thought, will work in handily with the racing work of the club, which will probably take over the work of oromotipg road and track events ir connection with the state fair. in fact. the Central Arizona Automobile Club will do all that the old Mari cCra club used to do. and in addition, will have it's legislative committee for the direction of efforts at better ing the laws that touch owners of cars and users Of the public roads.
