Tells How Pneumatic Tires
/. Put Trucks Into War Service

In transportation meth DDS the
p.tiless rule of the survival of the
fittest" has always governed de-
velopment. From the camel to
the horse. steamboat and railroad.
the progression has followed this
rule. The newest agent of trans
portation, the motor truck, adds
a fifth step in the progression.
The unprecedented railroad
congestion that developed so rap
idly, after Americas entry into the
way. forced the motor truck to
enlarge its field and supplement
the railroads in their work.

500 votes. Fawcett began creep

however, and by IL o'clock there
was no doubt of his election.
According to unofficial election
returns, the total vote Tuesday
was 17,42S, an increase of 697

years.
Take Office May 7
The newly elected mayor and
city councilmen take office on the
first Tuesday Of May, according
to the city charter.
One of the most spectacular
features of the election was Fred
Shoemaker's vote. Shoemaker
was elected city controller two
years ago, shortly after he came
home to Tacoma after having held
n high position with the auditing
division of the army in the Philip
mines. He resigned his office to
become candidate for council

UNCLE SAM SHOULD.
PAY FAIR SALARIES,
SAYS CONG. EVANS.

Uncle Sam should he a model en-
ployer and pay his employees fair
salaries. consistent with their needs.
This is the view expressed today by
Congressman John NJ. Evans Of Mon
tana.
Mr. Evans is a member Of the sub
committee CT the House Appropria-
tions Committee which has jurisdic-
tion of this matter. He said he had
always felt the clerks were not being
paid sufficiently to meet the high cost
of living.
Why Shouldn't He Pay:
why shouldn't Uncle Sam be
model employer and pay his workers
salaries consistent with the needs C1
the day." asked Mr.. Evans today.
Il know Of no concern" declared
the Congressman. that treats its
workers with such indifference as
does the Government. Many clerks
have come to Washington from the
several States at salaries Of 5000 and
less with the belief that they will re-
ceive increases when they merit them,
and then after spending the best por
zion OF thir lives with the. Govern
ment. awaken to the hopelessness OF
il all when il is 100 late to enter
some other activities.
Gets High Type OF Labor.
Our Government is now employing
a high type of clerks and we should
pay them salaries consistent with
their duties and station in life, and
Immediately make such adjustments
as are necessary for the proper sub
sistence of a family. Present condi-
tions are unprecedented. and sub
stantial increase for the clerks is the
only solution.
Numbers of our faithful clerks, and
some Of the best technical men OF the
country, have recently gone into the
employ of private corporations where
the inducements are greater and
where a keener conception is had of
their merit.
Germany encourages her men to
stay with the government. and looks
after them, and l see no reason why
we should not at least pay our en-
ployes respectable salaries"

mad all over, and it didn't take many
minutes for them to decide that that
was an excellent course to pursue.
They slugged one another as hard as
they could, and in the tenth round,
when both were pretty well licked,
