TRANSPORTATION OF
FUTURE A FACTOR
Motor Trucks Allowed to Demon
stratc Their StaunChncSs and
Hauling Power,

Motor Trucks have come to stay
In this time Of national need they
have been allowed the greatest OPP
portunity ever given any product
to demonstrate their ability AS the
stnunchest and most dependable
freight houlers. AS in all times OF
necessity Il leader shows his ability
or mechanical contrlvance proves
of untold worth. this time 1t is the
motor truck. From the western
front 70 the western hemisphere the
Miracle Of MechSnical Transpor-
tatlon' ia leaving It's imprint firmly
fixed in the public mind. Imagine
the condition Of the front, where
every activity is intensified a hun
dred fold. where seconds may mean
the lives OF hundreds. without the
motor truck. our minds naturally
focus on the great struggle In
France, our sons are there fighting
But we cannot forget for an instant
the staggering task which con-
fronts us here,
Here, 1t Is almost Ike the "House
that lack Built" The irOn-ore to
make the steel to make the cap for
the shell may come from the state of
Pennsylvania; the copper that goes
into the brass shell may be mined
in Wisconsin; the timber that goes
into the hull Of the ship that takes
the shell across may come from
Oregon or south Carolina; the food
to feed the men who fight Is made
into flour from wheat grown In IL
linois.
The iron, the steel, the brass, the
powder, the timber, must all be as
sembled and rc-a-sembled. brought
together, manufactured and finally
shipped to our boys. Is thcrc any
logical reason why we should only
consider the western front OF such
vital impott when the battle line
stretches clear across the Atlantic
Ocean and into the state OF Cali
fornia?
Must Speed Up Here.
Is It not then quite as important
to speed up here? We cannot work
by the hour in minute to minute
age. We cannot measure distance in
miles when inches count, We can
not measure dollars against results.
When We realize the handicap
under which the United states has
labored for the last two years on
account OF our failure to develop
transportation from broad stand
point including the highways. the
waterways and railrods, We realize
that the logical procedure for all in
dustry is To consider now the mat
ter OF after the war transportation
and TO build up a system for distri-
button Of products over all forms OF
carriers that may capably cope with
the unheard-of conditions We are
facing these days and provide for
even greater prosperity which is
bound to follow IN the wake og
peace.
In this new era which will sweep
the country after the war. motor
trucks will play leading rolls. Then
TO be prepared we must study both
roads and trucks. We must look
toward building up a system OF high
ways over which motor vehicle traf-
fic of light and heavy tonnage may
successfully operate 365 days of the
year. For the most successful ma
tions are those in which transport
tation links every unit in the In
dustrial, community and commercial
life. the more closely together. our
problems then arc to look ahead
while building for the immediate
present.

The New York state Association
Of Automobile Accessory Johbers
was formed recently at Rochester.
Its purpose is TO handle problems
which arise in connection with the
iobbtng trade in the state, in the
same way that the National Associa-

George Fritz, field secretary Of the
national association, assisted in
forming the New York organization,

erican life and is we'll worth study
ing. Its kilograms are printed
primarily in 1893 newspapers and
are copied or rewritten in unnum-
bered thousands of othe daily,
weekly or monty publications. 1t
is safe to say that they are read
by over three-fourths of the peo-
pie of the country, and from the
intelligence they convey practi-
cally everyone gathers his infor-
nation respecting current events.
All will agree that it is import
ant, to use no stronger word, that
the market reports be trustworthy.
What assurance is there, not only
that the reports of The Asso-
ciated Press are honest, but that
out OF the necessities of the case
they must be more certain OF
accuracy than any other market
reports: One good reason arises
out OF the magnitude OF the asso-
cations work. There are persons
who think it would be better 10
have half dozen small agencies
acting in sharp competition, but
this is a mistake. Such rivalry
would doubtless tend to the great
est celebrity in gathering the news
But such rivalry would not, from
any point of view, tend to greater
accuracy. And it is far less i'm
portant that the citizen gets
prompt news than that he gets
true news. However desirable il
may be to be first in the field il
the presentation of news, and this
feature Of the work is not to be
undervalued, still its reputation fol
truth and strict impartiality is thC
best asset Of The Associated Press
And no smaller agency can possib
| ly give as great guarantee foi
accuracy or impartiality.
Every telegram of The Associat
Press is subjected to such a degre,
of censorship as to make untruth
ful or biased reports PRACTICAL,

protection Of the interests of the
organization.
For this reason the courts have
ruled that the association has a
right to forbid its members to deal
with rival press associations in
such fashion as may permit its
news falling into the hands of non
members and thereby losing the
principal element of its value to
members of the association. For
the chief value to paper of news,
meaning thereby the first intelli-
gent account of an event, lies not
so much in the information itself
as in its prompt and accurate pre-
sentation to the reader. This ser
vice constitutes a private asset
valuable only as it furnishes the
information to the readers of a
paper before they learn of it from
any other source.
Accuracy of Its News.
By virtue of its wide member
ship embracing newspapers of all
shades OF political faith and in
dustrial and sociological thought,
The Associated Press is necessar-
ily non-csscntial and committed to
a policy Of the strictest impartia-
lity and non-partisanship. Poll
tical events are handled simply
from a news standpoint without
expressions of editorial opinion or
tingc OF partisan coloring, and that
lair and accurate account of such
happenings is given is evidenced
by the fact that The Associated
Press reports on such events are
carried by papers Of all varieties
of opinion, even the reports OF
national and other political con-
yentions being acceptable tc
papers on both sides.
1t would be we'll if The Assoc
lated Press, its purposes and prac.
ticers were better understood by
all readers. The institution bear.
