SIX TONS Of STEEL IS
SAVED BY EACH TRUCK
r. ]. Murphy Makes Interesting
Comparisons in Short Haul
Fright Service.

Every truck with q capacity OF
two tons, put into short-hanl freight
service, saves sdx tons or more OF
steel for munitien work." declared
r. J. Murphy, general manager Of the
District Oakland Company, local dis
tributers for the cydesdale truck.
'"The average freight car mileage !"
says Mr.. Murphy, 'tis only twenty
miles per day carrying an average
load Of forty tons.
:, Therefore, the daily average per
car is 800 ton miles. Against this. q
two-ton truck operated efficiently will
average 200 ton miles.
1T follows. from this, that four two
ton trucks will have . daily carrying
capacity Of one freight car.
But it takes only q ton and half Of
steel to build the truck ana twenty
five tons to build a freight car.
Therefore, the four two-ton trucks
will save twenty tons Of steel. This
equals five tons to each truck.
'But we must also take into consid-
Grafton the motive power used to pull
the freight car.
tTt takes a. hundred and fifty tons Of
steel to build a locomotive and its
tender
Averaging the long trains in level
country, and the short trains in the
hilly country, you must allow at least
one locomotive and tender for every
thirty freight. cars hauled.
Evening star., 1918-11-24
Saving Of Steel Made.

This adds another ton and a quarter
saving in steel for each truck, thus
proving that each two-ton truck put
into service will actually save more
than six tons of steel.
Figure for yourself what q tremen-
dous saving in steel this would
amount to If 100000 trucks were put
into service. It would run way over
the million-ton mark.
"And 200, 900 trucks is merely drop
in the bucket even when measured
by passenger car production stan
dards."

as an issue in American politics is
therefore gone forever. We are not
only willing to fight when the occa-
sion requires, but we know how to
get ready for it in an incredibly short
time. '@
So far as the Western hemisphere
is concerned, our position could not
be improved. from any standpoint
The greatest obstacle heretofore to
American solidarity of thought and
purpose has been the unwillingness
of Latin America to believe that the
Monroe Doctrine stood for absolute
disinterestedness on our part. They
thought we had imperialistic designs
and that in time, as we grew in
strength, there would be disposition
on our part to reach out after their !
territory.
Germany, we now know, encour-
aged this feeling of distrust and care
fully kept it alive. But otter we have
shown on world scale a purpose so
unselfish that it has astonished our
friends and invited the confidence of
our enemies, Latin America will not
care to continue the policy of aloof-
ness and ill-will that for so many
years has stood in the way of the rap
prochement we have desired. Mexico
in particular should cease to be a
troublesome neighbor.
Now that we have shown our
strength and gained the moral leader
ship of the world, there will, it is pre-
dicted, be developed national self
respect wholly free from chauvinism
or jingoism. This Reaction of the
war upon our own people should
greatly improve the quality Of our
politics.
Another reaction will, it is believed,
temper the feeling of labor that Amer
lea paid more attention to the classes
than to the masses. The income tax,
the war revenue excess profits tax, the
inheritance tax, and the just treat
ment of labor during our participa-
ton in the war, should do for chau-
vinism in labor circles what it is to
do for it in politics. Capital. with its
numerous captains of industry, has
been shown to be the servant of the
republic, and entitled to no more con-
sideration than any of it's other serv-
ants.
The foregoing are some of the
gains with respect to which there will
be no dispute.
1t is also to be kept in mind that
the war will do much to hasten the
coming of public ownership and oper-,
alton of the public utilities which by
their nature are monopolies. There
will be wide divergence of view re-
garding the wisdom of that policy,
but that the trend is in that direction
cannot be successfully denied. 1t may
be that the issue will be fought out
in a great political campaign. but
that public ownership and operation
are coming is the belief not only of
those who favor. but also of those
who oppose them.
