Why is it false economy for the

question was recently put up to Mr..

is verw interesting one, but the an

because it is imperfect, and is so ac-

clare the Experts.

Systematic organization Of motor

new routes will afford at Ieast a par
tial solution to the present nigh cost
of living problem, according to men
prominent in dustry and commerce.
Lack of adequate transportation is
one of the chief reasons offered for
tho present crisis. In many cities, gov
eminent and state officials are in
vestigating food waste which, accord
ing to the commission men, may be
traced directly to transportation de-
lays.
There are numerous instances of
commission firms having been indicted
for the wholesale disposal of food
stuffs, which, the commission men
claim, were delivered by railroads in
unsaleable condition.
HAUL BOTH WAYS.
Efficient organization of the motor
truck lines in various communities
with the idea of eliminating the pos
sibility Of idle trucks and light re-
turn loads will go far toward solving
this transportation problem and re-
ducing transportation costs, in the
opinion of many who have given this
phase of the matter careful considep
alton.
