prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
To determine the destructive effect
of heavily loaded auto trucks on high
ways and streets, and to meet the de-
mand for data on the design of road
surfaces and foundations to withstand
such heavy traffic, series of expert.
ments is being conducted by the bu-
reau Of public roads at the Arlington
experiment farm to determine the i'm
pact Of auto trucks on roads.
The most striking single develop
ment In the highway field In 1918 was
the tremendous increase In motor
truck traffic. Five years ago heavy
motor trucks were few in number and
limited practically entirely to the
paved streets Of larger cities. These
vehicles now comprise probably to
o per cent of the grand total of all
motor vehicles and are to be found
wherever traffic conditions permit
profitable use. But very few roads
were designed to carry any large vol
ume Of this class of traffic. Conse-
Quently, the cost of adequate main
tenance was Increased greatly during
the year. In many places the damage
due to the incessant pounding of these
fast and heavy vehicles was SO great
as to require complete reconstruction.

f. II. Akers, Chicago, manager of
a large automobile concern, has pre-
sented the results of some investiga-
tlons relative to motor stages and
freight lines.
While Mr.. Akers believes In COM
mon with many other automobile men
that rural express lines have future
before them, he has run across sew
eral problems which must be met and
solved before they can be complete
success. He advocates the establish
ment of a rural express commission
operating under the state government.
and regulating rates, competition. ETC..
as q protection to this very young In
dustry. Here is case which Mr..
Akers investigated:
"Not long ago one of our truck deal
ers in Washington saw q very feasible
untraversed motor express route be-
tween a small town and a fairly good
sized city. A young clerk In a clothing
store had consistently saved his mon
ey--had been reading the govern
ment's propaganda--and saw in the
rural express idea an opportunity Of
becoming his own boss-a proprietor
Of rural express line-with every
chance to expand. The young man
enlisted the help Of the truck dealer.
Together they canvassed the mer-
chants in the town and were assured
Of enough business to make the line
pay, providing a reasonable amount
Of freight could be secured in the
city to haul back.

truck and soon had thriving little

MOTOR CARS may
DOOM RAILROADS
United States Railway Admins
tration Official Foresees Day
Of Light Truck.
USEFUL FOR FARM HAULING
New Element In transportation Prob.
lem Should Be Considered While
Studying Reorganization Of
Transportation System.

O. A. Morse, assistant director Of op-
Grafton Of the United States rail-
way administration, and one Of the
best known railroad men in America,
believes that the motorcar may doom
the short-rail lines Of the country.
"The perfection of the motortruck,
together with the universal use Of the
automobile, has introduced new ele-
menr In the transportation problem
that should be taken into consideration
at this time, while studying the reor-
ganization Of the whole transportation
system" said Mr.. Morse.
where, therefore, the development
Of the country for so miles or either
side Of trunk line has required the
construction Of light branch lines. It
Is a question to be seriously consid-
cred whether this policy should be
continued or whether the products Of
the farm should not be handled by mo-
torcar to the mali, lines"
Situation Not Surprising.
The situation described by Mr..
Morse is not surprising to makers of
motorcars designed especially for
farmers needs. Purchases by farmers
Of business cars OF medium capacity
have increased enormously during the
last year. Their wide touring radius
and low haulage cost have enabled the
farmer not only to curtail freight
charges on purchases of building ma
terial, implements. seed. groceries, etc.
but to take immediate advantage of
the prices at the most advantageous
markets.
Even sheep and calves are rapidly
transported to market 80 miles dis
tant without the delay incident to the
use Of the railroads.
Horse Most lneffsclent.
During the war prominent en-
gineer made the statement that the
horse was the most inefficient machine
used In America. No one has been
quicker to recognize this than the
farmer. The short haulage radius of
the horse. its low rate Of speed, the
continually rising cost of feed and the
important fact that horse continues
to eat whether he is In the field or In
the stable made the farmer realize
that he could save money and gain

business. Then another truck dealer
got busy and persuaded another man
to enter the business. A truck dealer
in the city at the other end of the
line induced q man there to inaugu-
rate line on the same route. Shortly
there were four competitors on the
one line and when the business was
split four times there was not enough
money left to pay gasoline bills.
Commission Needed.
"Had a properly constituted COM
mission been established with the nee
essary authority to grant franchises
and limited the route to two competi-
tors the enterprise would have been
success. With the franchise there
would naturally go some undertakings
on the part Of the truck owner. For
example, he would have to give a
bond to deliver on schedule the same
as the parcel post contractor In any
city, with a penalty attached for fall
ure. Rates would be established by
this commission. A truck owner
should not be compelled to make rates
so low that he can't give good serv-
fee or yet, because Of his franchise.
