DELIVERY SITUATION MUCH IMPROVED
SAY BOISE DEALERS; EVERY FIRM HAS
SOME CARS; PRICE ADVANCE PREDICTED
Serious Car Shortage Of Last Several tbs Relieved
Temporarily at Least-PWchasers Who Intended Waiting
Till Next Spring Advised That Present Condition May Not
Contine and That Prices May Raise

The car shortage which has made 1t
practically impossible for dealers to
make automobile, deliveries within any
reasonable time at all, has been re-
lieved. The relief may be but tenn
porary one, and the improved condf-
lions may be only local, or Boise may
be especially favored just at present.
But the fact remains that local DIS
tributors can nov assure purchasers
that they hav have their cars in a
short time, and in many instances at
once.
Whenever this Is the case it Is time
for the prospective purchaser to make
his decision and seize time by the
forelock, if he wants the use of his new
acquisition lin the present now. For
motor cars do not slump in price
whenever production. or distribution.
rather catches up for the time being
with demand On the other hand, at
the present high scale of prices .gen
orally and in the face of labor and
material conditions admitted to be
precarious the country over, 1T is GER
tain that advances may be expected.
INQUIRIES DAILY.
Both these points we're touched upon
by E. G. King of the King Motor com
pany, in speaking about the fall and
winter prospects of the trade He be-
lieves prospects are better for sales
In the next few weeks, at any rate
than they have been for months, be-
cause practically every local dealer
now has stock in his show rooms for
the buler to see.
For a long while this season, which
was hummer said Mr.. King, I'll
was almost impossible to get cars
and trucks We simply sold what we
could get and the public begged fol
more. II became known that deliver
les We're next to impossible and so the
impression STAYED even after the con
dition was relieved.
1T has been relieevd and nearly
every dealer has car or two he could
deliver at once. But every day we
are asked when we might hope to ge'
q shipment. So recently was there 6
local famine. and so little has beer
said about the change in this condi'
ton. that have no doubt many pro.
spective purchasers have simply decid
ed it is out of the question to get E
car before spring and so are putting
II off until that time.
MAY RAISE IS PER CENT.
But just now, it seems TO me, Il
the right time for the user to get hi
1920 car He can see the very machin,
and try 1t and take it home when HI
wants it, If he waits till spring, per
haps he can get 1t when he wants II
perhaps not And there is a proba
bility, certainty in my own mind
that prices are bound to advance l
or Is per cent before next spring. /
may be even more than that"
These suggestion have been repeat
ed and endorsed by many other Bots
distributors Of motor cars and trucks
The opinion is not unanimous, bu
nearly enough so to be stated as tn
facts. The delivery problem is not a
acute as it was two or three week
ago, and the present is a good tim
to buy.
''The situation has eased up, and W
are mighty glad of it, says c. F

FEDERAL ROAD AID TO STATES PLACES
VIRTUAL OBLIGATION UPON LATTER TO n
HELP COUNTIES IN BUILDING SYSTEM
President Jameson Of American Automobile Association De-
Unfair for Commonwealths sidestep Respon.
sbity--Inter- county Highways Lines Of Important
Travel Are First Consideration.

Washington, Oct 1s.-That Federal
Aid funds should hereafter be expend
ed only upon roads which are included
In an intercounty system of main
highways, Is becoming fixed policy
in many states, despite the. fact that
the present road act does not require
such use of the money.
Pennsylvania Virginia, Ohio. Indi-
ana, Illinois, Wyoming and Washing
ton are states which recently have
practically decided to confine their
Federal money to roads that count in
well defined state systems.
STATE SHOULD AID COUNTY.
IF the national government is to
continue the policy of appropriating
federal funds to the 4S states for high
ways improvement positive obliga-
ton should be placed upon the states
to give aid to their county units" as
serts President David Jameson Of the
American Automobile association
which organization devoted Its coun-
try-wide energies to the passage o.
the Federal Aid Road act and urged
| such legislation at time when it wa.
| far from popular.
IF it is the correct thing-and W.
believe that it is-for the wealthiel
and more settled states to give assist

Adelmann OF Adelmann Bros. For
some time 1t has been question
with many dealers how they could
stay in business. 1t doesn't help much
I osell cars that are on the other side
of the Rockies if you can't get them
here One dealer who sells our car
down on the coast absolutely could not
get single car for 80 days. We
thought we We're going to be in the
same boat. Yes, deliveries can be
made now"
NOT SATISFIED.
Grateful for the present improve
ment but still not satisfied, expresses
the attitude of the Grebe Auto COM
pany I'VE can deliver cars now, 1t
is true" sadi c. T. Grebe, but not as
many as we can sell. The situation
looks lot brighter than it did, but it
might be a good deal better before
salesman would complain" That goes,
of course for most of the local dis
tributorS.
ITS always best for purchaser to
order his car in advance" is the opin-
ion of the head of Cranston & Co.
Always best for a buyer to have
money to pay for his car in cash.
The dealer doesn't want to have stock
on hand too long, and would rather
have too few than too many cars
available for delivery. But 1t is a
fact that deliveries can be made more
promptly at present than for some
months past"
ONE REAL OPTIMisT.
w. II. Biggs of the Gordon Motor
company is not only pleased at the
way automobile can be sold and de-
livered now, but optimistic for the flu
ture. Dealers and public can share
their qualification over the present sit
uation" he says. 1T is good, and it
! is going to be better. We believe
everybody is better satisfied when
cars can be delivered from stock, and
lit looks as though that ought to be
possible now for some time 1t may be
good business to talk shortage all the
| time, but we don't see 1T that way.
II believe there are two or three makes
| of cars which really are short Just
now in the local market, but as a gem
eral thing 1t can be said that every
| firm has cars to show, to sell and to
deliver. And of course, there is no
| time like the present to get what one
wants. if he wants what he wants
when he wants It,"

BRITISH MARKET IS
SAFELY CONTROLLED
BY AMERICAN CARS
No Tariff Short of Prohibitive
Would Keep Them Out, Says
English Manufacturer More
Value for Money.

American manufacturers have seized
upon the automobile market of Great
Britain and have things pretty much
their own way, according TO a.. q.
Burford, an English manufacturer OF
commercial vehicles, who is agent for
passenger cars made in the United
States, ON his return to England from
a recent trip to America, when he WIS.,
tied the manufacturing centers OF the
country, he was credited with the fol-
lowing statement:
The present British tariff will not
keep American cars out land a tariff
of 100 per cent wouldn't. The only
thing that would save the British
manufacturer would be total prohi-
bition, and that is unthinkable. In
fact I believe the present tariff Will
not last long. The labor party here
| is demanding radical free trade and
! they are bound to govern the country
before long.
HUGE PRODUCTION WINS.
! "Of course there will always be
/ a market for the British luxury car,
| but ! am convinced America cannot
be approached on an ordinary every
day car for the plain man.
| America, by reason of her immense
home market, and therefore her ca
pacity for quantity production is able
! to turn out cars in immense quanti-
! ties at the lowest possible cost - In
fact, at so per cent of the English
cost She has cars to swarm the
market For instance, / understand
her production this year will be 2,000,-
4 900 cars.
I TT is said America will absorb al
these, but suppose American manu-
facturers set aside only five per cent
for England what happens? Eng.
lands capacity for absorption is est
mated at &C. 900 to 10000 year. Tina,
simply means the American car viii
wipe out the market, for no one car
say today that the American car II
not a better value for the money thar
the best English car,
ENGLISH TOO CONSERVATIVE.
1T is all the English manufacture
er's own fault Instead OF going TO
quantity production, quick sales, an,
small profits, he is out for the small
, est possible production and the high
, est possible profit,
5 1T Is not the workman's fault. Tn
I British workman is as good as any
, il well paid and decently treated.
1 the employers had all gone out TO
| big production at the lowest price aft
) er the armistice and concentrated o.
n export they could have held thei
own.
!. Now they have sacrificed their op
/ portunity and America has the moto
trade of the world in her hands.

that is merely a detail-then it is
time to look to other things.
People who buy motor cars should
remember for their own good, that a
dashing body style, fine upholstery
and a superlative finish are but small
compensation for piece of machin-
cry which does not perform satisfac-
torily.
The motor car investment. primar-
lily, should be an investment in ma

lected from motor car owners. The
total Of this money for the whole coun.
try now exceeds $50,000.000.
Matching federal money with coun-
ty money Is an unfair acceptance OF
the Federal Aid Road act, which ito
sponsors expected would call for state
dollars and an insistence on the part
of the secretary Of agriculture that
such must be the case. When the time
comes for renewal of the road act
and it's partnership with the several
states, the A. A. A. will contend that
additional appropriations should be
safeguarded by holding the joint
money to the main intercounty high
ways. 1t is only on such a basis that
more federal money can be justifiably
taken from the national treasury. The
help is from the nation to the states
and in turn the states should aid the
| the counties.
URGES TOWNSEND BILL.
| And beyond this partnership there
| is the now logical demand for fed
! eral system in charge of federal com
mission, the general principles OF
WHICH are embraced in the so-called
Townsend bill, introduced in the SEN
ate by the new chairman of its Post
offices and Post Roads committee. II
will be remembered that Senator
Bankhead, the preceding chairman OF
| this committee, was the prime mover
in the passage of the Federal Aid Road
act. 1t is our hope and expectation
| that congress, at its regular session
/ beginning in December next. will find
early occasion to take up this meri-
| torious measure, behind which are all
national bodies that have to do with
highways improvement"
