Unfortunately, the State highway
commission cannot give the number
OF trucks owned in the State separate
~ from the number Of automobiles
without having an account Of clerical
work done which would be out Of
proportion to the value of the infor-
nation. 1t Is a fact, however, that
the number Of automobile trucks own
ed In the State is multiplying rapidly.
On account Of the fact that, under
an opinion from the assistant attor-
ney general, the highway commission
is engaged in apportioning its share
OF the licensed motor vehicles in
Hampton and Barnwell counties to the
sew Allendale county, accurate figures
ON the per capita ownership Of cars
in these three counties cannot be Civ
en- now. However, the per capita aver
age for all three counties reaches the
respectable figure Of 4O.3 per | 900 of
population.

as compared with the same date in
1918. Statistics compiled by the State
highway commission on the owner
snip OF automobiles, trucks and mo-
torcycles, takes from it's records Of
licensed motor vehicles, show that on
April !, 1918, there were 41,193 motor
vehicles in South carolina, while by
April l, 1919, the number had increas-
cd to 5O,504, of which exactly 10000
were automobiles or trucks and the

Richland county lead the State in

The automobile has long since pass
ed out of the luxury class and is rap
IDLY becoming to be regarded as a
necessity. However, the number Of
motor vehicles per capita is consid-
cred by conservative observers as a
good index still of any community's
buying power and prosperity.
The statistics on licensed motor We
hiclcs compiled by the State highway
commission take no account of cars
owned by the United States govern
ment as these cars are not subject to
state license. If government cars
were counted the number OF motor
vehicles in the counties containing
camps would be greatly increased
On April 1, 1919. there were 452
dealers in motor vehicles in South
Carolina. Is this connection, Richland
county led the State with 34 dealers,
GreenVille came second with 81 and
Orangeburg third with 20.
The figures on the number of second

RANSDELL WOULD
MAKE COST SCALE
introduces Bill to Create
"Permanent Cost of
Living"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-Intro-
duction Of a bill which would create
a permanent cost of living" COM
mission was being considered today
by Sen. Ransdell. Louisiana.
Ransdell would put representa-
tives of producers. manufacturers.
jobbers, retailers and consumers on
the BODY and let them govern them
selves. The body would have off,
cial status but would probably have
70 power TO enforce it's decisions
other than by creating sentiment in
favor Of them or Of publicly repri-
manding offenders.
The plan, Ransdell believes. would
relieve the government of the neces-
,sity Of enacting legislation TO regu-
late industry.
1t would represent all interests
and thus assure justice 10 each, he
said today.
The idea would be 10 bring all
clements together where they could
talk matters over" Ransdell said to-
day. If the producer. the consumer
and the man between them could
face each other. they would settle
their own problems without resort
