CORN THAT BOUGHT CAR
IN 1918 BUYS CAR TODAY

1t is far cry from the old days of
barter and trade to the present system
of commercial exchange.
Today corn, steers, and alfalfa are
transmitted into dollars, which, in
turn, are changed into automobiles,
sewing mchines and reapers. The
dollar, originally intended as the idle
wheel of trade, has now become the
governor. When the dollar shrinks in
value distributors are prone to say
that the price OF automobiles, sewing
machines and rcapers has risen. and
vice versa.
1t remained for an astute Cadillac
distributor of the middle west to
point out the fallacy of such talk.
few days ago farmer walked
into the salesroom of this distributor
who had sold him a Cadillac six years
ago. The farmer asked the price of
the current model.
"Whew!" said the farmer "You
want $500 more for this car than
paid for the one ] bought in 1918. II
will cost me carload of steers"
This lead the distributor to advance
an argument which gets back to fun
damentals.
Yes, it will cost you a carload OF
steers" he said. yet the new car is
twice as good as the one you bought
six years ago; and after all it will cost
you less than the 1918 model"
That's true, but your 1918 model
cost carload and q half of steers"
said the distributor.
We'll, look at the high price of the

FIELD OPENS FOR
TRAFFIC ENGINEERS

"Traffic engineers will be essential
members of the general staffs Of ma
tional and state highway departments
If the enormous and intensive needs
of traffic are to be met" says George
G. Diehl, chairman of the the good
roads board of the American Automo-
bile association Highway traffic is
already at a point where it overshad-
ows railroad traffic, and has given
rise, not only to the engineering prob
lens of building highways durably,
but to traffic problems which call for
wider highways on main routes and
involve consideration of such traffic
questions as CO. ordinating parallel
roads, providing detours, economically
locating roads with reference to ton
mage and passenger requirements,
routing traffic, signposting highways
and the conduct of construction and
repair work to interfere as little as
possible with the flow of traffic. The
federal highway commission, when it
Is established, can do more to bring
order out of confusion in the handling
of these great traffic problems than
any other conceivable agency.
ITO emphasize the magnitude of
traffic. we should bear in mind that
probably rs per cent of the 3,o0Ooo0
motor vehicles which will be regis
tered this year will be confined to not
over 20 per cent of the highway mile
age in addition to city streets. This
would mean about IL vehicles to the
mile or about one to every $50 feet.
To show how easily traffic may be-
come Corgested on q narrow road
take for illustration the Baltimore
Washington road and assume that
motor truck passes a given point at
speed Of 10 miles an hour at Is
second intervals. AS the truck would
travel 90 feet a second, there would
be one truck for every $50 feet, and it
would CEly take 62S trucks to thus
fill up the whole space between Ba1ti-
more and Washington. Any fairly
long train of trucks would, therefore,
congest all passenger travel to a de-
gree where the situation would be-
come acute We do not have to look
far into the future to see just such
conditions, and we must realize that
only by wide roads or parallel roads
can such situations be met Just where
widened, where the parallel roads
should he built, where the heavy types
OF construction should be located,
where detours should be provided, are
problems which call for traffic sur
yeys.
Traffic surveys would take into ac-
count the tonnage and passenger traf-
fic originating in zones along the roads
and at local and ultimate termini, the
vehicles already in use and the prob
able development, the existing high
way facilities, including parallels, and
would provide for building, mainten-
ance and management, according to a
plan in which the engineering and
traffic problems would be co-ordinat-
ed.
The American Automobile associa-
ton will urge wider roads and effec-
tive traffic engineering. and will work
tirelessly OR these t!l.Egs as essential
features of main routes in national and
state highway systems.

M ADOO ANSWERS
COAL OPERATORS
CRITICIZED FOR STATEMENT ON
COAL QUESTION, HE POINTS
TO INCOME TAXES PAID.


New York - A showdown on prof.
its made by bituminous operators is
needed for the American people to
form a just opinion on the coal sit
uation, William G. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury, declared
Mr.. McAdoo's statement was made
after he had been read an Associated
Press dispatch from Washington Civ
ing the substance of the open teie-
gram addressed to him by the opera
tors, criticizing him for Injecting"
himself into the wage controversy.
Mr.. McAdoo had not received the
telegram itself.
'sThe question is whether or not the
coal operators are making excessive
profits" said his statement. Their
income tax returns fled under oath
will give an understanding of the
truth and the facts. If they are maxi
ing excessive profits, as they were
clearly making in 1917, then any in
crease of wages that may be made to
the miners should not be passed on
to the public in the form of increas-
ing prices for bituminous coal A
showdown will enable the American
people to form a just opinion"

MINERS REFUSE
PROPOSED RAISE
GOVERNMENT FAILS IN EFFORT
TO GET MINERS TO RETURN
TO WORK.

Washington. The governments
plan to settle the coal strike has fail
ed, and an industrial fight a finish
between organized labor and the gov
eminent is in prospect.
Fuel Administrator Garfleld's pro-
posal, approved by the cabinet, to
grant the bitDninous coal miners a
IA per cent increase in wages with
out an advance in the selling price
OF coal, was accepted by the opera
tors. but rejected by the miners.
In rejecting the proposal the rep
resentatives of the mine workers,
through their spokesman, John E.
Lewis, acting president, challenged
the government TO a finish fight,
charged Doctor Garfield and the cabl-
net with "the most colossal bIunder
in the industrial history of cur ma
tion," and predicted Industrial chaos
in the country
Responsibility for the crisis now
confronting the nation" said Lewis
after all peace negotiations had been
broken of, must lie with those
statesmen who are using the power
of government to Cypress and deny
justice to the great element of its
citizenship directly concerned with
the mining industry.
Il cannot believe that the people
of our country win endorse a policy
of oppression and repression which
means continued Industrial chaos ami
intense suffering on the part of tina
mine workers and our entire citizen
ship"
Members Of the cabinet were silent
on the failure Of their proposal. but
when it was suggested that the ac
ton of the mine workers had made
necessary an alteration of govern
ment policy, it was said in authori-
tative quarters that there would be
no change.
