Arizona Plans Big
Road Making Schedule

Arizona, where the motor vehicle
has become the principle means of
transportation, is planning compre-
hensive system of truck lines which
will be welcomed as one Of the most
important steps yet taken in the de-
velopment of this wonderful state.
to Los Angeles W e. R. Carpenter,
manager of the Studebaker Corpora
tion's branch in that city, after $3.50
mile tour over Arizona recently. With
his supervisor of service Mr.. Car
penter visited every county but three
in the northeastern corner. The Stude-
baker officials drove Studebaker 60
horsepower Big Six and made remark
able tipe, despite the condition Of
some Of the roads.
"They are eager for good roatls in
Arizona" said Carpenter. "That does
not apply to any one section-all Ari-
iona wants roads. l visited nineteen
Studebaker dealers and talked with
there is a demand for an adequate,
up to date highway system.
"Arizona deserves much credit for
her progressivencss in the good roads
work. There are vast areas of sparse
ly settled districts, so that the cost
will fall upon the comparative few.
But that is not keeping them back.
They know that good roads will be a
wonderful asset for the state.
"And good roads. is not the only
absorbing topic. There is tho all-im-
portant topic Of oil. The state is 60
ing in for Oil with big boom. Some
of the smaller towns have very quickly
been converted into cities - almost
over night. 1t recalls the days of the
famous old mining booms.
"There is a steady agricultural de-
velopment also. The cotton planta-
tions are being enlarged and already
Arizona's long staple cotton has won
fame all over the country.
"The automobile figures very prom
inently in tho transportation scheme
of Arizona. The automobile stage runs
everywhere and the trucks are always
on the job. l found many Studebaker
cars in stage service and all giving
the same satisfaction that has char
acterized the new Studebaker cars
from their inception"
Mr.. Carpenter also said that he
found there was an acute shortage Of
Studebaker cars throughout the state,
just as there is in every other part
of the country.

TAYLOR Starts Truck
Agency on 9TH Avenue

= Old timers in the automotive indus
try will remember how, when the first
locomobile and other steam "horscless
carriagcs% first came into being, that
Seventh Avenue was their choice for q
home. The first man to make a break
back toward the old first location on
Seventh Avenue is X. Il. Taylor, motor
truck distributor, who has taken the
northeast conner Of Seventh Avenue
and Thirty seventh Street.
Executive offices arc on the second
floor, the main floor being reserved
for the display of the Signal motor
truck--the Eastern agency for which
has been acquired by the r. T.. Taylor
Corporation. One hundred or more
Signal trucks are in use in the Metro
poIitan district. This truck is made in
Detroit, using the Continental motor,
Thinker worm drive, Lipc trans
mission and other standard parts and
equipment. 1t is made in from one to
five ton capacities.
The II. e. Taylor Corporation has the
selling agency for this motor truck for
all OF New York state, for Connecticut,
New Jersey Pennsylvania. Maryland,
Delaware and the District of Columbia.

Consumers Pay
Bills for the
Bad Highways
Delays and Losses Caused by
Poor Roads Add to Cost of
Living; Work for Roads,
Says Ship-by-Truck Man

"Work and vote for good roads,"
urges q. P. Jones, who has charge Of
the Ship-by-Truck Bureau in this vicin-
ity. ut costs something to get them:
it will cost intellectually more to do
without them.
"Some one must pay for bad roads.
Some one is footing the bill now for
the long detours made necessary by
impossible stretches Of so-called high
way; for the extra time, gasolene, oil
and repairs involved in lengtheninr
trips; for damaged freight, rottinr
1ru1t and delayed food, and that some
body is the ultimate consumer. In
other words, you and are the suffer-
ers. Of late, however, things have
begun to move. The United States
government has set aside $574,OO0 900
to be used in the next three wears.
provided the states raise dollar TO,
dollar. And the states are certainly
dong their part.
$50 far at least $685. 900 900 has been
accounted for, and that sum is available
Tor Improvements in 1919. In the
month of April alone the Secretary of
Agriculture approved 1870 distinct good
roads projects, ffty-fvc of which we're
executed. This brought the total num-
Der of such undertakings in the United
States to LOST.
me most encouraging sign Of all
is the sprlnging up everywhere of
smaller enterprses-a few miles here.
a few miles there-webbing good roads
already in existence into a vast net
work of splendid long motor routes,
and these enterprises are innumerable.
"One of the best examples is the
stretch between Cleveland and Akron.
Over this forty-milc reach in Northern
Ohio about 1000 tons of freight pass
IN motor trucks in every twenty four
hours. In Central Kansas the traffic
IN certain locality has been so heavy
that trucks have been equipped with
fianges, which enable the vehicles to
run on railroad tracks. To make it
possible for such progress to continue
we must build, and build fast, so that
our highways may not become crowded
as our railways did.
"just now the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, which has sponsored
the cause Of better highways for years,
is performing most important service
IN connection with highway develop
ment. A bureau has been established
at every branch office of the organ
iZation, where reliable information
may be obtained as to motor
express routes leading in every direc-
ton. Truck owpers may register their
names and the capacity of their trucks
in order that shippers may know just
what facilities are to be had in every
part of the country These ship-by-
truck bureaus are growing in popular
ity every day as they grow in useful
ness. Every shipper and truck owner
is cordially invited to take advantage
Of them"

Houpt; Sees Need of I'm
mediate Orders by Buyers

1t was announced along Automobile
Row the other day that two prominent
makers Of high grade cars had ad
vanced their prices from sl,10o to $1,000
each on their touring car models.
Harry S. Houpt, president. of the Hud-
son Motor Car Company of New York.
the distributor of the Hudson Super-.
Six and Essex Car lines, in discussing
the report, said:
quite frequently within the last
lew months | have been asked hy GUS
toners viii the price of motor cars
decline" and I have told them No and
have also advised them if thew wanted
a car to place the order at once as
prices are more likely to advance than
decline.
With copper up 20 per cent, leather
up 20 cents foot and every other ma
terlal entering into the manufacture OF
cars costing more, to say nothing Of
labor, dow can the price of cars come
down? Material conditions say mo-
labor conditions say no., the demand
TOR cars says no. so it is a safe bet
that there will be a general rise in the
price of cars.
"ln the light of past experiences,
commodity prices will gradually de-
cline. The automobile industry is not
to remain quiesccnt on this account,
however; the demand for cars is too
great the buying too insistent. and
production too short of demand to per
nit any such conditions. This condi-
ton must be met by the manufacturers.
which means high pressure production
and increased manufacturing costs; at
least, until stable conditions obtain and
production reaches its normal condi-

going along, building every car they
can and leaving the price question to

CARRIER HURT WHEN
 UN|MANAGEAbLE JAR
 CRASHES INTO POLE

Tom Smith, for 13 years postal car rier and one of the best known resi- dents of the city, had a narrow escape from death yesterday afternoon al Third avenue and Washington street when the steering gear of the motor car in which he was riding collapsed shunt- ing the car into post at the corner.
 J. Zollinger, 907 West Washington street, driver of the car, escaped with minor injuries, but Smith crashed through the windshield receiving se- rious cuts about the head and neck. He was taken to the office of Dr. F.. Payne Palmer, his physician, and later to his home, 1912 West Monroe street, by Avery Thompson, city manager. He was resting comfortably when seen last night. An artery in the forehead had been severed, the doctor stated.
 Only Mir. Smiths rugged constitution saved him from serious injury, is pr. Palmers opinion Less than two weeks ago he was released from the hospital, where he has been confined for a fort night with an operation of the ear. MT. Zollinger is a close personal friend, and it has been his custom to call for him each day at ? o'clock to take him in his car to the doctors office for treatment They had just completed the daily visit yesterday afternoon and were on their way home when the accident occurred

That's why you are interested In fire
prevention and safety measures.
We handle fire in this country much
as national phything.

gunpowder and matches and the chill
dren follow colse behind with fire
crackers, bonfires, campfires, etc.
We are a fire loving people and that
Is probably why our fire losses are the
heaviest OF any nation.
That Is also why we must school
ourselves in fire prevention measures.

much a crime against the community

polde in among helpless people.

Increases Justified

The increased railroad, tele-
phone and telegraph rates ordered by
the railroad administration and by
the Postmaster-general, respectively,
have been sustained by the U. :. su-
preme sourt, which held that the war
powers conferred by congress upon the
president included sweeping control
over the railroad and wire systems
with supreme and conclusive"
authority to fix intrastate rates.
The opinion affects lltigations which
have been instituted In about 40 states,
and which involved the validity of both
rate orders
The government found, as the COM
panies had been contending, that in
creased rates were necessary to pre-
vent complete breakdown of the sys-
TENS
The action Of the government In in
creasing these ntes while under gov
ernment control proves the condition OF
utility companies that old rates carry
the present day load Of increased
wages and cost OF material.
