MOTORS AND GOOD ROADS.

| The Guaranty Trust company, of New York
ICity devotes an entire bulletin to the discussion
| of development of markets for our motor pro-
duction This is warranted by the fact that the
United States is the worlds greatest producer
of motor vehicles. In 1914 one American manu-
featuring corporation was producing four times
as many cars as all the other manufacturers of
motors in the world combined In 1917 we pro-
duced one billion, nine hundred thousand motor
vehicles Yet before the war we were not a
great exporter of this class of product: our own
markets absorbed the greater part of our out
put. Europe produced mainly higher priced
ears and exported as many as Were not bought
in home markets. It would seem that we enter
the race for world markets with a decided adj
vantage; but there is a factor TO be considered.
The European producers during the war have
turned from production of high priced cars to
quantity production of less expensive models;
this was done because of war needs, but 1T has
educated European producers thoroughly. Ii
is reasonable to suppose that we shall find
much keener competition In production of the
types we have produced In such great quantity
than before the war. Moreover. Europe has
some prestige because of the high grade of her
former exports and this may help Great Britain,
France Italy and Belgium in building trade for
lower priced TeElcleS- ltne Tencn HlanIIacluI-
Ter Of repute declares he Will be turning out one
hundred cars day before the first of May, and
that he expects to find markets for them IN
South America and South Africa.
But there Is this to be counted on as of pri-
mary Importance: Good markets for motor We
hicles are found where good roads are found.
And in the main the producers of motors are OF
the nations where good roads are found There
fore the opening of new markets by ourselves
and by European producers will be conditioned
closely on the road building of nations. In the
meantime motor markets viii be found where
they heretofore existed and this gives Us an adj
vantage. Our home market is far and away the
best world market for motors and we can take
care of large part OF our great output at home
during the period of road development. France
and Great Britain, turning their immense shell
plants into motor manufactures, will not find
it profitable to turn out larger output than
they can market, and their home markets will
not help as ours viii us. 1t is to the road con-
struction of the world that the motor manufac
turers must look for guidance in planning mar
ket campaigns, and the war has walked the
world TO attention TO the value of road con-
struction.

care how many animals were destroyed
by predatory beasts, because meat was
plentiful. But since meat has become
all the way from $40 to SIS. instead OF
from S1.50 to $3.50, we urge that the
department give us experts in cooper
alton with our own activities for the
determination of these pests"
1t Is true that predatory wild ami
mails, like the mountain lion and wolf,
are expensive. The biological survey
is emphatic In its statement that the
average gray wolf kills $1,000 worth
of live stock year, and mountain
lion $500 worth. The coyote, which Is
the smaller prairie wolf, rivals his big
cousin In destruction. The biological
survey claims TO have reduced the wolf
population of New Mexico by 2G0 In
divlduals in three years.
Incidentally, naturalists and sports
men will be interested In the state
ment by the biological survey that In
the Pecos mountain region bears have
been very destructive. The survey
uses these words:
During the recent grazing season
bears killed approximately 125 head of
valuable cattle in the Pecos region.
Similar damage In the Black range and
In the Mogollon mountain makes II evil
dent that total of at least 250 head
of cattle as well as large number of
sheep were killed by bears, These facts
are worthy of consideration, In view
Of the general and concerted efforts
now under way on the part of sports
men to enact legislation that will pre-
vent trapping of bears or hunting them
with the aid Of dogs"
Naturalists and big game hunters
hold that bears seldom kill big game
or stock, and that when individual
bears get the stock killing habit :. is
an acquired taste. Big-game hunters
holding these views have been active
In promoting state legislation for the
protection of grizzly and black bears,
which otherwise are doomed to speedy
determination except in the national
parks, which are wild life sanctuarles.
TT, warfare against prairie dogs,
chlpmunks and other rodents Is less
exciting, but there Is much more
money at stake. In New Mexico in
| four summer months cooperative
work In exterminating prairie dogs
was conducted over 652. 900 acres Of In
tested land. 3.403 landowners assisting
In the work. An average Of over 90
per cent Of the prairie dogs was killed.
On the untreated land the total
loss of the crop, or Mt least 80
per cent loss, often occurred rs re-
suit of pralrle-dog infestatlon. 1t Is
estimated that the crop saving effected
BY prairie-dog control amounts to APP
proximately 100000.
Multiply this by a dozen or more
the number of states doing the same
kind of work--and the size OF the job
Is apparent.
A new angle to the situation Is the
recent public announcement that psni-
rie dogs are good eating and that yari-
GUS towns In the Infested areas are go
ing to put them on the bill of fare.

ONE OFZzZLLL00s

exterminating rodents and predatory
wild animals, and in every case the
results are much more satisfactory and
less expensive than under the bounty
system. / have before me now a par
tial report made by the men In charge
of this work In the southwestern part
Of the country through the council OF
defense of the state Of New Mexico.
"In the spring of 1918 the governor
of the state authorized the use OF $25,-
600 from the fund known In our state
MS the war fund, and under an agree
ment covering the plan for the cooper
alive work as executed. Under this
agreement $4,000 of this amount, In
conjunction with an equal amount by
the department of agriculture, was set
aside and applied In reducing losses In
live stock due to predatory wild anil
mails, an increased force Of hunters
was placed in the field. trapping was
resorted to by this experiment; the
results have been very satisfactory.
Estate hunters have total of 1,972
days, at cost of $5.741.44. They have
taken 642 coyotes. 124 bob cats, IA
gray wolves, 5 predatory bears, includ-
ing 8 grizzlies. The average cost of
animals in June was $S8.S7; In July,
1858; August. $593. The government
operations In the state during the same
periods cost $9,225.70, and resulted In
the killing Of AIT coyotes, II bob cats.
Ill gray wolves, 10 mountain lions, 2
bears. No reasonable estimate of dam
age inflicted by predatory animals that
has been advanced can show anything
other than the return on this invest
ment of very high rate of interest.
The estimate generally accepted-and
LII Is conservative, indeed. In view OF
the present high value Of live stock
Is that each gray wolf destroys an
nually 81, 900 worth Of live stock; each
mountain. lion. $500; each coyote and
bob cat, $50 worth; predatory bears
may be rated In the same class with
wolves. On this basis the saving rep
resented In this cooperative work Is
nearly nine times the amount OF ex-
penditure. Thus you will observe that
the estimated saving to the people OF
the nation. you might state, is s131. 800,
at cost of about $4,000"
While the facts presented by the
New Mexican representative are not
clearly arranged. they afford a glimpse
of the situation that prevails pretty

In wages. The memorandum asserted
that the spirit of unrest existing

earners, was due ''mainly to the con-

interests who have secured control Of

is but temporary relief so long as
prices continue to soar.

President Wilson postponed the
start of his speaking tour of the coun-
try probably until August Is, and con-
tinued his efforts In Washington In
behalf of the peace treaty and league
covenant He called In more senator's
to conference, both Democrats and Re
publlcans, and appealed for unquall-
fed ratification of the treaty especial
ly on the ground that reservations or
amendments would necessitate its re-
submission to Germany, which he said
would be humillating to us. To Sen
ator Fernald of Maine Mr.. Wilson said
he had assumed there were at least
sixty senator's who would take world
view OF the situation.
"There are sixty men In the United
States senate who take a world view
OF the situation" Senator Fernald re-
piled. Fortunately, they include In
their view the best interests If the
United States of America"
Other senator's told the president
that while they recognized the fact
that reservations would cause delay,
they considered the protection OF
American interests of greater impor-
lance than speedy ratification. There
is no doubt that both sides to the con-
troversy would be glad to find some
dignlfied way out of 1t, but neither
seems to have made any converts. The

ed in the way of formal declaration

Just before the engineers visited the
White House Democratic National
Chairman Cummings reported to the
president on his political inspection
trip over the country, telling Mr.. VIII
son of the growing Importance Of ac-
ton to reduce the cost Of living. What
form that action will take, when 1t
comes, cannot be conjectured even
from the fact that official investiga-
lions Of various kinds Of alleged prof.
teering are under way or proposed.
The immediate result Of all this was
conference Of cabinet members and
heads Of bureaus called by Attorney
General Palmer for the purpose OF
discussing the situation and possible
remedies. The government will seek
to stop and punish profiteering. to de-
termIne the contributing causes for
high prices and to devise remedies for
immediate relief for the public.
