NEEKING other fields to conquer
after displacing Old Dobbin on
the city's pavements. motor
trucks are now chugglng toward
dominance on the rural highways.
Their latest achievement Is in giving
Americas farmers much needed
lift in transporting the bumper grain
crop Of 1920
A few years ago. only a few farmers
recognized its fun possibilities but to-
day it can be seen from one end Of
the grain belt 70 the other carrying
full loads Of golden grain onward to-
ward their destination

motor truck TO the grain grower IS

fields.
Those questionable answers which
gave percentage comparisons Of grain
receipts by horse and wagon as com
pared with motor truck grain haulage
showed that Is percent OF the grain
is being received at the elevators By
truck. in other words, the truck Is
carrying one-fourth OF the entire
grain crop OF many sections Of the
midwest. a truly remarkable fact
when q as considered that lust a few
years ago the horse and wagon had

The territory covered by the Ques-
tionnaires included Oklahoma. Arzan-
sas. Missouri Kansas, Montana, Idaho,
Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the DakOtas. Answers
were received from a representative
number Of elevators in each state.
According 10 the survey, farmers In
Nebraska, Minnesota and South Da-
Sota are employing motor truck
transportation on greater scale than
in other sections Of the grain belt In
these states, practically all elevators
are being equipped with automatic

Congressman McFadden Urges Tax of
$40 an Ounce ON All Gold Used in In
dustrial Arts - Producers to Get the
Tax to Encourage Production.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Fear that
the declining gold production in this
country would make it difficult to retain
the nation on a gold standard basis dur
ing a popular campaign for credit re-
striction, accompanied by declining
prices, was expressed in a formal state
ment issued yesterday by Chairman Nc
Fadden of the house banking committee.
Mr.. McFadden is the author of a bill
pending before congress under which a
tax of so an ounce would be levied on
gold used in the industrial arts. This
tax in turn would be paid to producers
to stimulate their efforts. In his state
ment Mr.. McFadden declared that I'M
less some relief was furnished the Amer
lean gold mining industry would be COM
PEELED to shut down soon because the Ie-
gally fixed price of S20.G7 an ounce for
gold was less than current production
costs.
Tho continued depletion of the gold
stock by excess expectation and indus
trial use, Mr.. A~cEaddcn said. will Sc
riOuSly impair the public confidence in
the nations finance and currency unless
n normal gold output is insured.
The United States mint sold for in
duStrial consumption during 1919 nearly
S2&.O0O.0OO more gold han was pro-
duced from the mines of the United
States, while this year the drain on the
monetary stock will probably be $40
100000. Since the industrial consumers
of gold are the only ones in the country
receiving raw material at the pre-war
prices. it is evident that they are being
heavy subsidized"
Failure of the United States to act,
Mr.. McFadden asserted. will permit the
British empire TO gain an unuuestioned
supremacy in the worlds gold produc-
ton. South African producers. who
mine the bulk of the British gold, he
added, nave been receiving an exchange
premium as high as 30 per cent since
July, 1919, and the French government,
in addition to imposing an exchange dis
count on industrial gold. has levied a
sumptuary tax of S3.73 an ounce for
gold used in fabrication of articles other
than money.
This year the contribution of the
United States to the gold production of
the world Mr.. McFadden said. will
probably be not more than u per cent.
about half of that which it contributed
in 1915, while the stimulating effect of
TIE British exchange premium win prob
ably increase the quota which the Brit.
