 "The full benefits from highway transportation can only be attained by the construction of good roads and then the perfectly free and open use of those roads by the people; or those
 serving the people whose money built them. Legislation, seeking to impose upon the motor truck operators eXces- sive taxes or fees. or pernicious, pro- hibitive restrictions, must not be per
 mitted.
 .'The people Of the great state of Ar izona have with their typicaIly pro- gressive spirit furnished the money and constructed miles of good roads, and the next few years will see the entire state a network of wellInade roads These will tie together several hun dred towns and trading posts. with no communication by either railroad or electric lines, which otherwise would be in a state of practical isolation.
 E"Fhe productive capacity of Arizona, while wonderfully developed, has by no means begun to be reached, but pro- duction in itself is useless without the means of transportation. The free de- velopment of the highway form of transportation will take care of this and make possible the highest degree of fruition of this tremendous produc- tivity.

A hand-picIed flying (figuratively speaking) squadron of Samson tire statesmen, explained by Sales Manager IT. E. West, left Los Angeles one day last week to work the northern coast cities in a whiriwind campaign to in Iroduce the new Samson super-si cord tire into that territory and to bring more tire dealers into the Sam son family.
 They did not fly up (the airplane comes into the plot later). They left in automobiles, each man in his own machine, the plan being to meet in a certain one of the northern cities from which the drive was to radiate.

 Transportation is the underlying basis of all progress.
 From the earliest days of history il has always been so and ever will be The test of a location, whether for a city, a mining operation, a farm, oI any form of industrial or social activ- ity, has been it's accessibility to trans portation.
 ''In former times the OK. mule or horse drawn vehicle followed the best trails. Later civilization followed the railroads. Then the development of the trolley divided to a certain extent con- sideration with the railroads. Now the pendulum is swinging back again to the trail, highway or the roads. Highway trans Dortation is to be both the guide and the salvation of the future. The time is not only coming, but is at hand. when it will be even more vital for an individual to be located upon a gooo highway than it ever was upon the line of the railroad or trolley line.
 ''The railroad and trolley lines have done a great work; their accomplish ments are written large in the history of the nations progress; they will do more, but the realization has come that they have reached their limitations.
 ''The tremendous growth of the country. it's rapidly increasing popula- tion has staggered the present method' of transportation. They have been shown entirely inadequate. They have not only admitted their incapacity to handle transportation as now demand ed, but in many instances are openly making use of more modern methods to assist in their work and seeking further aid.

 The Wickenburg route to Prescott. Jerome Ash Fork, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon is the best route Tor motorists to travel at this time. This route has been improved and been put in good condition for the entire dis tance and can be easily driven in seven to ten hours to Prescott.

PACKER SAYS big FIVE"
MADE LOWEST PROFITS
Returns Smaller Than Any of 81
Leading Corporations, Accord
inc IN Sneaker

r ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. ia
OF eighty-one leading corporations in
the United States, the five large pack,
ers received the lowest profits during
1919, Thomas E. Wilson, of Chicago,
declared here today in opening the
annual convention Of the Institute of
American Meat Packers.
These eighty-one corporations, with
an invested capital and surplus or
about Ave and two-thirds billions of
dollars, handled about nine and one
quarter billions OF dollars worth OF
business during 1919, which netted
nearly six hundred millions of dollars
in profits" Wilson said. "The COM
bined business of the Ave packers
was about three and one-half billion
dollars. with an aggregate net profit
Of a little more than thirty-four mill
lion dollars.
1.-The combined business of the
other seventy-six corporations was
about six billions, or double that of
the Ave packers, on which they re-
ceived aggregate net profits of fve
hundred and fifty million dollars, as
compared with S34, 1929, Al for the Ave
packers. None OF the Ave packers re-
ceived as much as a cent and a half
profit on each dollar of sales that
year. One packer earned only an
eighth of a cent per dollar of sales,
while the average of the Ave was less
than cent.
"The average profit OF the seventy
six concerns was 11.25 cents on e0 0ch
dollar Of sales, or about thirteen and
a half times greater than the average
of the Ave packers"
