Automobiles and other motor
vehicles are now costing the PEG
pie Of the United States almost as
much every year as are the rail
roads, according to figures com
piled by the Railway Age. That
is. the people Of the country are
spending nearly as much money
annually on motor vehicles Of
various kinds as they are spend
ing for all kinds of railroad
transportation, including freight,
passenger, express and mail.
The Railway Age estimates
that after the recent increases in
rates are put into effect the am
nual cost Of railroad transporta-
ton to the public will be $6,7OO,-
100000. 1t estimates that already
the public is spending $6,000,000,-
900 annually on motor transpor-
tation for pleasure and business;
not including the cost of building
and maintaining motor highways.
About 87% Of the total expedi-
ture upon motor vehicles is for
passenger cars.
The purpose of the Railway
Age in making this compilation,
If course, was to put the recent |
ate increase in as favorable a
light as possible. Nevertheless, |,
he figures are highly interesting

Railroad Wages

It seemed hardly necessary to incorporate in the revised railroad provision against reduction of wages within the six months. It is utterly un- likely that such a reduction will be proposed by the private owners The only effect the provision might have would be a psychological against pro- rosaI for an increase wages such is now pend ing bv the maintenance of way and such as will probably be offered by employees whose wages have already increased
 The provision would be regarded having been offered in expectation probability that effort ru be made to reduce wages early date and with such an expectation the owners would naturally oppose more strepuous1y attempt to increase Z wages in the interim.

Spring Poetry Contest

Following our announcement last week that the Spring Poetry edition of the CameFs Back will appear on the first Thursday in March, this of flee has been overwhelmed with in quiries concerning the poets contest In order to clarify the atmosphere we make the following explanation
 The contest is open to residents of Arizona, of both sexes, regardless of age. race, color or creed
 Two prizes of one dollar each will be awarded, one each to the writers of the best poems by men and women
 This contest is not to be confused with the army recruiting essay con- test, or The Republican political platform contest. We regret that the U. S. Army and the republican party must resort to stealing our ideas in order to keep going.
 Many of the inquiries we have re- ceived have touched upon the subject matter that we demand be written into the poems submitted. Contestants are free to choose their own subject matter. our only suggestion is that contestants try to adapt their subjects to the spirit of the season spring poetry. You know, such things as flowers, birds baImy hreeZes, love, ambition, spring fever longing souls looking forth from the windows of young hearts, sulphur and molasses-April showers, etc. Try to choose Arizona subjects.
 The best poems will be printed, with or without the names of the writers depending upon the writers expressed wishes. The winning poems will be selected by board of competent judges This paper reserves the right to retain or return all manuscripts submitted.
 Our sole request is that prospective entrants do not call US out of our bed in the middle of the night to explain some grand inspiration that has come to them and ask our opinion as to how it would work up in a poem.

 SAFETY FIRST
 Bring in the old tin washtub
 And throw the bath tub out,
 One shouldn't take any chances
 With the plumbers walking out.
 At a meeting of the Phoenix Local Of the International Union of Yeggmen and Holdups the following resolution is reported to have been adopted by a unanimous vote:
 Resolved: That we, the members of the I. U. of Y. & H.; at a regular meeting assembled. do declare the recent action of the local plumbers union in demanding SIP per day to be an uncalled for encroachment upon the field of activity long recognized as belonging exclusively to us, and that such unca1led for meddling in our af- fairs is inimical to the best inter- ests of all concerned"
 When the boisheviki declared it un- lawful to take bath they must have done so after reading an advance copy of the demands of the local plumbers union.
 We'll, after all is said and done, if some of these higher-ups in the profi- teering game hadn't started the rough stuff the local plumbers wouldn't have much to base their claims on.
