POOR HIGHWAYS
Republican Senatorial Candi-
date In Nd. Calls II Argument
Auainst Reciprocal Fees.

BALfIMoRE. July 3--John N.
Mackall. chairman OF the State Roads
Association. commenting upon the let.
ter addressed 10 o. L. Weller. former
chairman OF the commission. TO the
Commissioners OF the District OF Co
lpmbia, in which he urged repair TO
soads and streets in the District con
pscting with Maryland roads. declared
that II was an excellent argument
against reciprocity in the handling OF
automobile license fees.
Just before Congress adjourned a
resolution was introduced. but pigeon
holed, which, II passed. would have
denied Federal aid to highway build
ing to any State which refused cour-
tssies TO out State automobilists.
This caused a protest from a number
OF Baltimore automobilists and good
roads enthusiasts, including Mr..
Mackall. who pointed out that wash
ington people get almost as much
benefit out OF Maryland roads as
MArylanders.
Weller's appeal for better roads
and streets in the District" said Mr..
Mackall, "is one OF the best srgu-
ments that we can use against rcci-
procity. The District residents kick
against paying automobile license
fees to Maryland for using our 1000
miles OF good roads, while they appar-
emily do not take good care OF their
own few miles OF roads"
Mr.. Weller wrote 10 the District
Commissioners the other day regard
ing the condition of the District roads
and streets, particularly to the con
meeting link with the Baltimore
Washington boulevard, Mr. Weller
told the Commissioners that he would
cooperate with them in getting the
necessary funds from Congress in
case he is elected to the United States
Senate next fall

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
, AS HE TELLS OF BOLT

DELAIR, N. j.. July 3.--Jerome F..
Sullivan. sixty-hve years old, a resi-
dent Of Delair. was killed by lightning
at his home last night under circum-
stances which makes the story read
like a tale from a folklore volume.
About $50 the family group, in
Guiding two of Mr.. Sullivans grand
children, had finished their dinner
and were gathered about a table in
the living room. A terrific storm came
up, one of the severest of the season.
Mr.. Sullivan rose from his seat at the
table and recited in detail how one of
his cousins had been killed by light
ming which came down rainspout
three years ago. Gradually the flashes
and the roll of the thunder began to
abate and Mr.. Sullivan finally re-
marked: Il guess it's all over now:
I'll sit down"
He had been sitting only a moment
when there was a deafening report,
which every one of the surviv ors
thought was an explosion in the cell
lar. When they recovered from the
shock Mr.. Sullivan wes sitting slump
ed down in his chair. his hand pressed
over his heart. They tried to resus-
citate him, but DEATH had been in

build adequate highways IS an invest ment in lower commodity prices. on the other hand. any unjustified restric- ton or Encouragement to economical hauling such as that offered by larger capacity trucks, is just as poor busi- ness as to handicap railroad freight transportation And unfortunately, most of the legislative effort along this line has been unjustified since it has been based on the mere assumption that large capacity trucks wear out the roads simply because they are heavier.
 Legislators fail to realize that the use of trucks of half the capacity for the same loads means two trucks in- stead of one and therefore more trucks on the highway as we'll as far greater costs for the transportation of goods And even then road wear would be in 1 creased because the use of lighter
 trucks means higher speed and the de- gree of road wear is proportionate to
 the rate of speed.
 More important still is the fact that the weight of vehicle in proportion to
 carrying capacity decreases as the size | of the truck increases. Therefore when | several smaller trucks are used instead
 of a single large truck, the roads are
 forced to hold far greater amount of | useless vehicle weight which adds to
 road destruction.
 Transportation is overexpensive only
 when it is wasteful. Whether the mode | of transportation is via railroad ol
 motor truck, it is false economy to base development upon common assumption

JUMP IN RAIL RATE TENDS ID REDUCE
 COSTS IF LIVING

Uppermost in the minds of shippers and receivers of goods and the con- suming public as we'll is the subject of the recent raise in railroad freight rates and its effect upon prices. On first thought it would appear that any increase in transportation rates would mean a corresponding increase in the cost to the consumer of the materials transported. However, in a recent address to members of his organization, R. E. Fulton. vice presi- dent of the International Motor com pany, took exception to this popular idea and showed why the increase should in reality, reduce the cost of living.
 Expensive transportation is far cheaper than on transportation" said MT. Fulton. "To a very large extent, the present high cost of living is the result of attempting to carry on trans portation at rates which did not allow the railroads sufficient revenue to maintain adequate service. Many of the apparent shortages which have

The truck. shown above is a More land one-ton speed wagon. which, ac- cording to the R. D. Roper company, has set a new standard for speed and work capacity for light type trucks.
 This particular truck is now in Je- rome. handling the business of the Jones Bottling works.
 The roads in and about Jerome are a severe test on any truck as severe as can be found anywhere in the state, as the city is built on the side of a mountain, and trucks from Clarkdale and the Verde valley have a five-mile hill to climb to get into the city.
 Level roads are unknown in this dis trict and as consequence, cars and trucks are put to the severest tests as to cooling and radiation, clutch mech anism. tire wear, rear axle strains, etc.
 In speaking of the splnedid results obtainer from the Moreland under the conditions just described, Charles Miller of the R. D. Roper cuupany says: 'Mr. Jones is very highly pleased with the performance of the truck Tn placing his order for a Moreland, through Harry Amster, the Moreland dealer of Jerome, Mir. Jones stated that he was highly influenced by the rec ords made by the four Morelands in operation at Jerome by the Jerome Transfer company. These four trucks are almost four years of age, and so far have outlived the other trucks in the vicinity. The trucks of this con- cern are on the go all the time, and their usage is practically continuous"
 Miller further states that the More land speed wagon is unique in that ii is practically tho same design and con struction as the heavier Morelands differing only in size.
 A four speed transmission, suspend ed amidships, will ball type radius rods supporting the worm driven rear con- struction. is a feature of this truck Disteel wheels with s5x5 cord tires are used. The truck is equipped with the Moreland gasifier to handle low and poor grades of fuel. Other specified tions are magneto ignition. impulse starter, Alemite fabrication, segment type radiator and Timken bearings and axles.

MoToR TRUCK NEWS

When a two-ton motor truck with a 5.000-pound load can fall through a bridge and light nine feet below with out injuring the truck in any particu lar, it speaks pretty well for the con- struction and design of the truck.
 This happened to an Indiana truck the other day in Illinois which, after ploughing through roads hub deep with black gumbo, ran with its load of 5000 pounds upon a weak bridge, and crashed through the structure. The truck landed nine feet below. but was absolutely uninjured. The truck was lacked up and proceeded with it's load to it's destination.
 F. A. Farley of Cottonwood. recently bought a Master truck from Coates and Gorby, local distributors of that truck.
 Farley is using the truck in general hauling work around Jerome, Clark dale, Cottonwood. The truck is equipped with the Walker drive, which Is a special construction used by the Master company, giving a double gear pull on the internal gear of the axle. Farley states that he is getting won derful results on hin work. especially.
 c. A. Roberts, manager of O. S. Stapley company at Chandler, reports the sale of two International trucks the past week, one being a ton and hals Model C., going to the Rogers Transfer company, and the other being a two ton job for J. NJ. Herman.
 The Rogers truck will work between Chandler and Phoenix while the two- ton truck is being shipped to South America for use in the bee industry of which Herman is king" in that part of the world.
 Motor trucks are registered the same as passenger cars in twelve states oi the Union.

forced up prices have been the result of inability to move goods to markets.
 Likewise, interest on capital in- volved in commodities tied up by lack of transportation facilities, must be in cluded in the final price of all articles delayed in transit. The waste of per ishable commodities is another i'm portant addition-a recent congress sional investigation proved that fully 50 per cent of the perishable food pro ducts of America are wasted through insufficient methods of transportation
 If giving the railroads adequate compensation for their service will aid to establish an uninterrupted flow of merchandise from the producer to the consumer, then a general lowering of prices is bound to result, and the cost of maintaining such steady flow will be nothing as compared to the price the county has already paid for in adequate transportation.
 Tt is the same way with motor truck transportation. Every dollar spent to
