GOVERNOR DAVIS
FAVORS TEST TOUR
Gives Statement Con
corning Proposed
Truck Trial
Statement by Governor Davis

Statement by Governor Davis
1t is with the deepest interest that
| hear of the move to arouse public
understanding to an appreciation OF
the development of shipping by
motor truck, which will be done thru
week devoted to the subject be-
ginning May II.
When we become interested in
matters of transportation, whether
the developing of railroads, of water
ways, or wagon and truck roads and
their improvement, we are beginning
to solve one of the greatest problems
of the age. Public attention should
be awakened at all times towards
a fair and hearty interest in this de-
velopment. There are countless
business possibilities in Idaho and
in the intermountain states which
wait only for the development of
transportation to be met.
From an economic standpoint, the
building and selling of more trucks
has great significance because of
the cheapness of transportation when
trucks are used on the farm and be-
cause of the speed of delivery of
farm products. 1t means an increase
in production in large amounts. 1t
makes easier the life of the agri-
culturists, and the production of
trucks in the great manufacturing
centers brings the certain economi-
cal result that follows production.
According to the figures of the
of agriculture, there are
now but $4,000 trucks on the farms
of the United States, and there are
seven million farms, which, in view
of the extreme advantage to be
gained by those who own trucks,
makes this movement particularly of
value at this time.
All the intermountain states have
spelendid road programs, which will
it into the campaign for truck sales
;plendidly. In Idaho our facilities
ire not developed nearly as much
Is they should be and the truck is
IN absolute necessity to the rural
'esidents in handling their produce.
Freight carried by truck has reached
,nly small volume now as COM
pared to the other transportation !
agencies, but it will be largely en-
lanced in the future with no effect |
IN the other transportation means
,ther than to spur to better service
md enlarged activity.

Highway Commences
Continued from page one

tory, and that work will be done fol-
lowing the Fort Hall section. It has
taken over year for the commits
sioners to make the arrangements to
get the state and federal aid, and it
has required good many trips and
a good many conferences and there
were many difficult and discourag-
ing things to cope with. The DELAY
in starting the work on the Fort Hall
road has made it necessary to leave
the public to travel road that was
much broken, but with the prospects
OF getting work started on 1t at al
most any time for many months, and
whit each party to the responsibility
seeking to protect it's own rights. the
road repairs were delayed and neg
lected.
The Fort Hall road is link in a
national highway and failure to put
1t in condition now when tourists
have ceased to go to Europe and are
taking to Western America, would
be to divert the rich tourist trade
thru other localities and lose It to
snake river valley. 1t Is desirable
from commercial as we'll as an adj
vertising standpoint, to have as
much of this trade brought thru the
valley as possible. Tourists are
good spenders, and they leave some
money in the towns where they re-
main during their stops. They rec
ognize a good country when they
see 1t, and many are on the look
out for locations for themselves or
for friends who want to locate. But
aside from the tourist travel, our
own local people travel these roads
in constant stream, and roads must
be made good and kept in repair for
them The travel of local people up
and down the valley is increasing
very rapidly, and the tourist travel
is likely to be SO heavy that any Sec
tion Of roads that is neglected will
simply be pulverized and made i'm
passable.

COMBAT HIGH
LIVING COSTS
Attacks on Palmer Stir
Department to
Action

| WASHINGTON series OF
attacks in congress on Attorney Gen.
eral Palmers' campaign against prof
iteers, eliminating in Senator Cap
per's charges Saturday that the prof
iteers were operating throughout the
country with impunity. have stirred
the department of justice to unpre-
cedented action in combating living
costs.
Howard e. Figg, in direct charge
Of the departments profiteering
campaign, announced Sunday that
executives of all the sugar refining
companies would meet with him
Monday to discuss a possible reduc-
ton in prices to the consumer.
Sugar prices, which are the high
est ever known at a time when i'm
ports to the United States have es-
tablished worlds record for vol
ume, have been cited by members of
both the senate and house as show
ing that the attorney generals cam
pa1gn against prOflteerlng has been
a complete failure.
In his indictment of the depart
ment of justice for it's failure to
bring down living costs, Senator Cap
per said that increased sugar prices
were "the most brazen challenge we
have had in this saturnalia of
greed"
Since the attorney general took
over the regulation of prices for
foodstuffs from the food admins
tration last October the price of sug-
ar to the consumer has increased
from II cents pound to IS and
20 cents a pound. Critics of Mr..
Palmer state that he is directly re-
sponsible for this great rise in prices
by permitting Louisiana sugar deal
ers tot sell at II cents pound when
Cuban and American beet sugar was
retailing at II cents.
