department Of = recent issue Of the
outlook. appeared an interesting ar
ticle concerning transportation and its
effect upon the cost of living.
The article IL written by Rolfe C..
Spinning, advertising manager of the
9ervlce Motor Truck company, Wa
bash, Ind. In II he tells Of a CONVEX
sation he had with South Dakota
farmer, whom he met on the National
Motor Truck Development tour. Tho
position the farmer took was that al
though the prices Of foodstuffs were
high, this was not so because the farm
er rot the increase, inasmuch as the
price the ultimate consumer pays de-
ponds not 30 much on the actual cost
Of: raising crops az upon the distribu-
ton Of them.
eio PROBLEM DISTRIBUTION.
MY friend was right" declares Mr..
Spinning.
"The problem we are now facing is
the one not only, of production. but Of
distribution as we'll, and distribution.
as our population tends to become
conferred in large cities, assumes an
ever increasing Importance.
Civilization 10 the result OF nothine

ufactured product, be Il an automobile
or loaf Of bread.
TAKE BREAD FOR EXAMPLE.
In the case Of the bread. for In
stance. consider how transportation az
fects the price you and ! must pay.
Transportatio nenters into considera-
ton from the time the ripened wheat
Is cut. 1t must be hauled to the
thresher, hauled to the mill, hauled to
the 5obber, hauled to the bakery,
hauled TO the grocery, hauled to your
back door and your wife tells you that
the bread Is costing 20 cents loaf and
she can't see why.
Transportation is why!
The bill we are paying for ineffi-
Client means of transportation is as
founding, and is one of the reasons we
have to pay the prices that are now
being asked and that seem so high.
Last month two men were in my
office and. the subject of trucks being

you see, the short haul, as II is
termed. constitutes the great bulk of
all of the hauling done in the country.
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1920-01-11

for even where goods are transported
over long distances by railroad they
must be handled At both ends, which
means at least two short hauls for
every long haul in the big majority Of
cases-usually more.
And 1t II a recognised fact that the
short haul IL the place where trans-
portation bills in large amounts are
added to the price We pay for every.
thing consumed.
THE weak link in our transportation
facilities il the inefficient methods OF
delivering freight to and carrying Il
from our terminals. It costs more to
deliver the average shipment Of goods
in New York than 1t does TO get It
there.
THE motor truck 10 the key to the
situation. Its efficiency has been DEM
onstrated. not only in isolated cases,
but time and time again."
Mr.. Spinning then goes on to give
definite examples of motor truck ef-
ficiency, chiefly showing the results
of tests made by the government.

MAKER SAYS THAT
HIGH GRADE TRUCKS
SOON Be OVERsOLD
Freight Congestion Surpasses
That Of 1017-Returning of
Railroads Means Certain In
crease in Freight Rates.

Congestion of freight transportation
facilities has already assumed very
serious aspect and this winter is ex-
periencing difficulties SURPRISING those
of the winter of 1917. according to r.
e. Fulton. vice president of the Inter-
national Motor company. Mr.. Fulton
warns shippers to prepare to meet the
| emergency.
During the congestion of 1917 the
motor trucks in use hauled 1.200,0OO,0O0
tons of goods" he says, land this year
| with production greatly increased and
| age. the demands upon the trucks will
be many times greater.
1.-THE inability Of shippers Of goods
to get satisfactory service from the
railroads has already caused many OF
them to use motor trucks, and IL the
present demand keeps up, the produce
ton of high grade trucks to meet the
demand will be impossible. 1t is sig
nificant to note that the sales Of Mack
trucks last month increased IS per cent
over the month previous, and that this
heavy demand II increasing steadily.
HIGHER FREIGHT RATES
another point that shippers should
not overlook Is that the railroads are
pretty sure to be turned over by the
government to their owners early in
the year, and that increased freight
| rates, as a result Of this are inevitable.
The Esch railroad bill, which aims to
give the railroads a helping hand dur
ing the period Of transition. has provis-
ions which stipulate that the railroads
shall Immediately apply for increased
rates.
This certainty Of increased railroad
rates as well as the inadequacy OF the
railroads to give the kind of service
that IL being demanded, points to an
oversold condition in the high grade
truck market before very long. BUSH
ness men In order to be sure their
freight will be handled should place
their orders for sufficient motor trans.
portation now, while deliveries are OBJ
tainable.
''The increased demand for trucks
from foreign countries will also have
q big influence on conditions. Export
sales OF Mack trucks last month were
the biggest yet many going to Peru,
Cuba, Norway. Argentina, Holland and
Mexico"
