WORK OF AUTO CLUB
TO Be CONTINUED IN
COUNTY THIS WINTER
Budget Committee Appointed to
Organize Business End OF
Organization Growth Shown

A decision to carry on the work of
the Eastern Oregon Auto Club during
the winter months when traffic is al
ways of slighter volume was reached
last night at 4 membership meeting OF
the organization. The dec sion was
made after the report of the execu-
tive secretary, +. L. Crockatt. had
been made showing the need of work
in preparation for the season OF 1929.
In order to organize the business
efforts OF The club is an effective
manner q budget committee consist
ing OF Roy W. Ritner Ed Murphy and
10. f. Steel was named. This commit
tee will work with president Dav'o
II. Nelson. the secretary and l.. l..
Rogers. chairman of the committee on
finance in determining the amount OF
money which will be distributed to va
ri ous branches of the activities.
The present membership of the club
is 162, the report OF the secretary
showed, an increase of 1873 since April
It is expected that this membership
will be doubled in 1922.
That more than one-half of the
population of the country ''is now on
wheels" was the statement of Seere-
tary Crockatt in his report. An indi-
cation of the Importance of auto traf-
fic was given when he declared that
there were 10 visitors to this years
Roundup who came by motor to one
that came by rail. Two years ago
there were more who came by railroad
than by autos. Crockatt said.
He also called attention to statistics
on money spent by tourists. In Cali
fornia last year. estimates have 1t that
tourists left $9O,OOO,0OO, and during
the same period in oregon, only 81,
600. 900 was secured by the state from
visitors motoring through. The diff
ference is largely accounted for by tn
superiority of the California highways
according to the speaker.
Members of the clup who operat
: service stations declared that tn
benefits derived by the organization
this year have made 1t necessity tina
must be maintained on an even NOR
effective scale as auto traffic increases

TWIN FALLS, Ida, Sept. 2S.--lU.
P.)-Chemists today are testifying for

ance of such consolidation to The ma
ton. made the provision in the Esch-

NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-(U' P.)--
John Wanamaker charged today that
excessive government taxation is
largely responsible for the continued
high cost OF living. He told the Unit
ed press retailers were unable to make
further reductions Of commodity
prices until the taxation burden is
lightened. Manufacturers and whole
salers must set the pace for the re-
tailers. THE government holds down
business by taxes on excessive sales
and taxes on incomes" said the veter-
an merchant. These things make
dun time for business because the
public was was waiting until the gov
ernment took off these excessive war
