RODE IN AUTOS IN 1920

Automobile passenger travel neared
the 5.ooo,ooo,ooo mark in 1920. Fully
4.s32. 000. 900 persons were carried by mo-
tor car during this period, as compared
with the 1924 .222.sss revenue passen-
gers Of the railroads.
Motor trucks handed 1000, ,000, 900 tons
Of freight, or nearly half the amount
carried by rail lines, which totaled
2,504, ,000. 900 tons.
The growth Of the automobile busi-
ness has not been competitive with the
railroads, however. Much of 1t is di-
rectly tributary, as in bringing both
Passengers and freight from farm to
train, and in suburban service to cities.
Another large field for highway trans
port. when not directly tributary to rail-
road. is the travel from point to point
over short-haul distances where there
is no other means Of communication.
The motor car passenger figures in
creased 400. 200. 900 during 1920. due to
the gain in motor vehicle registration.
At the same time the railroads showed
q gain Of 10000. 900 revenue passengers

based on the United States bureau of
public roads registration of approx
mately S,200, 900 passenger cars (deduc-

A motor cycle fire engine" recently
received try-out by the fire depart
ment in a large middle western city

and equipment of eight extinguishers

With the extinguishers the two men
put out the fire, which, had it been
permitted to burn the few minutes
before the apparatus arrived, might
have caused considerable damage.
Another feature Of the new "engine'

LOWER GASOLINE PRICE
FORESEEN IN DROP IN OIL
Transportation Costs Reduced in
Midwest as Fuel Becomes
Cheaper, Is Report.

Lower costs of transportation and
business. are seen by motorists in the
recent decline of Mid-continent from
s1.75 to $3.50 per barrel. according
to the Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, New York.
The drop in crude means falling
gasoline prices. Standard Oil of In
per gallon in the middle west by 3
cents. and the tendency is toward
general lower levels in all sections.
In some states it is now at % cents a
gallon.
AS 100000 of the 100000 motor
vehicles in the country are owned by
farmers and as so per cent of automo-
bile mileage is for business purposes,
the fuel prices have direct bearing
on the cost of doing business. The
leadership of the oil companies in re-
ducing prices is being hailed in motor
circles as basic move in reconstruct
ton. which will permit lowered costs
of doing business.
1t is believed that lowered prices of
steel. together with the downward
movement in fuel. are leading to a
sterilization of industry which will
permit resumption Of trade on a
peace-time basis.
No increase Of prices in the fuel
field is likely. The high levels of early
1920 were based on a demand tenn
porarily in excess of supply. At pres
ent, however, many refineries are
closing down for lack of business.
Gasoline production for 1921 has been
far ahead of 1920, being 11,317.690 gal
Ions in January as compared with
S.696,5SS gallons in the preceding year,
and 10,079.609 in February as COM
pared with 9,726,9s5 gallons in the

refining capacity of the United States
is now 1.sss.S00 gallons. whereas it

URGES Commission
. ON US. HIGHWAYS
George M. Graham Says
Need for Economy Demands
Formation of Policy.

National development and the need
for economy demand the formation OF
a highway policy under a federal
commissio on" said George M. Graham
member of the highways committee
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce, speaking before the Sem
ate committee on post offices and post
roads recently.
''The economio barrier now con-
fronting us is the lack of adequate
highways. There is urgent need to
build these highways as quickly as
possib BILE and with the maximum OF
economy.
Highways should be planned with
consideration of their relationship to
railway and waterway communlca-
agriculture, commerce, the military
and the social needs OF the nation.
The roads program is national IN
scope and is related to all depart
ments of the government

will be possible to pay higher salari es
than can now be done under the bu-
reau system. Millions of dollars are
to be expended on roads, and 1t is the
highest economy to secure the ablest
brains in the country for the ad-
minStration of these funds.
Selection of roads of primary in
terstate importance and concentration

step needed. States should be required
to meet the federal aid as states
rather than passing their responsible
ties along to counties, as many states
do now. In this way it will be possible
to have state policies correlated with
the national program. The counties
will benefit from the general inter-
state highway system, and the funds
which the counties formerly used in
conjunction with federal aid can be
devoted to more specifically local
purposes.
Maintenance Should Be Required.
Maintenance should be provided for
by the states in all cases" Mr.. Graham
emphasized. Gin order that as the pub
lie highways are developed they may
be depended upon as permanent ave-
nues Of communication, in order that
the original public investment be pro-
tected.
States which have been sufficiently
progressive to build their share of
federal aid are now in a position to
develop secondary systems, and are
therefore that much ahead in eco
nomic development.
"A wise highway policy will con-
struct and maintain roads through
government forest reservations from
federal funds, without calling upon
the treasures in the states wherein
these are located. Wherever a state
contains large areas of federal lands
due modification should be made of
the present fifty-fifty expenditure of
federal and state funds"

The truck owner need not go far

Each type of motor truck tire is

which type is the one suited to a

Solid tires are for general use on

statement. "Such use is confined
generally to large centers of popu-

solid truck tires. and the classes Of
work in which such trucks can be
most economically used may be list
ed in general somewhat as follows:
General manufacturing, general con-

for wholesale grocers, terminal
freight hauling, transfer work in
cities and oil and gasoline deliveries

of three kinds-regular, high size and
large single. Each. is designed ac-

Regular Tire on Standard Lines.
'The regular tire is the conven-

standard conventional lines. Solid
truck tires of this type are most
economical and satisfactory for all
ordinary trucking purposes where
medium sized trucks are used and
are fairly closely adhered to-. The
field for the regular tire in the in
dustries listed above is. with GER

wheels of trucks of one-half-

trucks above the Observation-Disclosures
