PUBLIC SERVICE
THE HIGHEST SERVICE.

Washington, d. C. - Lauding the
public spirit which calls able men to
the public service, the Republican
Publicity Association, through It's
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
takes exception to the advice which U.
s. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, re-
Gently gave to the students Of George
town University in Washington. In his
address, Senator Walsh said: young
lawyers absolutely blight their careers
by becoming mayors Of their home cit
les. Nine men out of then make fail
ure OF life who enter upon a public
career, and usually die in poverty"
He earnestly advised every ambitious
professional student to steer clear
OF public career"
Commenting upin these utterances,
the Republican Publicity Association
Says: "It seems to be the Walsh doc
ttrine that any man whoo is worth his
salt shoould carefully avoid giving the
public the benefit Of his knowledge
and experience and devote himself ex-

PROGRESS SHOWN
TRANSPORTATION
Ratio of Motor Cars to Pop
uIation Reflected in
Civilization.

How closely the history Of civiiiza ton
is wrapped up In the history Of the de-
velopment Of transportation few people
realize these days. when quick. con-
venient. comfortable transportation has
become 30 common that II 10 almost Sec
ond nature with u.s." is the opinion of
Walter c. Davis. secretary and sales
manager of the George W. Davis Motor
Car Company OF Richmond, Ind. Yet
the- progress Of civilization and the
progress Of the art. science and business
of transportation are inseparab!y linked
together.
"One hundred and ffty-three years
ago the first motor-driven highway
vehicle was designed built and operated
by Cugnot. the Frenchman. Yet, through
the lack of suitable fuel. through
ignorance and superstition. and failure
to grasp its mighty possibilities, the
great invention Of the age was allowed
to languisl,. undeveloped. for more than
century longer Then came gasoline.
and the development of the gasoline
motor. and in the space Of q few years
the automobile became universal. To-
day there are ten and a half million
motor cars in the United States alone.

MILLION INCREASE
IN MOTOR VEHICLES
U. S. Bureau of Public Roads
Compares 1921 List With
Preceding Years.

With returns received from all
states. the bureau OF public roads Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture reports that the motor vehi-
Gle registration for the year 1921 to-
tailed 10,44S,632. This represents an
increase Of more than a million over
the 1920 figures, or a number equal
to the total number at the beginning
Of 1918.
The greatest increases in registra-
ton were in industrial sections, the
agricultural sections in general
showing a smaller amount Of increase.
No state reported q registration less
amount collected as fees Of various
kinds amounted to $122,47s.654.
Rate OF Increase Continues.
1t has been expected that the reg
| istrations this year would show
greater falling off in the rate OF in
crease than the figures reported show
The increase this year continues ap-
proximately the same average rate
that has been maintained for, the last
seven years, and shows no indication
Of the near approach of condition
of saturation in the supply Of motor
vehicles.
With more than 100000 vehicles
in use and the owners demanding i'm
proved roads over which to operate
them. the question arises as to how
long the country will have to walt
for q connected system of highways
covering the whole United States, say
officials of the bureau.
The recent federal highway act pro-
vided for the construction OF q con-
nected system of highways consisting
Of not more than per cent of the
roads in each state, and made an tni-
tial appropriation of 375,000,000 to be
used in conjunction with state funds.
The system to be built is now being
outlined, and it will comprise about
10000 miles Of road included. in
which there will be about 10000 miles
that are already completed.
VIII Require Fifteen Years.
With an annual program based on a
federal appropriation Of $4,000, 900,
and assuming that the states will
continue to match the. federal funds
in the same ratio as heretofore, and
that the average cost of the roads
built will be 100000 a mile, officials
say 1t will take fifteen years to COM
plete the proposed system. II the
federal appropriations are made at
the rate of $10O,000,00 a year the
system can be completed in ten years,
and il only $50,000.000 is appropriated
annually it will take twenty years to
build it,
