Washington, Dec. 1S.-There are
enough motor vehicles in the United
States to take the entire population
for ride at the same time, says the
bureau of public roads of the depart
ment of agriculture. At the beginning
of 1922 there were AZ motor vehicles
for each mile of road in the United
States.
One hundred and twenty vehicles per
minute was the rate at which motor
vehicles passed a bureau observing
station on a trunk line highway in
Massachusetts, recently. This rate was
continued from noon to ten p. m.
A tourist recently driving through
four states was required to- buy four
different sets Of lenses to make his
headlights comply with state regula-
tions. In this the bureau sees great
need for more uniformity in highway
Federal-aid highways placed under
construction in September amounted

ITALIAN RAILROADS
ARE: IN Dad WAY

BY the Associated Press.
Rome, Dec. 1.-Benito Mussolini,
italy's new prime minister, who until
nine years ago was known as a social
ist, has begun his tenure Of office by
inexorably laying the axe to the root
of all public service institutions own
ID OF managed by the state, such as
railways, telephones, telegraphs, let
ter and parcelposts, which show de-
ficit; and even some others which are
moro OF less successfully run.
: The railways in Italy are perhaps
che mos, striking example of the. diff
ficulties and Weaknessessof state man
agenent. During u years Of such con-
troll. declares Professor Ugo Ancona,
an expert on financial questions, they
have ceased to be the largest produc-
ars Of national profit, and are today
virtually owned by the railroad men.
Before the great war the railways
brought in from 40,0o0,G10 to 50,000,-
zoo lire year, which might be taken
as interest on the five and half bill
ion lire which had been spent on con-
structing them. The deficit in 1921 was
over a billion lire, although the price
of tickets. is now three times what it
was, and it is said that the deficit
for 1922 will be still greater.
In fact, says Professor Ancona, the
net result of government management
IS disorder on all lines, deficiency Of ma
terial, deplorable condition of running
stock, service deteriorated, and dis
cipline entirely wrecked The number
If employees and their ages have enor-
nously increased; the average rate
If pay having risen from 1000 lire a
year before the was to over 10000
ire today. To this should be added the |
greatly increased number of strikes,
md the fact that thefts on the rail
way, which used to amount to about
% million lire year, have now risen
% over one hundred million Five bill
ion and half lire were spent in so
ears in order to construct the rail
ways; two and half life have been
pent during the II years Of state con-
rol to enlarge them.
Professor Anrona says further that
hese troubles are due in large meas
Ire to the fact that the Italian rail
DAD lines run through sections of the
ountry each with widely differing eco
ionic, social and climatic conditions,
hus creating complicated and diff
ult system impossible for the state
0 manage successfully. Political in
erests have been permitted too much
influence in deciding whtsre new lines
yere to be built.
Another great drawback to the pros
erity of Italian railways Professor
Ancona says, is that the workers have
assisted on an eight hour day, for all
mployes, even for those whose duty
onsists of opening and shutting gate
t level crossing once OF twice a day.
his eight hour question has added
O,O0O or $4,000 to the number of the
ersonnel, and something like 500 mil
on lire to the expense Of operation.
he only remedy likely to bring in
reign of economy and efficiency, ac-
ording to this financial expert, is the
adical one Of gradually ceding to diff
erent private companies the lines
,hich, as one great whole, have been
uch failure in the hands of the
tate.
