LET'S MOTOR ACROSS

Leon A. Dickinson. in Lesslie's Week
 ly.
 Most of those who may be plan ming to polish up their motor cars and set on a trip across the country fail to realize how recent has been the growth of this American pastime of driving from coast to coast more or less en famille. Exception the oc- casional venturesome pioneer striv- Ing for new records or else for publi- city it has grown up entirely since the World war.
 The first automobile trip across the country was made in 1903 by pr. H. Nelson Jackson and Sewall K, Crock CT, as the result of a wager. pr. Jackson left San Francisco May 23 in a two-eylinder twenty horse power Winton touring car, equipped with a complete camping outfit, some extra spark plugs, spare tire and a few tools.
 After ferryins across to Oakland, Dr. Jackson drove through Stockton and Sacramento and up the Sacra- mento river to Anderson. There he left behind the Southern Pacific, and with no other supplies than twelve gallons of gasoline and five gallons of oil. struck out across country The first part of the route followed the Pitt river and made a connection with the railroad at Alturas. Beyond Alturas the tourist entered the desert region of southeastern Oregon. At one time on this stage of the trir they were thirty-six hours withou; food, driving day and night without seeing a human being but, fortu- nately. they had plenty of drinking water.

the cost of living sky-rocketins back to where 1t was at top notch She says it adds 50 per cent to the cost of every market basket and every wardrobe bundle that goes into the American home. 1t places a GO per cent duty on practically all ar tieles of wearing apparel. cotton woolen and silk and duty ranging from 40 to 50 per cent on all fabrics and cloths. It taxes the cheapest glove three dollars a dozen, the low est priced stocking TO cents dozen and the coarsest undergarment 40 cents a dozen. Table, household and kitchen utensils are assessed at 50 per cent of their value. It takes corn meal, potatoes, cattle, fresh beef, fresh pork, hams and bacons milk, eggs and cocoanuts from the free list where the democrats placed them in the Underwood law, and places them on the dutiable list rais- ing their prices to the consumer about 50 per cent.
 Everything Taxed
 On practically every other com modity coming under tlfe housewives daily reckoning, they have placed from 4 0to 400 per cent tax, includ ing wheat, oatmeal, fish, apples plums, lemons, walnuts, macaroni butter, cheese and poultry"
 Everything we need she con cludes. from the cradle to the grave will be taxed in the Fordney McCumber tariff bill, beginning by doubling the taxes on dolls and toys, and ending with an increased tax of 30 per cent on tombstones."
 We import very little foodstlffs, " counter the republican leaders, and if we allow Europe to flood this country with cheap articles of ap- paraA and household utensils. many mills in this country. will have to shut down. The American manufac- tuer cannot compete with the Eu- ropean manufacturer particularly at this stage of the game with Euro pean conditions as they are now. If woman's husband Is out of work, or she is out of work herself she cannot keep on buying things. no matter how cheap they are"
 Retail stores all over the country are asking women to sign petitions, and they are doing it. Carloads of these petitions are being dumped at the door of Congress. registering the protest. of women against the pre- dicted rise in the high cost of liv- ing.
 (Which means exactly what a dec irrai point followed by two zeroes means" say the women at the re- publican headquarters.
 You can always get women and men too to sign petitions in favor or against anything at all, like the judge found out who unheedingly signed a petition to hang himself before being told of the hoax played upon him. When women have had more time to study the tariff bill they will see that it is better to pro tect our people at home from unem- ployment than to play angel to Eu- rope"
 Which lady shall have the last say republican or democrat? Only election day will tell.

 The first transcontinental tour, talk ing the word in it's customary mean ing, was that of Messrs. Gehr and Garfield and their families in 1906. They started from Wenatchee, Wash. on the west bank Of the Columbia river and in the heart of the famous apple country, and blazed an entirely new trail through the mountains of Wyoming They arrived in New York after 1S0 days on the road.
 Fortunately for the tourists of to- day, the dangers and discomforts that beset the pathways of the pioneers have in great measure been eliminat- ed, so that thes modern motorist can make his plans for a transcontinen tai trip with reasonable assurance of getting to his destination at about the time desired without fear of much trouble or delay, provided he takes reasonable precautions and does not attempt the impossible.

RepuoHcan and Democratic leaders alike know tha. the Fordney- Me- Cumber tariff bill Is to be the issue
 In the congressional elections this fall. regardless of whether 1t is the law of the land by that time or mot.
 Therefore a great campaign of ed- ucation for the women on the tariff is under way. Democratic and re- publican headquarters are flooding the country with tariff and anti tariff propaganda, all of it addressed to the women.
 And any one who thinks the tariff ..is beyond the feminine ken has 'iseveral staggering thinks a-comin'. n's It is quite the other way around. .,Women are amazed at mans inabili- fty to decide whether a tariff for revenue only, or a high protective /. .tariff is best for the country. The ,, men have been stupidly mulling over ''the problem all these years. Now Y this year the women are going to Say what's what; and they'll say 1t with votes in the November eIec- nuons.
 M Parties Are Busy ..t,, Both republicans and d .ocrats are desperately trying to bring the women around to their respective ,,'yiewpoints and are trotting out their ''inost telling arguments in pamphlet form for use In womens clubs. ''. Has it occurred to you" say the democrats, that women are the spenders of the nation and will be the first to object to raising prices due to a republican tariff"
 And has 1t occurred to you. rejoin the republicans that the jobs of one and three quarters millions of wo- men in industry will be endangered By a democratic free trade polIcy?' I But whether the object is to shrink or swell the tariff both ar guments are suffering from weak Knees and general inability to stand on their own feet without wabbling They are based on the supposition that women believe their own welfare to be a separate and dictinct affair from that of the men. And the most of them are aware that it is not.
 1t is admitted on all sides that ! the women will cast the deciding vote in determining whether repub- iican tariff leglsIation shall be sus- ' tained or blocked.
 M Primarily Housewives
 The democrats are proceeding on the theory that women are primarily Housewives and not farmers. or z ti anu eiAOA OA0A VI deeply interested in the cost of things they must buy. and not in the price of things they have to sell. The republicans are trying to put over the idea that. no matter how < cheap things may be, if the hus- <. bands or the women themselves are out of jobs they will be unable to 'huy them They point out the fact that over half of the people employed 4't. f1a ind ctrxr ush be chiefly affected by the flood of cheab clothing from Europe, are women.
