OUR AUTOMOBILE SUPREMACY.

~ = - I 4 Wv - III ~ 4 II ~ 4
AS the result of a very thorough
going survey, R. NJ. Miller, statis-
tician of the National Bank of Com
merce reports that SO per cent of
the motor vehicles in the world are
owned in the United States and Can
ada. Furthermore Mr.. Miller states
that nearly 80 per cent of all COM
plotc passenger cars and chassis were
made to sell here for less than 81 800
each. And again he tells US that IS
per cent of all passenger cars sold in
1922 were bought on the time method.
In other words, the motor vehicle
has become a commonplace necessity
of life here, whereas in the rest of the
world it remains a luxury. And in
that fact lies a significance which
may be commended to all those Cas-
sandras who from time to time fore
tell the coming of a cred" revolution.
There will be no "red" revolution here
as long as the wealth Of the country
continues to be distributed in such
fashion that the average man can en-
JOY a standard of life which far trans
cends any obtainable elsewhere.
Our supremacy in the enjoyment of
automobiles is not an accident. 1t
comes directly out of those principles
of liberty and democracy which are
the peculiar American heritage Good
wages, decent working hours and the
anxiety to raise our own and our
chidren's status beyond the low level
that contents people elsewhere, are
the outward marks of the inward
grace which is the soul Of Amer
lean civilization. Without the physi-
cal freedom that they represent, it
would not be possible for the country
fully to develop her spiritual resour-
ces. Whether we shall make all the
use we ought to make Of our oppor-
turities remains to be seen. But Ger
tain it is that no other country has
ever given her children a fair chance
of enriching the world by freeing
them from the shackles of material
worry.

A Trip To California As Told
BY A Garrett COuntian

To the Editor of the Republican,
Knowing that your readers of Gar
rett and adjacent counties are ever
interested in news of the West I take
time and pleasure writing you a brief
account of my trip across the States,
andwill later write you concerning my
experiences and ideas Of the Golden
State, very appropriately called the
land of sunshine and flowers.
We left st. Louis at 1890 P. NJ.
Friday, the 28th, for Los Angeles via.
the California Limited, a solid pull
man train and one Of the finest and
fastest Of the trans-continental trains,
making the complete run from ST.
Louis to Los Angeles without a
change of cars, a distance Of over
1900 miles.
Gong to our berth in st. Louis, we
aWoke in Kansas City, our train re-
sumed its journey westward through
/ Wichita reaching Hutchinson about
2:30 in the afternoon. Here we reach
the plains country which is almost as
smooth and level as great lake, and
as our train moved westward at 68
to Y miles an hour we hardly felt it
move. Looking back from the obser-
walton, we saw the track stretch away
in an unbending line like a great sill
yer cord, sometimes forty or fifty
miles without the slightest curve.
Retiring again, near the Colorado
line, we awoke about 8 a. m. to find the
atmosphere had grown very light and
bitter cold, we had just left Trinidad,
Colo, and our train with the help of
mountain climber" started an as
cent of 1886 feet in fifteen miles, the
maximum grade being 312 per cent.
This is what is known as the Ration
Pass through the Rockies. At the
top of this pass we crossed the Great
, Divide at an altitude of 1880 feet. In
the morning we were near Las Vegas
New Mexico. From there vegetation
becomes extinct, with the exception
OF scrub pine and sage, which covers
the landscape, and in a few hours
pass away leaving a rocky barren
sand waste, thousands of square miles
in extent, with not enough Vegetation
to properly feed the colonies of goph-
ers, which are practically the only liv-
ing things on the desert, except here
and there along the small streams
one finds small town inhabited by
few ranchers with a bunch of goats
and a few broncos who are forcing
miserable eXistance from the bar
rem soil.
/ Through this great area we occa-
sionally saw the remaining ruins of
the ancient Pubic Indians, built hun
dreds of years ago, the chief material
being adobe, made by baking the des-
ert clay into great brick or other
form. These are particularly inter-
esting when we think of these strange
| people being the aboriginese of our
wonderful country.
Passing through New Mexico and
Arizona we passed through the
mountains into that newest and best
known part of our country, Cali
fornia. AS to California I can tell
you very little at present, but from
what | have seen and know it is my
opinion at present that it far exceeds
its most wonderful reputation.
Sincerely yours,
E., Page E. Gnegy,
Los Angeles. Cal.

PRACTICAL AID FOR FARMERS

The decision of President Coolidge
to send Managing Director Meyer and
Director Mondell Of the War Finance
Corporation, into the Northwest to
promote the formation of cooperative
marketing organizations is not likely
to awaken enthusiasm among those
who demand relief for the farmers in
their immediate plight, but it is much
more sensible than most Of the expe-
dents that have been offered. If Mr..
Meyer and Mr.. Mondell are success
full, the Government will have helped
in laying better foundation for the
future Of the Northwest farmers.
Cooperative marketing, which means
orderly marketing instead of dump
ing, is one Of the two most rational
means Of stabilizing agriculture in
the West and Northwest. The other
is Investigation of crops, so that the
farmers will be in position to meet
market conditions in a normal way,
instead of gambling year in and year
out on wheat, today making a "kill-
ing" and tomorrow being "killed' BY
a collapse that leaves nothing after
the banker, the railroad and the mid
dleman have taken their toll. Neither
cooperative marketing nor diversifi-
cation is open to challenge; both have
been proved, notably in the South.
where for many years such conditions
as prevail now in the West were COM
mon.
1t is quite likely that such meas
ures, designed to prevent recurrence
of existing conditions rather than to
remedy existing conditions, are the
only practicable aids that can be Civ
en- the famers, much as all thought
full men would like to aid them. Price
fixing, which has been hastily urged
by some of the farmers political
friends, is theoretically wrong. And
while in practice it might give some
immediate relief, it undoubtedly
"Odiu IOolCI Slll uilutdlIllN COIlulllOH
that would create another emergency
in year or two. SO ardent a cham
pion of the plain people of the North
west as Senator La Toilette has
failed to grow enthusiastic over
prlce-tiXing suggestions, and it is to
be noted that the Senator is not only
politician--he is a student of eco
Monies
Neither is it likely tina drastic re-
duction in freight rates is the cure-alI
it might aid the troubled wheat farm
ers in some degree, but it probably
would fall far short Of what it's advo-
Gates think. Apart from any question
of justice to the railroads, and of the
reaction upon the whole country of
blow to the railroads, there is an ar
resting quality in the claim of rail
road men that even though rates on
wheat were cut to the bone the wheat
farmers would not be greatly helped
at this time. because there is no one
to whom they can sell their surplus,
regardless of rates.
Again, it is to be noted that the
mere extension of credit facilities for
the farmers is not a complete remedy.
The intermediate credit banks, crea-
ted by the last Congress. may help
greatly to facilitate the creation of
cooperative marketing organizations,
but that aid cannot suffice when the
supply is out Of proportion to the de,
mand. The all-important need is to
relate production and marketing to
tthe consumers requirements,
