 PLANS STARTED
Special Committees Named to Frame Up Program

Two days celebration of July Fourth were virtually agreed upon at a meeting of the committee of the Chamber of Commerce, Henry Roden, chairman, held last night. Part, If not all, of July 3d, and all of the Fourth will be given over to putting across as big a celebration as any time in recent years, it was an nounced.
 Funds for the occasion are already available. in making preparations for the entertainment of the Presiden- tial party the Congressional delega- tions and other prominent visitors this season.
 While there will be the customary or two special features, the children's sports will be played up more than usual, more money being allotted for prizes for the youngsters than in previous years A special commit tee composed of Frank Metcalf, Grover c. Vim and Claud c. Hell geson was appointed to arrange the sports program. J. L. Gray was named to look after the baseball tournament

 Two bands, the local white organi- zation, and the Indian band which has been contributing it's services to various occasions recently, will probably be employed for the cele- bration and will be in the line of march in the parade. Maj. Beaumont said he expected to see personally every automobile owner in town and urge them to enter their machines.
 Three teams are expected to com pete for the tournament money, which will probably be $50. These will be the local Fire Department team Douglas and a soldier team from Chilkoot Barracks.
 The program is expected to be com pletely arranged by the first of next week. The big attraction on the first 
 day will be the American Legion smoker. July 3d. The match between Joe Collier and Sinclair Brown is attracting considerable attention and the other two bouts so far announced Battling Johnson and Joe Brady, and Bill Beaudin and Wilson are claimed to be good enough in themselves to be headliners. Ii is probable that one of the baseball games will be staged on this day, but the dates for the tournament had not been fixed today by MT. Gray.
 Invitations to Haines. Chilkoot Barracks and Skagway to partici- pate in the celebration will be sent out at once.
 The committee still has under con sideration an Indian war canoe race as special attraction. One crew is at Haines. and is willing to enter according to telegram received yes terday from Capt. von Grump, of Chilkoot Barracks. If one or two others can be located. it is under stood that the committee is willing to hang up a substantial purse for the event.

Report of Registrations for
Six Months Demonstrates
Bio Growth of Sales.

There are no indications that the
United States or any OF the individual
states are approaching the point OF
saturation In number of motor vehicles
In use. Evidence OF this was brought
out In the preliminary study by the
good roads board Of the American Au-
tomobile Association Of the report OF
the United States bureau of public
roads. showing the number of motor
vehicles licensed In the various states
during the first six months Of 1928. In

The increase in number OF motor We
hicles In the United States has con-
tinued at approximately the same rate
of preceding years, states the goo0
roads board. In the states leading In
road programs are also In advance oi
the other states, and where the frs
indications of approach to the point OF
saturation might be expected, the per-
centage of increase has kept pace. and
In some instances has outdistanced the
records OF the southern states. where
the road programs are in course OF de.
velopment.
An interesting deduction gathered
from the report of the United States
bureau OF public roads is the marked
increase In numbers of motor trucks
for the six-month period as compared
with the entire year of 1922. indicating
the rapid growth of the use of the motor
vehicle for commercial purposes.
In all but nine states material fn-
creases were shown in number Of motor

AUTO PROFITS SMALL,
CLAIMS BUICK HEAD
Says Business Thrives Only by
Quantity Production and
Efficiency.

When you consider that automobile
production in less than twenty years
has multiplied more than a hundred
fold, you realize what a tremendous
giant this young industry has grown 10
be, says II. H, Bassett, president OF the
Buick Motor Company.
Not many years ago there were com
paratiyely few automobile manufactur-
ing companies and none OF them were
important Industrial units, speaking In
national sense.
From that modest stage the industry
has shown wonderful growth and few
moth producers Of excellent motor cars
at reasonable prices.
In the value of manufacturing prod
ucts in this country the automobile
stands foremost among the nations in
dustrfes. More than a billion dollars
is invested In 112 factories which pro-
duced last years output of motor cars,
and II the companies making tires, bat
teries, carburetors and other accesso-
rieS were included there is no doubt but
what the money actually invested In the
allied motor industries would lead that
of any other industry In the United
States.
We have all seen the natural growth
transportation from one community TO
another and from suburban towns to
city centers. This has been accom-
plished without rails, poles or set routes
but on the other hand 1t has brought
about an Improvement in roads thai
has enhanced the value of both city and
country property as no other thing
could have done.
In the past a great many good bust
| ness men have felt that the automobile
business afforded tremendous profits 10
the manufacturers. Years ago this was
| perhaps more or less true, but I dare
1 say there is no manufacturing business
| In the United States that is handled or
| more conservative lines and on smaller
! margin of profit per unit by the big
| manufacturers than that of manufactur-
/ ing automobiles. the great values that
| are offered by the larger manufacturers
1 today are possible only on account OF
/ the excellence of design. skill in manu-
| facture and quantity production which
| reduces overheads with less indirect eE-
pense per car produced.
! There is but one position that any
| large manufacturer can afford to take
and that is the position of giving TO his
customers the best design, the most
style, the most capable performance and
the greatest value for the dollar Of the
article of merchandise he IS manufaC-
turing. By SO doing, he places himself
in a sound economical position as re-
CARDS competition and produces tho
greatest possible amount of good will
among his customers. When all is said
and done, the buyer is the man who
always holds the whip hand. as he Is
free to choose in any merchandise he
| purchases.

for August says that industrial America
Is assured of continued good times and

Urifying -Four Great Transit
4 Systems Is Big Economic Need
Motors, Steam and Electric Lines, and
Ships Should Be Co-ordinated to
Meet Nations Progress.

There is no economic problem OF
greater basic Importance today than the
unifying Of all means of transportation
into one consistent system.
The urgent necessity of moving peo-
pie and materials with the utmost ex-
pediency and economy obviously has a
direct bearing upon the progress of the
country financially, industFially and
commercially. and, therefore, upon the
cost Of living generally.
Significant present-day developments
in transportation are tending unmis-
takabIy toward better coordination and
cooperation between the four main
units--steam roads, electric railways.
chips and motor vehicles
Out Of the confusion and friction Of
the past, an orderly system is being
gradually established, to the elimination
Of wasteful methods and destructive
competition. Tomorrow will see a new
era in this field.
Motor Use Expands.
The outstanding factor in the linking
of railways, highways and waterways is,
Of course. the rapidly expanding use OF
are of ancient origin; the amazing
growth of the motor industry has taken
place in little more than q score OF
years, and only within the last few
Years have trucks and buses taken
their permanent place as essential
transportation units.
Yet In that short space OF time great
army OF trucks has been sent forth on
its mission OF carrying the products OF
n rat
platforms and docks and factories, and
eventually to stores and homes; an tm-
mense fleet of busSes and taxicabs has
given it's contribution to the task OF
moving millions of persons within cities
and between communities, supplement-
ing and extending the service of rail
and Inland water lines.
The motor industry now Is in the leg
fslative period of its development; a
flood of laws and proposed measures,
relating to the regulation of these mod
ern carriers of the highway, has fol-
lowed in the wake of their wider utili-
zation, and legislative hoppers in every
state have been janmed with thousands
of bills.
Without question there has been some
wise Legislation enacted with the view
OF promoting and encouraging this new
est of giant industries; It is likewise
certain that there have been passed
many laws destructively restrictive.
While we are long past the days in
which farmers got together to warn all
members against having any business
dealings whatever with owners or oper-
ators of the modern juggernaut of the
road, the 'horseless buggy" there still
exists in the minds of many misconcep-
ton of the true Importance of motor
vehicles and of the attitude OF the auto
motive industry toward legislation ef-
fecting its interests.
There is much comment, for example
TO the effect that passenger cars and
trucks and busses are not paying their
rightful share Of taxation; that public
highways are being destroyed by their
use. and that unfair competition has
been set up against steam and electric
roads.
II is not generally understood, in other
words. that the burden of assassnaent

On June last, at the dedication Of

President Harding said: There is not

used unimpsded throughout the en-

the early completion of the Lee high
way as opening up such a road. On
August he had planned to dedicate
g similar monument and make simt-
lar plea at San Diego, Calf, where
