FARMERS PROBLEM
IS TRANSPORTATION
Relation Shown Between Bread And
Roads

Senator Arthur Capper OF Kansas,
farmer, who if anyone, should know
the facts about the farms, says that
transportation is the greatest problem
the United States has to solve. The
Senator not only says it, but proves
it in few words. He says:
"1n Kansas today the farmer has
to pay u cents bushel for shipping
his wheat to Chicago. He gets about
$l.25 for it there, allowing him some
thing like 80 cents bushel for wheat
which really means loss of about 40
cents on every bushel grown and sold
at that rate. The railroads, meantime
are getting twice as much for freight
as they did five years ago when the
farmer was selling his wheat for $2.26
Today the situation is 10 cent
bread or higher for the consumer
while the farmer, the producer, gets
80 cents for the wheat which costs
him not less than $120 to grow. The
same situation prevails, of course in
the beef industry The railroads get
high freight rates, while the grower
gets a minimum.
~The people of this country are
being brought to. see that basically, il
this country is to enojy stable pros
perity the condition of the farmer
must be better than it is now. There
is no getting away from the age-old
truth that Gas for the earth, out of il
cometh forth bread"
When every trunk line railroad is
paralleled by broad. smooth, wei
graded national highway strong
enough to support trucks of five Oh
even ten ton capacity, the railroad;
will not get y cents a bushel to take
wheat from Kansas to Chicago!
The transportation problem neither
begins nor ends with railroads. The
highways problem daily becomes more
and more vital. The making of auto
mobiles is today larger industry thar
the running of railroads; making O
roads for automobiles and trucks is in
evtably to become the greatest single
industry of the country. When it ha'
been so long enough TO provide three
hundred thousand miles of highgradt
roads (about the railroad mileage O.
the nation) there will no longer be ar
acute transportation problem.

The bigger the body, the slower
the movement The greater the move
mcnt must be, the longer it takes to
get under way
The United States is large body
almost entirely surrounded by good
motor cars and poor roads. it is NOV
ing slowly, but surely towards con-
dition when it will have only good
roads. The movement is slow because
the body is so large, and has SO many
head 100000 of them.
Improving our almost three million
miles of highways is huge task. The
movement is enormous. Therefore, it
takes time to get under way. 1t is
like monster freight train, starting
up grade, requiring many locomo-
tives to begin the travel and slowly
getting up speed. But once the train
is in motion, it has an enormous force
for going ahead; one locomotive can
keep it moving and it is difficult to
stop!!
So will it be with our road building
program; slowly but surely the move
ment for better roads than Federal
aid can give, for more noads than
States alone can build, is gathering
momentum. When it gets up speed,
nothing can stop it.
Meanwhile the individual who needs
a good road and needs it now, must
not lose courage. It was said the
Panama Canal couldn't be built in a
generation. 1t was built in a few
short years. At the rate were arc at
present building Federal aid roads it
will +ake some hundred and fifty or
two hundred years to improve our
road system. All of us will be very
dead before that movement is well
started. The answer is to change the
movement, to work for, educate for,
vote for, national highways, built by
and maintained by the National Gov
crnnlent give this Nation two hun
dred thousand miles of such roads
(Which could with ease be built in a
period of five years) and the rest OF
the roads will be improved in even
less time, which will refuse to be kept
from the benefits of such national

to do to enjoy it, is to connect with il

ANYBODY WANT JOB
WITH UNCLE SAM?
Has Two Mighty Good Positions In
Europe Open; Takes Lot of Money

Uncle Sam is looking around for
two men to fill the places of Ambassa-
dor Harvey at London, England and
Ambassador Childs at Rome, Italy,
Both these men have represented the
United States for several years in the
European capitals, but they are soon
coming home.
They've been good men at their
posts and Uncle Sam would like 70
keep them there. But neither Harvey
nor Childs can afford it, If they stick
much longer, the admit they'll go
broke"
Takes A Lot of Money
The United States pays it ambas-
sailors i'll European capitals a salary
of $4,000 year. That's right good
salary over here, but it isn't a drop in
the bucket acting as representative of
the American government in Europe.
Several years ago a man of ability
had it all figured out how he was to
get by on $4,000 a year if he was
appointed as ambassador to England
He was appointed and the first din
ner he gave in London cost him hall
a years salary The merchants over
there lay it on thick. charging exor-
bitant prices for the American Am
bassador is supposed to be rich and
able to stand it.
It's one dinner after another in the
capitals of Europe. Dinners are alb

ponds on his ambassadors to keep him
informed on just what's doing in Eu-
rope, and when the foreign diplomats
are stuffed with roast lamb and the
roast lamb is washed down with lots
of champagne there's lot of talking
goes on. All this time the American
ambassador keeps his ears open and

To be ambassador at either London

SIXTEEN MILLION
CARS IN 1925?
Number of Cars In u. S. Show Inev-
liability of National Highways

Three hundred motor cars were
registered in the United States in
1895. In 1925, thirty years after, the
number will be in excess OF 100000.
This is not prophecy, but a con-
tinuation of table of registrations.
In the ten years from 1918 to date, the
table of motor cars registrations in
hundred thousands, reads as follows:
l. II. "a, IS, 81, 81, 75, 81, 104, 1928.
1t is hardly prophecy to say that the
next two years will show figures of
lao and 100 hundred thousand, or
100000 and 100000 cars regis
tered.
1t is inevitable that these cars have
more and more good roads to run
upon. II this number of wheeled We
hicles congest our few hundred thou

that a greater number will compel
