lions. Where the trouble comes in,
however, is when the newcomers
attempt to give big time" free
service. They cannot charge this
financial drain to advertising. They
must make q profit, and some OF
them do-at the expense of the car
owner in a great many instances.
Somebody has to pay, for free air,
free water, free road maps. Nat
urally, it's the notorist. He proba-
bly, wouldn't mind II he knew the
facts, and provided he paid for it
in legitimate way. Paying in the
form of repair bills, however, Is
not so pleasant a picture.
INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
Motorists are asked to consider
the expense involved in providing
free air for their tires. Expensive
pumps. Hose connections which are
f11ishandled and which must be re-
placed at frequent intervals. Air
gauges which are lost, strayed or
stolen. Bills for electric current
consumed by the air compressors.
In addition; the motofist inflicts
wear and tear upon the gas vendors
driveway, frequently takes the time
OF his assistants and does not al
ways buy enough supplies to pay
for the damage he does to the
equipment. A great many car own
ers allow the pump to force in more
air than is needed, later letting out
10 pounds. The motorist frequently
tips the men at the filling station,
but who pays for the time these
men must devote to this sort Of
work?
who pays for the laundering Of
the towels In the washrooms? Who
pays for the printing OF the free"
maps? Who pays for the water
hose when 1t rots away and has to
be replaced?
CHARGE 1T TO ADVERTISING
Some Of the larger companies are
paying for it and are charging 1t to
advertising. Many others either
are crediting 1t to experience and
are going into bankruptcy or are
passing the expense along to the
motorists.
The significant point is the car
owner seldom knows when he is
being asked to pay for These mod
ern conveIliences because he often
pays for them. in the form OF boot.
leg gas and used oil. Even when
they are presenting him with the
bill in the form Of charge for re.
pairs to his damaged engine he is
still unacquainted with the facts.

More Federal Judges?.
No!

TElVIDENTLY pressing demand win be
- made on Congress to increase largely the
number Of Federal judges, because Of the
enormous increase of police work thrown into
Federal courts by the Volstead law.
Additional judges, of course, mean more
United States district attorneys, marshals and
clerks-more machinery clear down the line.
That the volstead law, and its general VIC
lation has piled up work on the Federal
judges must be admitted. The district courts
have taken on much the character Of the old
time police courts.
But is this change permanent
Probably not Prohibition will either be
success or a failure. If it becomes successful
and prohibition can actually be made to pro-
hibit, this extra police work will be lifted from
the shoulders of the judges If it fails, the
Volstead law will be amended or ignored
In either event work in the Federal courts
will get back to normal
If judges could be appointed temporarily,
to fill in while the rush is on, the problem
could be solved easily. But once appointed
they are on the JOB for life, whether needed or
not
Friends of prohibition say It viii succeed
It's enemies say it will fail. Certainly it will do
one or the other. Existing conditions are too
intolerable to last indefinitely.
Tt would seem, therefore, that the sensible
thing to do is to wait and see what happens
before piling on the public pay roll whole
flock Of additional judges and supernumeraries
only to take care of a temporary and passing
situation
There is also the possibility that prohibi-
ton enforcement may be thrown back on the
States, where it belongs, anyhow In that
event Federal courts will cease to be police
courts and get back to legitimate Federal bust
ness.
We have enough Federal judges now.
Don't give us any more.
