that the average car travels 5000
miles a year and that the average
load is 21s persons. On this basis,
using the registration of passenger
cars and not counting trucks, autom-
bile travel in Minnesota is estimated
at 100000, 900 passenger miles per
year. Railway travel in Minnesota,
according to reports to the State Rail
road commission, totaled 552, 1926
passenger miles in 1925 and 1929
OCT, 465 in 1919, 1.-The highest year on
record.
Thus while automobile travel is
six times as great as rail travel in
the country at large, in Minnesota ii
is nearly twelve times as great as the
rail travel in 1925 and more than SIX
times as great as the total rail travel
for 1919. The falling off of rail
travel from 1919 to 1925, namely
ATT 1000, 900 miles, would account for
only one fourteenth of automobile
travel in the state.
Mr.. Trumbower estimates trolley
travel at 10000, 100000 miles per
year. Adding this to the steam rail-
way travel, the travel on rubber is
still three times as great as the travel
on rails. No estimate of trolley trav-
ell in Minnesota is available.
Although bus traffic is developed
more in Minnesota than in the aver
age state it is estimated at only
8 1-3 per cent of the total automobile
travel.

Automobile Travel is

Part of Highway Travel, State
and u. S. Figures Show

Automobile travel is mostly new
business, and the portion which is

roads is comparatively small, accord
ing to studies made by H. r. Trum-
bower, economist of the Bureau OF
Public Roads at Washington. SINH
lar conclusions are reached from a
study of Minnesota highway and rail
way statistics, except that Minnesota
has "a higher ratio of automobile
travel than the average state.
Automobile travel for the whole
United States totaled 219,971, O00,-
600 miles in 1925, Mr.. Trumbower es-
Inmates, while travel, as shown by
reports to the Interstate Commerce
totaled 35,963,862,O0O passenger
miles. This railway travel is greater
than any year prior to 1917, he
shows, while the peak was reached in
1920 with 46,848,688,000 passenger
miles. The decrease is less than
eleven billion miles, he points out,
and accounts for only small portion
of the total automobile travel. Auto
mobile travel has also superseded
travel by horsedrawn vehicles, but
this, he says, can account for only
a small / portion of the automobile
travel. Consequently, most of those
riding in automobiles are people who
would otherwise have stayed at home.
Mr.. Trumbower arrived ait his
figures by taking the total registra-
ton for the United States, estimating
