Texas aggords a good example. This
state, as the records show, enjoys
an annual automotiye income around
$4,000, goo a year. If that income
were TO be applied wholly to the con-
struction OF the state system, ten
years from now would find the peo-
pie in possession of q $500, 000, 900

all paid 1cr by the automobile, and
motor car owners, provided they are
given the right roadbed, would be out
nothing. At least that is the way it
has worked out in North Carolina, IL
linois and other states that have
taken their automotive income in
hand and applied il upon a sound
banking basis TO the redemption Of
bonds issued to get the roads now.
Oklahoma Has Big Income
Oklahoma enjoys an income from
this unexpected source Of public
wealth amounting to nearly $4,000
900 a year. That, too, is a siZable
amount Of money and il applied to

Of Oklahoma.
In Kansas automotive income from
these two sources-license fee and

but so tightly is it gripped by local
sentiment which is against giving the

Nebraska Not Enough
In Nebraska the total income, as
parceled out now, does not come up to
state highway needs when measured
by the necessity for replacement Of
gravel surfacing with pavement on
some heavy traffic route, notably one
between Omaha and Lincoln. How
ever, with present income augmented
by q one cent increase in gasoline

deferred until the next session, road

of being met. considered the wide ex-

Franklin Factory Is 3
Weeks Behind on
Orders

Untitled orders Of the Franklin
Automobile company of Syracuse are
three weeks behind fulfillment, as a
result of new volume Of sales OBJ
tanned since announcement Of the
new Altman series Of air-cooled cars,
according TO officials Of the company.
Factory production has been speeded
up to capacity, with many depart
ments operating on a full siX-day
week schedule with overtime.
During the first week in October.
Franklin dealers report more than
10000 demonstrations Of the Altman,
which have resulted in an influx Of
orders far beyond factory expecta-
itons. In Syracuse, the distributor
reports 20 per cent of his normal
yearly sales made in one week and
in Providence, II. J., is per cent Of
the yearly normal was sold in one
week. Sales of the new seven-pas-
senger models have surpassed ex-
pectations, officials said.
The strong trade front presented
by Franklin because Of the new sales
stimulus is reflected by investment
demand for the eompany's preferred
stock in the Syracuse market, which
has risen four points since announce
ment Of the new models.

ALL SEASONS
Cadillac Sales Vary
Little In Winter
Months Now

Volume Of automobile travel is
rapidly becoming equalized through
out the year. The storing of cars for
the winter is practically q thing Of
the past In the north, the more
general removal Of snow from the
highways. and over the country the
extension of good roads and the in
creasing vogue of winter touring,
combined with the growth in popu-
larity Of the closed car, all have been
important factors in dispelling the
DOGGY against winter driving.
The change in seasonal attitude
on the part of motorists has been
reflected in sales, according to II. u
Stephens, general sales anage OF
the Cadillac Motor Car company, and
the change has been particularly
marked during the past two years.
While there always must be vari-
alton in sales volume due TO general
conditions. the factors of weather
and climate, according to this ex-
ecutive, are constantly becoming less
important. An analysis Of Cadillac
sales during the past twI years and
orders for both CadilIacs and La
Sales during the current season in
dictate that motorists buy cars when
they wan them and that q new car
for a winter tour TO the South is as
likely TO be the occasion for a pur-
chase as is the summer tour to the
mountains.
I'VE already have over 500, 900
miles of surfaced highways" Mr..
Stephens states, land this mileage is
increasing at the rate Of 35. 900
miles every year. Every new high
way is a new incentive TO automobile
travel. Around the large cities good
roads and the clearing Of trunk
lines have made all-the-year sub
urban residence practical, and this
development has also greatly in
creased winter driving.
"The evolution Of the closed car
to the point where IL has become
safe, dependable and comfortable
during cold and stormy weather has
given the final impetus to a~ll-season
travel by motor car. In fact, the
closed body has made the automo-
bile even more useful in inclement
weather than in good weather. IL
Is by all odds the most comfortable
md most protected way TO travel
between two given points. Improved
manufacturing methods with in
creased production Of this type of
body has brought the closed car into
the same price range with open cars.
Mechanical improvements in engines.
making starting easier in cold wea-
Their. and eliminating crankcase di-
luton, increased skill in the use of
antifreeze solutions and the intro
duction Of various accessories such
as the closed car heater, have done
away with the inconvenience and
dangers Of v~enturing out upon snow
swept roads during zero tempera-
lures.
For other reasons : reasons
which ignore the protection Of closed
bodies : we also find in tho Cadi-
lac and I.aSalle lines that open
cars. hand-tailored with as much
care as custom closed cars, make an
entirely new appeal. At one time
purchased as a matter of economy,
the open car is today custom-built
and used as q sport car. For winter
driving in the open, with the dash
and color of its design. il is parti-
eularly alluring TO the younger gen.

Bob Michaelson, operating on up per Mills creek, Moose Pass placer dis trict. has about completed repairs to his ditch, caused by gravel slides, and is preparing to set up his giant claim length above his cabin, where he has discovered some good pay on the bench. The gravel and boulders crushed several lengths of pipe, ne- cessitating considerable work in re- adjusting. He hopes to be using his hydraulic plant within the next week or ten days, and expects to take out some money. z

One of the largest attendances at a Seward Chamber of Commerce luncheon in months turned out Sat urday noon, the occasion being a special luncheon for D. M.

Williams in his in obtaining funds for road projects and the necessity of the communities where such projects are wanted to cooperate with the department to the extent of supplying all available information regarding the country to be traversed, what sections the road would serve, the agricultural possi- bilities, if any, also mining or any other operating or potential resource. Every bit of information of this nature is included in reports asking for appropriations and it is on these reports that the final action is based and not signed petitions. Nothing was said regarding the possibilities of construction by the department of the Quartz Creek road from Moose Pass down to Cooper Landing or of the proposed Kenai lake Moose Pass connecting. link.
 Mr. Williams departed for his Jun eau office yesterday and due to the necessity of making a trip to the States this fall. does not believe that he can possibly find time to make another inspection of this project this year.
