STUDEBAKER
10000 In South Bend
Hole Mass Celebra-
ton of Car

More than $4,000 employees Of The
Studebaker corporations South Bend
plants gathered at a monster mass
meeting in the factory yards last
week to celebrate the recent perform
ance records of Studebaker and Err
skine cars at the Atlantic City speed
way, and to pledge their support to
an international sales drive to make
May the greatest month in Stude-
baker history.
Every department Of the corpora
tons plants was closed at 4:45 p.
m. the afternoon OF the day Of the
meeting. The employees were divided
into two armies-the red and the
greenland marched to the factory
yard meeting place. The soldiers"
wore brilliant uniforms proclaiming
their army affiliations. Many carried
slogans and signs of jeer and cheer.
The Notre Dame university military
band led the green army and the
S~tudebaker military band led the red
army with the employees singing the
battle songs Of their respective
groups.
As the tremendous crowd poured
out Of the factory buildings to as
semble around the speakers platform,
many veterans Of the Studebaker or
ganization commented on the vast
growth Of the rs yea old company,
which the Studebaktr brothers found
ed in 1852 with a capital Of SOS and
two small FORCES.
The meeting served as a vivid
demonstration Of the "city within a

give to another part of the system.
Having decided that we shall de-
vote more funds to secondary
roads, practical common sense die
tates that we should also devote
more funds to the primary roads,
which carry probably two thirds
of the total traffic in the state.
We should improve all parts of
our road system. 1t is money well
spent. Our trunk highway ex-
penditures at present are only
five per cent, and all our road ex-
penditures, state, county and
township, are only about ten per
cent of our annual motor vehicle
expenditure. Anyone who has kept
any record and made any study
of his transportation costs, will tell
you that every dollar he spends
for better roads brings back two
or three dollars in reduced gaso-
line bills, tire bills and repair bills.
Good roads have greater value
than merely reducing transporta-
ton costs. They stabilize business
of every kind and bring new bus
mess to the state. They promote
diversified farming, they bring bet
ter schools, better community life,
and better homes. Through pro-
noting social intercourse between
neighbors, between people of all
sections of the state, between diff
ferent states, they help to create
good will and destroy sectional
feeling and prejudice.
Minnesota has made a splendid
start, first under che state aid plan
and next under the trunk highway
and state aid plans combined.
1t would be disaster, if we
should take backward step. The
adoption of the gas tax amend
ment will be backward step if it
should lead to neglect Of the trunk
highways and cause any of the
work already done to be wasted.
1t will he backward step if we
permit the state aid fund, now
twice as large as ever before, to
be frittered away and wasted by
lack of a definite plan and lack of
engineering supervisors. If on
the other hand, the new funds
which come to the counties will
everywhere be spent under some
plan similar to the present state
aid plan or the cbunty aid plan
which is in effect in Todd county,
and if at the same time we decide
that enough shall be spent on the
trunk highways to make them ade-
quate to the traffic, then we will
be making large step forward in
highway improvement. Road costs
and vehicle costs must be taken to-
gether, and the ideal we should
strive at is to improve all roads
to the degree which will make for
the most economical transporta-
ton over that road. 1t might be
possible to build roads so good
that the road cost would more
than offset the saving in vehicle
operating cost, but there is not
much danger Of that for a long
while. Practical economy dictates
that we should put more money
into permanent construction SO
that we may reduce both vehicle
operating costs and road mainten-
ance costs.
