prosperity, a deity which exacts its

Facts Support Impressions.
Unlike many first impressions. this
one Is supported by the facts. In the
United States one out of every five per-
sons owns a car; in Britain the owners
are but / in 40. For over there the
automobile Is still sign of comfortable
circumstances, a luxury beyond the
Indeed, any man with less than $4,000
a year who ventures to keep one will
probably be regarded by his neighbors
as a reckless fellow, likely to come to a
bad end through following the horses
or gambling on the stock exchange.
For this state of affairs, so surprising
to Americans, there are two main rea-
sons. Firstly, distances in Britain are
very short and rail communications ex-
cellent, so that car is not the practi-
cal necessity which 1t is in the United
States. Secondly, cars cost on the aver
age nearly twice as much as they do
here. The popular family sedan can
not be obtained for less than 5000, and
even the little horsepower babies"
cost 5000 or $70o. For the large-scale
production and consequent low prices Of
this country are impossible to British
manufacturers, whose maximum home
market is only one-third of the Ameri-
can and whose actual patrons must fall
far below this figure owing to the lower
standard of wages among the masses Of
the people.
Outward Appearance Similar.
In outward appearance British and
American cars do not vary much to-
day. since the development of body
work has tended to converge in the past
few years. The chief difference is in
the power of the motors. This is due
to the high rate of British taxation,
SIS per cylinder horsepower per annum,
which compels the British manufac-
turer to produce small high-eficiency
engines for the popular market. More
over, the higher fuel consumption Of

WESTERN STATES
OPEN RAIL FIGHT
Two Roads Seek to Break
Southern Pacific Control
of Coast Route.
~ the Associated Press.

Gy the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 49,
Representatives of IL western States
IL railroads and about so cities coun-
ties and civic bodies, lined up here to-
day for an Interstate Commerce Com
mission hearing to determine whether
the Great Northern and Western Pa
cific Railroads shall have the right to
link their lines to compete with the
Southern Pacific in the Pacific North
west and other territory.
The prize will be the North-South
transportation business of the Pacific
Coast and connected regions, extending
into Canada on the north, Mexico on
the south, and east to the Great Lakes
and the Gulf of Mexico.
The Great Northern seeks permits
sion to build southwark from klamath
Falls, Greg, to Bieber, Calif.--a dis
lance of So miles. The Western Pacific
would build northward 1l2 miles from
Keddie, Calf, to Bieber, where the two
systems would be linked. Over this con-
nection the Western Pacific would de-
liver freight to the Great Northern,
chiefly California fruit and vegetables
for the Northwest.
Return Of Products.
The Great Northern would send
southwark over the Western Pacific
large quantities of goods from the
Northwest, chiefly forest products, into
the Southwest
Coastwise rail- trafic heretofore has
gone over the Southern Pacific, which
owns the only line operating between
California and the Washington
area and which is fighting the appll-
cation Of the Great Northern and West
The proposed connection would create
another direct rail route between these
areas.
Hone of sharing the new trafic has
spurred several railroads to line up Win
the petitioners. These include the
Northern Pacific, the Denver g. Rio
Grande Western, the McCloud River
Railroad and the Santa Fe System.
Loss of Traffic Feared.
ON the other hand, railroads fearing
tl,e Ioss of traffic through diversion over
the protected line of traffic shared with
the Southern Pacific have banded to-
rether on the side of the defense. Tney
Include the Union Pacific ana 1eeder
lines, the oregon Short Line, Los
Angeles 81 Salt Lake Railroad and the

ton Co.

ton, chief of the Bureau of Public
Roads, today advocated the issuance OF
bonds for highway construction in an
address at the fifteenth annual conven-

He told members of the association
that the issuance of bonds rather than
adoption of the policy of pay as you

permanent realization OF their dreams
Of connected highway systems.
Other speakers charged that the Fed

of its duty in providing funds to the
States for Federal-aid projects.
Legislation by Congress to place the
interstate motor vehicle passenger and

agency, and to regulate tolls on bridges
constructed across navigable streams,
