TRUCK SEEN AS
TRADE AIDE

DETROIT. Feb. 20. 1.-THE motor
truck Is looked upon as great
boon to Interstate commerce IN
Australia, which for many Years
has been handicapped by the lack
OF systematized railroad transpor.
tation facilities" says G. 3. steb-
bins, Australia representative of
the Federal Motor Truck Company,
upon his return to Detroit.
tThe fundamental difficulty" +"
says Mrs. Stebbins, "is the lack
of a common gauge rail system.
There are three widths of track in
the Australian Commonwealth,
making interstate rail shipments
both costly and complicated.
Various Gauge Types
'The reason for this lack of
Standardization in rail guages is the
fact that many of the present
Australian states originated as sep
arate settlements.
Each settlement had its own
government and as 1t prospered,
put in force whatever civic i'm
provements and transportation facill
ties it needed within its own terri
tory. The chance of the individual
settlements ever combining in either
commerce or government was ap'
parently either overlooked or neg
lected.
Victoria uses one rail.gauge. but
the adjoining state of New South
Wales uses another. West Aus
tralia, uses the same gauge tracks
as Queensland, on the extreme op1
posite side OF the continent.
"In order to ship goods from one
state to a neighboring one, tbs
transferring of the goods from q
narrow gauge rail to a wider one
or vice versa, causes endless delay
and additional expense.
First Railroad Line
"The first railroad to be con
structed in Australia led from Port
Adelaide to the city Of Ade1aire
eight miles inland. The locomotive
was ordered from England. bui
when it arrived it was discovered
that the rails were laid four feet
eight and a half inches apart. while
the locomotive wheels were five
feet three inches wide, This
incident presents a strange com
parison with the present-day rail
road situation in Australia.
The handicap to interstate raj
shipments of any volume has lei
Australian engineers and statesmen
| to devote much thought and plan
ming toward bringing about I
unification of all the railroads. Blu
the cost, reported to be $500, 000, 900
| is considered high for Common
wealth of 100000 people t,
finance. Consequently, the intro
duction of the motor truck and th'
increased activity in road and high
way construction are looked upos
as a probable solution to this na
| tional difficulty"

GAIN in AUTOS
SHOWN To BE
WORLD WIDE

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.--Automo
biles in use throughout the world
increased to the extent of S.6 per
cent in the past year, the total
number of passenger cars, motor
trucks and motor buses in opera
tion IN January /, 1929, being
placed at 81 ,929,9 ,952, the annual
world motor census by The Amer

shows. The figures just released
also indicate there are 2.17O,l5S
notorcycles in use in the 126 coun-
tries and major political SUBDIVISIONS
of Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania
and the Western Hemisphere IN
cluded in the survey.
Use Increasing
The use of automobiles In all
countries is increasing at rapid
rate. The increase in countries
outside of the United States, as a
group, amounted to 16.5 per cent IN
the past year. The percentage
gained in the United States, which
has a total of 24,494,5S0 cars to its
credit. naturally was not so high,
the increase amounting to per
of cars in use in foreign countries,
the census shows, was 7,455,S
automobiles at the beginning OF this
year, an increase during the year
of more than 100000 units.
The United States now has one
automobile to each 40 inhabitants.
New Zealand ranks second in re-
gard to per capita ownership OF
cars with one automobile to each
SO inhabitants. Canada follows
with one car to each nine persons.
Pass Million Mark
According to the survey, two
countries passed the million mark
in 1928 in the number of automo-
biles in operation. These were
France with 1,108,90 cars, and
Canada with a total of 1861 1928
cars. This makes total Of four
countries with 100000 or more
cars in operation.
Production of automobiles in Eu'
rope last year showed a moderate
gain. Excluding the cars and trucks
Of American origin assembled In
subsidiary plants in Europe of such
companies as Ford, General Motors
Chrysler. Hudsofl.Essex, Overland
and others, European makers pro
duced about 1900 cars and trucks
In 1928, which compares with. ap'
proximately $4,000 units in 1927.
The best estimates available credit
Great Britain with having manu-
factured 215,00O automobiles last
year. France produced about 200,
900, followed by Germany with go.
600, Italy with $4,000, Czecho
slovakia with 10000, Austria with
1000, and Belgium with about 1000
Approximately 5,400 units were con
structed in other European coun

is suggested that all circumstances
and other evidence be submitted to
him. Whether he will hold a hearing
at Oh near Wolf Point on this subject
we are not advised. These facts, how
ever, stand out beyond all question.
1. Our committee was advised by
the state highway commission that
the Wolf Point road from the bridge
had been approved by the federal
government and for that reason
could not be changed.
2. The contract for the construction
of this road was let in the fall of 1928
before any right of way had been OBJ
! tanned.
The law requires that in laying out
a road across Indian lands that sur
vey must be made and submitted to
the superintendent of the agency for
approval. That the agent is then re-
uuired to examine the road and either
approve or disapprove of it. In this
case no survey was ever submitted
to Supt. Eggers either before or after
the letting of the contract util some
time in the spring of 1929 after 1t was
ascertained that there was opposition
to the road.
The survey was submitted to the
federal bureau of roads by the high
way commission of Montana without
the approval of Mr.. Eggers as super
intendent of the agency, which pro-
cedure was contrary to law. The bu-
reau then suggested that changes be
made in said proposed line of road anC

Simplicity in the tractor you buy

This quality means easier opera

fewer repairs to buy, less trouble,

it means longer life.

all working parts operate in a con-

From engine to drawbar, the
John Deere is simple, but pow

that the John Deere is actually
