HIGHWAY BUILDING
HELD RAILROAD AID
Lines Benefited Also by Car.
rying of Autos, Trucks
and Parts.
BY ALFRED H. SWAYNE,
Vice President Of National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce


While automobile production during
1882 was conducted at low levels, rec
ords indicate that the aggregate ship
ping Of cars, trucks, gasoline, oil and
materials incident to highway trans
portation was nevertheless a greater
sustaining factor to railroads than was
the freight traf1c Of any other indus
try.
Pending final figures, it is estimated
that traffic contributed by highway
transportation sources in 1882 increased
from 1872 per cent to 1875 per cent OF
the total.
In other words, assuming that per
carload revenue on this automotive
freight approXimated the average for
other classiflcations, then it can be said
that almost one out of every eight
dollars Of revenue freight during the
year was from traffic created by high
way transportation.
Shipments of motor vehicles, parts,
fuel and highway materials for the
year are estimated at 2,570,0CO carloads,
which returned to the rail carriers an
income Of approximately S324,285 900.
BY volume this indicates a loss Of
approximately 18 per cent in revenue
from these classifications from the pre-
ceding year.
In terms of carload traffic originated,
the motor and allied industries have
contributed steadily increasing per-
Centage of the manufactures and mis-
cellaneous" commodity classifications
during the last four years. In 1929 au
tomotive freight in that general class
represented % per cent of the total car
loads of manufactured and miscellane-
GUS products. in 1880 "a per cent. in
1881 20 per cent and in 1882 81 per
cent.
$4,000 Carloads.
The shipments of completed auto
mobiles, trucks, parts and tires during
the year represented a movement OF
232, 900 carloads
Rail shipments of gasoline used by
motor vehicle operators amounted to
1,2lo,000 carloads as compared with
100000 carloads last year.
The fact that gasoline movement was
maintained at such a high level is an
other indication of the extent to which
the public has continued to use its
highways despite the obstacles raised by
the depression.
Another example of this same point
is found in the fact that shipments OF
cement, asphalt, brick and other ma
terials used in highway construction
held fairly well. This reflects the con-
tinuation of highway construction pro-
grams made possible by the taxes re-
ceived from motor vehicle owners which
took place during the year.
This was also due in part, to the
recognition that such forms of public
work afforded practical opportunities
for mitigating the unemployn ent dis
tress in many communities.
The following table shows the esti-
mated number of carloads of traffic
which the railroads received from the
transportation of freight derived from
the motor vehicle industry and other
highway sources during 1882:

rising quotations for the present crop
have cheered growers, but the higher
tobacco costs, along with rising wages,
probably are sounding the death knell
Of the Scent cigar.
Sales of lower-priced cigars. ciga-
rettes, smoking and chewing tobacco
have increased in the last two months
because Of the uptrend Of employment.
The repeal Of prohibition Is expected to
return the higher-priced cigar to favor.
Meanwhile, the trade reports holiday
buying slow, with cigarettes moving in
fair volume, but cigars and novelties
tagging.
Christmas Ban Denied.
Several leaders Of the tobacco indus
try today vigorously denied to this re-
porter that the industrial codes banning
the giving of presents at holidays were
intended to forbid giving box Of
cigars at Christmas" The use OF cigars
as gifts runs into hundreds of thou
sands. Some of the large industrial cor
porations, which in the past brought
and customers, are reported to have told
cigar salsemen this year that their codes
forbade presents.
Leaf tobacco, besides furnishing the
raw material for the manufacturing to-
bacco industry, whose products exceed
81 900, 900 900 In value annually, ranks
second in value Of American exports,
being surpassed only by cotton. Hence
the higher tobacco prices being paid to
growers come not from this Nation
alone, but from los countries through
out the world.

Hitler Regime
IS the Tool Of
Big Landlords

BERLIN, Germany. - A few
months ago an appeal was address
sed to the large landowners Of
Germany by the East Prussian
president, Kube, begging them to
donate land without remuneration
for settlement purposes. 1t will
be remembered that since June
all the leading heads of the Ma
tional Socialist Party have declar-
ed again and again that not an
inch of the ground of the great es-
tates is to be touched.
Kube's appeal is a miserable
attempt to conceal from the mass
es of the peasantry the fact that
the policy of the Naional Socialist
Party supports the junkers (big
landOwners). The original Nazi
program promised that the large
estate are to be divided up. Kube's
appeal has brought the following
result: A number of the owners
of large and small estates have
declared their willingness to grant
tracts Of land gratis. The tota
area Of these gifts is 1904 acres
AS the total area of land owned
by the German junkers is abou'
61h million acres, this free gift
represents about one-fifth Of ont
per cent of the land owned.
