Vanderlip, autho- rities whose intelligence nor in-| tegrity will be question, with the! same announcemnet in regard to, curbing hiza prices and restor- ing the world to a stable condi- tion again. The message of | each is the same as that- sent | forth by others: atl must work, | work hard, work efficiently and} increase production. . | ‘There are other elements per-| fz thaps that contribute to the high; | cost. of living buc ieeal ee preduction is the basiz evil. Te demand for move production is not a new one. Back in 1907] when the first compiaints| against the high cost of liv began to find universal hea the late James J. a who | iny. put the cosi of high living” i that was responsible uttered aj) truth that seems to have heen | ov>rlooked. | He called attention te the faet that while the population cf the cities and towns had increased | more than 15 per cent in a stat- | ed period rural population had) increased but three per cent and | furthermore food production} had increased consideral'e less | than the urban population. | He was a strong supporter of | “back to the land” movement | and the burden of his lay was | “produce more.” He was right | then and likewise Hoover and | Vanderlip are right. . What is} needed is greater pr ‘oduction and | every man who is idle is not only individually responsible for high | prices but is also lending his heip toward sending them higher.—| Wallace Press Times. | FINDING TRUCKS’ EFFECT ON ROADS | To determine the destructive | effect of heavily loaded alto | trucks on highways and streets, and to meet the demand for data on the design of road surfaces and foundations to withstand such heavy traffic, a series of experiments is being conducted | by the Bureau of Public Roads, | United States Department of | Agriculture, at the Arlingtor| Experimental Farm to determine | the impact of auto trucks on roads. The most striking single d--} velopment in the highway fietc | in 1918 was the tremendous in- | crease in motor truck traffic. | Five years ago heavy motor trucks were few in number and limited practically entirely to the paved streets of larger cities. These vehicles now comprise} probably 4 to 5 per cent of the grand total of all motor vehicles | and are to be found wherever | traffic conditions permit profi- | table use. But. very few roads | were designed to carry any large | }volume of this class of traffic. | Consequently, the cost of ade- | suate maintenance was increased | greatly during the year. fn] many places the damage due to| the incessant pounding of these fast and heavy vehicles was so | reat as to require complete con- struction. When more people put their | money into government bonds | and substantial securities in- stead of trying to make a for- tune over night by speculating | the high cost of living is due to | take a decided slump. —— Of course, the fact that all| persons who are called upon to pay high government taxes keep passing the same on to the ultl- | mate consumer may.have some- | thing to do with high prices. At least the idea sounds reasonable. | a The rumor that Ford is going | to get out an eight cylinder car, is still floating around and won’t be downed. Ford models of today are running on two cylinders most of the time, so it looks like the new models will have six useless cylnders—ano- ther American extravagance.— a Kendrick Gazette.
