Turther startling developments in the automobile industry and the use of motors is predicted by 0. Coolican, president of P.-W. Motors, Incorpo- rated, Washington representative of the Vackard car.

C, JULY 1 e Ty , 1923—PART 3. i, —_——————— e INevada Senator Charges Bad Faith to Utah in Road Program Oddie Says State Let Neighbor Go Ahead on Lincoln Highway and Then Refused Her Own Share. It remains to be seen just how far the old question of state's rights, carefully guarded in the phraseology of the federal highway act, will en- able the state of Utah, located in the path of all transcontinental traffic, to control through her policy of road bullding the pathway to be followed and, in the ultimate, the destination of all the future's vast flow of through traflc. It remalns to be seen just where Utah's state rights end and those of Nevada begin, and to just what extent the interest of America as a whole and of traffic across the Union can be sateguarded when one state uses its soverelgn rights to play a lone hand for a selfish pur- pose, of both of these roads as quickly as possible. Both are highly important transcontinental highways, serving most useful and necessary purposes in the development of our western country. The state of Utah has taken the stand that it will only complete the Victory highway via Wendover and will abandon the Lincoln highway connection via Ibapah, States Took Money. “I will not comment on what has been referred to in the testimony be- fore you as to the motive which ha Impelled Utah to announce its aban- donment of the Lincoln highway. Tt is a matter of history that Utah ac- cepted money from the Lincoln High- way Association and spent it on the Lincoln highway in Utah. and Nevada accepted money from the same anso- ciation and spent it on its line through Nevada. The work of these ! two states has been carried on for | several vears simultaneously. both working toward the same point at the state line near Ibapah, with the idew of connecting there, and each state cognizant of what the other was doing. Hence 1 consider it neither | wise, right nor ethical for Utah to abandon this road after having al- lowed the state of Nevada and the Lincoln Highway Assoclation to spend money_in Nevada on the ssumption that Utah would connect up with that roud at the state line. Utsh had o | intended to wbandon fhis road. she the Nevadalshould have 5o notified Nevada & long the assocla- | time wgo, but she did not do so. “Utlah's contention is that it will | save money by abandoning this Lin- coln highway route that has been par- tially completed. Her idea is to com- pel Nevada to build a new road to take its place from Wendover to Shellbourne, a distance of about ciglity-five ‘miles, which will cost about $900,000—a road which will scrve practically nobody along its en- | tire length, which is undesired by} Nevada, and which will be unsatis- factory’ and probably not built for many years.

ODDIE. Motive of Utah. Senator Oddle in his letter to Sec- retary Wallace stated that he did not intend to comment on the motl which impelled Utah to announce § bandonment of the Lincoln highwa: Utah's motive Is not only obvious, but has been frankly stated by Governor Charles R. Mabey, who. in an inter- view published in the Salt Lake City Telegram on May 26, pointed out how the construction of the Lincoln high- way in western Utah would damage the Interests of central and southern Utah by allowing traffic the shorter and cooler route into Los Angeles by way of Ely, Nev., whereas the omis- sion of this link would compel all trafic into southern California to traverse the counties of central and southern Utah on its way to Los An- geles. The governor did not point out that the forcing of this traffic down through Utah, while to the advantage of the central and southern parts of his state, was to the extreme disad- vantage of the travel, once it left the state of Utah and embarked on the 400 miles of Mohave desert in Ari- zona, Nevada and southern California lying between St. George, Utah, and San Barnardino. Utah's interest in the traffic. which is forced by topography through that state, it has been made clear, is lim- ited to the amount of time the state can restrain the trafic within its horders and by he amount of money that traf is thereby forced to leavi within that state. Fate Undetermined. In approving the state’'s project for the construction of & northern cross- ing of the desert, connecting with the Nevada line ut Wendover, Secretary Wallace impressed the point that his approval of such construction . does not “prohibit a reasonable adjui ment of the conflicting interests In- volved.” "Just what “rearonable ad- Jjustment” in_connection with the in- terests of Nevada and all future through trafc to the coast is con- templated, the Secretary has not yet announced, and the fate of the Lin- coln way as & great transcontinental highway is still indeterminate. The approval of the more northern route across the Great Salt Lake des- ert by Secretary Wallace and the ul- timate construction of that section, which will require several years and many hundreds of thousands of dol- lurs, has served only to remove from the question the issue as to whether that road across the desert will be built, The problem now left before the Secretary for consideration is the clean-cut one: “Will the Lincoln highway in western Utah be con- structed or not?" Even those along the northern route through Nevada understand and appreclate central Nevada's need for a Lincoln highway connection. In her determined stand to abandon the Lincoln highway the state of Utah has not a friend in Nevada. Locusts Have Pedigree.
