HOW MOTOR TRUCKS
i UN LOWER H. C. L
"Of every dollar paid by the average
'consumer for meat, milk, bread and io
tati.ii-.- Kill:. 1'J cents go":-, to the pix-
i ducer." says the Illinois Agricultural
! association in reporting the findings
i of a recent investigation.
The cause of this increasing differ
, once between the price to the farmer
and cot to the consumer, according to
R L. Fulton, of the International Mo-
tor company, lies chiefly in the con
centrattpn ot population in large cities
and the resulting negregatiom of the
lanu -l Mr. Fulton suggests tno im
provement of highways, which will en
courage the use of motor trucks and
bring the farmer nearer to his mar
( ket. as the only logical rem' ii.
'Years ago," he says, "when the
i farmer drove to town With his load of
! egg, they cost less than ten cents a
dozen and the consumer received them
Iresh from the farm. Now, the growth
j of cities has pushed him back many
I miles from the city markets v.ith the
! result that he must ship them to the
itv by rail where they are put in
cold storage and delivered to the con
sumer months later at a price that has
: already passed the eighty cent mi.rk.
"Of course, monetary inflation has
had a great deal to do with the in
I creased price, but there is no reason
why thi.-. difference between the price
' paid to the farmer and that paid by
the consumer cannot be diminished by
the improvement of highways and usi
Ol motor trucks to bring the farmer
back to his old proximity to the mar-
ket.

roads In the I'nlted States, yet. only
12 per cent of this total or 299,135
miles, are improved with some form
of .surfacing. The roads are poorest
where good roads are needed most.
This is evidenced b the fact that
Iowa, one of the states reputed to have
the worst roads, has more trucks per
capita than any other state in the
union. This, together with the fact
that the farmer is the biggest user of
motor trucks, proves that he is trying
his best to reduce the high xost of liv
ing although he is severely handicap
ped b the lack of proper highway
facilities.
"Legislation that discourages the
' farmer In his efforts, whether it be
insutficient appropriations for high
ways or any discrimination againsl
the motor truck is contrary to the best
interests of the people for whom he is
the source of livelihood."
