Taser s Plea
(Contributed)
Finally the voices of the-fotorist and the taxpayer are
being heard in California. The movement to save our highways from over-commercialization is today spreading rapidly throughout the State.
1» Whether or not anything will come of the plea depends
entirely on those state officials who have control of such matters. But certainly the motorist and the taxpayer have at least
two good reosans for raising the hue and cry.
Obviously, the taxpayer doesn’t want to put out money
building roads that are prematurely worn out by an excess of
Fett
heavy passenger and freight carrying vehicles. Obviously, the
Motorist doesn’t want to be virtually crowded off the highway by ereat fleets of such vehicles.
On the other hand, it is absolutely necessary aie farmer and many others to have adequate highway transportation. But objection is confined only to the excess, and to the
alarmingly rapid increase.
In 1923 there were 43,257 trucks on the road in Cale
fornia. In 1924 the figure jumped to 193,871. During the
years 1925 to 1929 it rose to 217,413. The following year
trucks onthe road increased to 230,387. By 1931 there were
245,213. .\
Thus official registration figures show that in eight years
they increased 201,956. If they increase as rapidly during the
next eight years, by 1942 we should have about 442,000
trucks on our highways.
With such a huge fleet, if we put 14 people in each carrier, the entire population of California could be moved out
of the state in one trip! 4
If one tries to imagine what motoring would be like on
highways used by this many of the heavy vehicles, or what
road upkeep would cost, he can readily understand the plea
_of the taxpayer and the motorist. =)

Less frequently, now that recovery is under way, do we
hear the phrases that lay bare the bitter core of such a phenomenon as~ ‘depression’ in a world so capable of producing
an over-abundance of everything. Such words as. “starvation
amid plenty,’ or “bfeadlines knee deep in wheat’’ no longer
sprinkle the pages of newspapers.
Yet today, economists told, us recently, a great majority
of American people are living on second and third class diets
—are not getting enereh food, or food of good guality.
The tragedy of this soe clalion . is all too apparent. Not
quite so obvious, however, is the promise this fact whispe:s
of a new day's dawning in the not too far distant future: [+
emphasizes something we are all too prone to fozet; nam>
that markets are not glutted, that demand is not, satiated, an
that the American standard of living has never approached
what it someday will be.
If everyone lived on a first class diet of proper feed in
proper Beans, business would soar some threefold or fourfold in lines‘engaged in the gigantic task of feeding America
. —and that means some 21 per cent of all economic activity
~ of the nation.
If everyone ee even the minimum in the way of modern comforts and conveniences, business in-all lines would
_ swell to many times its present level.
Reminders of this sort from time to time are valuable,
lest .ve tire of the incessaré struggle and endless discussion
of tedious efforts to adjust our economic structure. We must
rememeber that all the machinery is there, and that by fitting
it together properly we can boost the American standard of
Jjiving beyond anything you ever conceived in your fondest
dreams.
A veritable flood of Ekan: a veritable flood of money
_ into our government treasuries at lower tax rates; balanced
budgets all around; and best of all a happy, well-fed populace
with moments of leisure and the where-withal to enjoy them.
What a golden goal it is!

Great Homer’s Fame
_When old Homer, poor and seedy,
Shuffled down the village street,
No one called, “‘hello there Homer,”
‘No one ran to guide his feet;
No one took him to the circus,
No one offered him a ride,
Not a she in Asia Minor
Would consent to be his bride.
Some there were who tendered largess
Tempered with a frosty smile; _
No one said, ““come on in Homer,
Sit and rest your. bones awhile.”
No one fashioned gleaming haloes
To adorn great Homer’s head—
But, the fuss folks made about him
-When the man was safely dead!
Seven cities claimed his birthplace,
ores declared he wrote his books
hile ensconced as guest of honor
In their cosy ingle-nooks;
Thousands praised his wit and wisdom,
Grace cf mind and strength of limb;
Many maidens boasted coyly :
Of their love. affairs with him.

“Have you read the year's best seller?”
Cultured matrons used to say;
“Dear, the Odyssey’s a thriller,
And so charmingly risque!”
Marble statues were erected
To perpetuate his fame,
All the Grecian isles united
To immortalize his name.
-But . wonder; doessgreat Homer
Haunt old highways now and then,
Making crisp, satiric comments
On the curious ways of men?
