THEY SHALL NOT PASS . . With r.ew model automobiles that will skeet down the road at 00 miles per hour, and trucks as big as barns hogging the middle of the road at 70 miles per hour, the outlook for our undertakers is fine. . .

The railroads themselves are partially to blame for our highways being made railroads. They refused to reduce rates and furnish proper service, and try to compete for about 10 years,' ^nd finally, when they woke up. the trucks and buses had all of the business and all of the roads and two-thirds of the political pull. . .
