THE PIKE'S PEAK HIGH WAT What, Is the Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway worth to you and your community? How much more will this Value bo Increased If this road Is designated by the State Highway Commission as one of the prima ry roads? We do know, that the people living along some of the other proposed cross-state highways are making a Difference.

-7 Considering the large number of Important improvements that bare been made, tho latest sharp reductions In tljo prices of Dodge Brothers Car actually bring them down below the pre-war level, according to W. Erwln the local dealer. To substantiate bis contention he pointed first to the car and then' to three closely typewritten pages on which some of these Improvements were "The automotive- Industry deserves a lot of credit for the way It Is going after the price question," said' Mr. Erwln "I am not referring to Dodge Brothers alone, even though I believe they have done more than their share, but to the industry as a whole If manufacturers and retailers in all other lines had taken a similar attitude the public would have been disabused of the profiteering idea long ago and buying would have been back on a normal basis much sooner. I know the public appreciates this, from the way automobiles are selling.

''I ran across an editorial the other day which expressed my opinion exactly. It was tho Denver Times. I am quite sure that your readers will agree with what it says If you publish it." Following Is the portion of the editorial to which Mr. Erwln referred: Uot of fuss with meetings and publi city, making claims as to why their hlgltway should be one of the primary roads. While the officials of the Pikes Peak Highway Association In Missouri are confldent'fliat this highway will be deslgnatedspue, pf primary roads, they do not Want to leave anything undone to establish the Importance of our road.

A census of the travel will show which roads aro carrying the traffic and the traffic will go where the roads are good. We want our road so established as main artery of travel that no other highway can be considered. The selection of the roads to be hard surfaced will soon be made and it Is generally understood that en-gineers from the Federal Highway Department are now In the state mak-Ingj a survey of the roads and will iAc MBit, rAnnmmendatloffs to Ithe' Wto Highway of tho.
