BRISCOE SAYS HORSE MUST GQ Aato Man Predicts Hag's Snbstltntlon hy Machine Now a ThtnaT at Business. "More opportunities are offered for ths promoter along automobile lines than in any other field today said Benjamin, Briscoe, president of the American Motor Car Manufacturers' association and presi dent and general manager of tha Maxwell 13 rise oe company, manufacturers of Max well machine, who Is In Omaha. "I havs been looking over ths west with a view of Investigating the field and havs found places so numerous that It is really be wildering, as one does not know which Ig ths best. The mines all need motor cars, as those situated ten and twenty mileg from ths railroads are burning up their money by the use of mules. Towns sit-. uated off the railroad need a motor service,' for that Is ths cheapest and best. "Tha most Interesting feature of automtv blllng today la Its development In A com mercial way, both for freight and passen ger service. For the life of me, I cannot see what Is going to prevent the passags Of the horse within ths next five, years. Ths taximeter iaa already nearly driven him from the streets of Paris and today there are 1.500 taximeters In use. A com pany Is being organised to put them on the streets of New York. Taximeter means measuring the distance you ride. I think the pries for New York will bs 40 cents for the first half mils and cents for each! eighth of a mils thereafter, making tha mile 60 cents and two miles tl. "Ths possibility of the motor trucks snd the opportunities offered for the develop ment of .the use of them In tbs west is enormous. Thsy would cost less than one half what the mules cost at ths mines. Automobile lines will goon bs developed where people formorly worked for ths trol ley. "The problem Is now, and hss hsen fop sums time, to supply automobiles, but so. many nsw factories are being built that new fields will havs to be developed for their use. Ws are building 8,600 auto mobiles this year and sold just that many, to our dealers, but these dealers ars not satisfied with that and ars selling twlos As many ss thsy havs, and ws ars working In double shifts to try to supply the de mand."
