• 1 BATTLE OF
i HE TIRES
j
i
l
| [Agricultural and Commercial Press Service]
it is interesting to watch the forces
I 01 civilization battling for supremacy.
I F he struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire pYomises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen¬
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
; write vivid descriptions of the con¬
flict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen¬
erations than the war of Europe.
1 he rubber tire has been maneuver¬
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim¬
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurling a mil¬
lion “jitneys” at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re¬
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the un¬
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1814, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. It took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys¬
ses. The roadbed was already pre¬
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov¬
ery.
The rubber tire first made its ap¬
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma¬
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to waft into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvelous differ¬
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every man’s door,
why a city? It will traverse the con¬
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule¬
vard built by Napoleon. It will par¬
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?
