hill climb were so numerous that he
could have sold many cars from that
race alone had he been able to secure
delivery from the factory.
1t Is just as safe to say that If the
track were here-and it would be a
profitable investment for capital as
suggested by The Herald of yesterday
in the motordrome prOposition-We
have in Los Angeles today as skilled,
as fast, as heady and brainy racing
drivers in Free, Livingstone, Hanshue,
Siefert, Nikrent and others The Herald
has in mind who are "comers," as ever
the east produced. Give them the
place to run, the cars to drive, the
money object the eastern men have
and for which Dingley went east, then
bring on any of the eastern drivers and
see IL the city of Los Angeles hasn't
got the drivers of the country, and The
Herald believes she has.
The old chestnut is sprung by the
weary, What does buyer want with
q ear that races?" Nothing in the
world. When you go to buy piano,
however the dealer gives you demon
stration of the instrument with which
you are to grace your parlor or music
room. If it is a rattle trap you pass
1t up. If the wires are ill-tuned or ILL
made you do not buy it. This is the
age of demonstration. prove it," says
the man with the coin ready to pur-
chase. A car standing i'm full dress on
tiled floors with gilt and brass and
horns and speedometers, and enough
paraphernalia to equip the engine room
of a transatlantic steamer looks beau
tiful, but the man with the automobile
bug says: "Will the car bring me back
after have the start? I don't want a
car TO carry me eighty miles an hour,
but ] do love to know that the other
fellow can't poke cinders in my eyes,
too" It's human nature. Has been
since the beginning of time. VIII be
when time ends.
Speaking of Bert DingIey
While these remarks belong properly
to the article on this page concerning
the classification of racing drivers, to
make IL more emphatic so far as it
may emphasize the reference well in
tended to Bert Dingley as Americas
greatest automobile driver, The Her
aid prefers to give separate utterance
to a series of facts that sets at naught
the "space dopers" of the east.
There are two boys in Los Angeles,
quiet and unassuming, who rarely ever
appear in public notice except when
they "do something" known as the
Nikrent brothers-Nick and Joe. Both
are mechanics of the highest skill
DOtn are fearless, coOl, Heduy uiiNeIs.
Both ride together when they are en-
tered i'm any meet. They work like
piece of machinery together A strange
noise occurs to them-either knows as
quickly as the other what it is. Both
are at it in a jiffy. Nick does most
of the driving and all the race track
driving, while Joe attends to the bust
ness end of the automobile and Nick
acts as engineer and pilot.
They stick to the Buick machine like
a fly to tanglefoot. Let us see about
records a minute and see If accom-
plishment counts for anything.
Nick Nikrent has been entered in
seventy-five events and won sixty-five
of these. Pretty close to 80 per cent
he has been a winner. is 1t not?
Will the classification committee
kindly produce a similar record of their
eastern drivers?

1T never HURT
WASHINGTON Oh.
CITY HAS BEEN WITHOUT sA.
LOOMS 4 YEARS, YET TAXES
REDUCED THREE TIMES.

Washington. Ohio. March 24.-There
is, perhaps, no official in Ohio better
qualified to speak of the effects of the
loss of the saloon tax upon munich
pality than City Auditor James J..
Flynn. of this city, nor is there any
whose opinion should have more
weight as to how the city authorities
should proceed after the saloons have
been voted out.
This city has sustained the loss
from the tax of % saloons. which were
voted out four years ago, and yet the
municipal taxes have been reduced
three times since that time, and the
finances of the city were never so
good as at present, while the salaries
of city officials are large than they
ever were and city improvements and
repairs have been going on right
along. The bonded Indebtedness of
the city is virtually the same as when
the city was wet, and it has not been
necessary to issue bonds to pay delin-
quent water and light rents as was
done the year before the city went dry.
AS large number of the municipal
tiles of the state are Cup in the air.
so to speak, because by recent cleo
tions their respective cities and towns
have become dry and they are now
compelled to meet financial conditions
without the aid of the saloon tax, the
writer called upon Auditor Flynn to
ascertain from him how the city
finances of Washington have been SO
successfully managed that the city is
now enabled to make showing which
has never, so far as is known, been ex.
celled.
