At the Jefferson day dinner giv-
en- by the national democratic club
of New York Tuesday, in honor of
Richard Croker, former Tammany
leader, who is about to return to
Ireland, the principal speakers were
Governors Harmon, of Ohio, Mar
shall, of Indiana, and Senator Cham
berlain, Of Oregon. All of them had
something to say about the tariff
thinkers at Washington. Said Har-
mon: Instead of seeking methods
of retrenchment to meet present
confessed deficit of more than $780,
100000, the president and congress
are devising additional taxes to ex-
act from the diminished means of
the people and are preparing to issue
bonds besides. After twelve
years of false pretenses at last con-
fessed, which had bred and fattened
countless monopolies and trusts, it
is proposed not to shake off their
grip, but just to loosen it trifle
here and there. so the people may
not be utterly devoured." His con-
clusion was that the reduction would
be but "a mockery of the cry for re-
lief and that the only could be ex-
pected from congress and a pres
ident enforcing Jeffersonian princi-
pies by dealing with taxation as
primary means of public revenue and
not of public gain. Governor Mar
shall spoke in similar vein.. saying
that the present revision was that of
hungry band of seekers for special
privilege and that the hour has
come to change coats. Senator
Chamberlain voiced the aspirations
Of the Pacific Slope democracy"

Farmers Buy Automobiles.

When the motor vehicle was first
put on the market it was regarded
as a new tangled notion that would
soon become obsolete. 1t was re-
garded with less consideration as a
practical and general utility than the
science of aviation that predicts the
world is soon to realize practical
aerial navigation. The possibilities
of invention are still unexpected
and what may be achieved by air.
ships and motor vehicles is still an
unsolyed problem.
The fears of breeders of horses
that if the automobiles proved sue
cess they would herald horseless
age have been dissipated by witness
ing the steady increase in the num-
Der of horses with the phenomenal
growth of the motor vehicle indus
try. The demand for transporta-
ton facilities increases even faster
than the population. The growth of
manufacture, the expansion Of agri-
culture and the increase of the leis-
ure class demand greater and more
rapid transportation appointments.
The cannon ball flyer and the lin
tied express are operated to gain on
ly sho.t interval of time over the
schedule OF the old passenger traf-
fic service when every train perform
ed the functions OF through and To-
cal service.
The automobile is destined to be
popular with the farmers, as dts
great speed economies time. With
the husbandman, time is money and
a saving of few hours in trip to
market often means financial success
to the farmer. Every up-to-date ru-
raj home is equipped with telephone
service and rural free delivery, and
the Introduction of automobiles into
rural communities breaks down an
other barrier which separates city
from country people.
The operation of automobiles in
the country will prove powerful
incentive for the betterment of pub
lie highways. The motor vehicle is
no more menace to the horse in
dustry than was the introduction OF
steam railways which heralded the
rapid development of agriculture
and manufacture by affording in
creased facilities to market the pro-
ducts of the soil and the output OF
the factories. The horse emancipat-
ed from the long haul of products to
market, and relieved from the stren-
uous service of passenger and mail
coach traffic by the steam railroads,
found more lucrative employment in
other industries, which increased
his value and augmented the de-
mand. The automobile either as a
general utility vehicle or pleasure
touring car, is no greater rival Of the
horse than urban electric lines rival
steam railroads. With all the cleo
trio and steam transportation facil-
tiles the public is clamoring for i'm
provement Of inland waterways to
|enlarge traffic facilities. II every
farmer owned an automobile it would
not depriciate the value of horses or
decrease their use in national indus
tries.

MAN
ASKS JUDGMENT
FOR LARGE sum

RENO, Jan. ga suit was filed
today by F. A. Virtue, mining man
of Fairview, against the Nat c. Good
win Brokerage company, asking
judgment against that company in
the sum of $3.50, alleged to be due
him as damages sustained for the
failure of the company to perform
several contracts with reference to
the delivery of 5000 shares of Raw
hide Coalition stock to himself and
other parties, and the damages sus-
tanned by others for the alleged fail
ure to perform the contract having
been assigned to Virtue
Virtue alleges that during the
month of September the'Nat G. Good
win company as parties of the second
part signed a certain agreement with
himself, Alex Fawcett, Nv. H. Gel
storpe, w. w. Edwards, James Dun
ply and the Fairview Reliance Min
ing company as parties of the first
part, wherein they were to deliver
! 1000 shares of stock in the Rawhide
Coalition Mining company as soon as
the indebtedness existing on that
should incur between Dunphy, Ed
! wards and the Fairview Reliance
Mining company and the Nat G
Goodwin company should be salts
fed. Similar agreements it is alleg
ed were made by the terms of which
the brokerage company was to de
| liver 1000 shares of stock to Alel
Fawcett, 1000 shares each of thu
Rawhide Coalition to Dunphy ant
/ Edwards. The complaint allege
that the Indebtedness was satisfied
shortly after the contract was signed
but that tire brokerage company re
fused to deliver the stock accordin;
to the agreement. The complain
further alleges that the brokerag
company was possessed of the stool
and could have delivered it, but tina
it used the stock to it's own benefit
The stock was all to be deposited i
trust until January | of this year.
The plaintiff alleges that he ra
several opportunities, to dispose o
the stock promised to him at prof
and that the other parties had sin
liar opportunities, but that the
were unable toado so by reason of tn
failure of the brokerage company
carry out it's contracts.
Virtue asks judgment for 1924
for each block of 1000 shares an
500 for each block of $1,000 share
He is represented by Summerfiel
and Curler.
