II is hardly worth while TO refer

session. The agitation has done
good. County boards are going to

the people that the governor took up
with a fad reform, or that he wrote a
bill committing Iowa to a foolish or
bankrupting policy.

would more entitle IL to credit than
today. without any more debate than
was had over capitol ground enlarge
ment and with no more dissenting
voices. 70 take Governor Clarke's read

At a dinner in Detroit late in Febru
airy, n. A. Hawkins gave an interesting
talk in which he set forth details al
to what - meant by the making Of 200.
900 complete cars In twelve months
the output Of single maker in thai
city. Ten years ago this company was
capitalized At $4,000 and had an an
nual business Of only 100000. 1t !:
now the largest automobile factory II
$50, 100000, and Is selling each year
parts Of the world. Other items in Mr.
Hawkins remarks are given below as
reported in The Automobile:
Profits are equivalent to maximum
industrial earnings on capitalization
OF 5000, 900, and on this basis could
probably, before the twentieth ami
versary, return the equivalent of tht;
amount to its shareholders. The Janu-
airy sale of cars were nearly 100000
or more than twice the gross receipts
Of the Grand Trunk railway system foI
the same month. In the last fonr
months We did a business Of nearly
$50, 100000, and two of these four
months were no, very good ones.
THE company has all the elements
Of successful enterprise. 1t manu-
features a useful article; its company
is properly organized: 1t is amply
financed, entirely within ::self. TO sue
cessfully carry on its operations: its
business policy is clear and we'll de-
fined; It's management Is capable, tact
full. and honest; Its factory is well de-
signed. fully equipped. and suitably To-
Gated; its product is perfect in design
and quality; its selling force is effici-
ent, the largest Of its kind in the world
and backed by plain. honest advertis-
ing with complete service to owners.
The company is an organization OF
all young men. Not an executive head
has been added TO a single department
of the business in more than six years
during which period the output of cars
and annual sales have nearly doubled
each year. All this great business has
been built up from an original cash
