AUTO BUSINESS is
INCREASING FAST
This Year 1t VIII BE 40 Per Cent Above
That of Last Year, According to
Manufacturers Prediction

That of Last ear According TO
Manufacturers Prediction
Leading automobile manufacturers
prerict that this years business viii
show an increase Of more than 40 per
cent over that of 1912. Makers Of
standard cars generally state that sales
have. opened up bigger than ever be-
fore and that in several instances the
entire output of 1913 models viii be eA-
hausted within a short time.
An accurate and detailed report com
piled by a leading motor company,
shows business to be unusually SOOq.
The increase set forth in this report y
not confined to certain sections, sales
being uniformly large all over the
country. Even in Ohio and Nebraska
Wher flood and tOrnadOes have nandl-
capped business heavily, the report
shows sales to be running far ahead
of last year.
Although the company's dealers in
New York, Philadelphia, RIttsDuIss
Boston Chicago, san Francisco St
Louis and other large cities report a
substantial gain, the best indication OF
growth of the business is shown BY the
sales in the average size towns OF
instance in the middle west DaYen-
port Iowa shows a gain of 20 per cent
Sioux City. ~ per cent; Waterloo, iowa
63 per cent; Akron, O.. SO per cent.
Columbus o., 5S per cent; Lima, u, %
per cent: Bloomington, Ill, 50 per cent
Milwaukee. Wis, 40 per cent Eau
Claire wis. A per cent and Green
Bay A per cent.
In the south Memphis is IS per cent
ahead Macon. Ga, 81 per cent Cnar-
lOtte, n c., 81 per cent Roanoke, a..

has a gain of % per cent; spokane 81

and Phoenix, SO per cent
"One of the chief reasons Tor the
increased popularity of motor cars ~
the reduction in the upkeep cost IN
standard cars says this firm saL1s
manager Five or six years ago WnsLl
automobiles had not reached IheLI
present state of perfection, frequent re-
pairs and OverhaUungs were necessslI.
to keep a car running Well INA
stage is past now. however, and in a
good cara car that is built rlgnL u
the beginning. the upkeep cost IS az
most negligible Gasoline cOnsump llOL'
has been cut down IN the better cars,
. and repairs, aside from an OccaslO MAJ
puncture are exceptional
1T would be absurd to say that TINS
holds true with all cars A cheap--
made car. of necessity has not the oess
materials and the parts cannot staHI
the strain Of constant usage like those
Of a standard machine. Statistical IN
formation on the growth OF the auto
mobile industry shows that the buyers
are doing less experimenting each se--
son with cars which lack the DachlIis
Of a reputable builder. This IS Jne
case. not only with people who can az

but with all classes of motor car Duy-
ers."

Dec. !, for national aid to vocational
education The resolution grants au-
thority to the commission to make such
Investigations into local conditions of
the respective states as they deem
necessary, the entire expense of the
commission not to exceed $4,000 It
will be remembered that Senator Page
was the author OF the vocational edu-
cational bill which failed in confer
ence between the two houses OF Con-
gross, after a long fight, at the last
session Of Congress. His bill provided
for liberal federal aid for the estab-
lishment of vocational education
schools in cooperation with the various
states. IN view of his particular know
ledge of the subject, of which he has
made special study, it is not consid
cred at all unlikely that Senator Page
will be given prominent place ON
this commission by the President.

Especial Reformer Correspondence /
WASHINGTON, D. c., June -
Senator Dillingham; is already receiv-
ing a large number of letters comment
ing upon the scheme incorporated in
the immigration bill recently intro
duced by him, limiting the number of
aliens admitted annually from any
country to 10 per cent Of the total
number Of natives of that country
domiciled IN the United States 1t IS
expected by those who have made q
study of the question that, should the
scheme be incorporated into law, 1t
would make more complete the accom-
plishment of the purposes of literacy
test, which was the storm center OF
the last immigration bill and which re-
suited in the veto of the bill by Pres
ident Taft, and at the same time to
do away with the objections raised by
the opponents of the iteracv test.
The fight for a Iiteracy test requ1r-
ing every alien coming to the United
States to be able to read some Ian
ouage was a long and bitter one at
the last session of Congress. The
scheme was strongly attacked by peo-
| pie who opposed it on sentimental
| grounds and it also met the opposition
/ of many who failed to recognize the
significance of the recommendation of
/ the immigration Commission when it
advanced the literacy test as the most
/ feasible of the different methods which
1 had then been suggested to reduce the
volume Of immigrants coming from
southern and southeastern Europe and
/ finding their way to the thickly popu
! lated districts in the United States to
| secure employment as unskilled labor
ers at the bottom of the list of all en-
/ ployes in the great basic industries OF
/ the country. 1t was misunderstood
because its primary object was not to
select a higher grade of intelligence,
| rs so many believed, but to meet and
remedy the situation as it applied to
the interests of our own working men
in the industries mentioned. The point
was this-that over so per cent OF our
immigrants came from southern and
eastern Europe or western Asia. The
immigrants coming from those coun
tries show high per cent of illiteraey
1t was that class that was oVercrowd
ing unskilled labor in the basic indus
tries, making it impossible for the
American working man to compete will
I
to the standards of this country HC
could not compete because this class Of
unskilled alien laborers chose to ;
large extent to live according to tn,
standards of the countries from whicl
they came thus taking advantage o
our wage scales without adopting GU
American methods of life. The Hitter
aey test was aimed at the particuIa
classes which were doing the damag
and it seemed to remedy the situation
Senator Dillingham; is gratifed b
the fact that the new method has tn
+. endorsement of the retiring commits
sioner general Of immigration, DAME
J. Keefe, and that Of other person
= who have made a special study of tn
= immigration problem. The bill cover
4 practically all the other provisions c
& the one that failed on account of tn
