OUR CLAIMS

We make claims. Some Of them may
seem strong TO you-or rather, as strong
as those Of other automobile manufact-
urers.
But our claims are different in this re-
spect: We want you to prove what We
saw. We cannot think of anything fairtr.
In other words, we are willing to rest
our case with you. We respect your
Judgment. We let you be the judge.
And it is the best way of presenting
product to the public. The public
studies. The public investigates. The
public knows. People have watched the
development of the automobile industry.
They know car values.
And so, when we say that the Oakland
is the ideal car that the chassis represents
simplicity, strength and dependability'
and the body is very beautiful-we want
YOU to prove the things we say.
1t is this fair.minded policy that has
helped to make the Oakland the leader it
is today.

designs. SII5o to 1880, fully equipped

Be Consistent.

From its very foundation, this
paper has been an advocate OF
temperance, morality and clean
living and expects to continue
as such, but we are frank to con-
fess that in the recent election
we found ourselves like the Rev.
A. H. Hibshman, unwilling to
be led into the Republican camp,
merely because some saw fit to
attack a man of the high stand
ing and character Of our nomi-
nee, Hon. John A. Judy, on the
ground of intemperance.
AS a matter of fact he has al
ways been a consistent temper
ance supporter and to our per-
sonal knowledge has his first
drink OF whiskey to take in his
life. When such a man is at
tackled by political enemies, un-
der the guise of temperance, we
are reminded of the sentiments
uttered by the immortal Burns
and used by the Rev. Mark Col,
lis on his recent visit here:
God knows l am not what
should be,
Nor am I even what l could be
But twenty times l rather would
be,
An atheist clean
Than under gospel colors hid be
lust for a screen"

In our judgment, the most

city, took several copies OF the

lined them, over Mr.. Judy's sig
nature, to suit his purpose and
re-mailed them TO several voter:
in the country, thus committing
downright forgery. The author
Of this outrage, is known TO u:

wears and let the voters have {

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

1t will be noted from the advertise
ment in another column that the peo-
pie Of the state are to vote at the next
general election on the question of
amending the constitution so as to al
low the school district Of Yorkville to
vote bonds for school district purposes
in excess of per cent Of the assessed
value of the taxable property Of the
district.
The story Of this proposed amend
ment, as The Enquirer understands it,
though we want it distinctly under
stood that we have not been authorita-
lively advised from any public or pri-
vate source, is about this:
Shortly after the establishment Of
the Church Home Orphanage in York
vile and the perfection of an arrange
ment whereby the children Of the or
phanage were to have the privileges Of
the Graded school of Yorkville, it de-
yeloped that the capacity of the build
ing was somewhat taxed, and it be-
came apparent that it would in time
become necessary either to erect new
building, or erect additions to the pres
ent buildings.
With this idea in view bill was in
troduced in the Legislature in 1911, and
passed, authorizing the qualified vot-
ers of Yorkville School District No II,
to vote on the issue of bonds to the
amount Of not exceeding thirty-five
thousand dollars, or so much thereof
as might be necessary, for the purpose
described
Sometime after the passage Of this
act, il became necessary to market GER
tain bonds of the town, issued for the
purpose of installing Il filtration plant
and extending the water main; but the
bonds were not Immediately salable,
among other things, because of the
existence Of the act referred to above,
which undertook to authorize bonded
indebtedness that would exceed the
limits for the town and district, pre-
scribed in the constitution.
In order to relieve the embarrass-
ment of the municipal Indebtedness re-
ferred to, the act authorizing the vot-
ing of bonds for school district pur-
poses was repealed in 1912, and later
a joint resolution was passed, provid-
ing for vote Of the people of the
state on the proposed constitutional
amendment published elsewhere to-
day.
That this proposed constitutional
amendment will carry, is very proba-
BILE The experience with regard to
such propositions heretofore has been
that the people of the state, having no
opportunity for investigation, assume
that the amendment would not have
been submitted except at the request
of the people most concerned, vote
yes" and let it go at that.
In the event of the passage of this
amendment. there can OF course be no
bond issue until after an election has
been ordered by act of the legislature
and the proposed issue has been duly
ratified by vote of the people.

While the editor was in Columbia,
recently, he met gentleman whose
position gives him a very intimate
knowledge of the business of the vari-
Gus fertilizer companies that are oper-
ating i'm this country. He stated that
all of them are hard hit by the pre-
dicament in which cotton has been
caught and many of the smaller COM
panies will be unable to operate next
year even though there should be
as large demand for their goods as
usual. 1T is like this" he said. 1T
is not an unusual thing for a company
of 100000 capital to do $5OO,OOO
worth of business. They take the
farmers note for the fertilizers and
discount the note at the banks, and
sell more goods on the proceeds. or
course hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars of these notes will have to be car
ried over, and under the circumstan-
ces these companies will be unable to
get more money next year. The banks
will have to tell them, Your lines are
full The demand for fertilizers will
be smaller next year than it has been
this year, of course, and it will have
to be supplied by the larger and
stronger companies that already nave
about as much as they can carry.

40 matter what may be done to re-

ton crop. and no matter how success
ful that something may be, it should
be understood beyond question that

is not only possible. but perfectly
practicable to improve the cotton
market by holding cotton away from
the spnners: but such relief will be
temporary unless means are taken to
curtail production. When the cotton
rop of the world is exactly equal to
consumption. it is possible to get a
fair and legitimate price. When pro-
u tiun is less than consumption, less
than the SpinnerS can handle or want
Ia handle, the price of cotton rises
above its normal value. When pro-
duCti0n of raw cotton is greater than
the possible consumption of the spin
ncrS or the demand of the world for
manufactured products, then the sell
ing price is reduced in proportion,
and if there is twice as much raw cot
ton as the Spinncrs can manufacture,
the micc goes to nothing. or there
