A Lighter Master six"

What the Chalmers Master "Six" at $2450
is among high powered cars, the 1915 Light
Six" at 1880 is among ears of its class 1t
has the same Master Motor, though built on
a lighter scale 1t has small bore and long
stroke to give it flexibility; perfect balance
to give it smoothness; right design to give it
silence.
Its Chalmers Entz electric starter makes
the motor non-stallable. Tapered bonnet,
oval Tenders and streamline body rank it with
the expensive foreign cars in looks.
Its lighter weight means an added econ
omy. Yet it is heavy enough to make it safe
in any emergency comfortable on any road.

TRUST BILL MAKES
GUILT PERSONAL
Proposed New Legislation Con-
tains Most Drastic Pro-
visions

WASHINGTON, May 2.The text
OF the new antitrust bill drawn IN
conformity with President Wilson
policy OF fixing individual responsible
ity Tor violation OF the statutes re-
straining monopoly has been made
public by the senate committee on in
terstate commerce of which Senator
Newlands is chairman. The proposed
act includes every phase OF the trust
question on which the administration
desires action, and provides that the
individual officers. agents and direc-
tors OF offending corporations shall be
deemed personally guilty of any in
fraction OF the law by the interest
which they represent. SO sweeping is
this provision that some members OF
the committee are understood TO have
admitted that notifications NAV be
necessary before the bill reaches the
senate
The bill follows the plan previously
outlined by President Wilson and his
advisers, calling for a commission OF
five members with authority to inves-
tigate the organization and financial
operations OF corporations engaged in
commerce, to require reports and to
act as master in chancery upon the
orders OF a court in antitrust suits
where the decree Is for the plaintiff,
and to ascertain the best manner OF
decree and TO investigate the way in
which any decree is carried out
Interlocking directorates are proyid-
ed against under the terms OF the
bill Any corporation having direc-
tors in common with competing cor
porations may file petition within
one year WITH the trade commission,
alleging that such interlocking direc-
torate does not destroy or impair com.

is sustained the community OF direc-
tors may continue In cases whore II
Is shown that such arrangements tend
TO stife competition. the community

Aside from the fact that the Marx

election in November, 1915, said
Judge Connolly. "a step of which /
do not think the people will approve,
since they will feel that they ought to
have the say about the terms OF their
officials, the spring election has many
advantages over the fall election.
Nearly every city in the state has
spring elections In Detroit, there
would be the great advantage that
the campaign would come during the
preparation OF the budget. An admin
istration looking for popular approval
of its course would hardly dare to
submit such an exorbitant budget as
we have had this year; for the people
would take account Of each item, and
pass Judgment, then and there, on
the economy or lack Of economy OF
the city officials. They would have
no time In which to let the issue be
clouded, or 10 forget. The PROPOSE
ton before them would be: Has the
administration been economical? Has
II been extrayagant? A spring cleo
ton would make for a lower tax rate,
and for more efficient expenditure OF
the public funds. Indeed 1t might be
q good plan TO hold the election dur
ing the time of the collection OF taxes.
so that the connection between taxes
and efficient administration might be
clearly seen.
Moreover a political machine in
control of the city would not dare 10
pre- pare a big budget during the cam

who would have the spending OF the
money The machine would not fiji

ton turned against II. The machine
would hesitate TO lay plans for giving
out contracts and jobs. knowing that
the people might turn 1t out and give
its opponents chance TO award the
contracts and distribute the jobs.
But aside from all this, my chief
point is that faith must be kept with
