equalization of this elias Of property.
A few side-lights o. the automo-
bile assessment is interesting. The
number of cars registCed from Jan
uary to May Is, 1915, is used as
basis for the number in the state.
The secretary of statei records show
that in 1914 there wen 3S.031 auto
mobiles registered in tbs period. In
1915 there were 6O.511registered. an
increase OF 59.11 per ept. In 1914
one-half OF the 19H list price
amounted to $685. pei car for the
state as a whole. In 1915 one-half
OF the list price amounted to S47S,
showing the effect of tie general de-
crease in the price of automobiles in
the state A total valuation Of the
Ss.03l cars in 1914 as used by the
state amounted to e24l6t.97S while
the valuation of the 6.517 cars in
1915 amounts to $2S.9sI305. In 9th
er words the value Of automobiles
in the state increased ong 20 per cent
while the numbers increased 50 per
cent.
It is interesting to compare the in
crease or decrease Of he various
makes.
There are in all $50 makes Of auto
mobiles registered in the state Of
Wisconsin or this number 2l7 makes
are represented by less than ten cars
in the entire state This means that
81 per cent OF the various makes are
represented by less than 10 cars. Sew
enteen makes are represented by 500
cars and over and represent 70 per
cent Of the total cars. OF these II
the Ford cores first with 1896; the
Buick second with 5.765 the Overland
third with 4.470, the Studebaker fourth
with 2,545 and the Maxwell fifth with
2,074
Il Is interesting to note that the
number of Fords in the state repre-
sent 3S.44 per cent OF the total cars,
that the Buick represents 9.53 per
cent. the Overland 7.39 per cent, the
Studebaker All per cent and the Max
well 3.43 per cent.
The last column of the table shows
the per cent of increase ia the num-
Der from 1914 to 1915 The total OF
the II makes above mentioned have
increased 691a per cent. while all the
other makes have increased about 30
per cent.
In Dane county 81 different makes
of automobiles appear on the secre-
tary Of states list. OF this number
20 makes represent 80 per cent q the
total There were 2.170 machines reg.
istered up to May Is, 1915, tan in

AUTO CAMPERS.

| Dallas should provide a free camp
ing ground for automobile tourists be
fore the opening of the 1916 season
and invite these itinerant pleasur
seekers to partake of its hospitalit.
while journeying through this sectiol
of the willamette valley. The move
ment has met with pronounced sue
cess in other towns to the SOUTH, not
ably Roseburg and Ashland, and tn
proposition should have the serious
consideration Of the business Interests
here. A considerable number of au
tomobile tourists carry their owl
camping outfits, such as tents ant
cooking utensils, but they must nee
essarily purchase supplies, and these
| it is presumed would be bought To-
cally if camping grounds within close
proximity to the city were provided
There could be nothing detrimental
to hostelries or garages in the under
taking, for those desiring to "put
up" at these places would do so I'M
der any circumstances.
The national government is now
Tperfecting plans to establish camping
grounds for tourists in national for
est reserves, and with the beginning
of the new year more interest in the
matter of out-of-door life will be man
ifested throughout the country than
ever before. The plan here suggested,
that Of providing a camping ground
adjacent to Dallas, would be but fol
lowing in the footsteps of your Uncle
Samuel, although in the latter case no
profit could accrue to his subjects. By
inviting tourists to stop with us over
night, Dallas would naturally receive
an unlimited amount of free advertis-
ing throughout the land, while nearly
all business interests would profit by
extending this privilege to the trav-
eler.
In a communication to The Observ-
er last summer Mr. Crider, who made
an automobile camping trip to Cali
fornia, spoke in glowing terms Of the
communities making such provisions
for the accommodation Of the wayfar-
er, and commended the plan itself.
One town mentioned in Mr.. Crider's
very readable letter went so far as to
furnish fuel, water and other like nee
essaries to the camper. The news soon
spread among tourists and hundreds
took advantage of the opportunity to
spend the night amid pleasant sur
and with hospitable peo-
pie.
While the Commercial club is casting
about with a view to furthering the
interests Of Dallas, it might
with propriety consider the sugges-
ion here offered. The plan has been
worked out successfully in other
places; it can be in Dallas.

Don't Set the Brakes,

Editor: 1t every citizen will dis
play as loyal support as The Observer
does to second the efforts of the mer
who today are trying to advance the
interests of Dallas, three very desir-
able results will follow:
First, those men, whose generosity
and patriotism prompt them to devote
their time and energy for the common
good, would feel that their efforts are
appreciated.
Second, backed by the unanimous
support Of all citizens, projects could
be more readily accomplished and diff
ficulties attacked and surmounted
with more courage and determination.
Third, every citizen, humble or
great, poor or rich, will be more like
ly to secure benefits from the work
of these men.
1t is not necessary that we should
all contribute money to the cause Of
attracting diversified interests to our
city. 1t is not necessary that we
should all contribute time to the work,
but it is imperative that every man,
woman and child should shout, sing
and lisp the praises of those who step
aside from their daily tasks and take
up the peoples burden.
hope you will pardon this intru
sion into your columns and, pardon al
so the degree of emphasis l seek to
express in conveying the above
thought to the public. AS | have at
tempted for years to assist in accom-
plishing results of this kind, no man
knows, better than l do, how hard it
is to create a general, favorable SEN
eiment for a good purpose when one
third of the community approve, one
third "damn with faint praise" and
one-third are Indifferent or opposed.
Remember the story of the locomotive
engineer, who was crowding on the
last pound of steam to make the top
of the hill, when the brakeman, pes
simist, who knew it couldn't be done,
set the brakes. Don't be a brakeman
who uses the brake. Get off and push.
Dallas is over the divide. The hard
is past, if we all pull together
and no one sets brake.-Optimist.
