Depression Throughout the Country
as q Result Of Democratic Power
Sure to Have Its Effect
on the Elections.

A correspondent to the American
Economist. writing from Quincy, ILL.,.
sounds the right note when he says:
BY federal constitutional provi-
sion. the tariff making power is given
to congress. and there Is where 1t be-
longs. The house OF representatives
is the strong bulwark of popular gov
eminent. and our congressman should
be made to shoulder the responsible
ity for progress or depression at
home. This depression is due wholly
to the Democratic administration OF
our AFFAIRS. and the previous free trade
administrations have all been just
the same. but the people have been
educated now and they should know
how to vote next year. Let there be
no mistake in returning a safe major
ity to congressman committed to a
strong protective tariff. and business
will Immediately readjust itself to
prosperous basis. Whichever party
is in control. either through congress
or tariff commission, will dominate
the question OF high or low tariff.
80 the best way ia to be careful about
an candidates elected in 1916, and
know that they are in favor of the
United States controlling it's own bust
ness"
The period of uncertainty or strad
die on the tariff question is past. Men
who seek nomination and election in
next years congressional campaign
will have to stand up and be counted
as simon-pure protectionists. Similar
ly as to the presidential ticket. The
year 1916 is going to be bad year

Improved merchandising plans for
handling an increased volume of sales
are to be made large part of the dis

This years Chalmers convention
while primarily to outline next years

ELECTRIC POWER
OF AUTO FACTORY
Forty Thousand Horsepower OF
Electric Current Alone For
Overland Works

What is declared to be the largest
industrial contract for electric power
ever given to a central station, was
placed recently by the wiIlys-Ove
land of Toledo. When the contract
is completed. the generating company
Will be able to furnish the equivalent
OF 10000 horsepower of electric cur
rent.
Electrical engineers figuring on the
work, declare that this power is fully
as great as that required for lighting
a city of half a million inhabitants.
Five great power cables will be re-
quired to transmit this tremendous
amount of current. Two of the cables
were completed about a year ago.
They are four and a half miles long,
each carrying $4,000 volts, which is
the highest voltage ever carried by an
underground cable.
The cables hardly were in operation
before the phenomenally rapid growth
of the Overland plant made it neces-
sary' to install a third. This has Just
been completed and its final tests have
attracted the attention Of cable manu-
facturers in all parts of the country.
On account OF the Importance Of
the cable and the tremendous load it
must carry, as much attention was
given to making the hundred joints as
II the workmen were engaged in
laboratory tests. Nothing was left to
chance, the smallest details were
guarded even to the extent of doing
an EnN Inv u
mems hands were covered with per-
spiration. This was done to preclude
any possibility of moisture in the
cable joints.
The cable. to be capable of carry
ing the load, had to test out for 23,-
OOO volts. Six different tests were
taken under a variety of conditions
and each time the big power conveyor
easily carried $4,000 VOLTS which was
considered remarkable by the ex-
perts who supervised the work
When the third cable was ordered,
IT was figured that the Overland would
have sufficient power TO last them
for years to come. But the growth of
their business in the last few months
has upset all calculations and before
the third cable was even tested our.
plans had to be made for two more.
The adoption of higher efficiency
such as this Is a good example of the
foresight and manufacturing ingenu-
ity which has developed the WHY'S
Overland Company in a few short
years, from very small beginning to
one of the greatest industrial organi-
cations in the world
Whenever it has been possible to
improve the factory's production IA
cillties, by substituting electric power
for a less efficient agent, that change
has been made.
The Overland was the first auto
mobile concern to use electric heating
furnaces for the enameling of steel
parts. The results obtained from these
ovens proved so satisfactory that they
are now being installed by practically
all of the larger motor car manufac-
turers in the country.

Paige Sales For October

During the first fifteen days of octo-

more Paige cars were shipped out of

remainder of the month show proper

This record" says Sales Manager
Henry Krohn. I'VE believe is extra
ordinary in view of the fact that Octo-

ance than as an indication of Paige
popularity and success and the ability
of the Paige to deliver cars.
This record also reflects the stability
and soundness of the motor car in
dustry as whole. 1t shows how it
has advanced from the exploitation
of commodity that not long ago was
