Rein Says Outlook
For Coming Year is
Brig h tie s t Ever

The outlook for the coming year Is
not lacking in, encouragement for the we'll
organized automobile manufacturers
whose product has established itself in
the confidence OF automobile users, . said
George F.. Reim president OF the Cadillac
company of Omaha. ut would be diff
cult to name an industry which rests
on a more secure foundation than that
portion of the automobile industry which
comprises properly constructed, honestly
''"de motor cars. The universal demand
the transport of passengers and ma
terill will continue while our civilization
stands. The intrinsic merit OF the motor
car for that purpose sinsafes permanency
to the industry =, $50,
The period of evolution through which
tho automobile, industry Is passing may
temporarily embarrass these manufac-
turers whose product IL not thoroughly
established. Intelligent discrimination in
buying motor cars will be manifest this
year to a greater extent than ever before.
This coming year will demonstrate
the firm hold which the honestly made
motor car has on.'the American public.
I'VE believe that the adherence 10 the
policy Of maintaining excellence in the
quality Of material and workmanship,
and the policy OF giving to the purchasers
liberal return fot.their expenditure will
be a material factor in the constant In
crease in the production Of motor cars"

SUPER SIX MOTOR
MARKS THE IDEAL
Hudson Engineer Declares Maxi
mum Of Efficiency Reached by
Hudson Invention.
GREAT ENGINEERING ADVANCE

The new Hudson super-six motor"
says Chief Engineer G. q. Behn OF the
Hudson Motor Car company. surprised
the motor car engineers probably quite as
much as IL will the general public. II had
been stated time and again that the maxi
mumNof efficiency had been reached in
the six-cylinder motor. This was given
as the reason why some companies en-
deavored to develop the W type eight
and twelve. II the Hudson discovery had
been made a year ago Il Is entirely prob
able that the Fights and twelves might
never have put In an appearance. Ger
tainly they are. now proved to be un-
necessary because more than their eff
cheney has been attained through the six
cylinder motor as now manufactured by
the Hudson company.
The most impressive fact In the auto
mobile industry lately has been the rapid
change in motors. To the public It some
times has seemed important that bodies
and styles were different, but the en-
Eineers have known all along that by far
tho greatest changes and the greatest
possible advances lay in the direction OF
the motor and the chassis. Many people
who are familiar with the technique of
engineering have possibly seen in the
motor changes merely a striving after
newness. an effort of one maker to outdo
another in the way OF apparent sensation
But the changes have had a much deeper
meaning. The W type motor. the Fights
and the twelHes have been claimed 70
excel the former six-cylinder motors This
in some instances may have been true.
but there never has been any doubt in the
mind of engineers that II certain fea-
lures could be secured in a six-cylinder
motor It would be practically the ideal for
pleasure motor car. That condition is
now reached by the new Hudson inven-
ton.
1T would take too long at this time 70
tell Of the many tests to which this motor
has been subjected ana of the many
marvellous things that 1t has done Sutfi-
cient to say that il has so thoroughly
convinced the Hudson engineers of its
value that they have abandoned not only
all skies of former types, but all idea OF
eight or twelye-cylinder motors. Every
reason for an eight or twelve-cyiinder
motor has now vanished"

old scandals of evasion, deception, open
defiance and failure to enforce. Whas
it finally comes to is the question
whether each voter wants to keep his
own share of the responsibility in his
own hands, or whether he prefers to
shoulder it off on to an impersonal Of
fcialism. ttr
1t doesn't answer at all to say that
those who take this view are rummies
or friends of the liquor interest, be-
cause it is true that not few out
spoken and consistent temperance men
freely acknowledge that they have
become converted to the principle Of
local option by watching its operation
in our home community.
We have here spoken only OF the
sentiment and results in Windham
county, but recalling the fact that the
state began in 1903 with 90 towns in
the license column, and that in 1905 the
number dropped to 35, while now there
are but l4-not counting Somerset and
the five other licenseless yes towns
it seems safe to infer that our local
conditions are typical of those through
out the state.

WILL NOT REDUCE RATES.
Public Service Commission DisInisses
Petition Against Bellows Falls g.
Saxtons River Street R. R.

The public service commission Of
Vermont, of which Robert C. Bacon of
Brattleboro is chairman, has Just
issued its order in the petition OF GER
tain freeholders of Rockingham
against the Bellows Falls & Saxtons
River Street Railway Co. The petit
tion, which objected to the schedule of
rates for freight and express fled
Sept %, 1915, to become operative
Oct. %, 1915, stated that the new
schedule was a material increase, un-
reasonable, unjust, excessive and dis
criminatory. 1t asked that the COM
mission, after hearing, prescribe just
and reasonable rates, but the order
dismisses the petition. The order
shows that the company capital
stock is 100000, that its funded in
debtedness is $4,000 and that it has
outstanding loans and notes payable
of $4,000.
AS the revenues of the petitionee,
to speak mildly, are now no more than
adequate, the commission asserts,
1--WE are not disposed to disturb these
rates. In closing, the order says:
"No method of otfsetting the reduc-
ton in the petitionee revenue which
would necessarily follow any reduction
in rates was suggested by the petit
TONERS. With conditions as shown, the
petitionee should not be compelled to
stand reduction of revenue. We con
clude that the petition should be dis
missed and it is so ordered

that today the government is

thinks we have kept out of the war
not because of what Mr.. Wilson has

says: Every pertinent lesson of his

Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Clark,
of Jacksonville, who were ON their way
to Miami in their ear. Mr.. Chamber
lin spent several days at the Alcazar
in st. Augustine, according to his an
nual custom, and while in jackson.
vile attended the banquet given by
the Bell Telephone company at the
Windsor hotel at which 500 guests were
present. The affair was in celebration
of the establishment of the Transact
lantic telephone service, and each
guest was provided with telephone
at his place at the table, putting him
in communication with San Francisco.
Cal. Communications over the phone
from the California city were accom-
panied by illustrations portraying the
subject, and Mr., Chamberlin saws the
roll of the surf on the Pacific shore
could be distinctly heard.
