Richards Discusses
Phases Of Proposed
PrimaryA Amendments
Authof Of Richards Law Writes the
Big Stone Headlight About the
Proposed Amendments.

r. o. Richards recently addressed
the following letter Il the editor Of
the Headlight tomitting the intro
ductory):
May | ask you for a little space in
your paper, first to thank you for
your kind and courteous personal
treatment, next to throw a little side
light on the difference in form of
primary elections laws for the pro-
posals Of principles to determine the
paramount issue within the party by
a direct vote. The word election
implies division or a choice in yot
ing. If there is no self continuous,
representative and initiative primary
election law form. creating division,
discussion and a lineup on the party
ballot for and against proposals of
principles and candidates, throughout
the two thousand voting precincts,
there can be no uniform issue raised,
sthreshed out and voted upon, within
the party, throughout the state.
EaHrh5EE 04jeA INe
Elk parte statements by an indie

convention, take the principles be-
hind the curtain of the temple and

the needed information before they

but what the honest caucus law as
we'll as the present primary law keep
the people in ignorance as to Initial
ing or determining a uniform issue
by a direct vote in the state. may
mention the fact that in n primary
election in this state there were thir-
ty-three different notices, for dele
gates to the state convention in one
party, none of which principles were
discussed.
The honest caucus law, like the pres
ent primary law, only p~recipitates
p%erconal contests on delegates and
candidates for official positions.
Neither law ever developed a well
defined issue on principles within the
party throughoutethe state.
It may be assumed that the party
members are competent to vote on
the issue if the same is thoroughly
discussed. For instance, to vote on
wet or dry for and against the
railroad electric headlight law or the
herd law; but they are not and never
will be competent to vote on candi-
dates whose character and fitness are
not known to them without some rep

MURRAY 8 COMPANY
HAS TAKEN AGENCY
FOR THE PATERSON

Murray and Company has taken
the agency for the Paterson automo-
bile and new demonstration was
brought over from Flint this week.
1t is at the garage ready for inspec-
ton at any time. In speaking of the
new car the Messrs. Murray and Little
had the following to say:
1.-THE new Paterson 6-42 is the car
that will be selected by the man who
knows motor car values-the man
who is able, through actual exper-
fence, to realize what real quality
features are-the man who is able to
look beneath the mere exterior points
of style and beauty, and pick out the
vital details that go to make for long
life, steady service and continual sat
isfaction.
"Your first glance at this new Pat
erson Immediately gives you the i'm
preston of graceful, sweeping lines
the true stream-line body blending
perfectly into the tapered hood and
curved radiator. The wheel base,
which is 1T inches, gives it that long,
rangy, comfortable and roomy APP
pearance so greatly desired.
DO lar as the actual beauty is
concerned, this new Paterson car has
the snap, the style and the get-up to
make it unanimously the first choice
in its price-class. But our urgent
request is that you go beyond the
mere details of appearance-that you
compare feature by feature every
item of equipment, every detail of
material and construction with cars
costing anywhere from 500 to $500
above the Paterson price.
Look carefully into the type of
motor used-investigate the starting,
lighting and ignition systems. What
is the size of the tires-axle construc-
ton both front and rear-what kind
of top, windshield, speedometer, car
buretor, storage batteries, ETC., go to
make up the equipment? These are
important points you should know

KING ALFONSO
PURCHASED TWO
OVERLAND CARS

II. r. Unger of the Ames & Unger
garage has furnished us with the fol-
lowing bit of information regarding
the favor with which the WHY'S
Knight automobile is received in for
eign countries:
For the second time within period
of three months, King Alfonso XIII
Of Spain has shown his preference for
American built automobiles by pur-
chasing his second Willys-Knight
touring car from The Willys-Over-
land Company of Toledo, Ohio. This
latest order from His Majesty is sig
nificant in view of the fact that only
a few days elapsed between the ar
rival of his first Willys-Knight and
the issuing of instructions to dupli-
cate the shipment at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Repeat" orders from foreign buy
ers reach the Overland factory with
almost every mail This in itself is
not unusual as the moderate priced
Toledo product is sold in practically
every civilized city in the world. The
quantity production methods of man.
ufacture which are responsible for
this country taking the lead in the
automobile industry have enabled a
few of the larger American producers
Of high grade cars to sell cars abroad,
the price of which cannot be equalled
by the small European manufacturer.
In fact the price feature of Ameri-
can built cars has generally been be-
lived to be the only reason why for
eign buyers take them in preference
to their own home products. But
when one of the crowned heads of
Europe. like the King of Spain. buys
two Willys-Knights it is quite obvious
that the price has nothing to do with
his choice. His great wealth would
enable him to fill any number of gar
ages with the highest priced cars in
the world if he so desired.
Performance is what King Alfonso
looks for in car and it speaks well
for the ability of the Willys-Knight
when a foreign ruler orders his sec
ond car of this type.

Talks on Thrift
W,hiskey's Decreasing Tax on Thrift

Whatever may be the concensus of
opinion as to the necessity for and
desirablity of alcoholic liquors as bev-
erages, no thinking man will deny
that drinking is an expensive habit,
costly both to the individual and to
the State. A dollar can be spent
quicker and with less to show for it
at the bar than in any other way, and
the man who is a "good spender" and
keeps pace with the crowd around the
social glass must keep the pace that
kills.
OF late years the production and
consumption of liquors and beer have
increased enormously, and from OBJ
servation one would conclude that ev-
erybody drinks little and most peo-
pie too much. The resultant evils are
widespread and far-reaching, even to
the third or fourth generation, for the
cost does not end with the walters
check, but with the bills for police,
almshouses, prisons and Potter's
fields.
The man who INDUCES this habit
must realize that he is putting self
imposed tax upon his thrift, as well
as tax upon his energies. Of what
avail to work hard and then spend to
no useful end? Why work for the
man who stands behind the bar? Why
spend days wages in half an hour
and get nothing for it but a thrill? If
the State should put the same tax
upon his income that he puts upon
himself, he would rebel. Then, too,
he who spends his money thus must
realize that he is simply putting
money in the bank for the other fell
low. 1t may take a circuitous route
to get there, but eventually it will
find Judgment in some bank, where it
will work for somebody, perhaps
harder than he worked for it. And
the easiest way to get it in bank
quick-to the other fellows account
lis to buy the drinks for the crowd.
Cheering news along this line comes
from Government reports on the con-
sumption of liquor for the past year
Alcohol is lessening its tax upon
thrift. The consumption of liquor in
1913 was 143,220,056 gallons. In 1914
it was 139, 13S,501 gallons, while in
1915 it was 125, ,17S gallons, a net
decrease of Is millions gallons in two
years. Likewise in the matter of to-
bacco. In 1915 we burned up six hun
dred million less cigars than hereto
fore in a single year, and the Govern
ment's tobacco revenues decreased ST.
100000. One hundred and eight dis
tilleries went out of business in 1915
and forty-one breweries ceased to
brew. Forty per cent of our Govern
ment revenues have been derived from
liffuor taxes, and in 1915 these reven-
ues FIJI off over twenty-five million
dollars.
Whatever may be the cause for this
commendable showing whether be-
cause of the thoughts of war and
what it might mean, or whether as a

OF BELDING. OTHER ITEMS
OF INTEREST

1t is much to be regretted that so
good a water power as we have here
should remain so long a time idle. The
total power is about 600 horse, but of
this only about one-sixth is utilized.
The site of the old lumber mill, which
burned down a year and half ago, is
admirably adapted to any kind of
manufacturing. The location is at the
foot Of Main street, and directly at
the side of the railroad track. There
is a good stone foundation in place
and only slightly damaged by fire. The
race is in good condition and water
wheel is in place ready for use. When
the lumber mill was rebuilt, it was
erected on a new site, and steam pow
er substituted, because plenty of fuel
was at hand, and thus the water pow
er could be utilized by other branches
of manufacture. A party well ac-
quainted with paper manufacturing
pronounces it one of the best sites
that he knows of for that branch of
business. Any parties in search of a
location for any branch of manufac-
turing will do well to examine this
one before purchasing elsewhere.
