Arizona's Next Governor
Gives His Pledge of Ser
vice to the People
REDUCE BURDEN OF TAXATION
Laws of State Should Preserve
Liberty and Protect
Opportunity

George Olney, ArlzOna's next
governor. has just returned nome
from tour of portions Of the State
made in the interest of his candi-
dacy for the democratic nomination
for governor. Olney is very much
interested i'll the campaign and very
willing to talk about his candidacy.
He said
Il am confident of receiving the
nomination at the hands of the
democrats of this State because my
candidacy is based upon a sincere
desire to be of service to every man,
woman and child in the State. | do
not think that any band Of profes
siona politicians should have the
right to dictate to the people who
shall hold their offices and am go.
ing straight to the people with my
candidacy, and when | am nomi-
mated | will be under no Obligations
to any man or set Of men or any
politician or group of politicians
l am addressing my candidacy to
the employer and to the employe
and it is my wish to be of service
to both in administering the affairs
of state. In my life ! have been
both an employer and an employee,
and understand the duties and re-
lation of each to the other, and it
will be my purpose, if elected gov
ernor, to bring about a friendly and
cordial relation between the EN-
plOyer and the employee, based up
on the idea that their interests are
mutual and that neither can profit
without corresponding advantage
accruing to the other, and that
neither can be unjustIy dealt with
without a corresponding disadvant-
age to the other. The laborer is
certainly worthy of his hire, and, if
| am elected governor, | will do all
in my power to see that he receives
his just due. and the employer is
entitled to the same, but no more,
protection from the law than the
Iaborer.
Il am also addressing my candi-
dacy TO the rich and to the poor
alike, because to pursue any other
course would be to pervert the
fundamental principles of justice
upon which our liberty is founded.
This is true because the rich of to-
day are the poor of tomorrow, and
many of the boys Of today whose
parents are poor, will be the rich
men of the next generation, and my
idea of a state is that its laws should
be so based upon justice and equity
that a poor boy, by industry and
economy, and with those personal
traits which make for success, may
earn and be sure Of receiving such
rewards for his labor, industry and
frugaity as will enable him as the
years pass to obtain a competency
and have it ard his ownership in it
protected by just and wise laws. |

know what it is to be a wage Garner.
| have been wage Garner and |
know what some of the rewards Of
faithful service amount to.
i am also addressing my candi
dacy to the mechanic and the work
man, the contractor and the farmer
and the Stockman. and the mine
owner and the mine worker, be

these the prosperity of the state
must find its proper basis.

here that organized government

POPTH ARTZTNC, MOTOR CARS IN SOUTH AMERlC1
PULLMAN DELIVERY CAR
A Four-Cylinder 80 II. r. Vehicle with
Irnunual Features.

Encouraged by the success which at
tended the introduction OF the 1918
pleasure car model, the Pullman Motor
Car Company, York, Penn, has just
made formal announcement OF Pull
man light delivery car embodying
many OF the features Of the touring
car. combined with all Of the latest
improvements to be found In light
truck construction.
The delivery vehicle Is brought out
on a special chassis, having wheel
base of ia inches. The normal load
capacity is 1000 pounds, filling all the
requirements of a hundred different
forms of business. The motor is OF the
4-cylinder type, 80 horsepower, cast en-
bloc, az bore and AZ stroke, with in
closed valves. The Stromberg car
buretor is used, thermo-syphon cooling
system and Pullman honeycomb radi-
ator. An important mechanical feature
Is the independent magnetic system OF
the Dixie waterproof, high tension
type, wholly independent Of the start
ing and lighting system. Full 5O-inch
cantilever rear springs, swung UNDER
meath the full floating rear axle and ex-
tending to the centre of the car body,
are another feature. Batavia tires are
standard equipment. Two standard
bodies are provided, the car complete
with express type body listing at 800
and with the panel type body at $40.

laid with car lines and wish TO get on
to, or off, the track, the steering
should be as gradual as possible, so
that if the wheels refuse TO take the
ridges the disturbing effect will be
very small.
Prevention here, however, is as usual
better than the cure, and it ia well 70
adopt some form of non-skidding de-
vice. Nearly all Of these devices consist
of some apparatus fitted to the tires
and designed to cut through the mud
and so obtain hold on the firm surface
below. Chains are the most common
of non-skidding devices, and, lacking
other devices. never be without a set A
fairly effectiee device may be impro-
vised for temporary use by winding
rope around the tire and felloes IN

quently, and renewed as required. In
any case, it is best to fiji all four wheels
with non-skidding devices. If only two
are employed they should be arranged
on one front and one rear wheel, but
on opposite sides of the car, this ar
rangement being best in such case.

II. M. ROWE NEW
A.A.A. PRESIDENT
Marylander Heads the Ma
tional Body, Which Now
Has 100000 Members.

Maryland supplies the tenth presi'
dent Of the American Automobile Asso-
citation in the person OF DR.. II. NJ. Rowe,
for many years head of its big automo-
bile club at Baltimore and also a mem
Der Of the national board Of directors.
DR.. Rowe is a pioneer of pioneers, start
ing with steam-propelled vehicle and
having been continuously connected
with motoring in one form or another
ever since.
Retiring President John A. Wilson
Of Pennsylvania, leaves behind him a
notable two and one-half year period
of service, in which the prestige and
membership of the national BODY have
increased in a most satisfactory man
ner. Like other predecessors, he in
tends to join the active ranks of the
ex-presidents and continue his activi-
ties on the executive board. Two for
mer presidents, as usual, Robert p
Hooper and Laurens Enos, were in at
tendance at the annual meeting, which
took place in Washington. A high
tpeed morning session, a good roads
innings in the afternoon and a banquet
in the evening made one very complete
day for the 150-odd directors who came
from a score of states.
The reports of Chairmen Diehl
Kennerdell, Lee and Joyce were re-
plete with evidence Of things accom-
plished and presaged greater things
for the future. Treasurer II. A. Bon
nell presented an encouraging fnan-
cial statement, and Secretary John ~
Brooks reported the present grand
membership total In excess Of the
100000 mark.
Stedman Bent, Of Pennsylvania,
served as chairman Of the committee
on nominations, which unanimously
reported DR.. Rowe for the presidency
and added to the list of e-presi-
dents David Jameson, of Pennsylva-
MIA; c. C. James, Of Ohio, and Frans
s. Fishback. Of Indiana. Ralph W
Smith, of Colorado; II. j. Clark. of
Minnesota; Preston Belvin, Of Vir-
gina, and P. J. Walker, of California
were the followers. II. A. Bonnell,
treasurer, and John n. Brooks, secre-
tary, were continued in the positions
which they have held so adequately
for many terms. A. G.. Batchelder was
reelected chairman of the executive
board.
On the countrywide question Of
preparedness, the A. A. A. has been
much concerned. President John A.
Wilson having assumed the burden OF
its participation. His report gave evil
dence of the scope of the proposition.
and, while he asked to be relieved Of
the task. it was the unanimous opin-
ION OF the meeting that he was the
one who should be kept on the job,
which his successor insisted should
be the case.
Several additions we're made to the
membership list, these being the
Automobile Club of Waterville, Wa
terville. Wash; the Escambia County
Automobile Association. Pensacola,
Fla. and the Florida East Coast Auto
mobile Association. Daytona. Fla. The
Tidewater Automobile Association, Of
Norfolk, Va. asked that its member
ship be changed from the enrolment
to the complete" plan.

selected for the trials. The truck
proved a wonder worker and people
and newspapers made many favorable
comments. Its advent in Asuncion re-
vived a movement previously started to
place several motor trucks in service
between interior districts and the lsrg-
er towns, where the only means Of
transportation to-day consists of carts
and pack animals.
Bolivia, one Of the worlds most d.
versifed countries geographically, has
been using the commercial automobile
for several years to great advantage.
Railways were not being built with the
activity that the country's trade de-
manded, and trucks were introduced on
a regular run from Potosi TO Sucre, a
distance Of $50 miles, where highways
are far from good. This was an ex-
pertinent in freight and passenger
service; and the cars long ago demon
strated their practicability. Since the
advent Of the truck in Bolivia the roads
have received more attention than for
merly; the pleasure car has become a
necessity and their number has in
creased, especially in La Paz.
Peru, as every one knows, Is not
land with many miles of automobile
the capital, over 800 machines, many
Of which are used as taxicabs. In Co
lombia the Department of Public Works
has made plans, backed by government
appropriations, for constructing high
ways suitable for automobiles. Among
these may be mentioned $4,000 for
road from Popayan to Paste; $4,000
for one from Pamplona to Cansanare;
$4,000 yearly for highway improve
ments from Bogota TO Boyaca; $4,000
for road from Santa Marta into the
coffee district of that section, and
subvention of $4,000 for a road to the
medicinal springs near Barranquilla.
Venezuela, Notwithstanding that Gaso-
lene is 80 cents a gallon in Caracas, is
buying cars and improving roads. Dur
ing the last fiscal year three auto
trucks and 227 pleasure cars were
shipped TO that country from the United
States.
"The greatest natural field for the
automobile, however. in South America
is TO be found in Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay. and in each Of these cOun-
tries improved highways are being ex-
tended and motor vehicles multiplying
rapidly. In 1918 Argentina alone i'm
