Proof that the Stephens standard
price bill would not increase prices OF
commodities cold under its provisions
is found in the development OF the
automobile business in recent years.
All motor cars have been cold at stan
dard and uniform prices established
and maintained by their mauufactur-
ers and as result of this policy The
automobile business has grown amaz-
ingly. Prices have been lowered aud
quality bas Teen raised until today a
few hundred dollars will buy better
car than could have been bought ten
yrais ago for as many thousands.
