Approves Full Crew Repeal.

After a hearing, Governor Edge ap-
proved of the repeal of the full crew
act. The bill was amended to place
upon the railroads the burden of proof
to show hat the additional trainmen
can be dispensed with. The session be-
fore the governor was spirited, the
representatives of labor organizations
alleging questionable methods had
been used in getting the statute
through the legislature. The executive
remarked, however, that he believed
laws should be flexible and approved
of giving the utility commission juris-
diction.
BY taking the Democrats unawares
Majority Leader Oliphant forced a vote
on the Hates home rule bill and de-
prived the minority of the club which
offered itself to gain legislation favor
able to itself. Doubt had existed on
the probable action Of the Democrats
because of the letter by Secretary to
the President Tumulty urging the
members of his party to cut away
from the liquor interests.
Mr.. Oliphant vigorously opposed the
local option nov and was reluctant in
letting out of committee the Hates
measure. Assemblyman Runyon of
Union, however, gave notice that he
would move to relieve the committee
of it.
One plan of the Democrats was to
hold themselves ready to vote for the
bill unless measures of which they dis
approved We're withdrawn. State Com
mitteeman James r. Nugent came
from Newark to counsel them against
any favorable consideration of the
local option question. and in a caucus
they reached the conclusion TO vote
against the bill if it should be reported
out that day. This agreement was to
last only n day, however.
In the leak hat followed Mr.. Oil
plant was appraised of their intention
and forced the bill that day by sending
to the speakers desk an adverse re
port on the measure.

MOTOR TRUCK B|G
 FACTOR IN BATTLE

It was but recently announced that that International Motor company, the largest exclusive truck manufacturers in the country and makers of Mack and Saurer Trucks, will turn over their entire output to the United States gov ernment in case of war
 This offer as well as other offers from firms making materials useful for warfare was accepted by the presi- ident as a patriotic act.
 Tt must be remembered" said w. E. Ferguson of the Oldsmobile of Ari zona, distributors for Oldsmobile pleas ure cars and Mack and Saurer Trucks, that the Mack truck is the only ar mored truck made in the United States today. The national guard of New York have some in use and have found them very satisfactory. and no doubt the United States will use them to good advantage in case of war"
 "The International Motor company have shipped over 1,S00 Mack and Saur- CT Trucks to Europe, that are now in use in the great war and orders are coming in constantly for more. "A great feature of the Mack armored truck is the demountable wheels wit detachable flanges enabling the truck to travel on rails as we'll as the road"
 Ferguson is very proud of his two war babies as he calls them and three carloads of Mack's are now en route to Phoenix.

PACKARD TRUCK
 MUCHDENANDED

More than s4,00O000 worth of Pack ard motor trucks were sold to busi- ness men of the United States and i Canada in January and February. AL most every line of business, large and small, is represented among the buy CTS.
 Nearly all these trucks were sold into the domestic industries of peace. A very few orders from the United States army are included in the total, but none from foreign military estab liShmentS.
 The prosperous condition of the na- tions business probably cannot be in- dicated more effectively than by this record sale of motor trucks, said R. E. Chamberlain, manager of the truck sales department of the Packard com pany. q think the volume of truck
 sales is almost as faithful a barometer of general business as is the price of steel. For trucks are used to trans
 port goods, and when more trucks are bought, it means more goods are nov ing.
 Reports of our field representatives, and my own observations in recent trips extending as far west as Kan
 sas City, lead us to believe that we can sell $3, ,000, 900 worth of trucks in March
 alone"
 Cleveland is the Packard leadership
 which sold the most trucks in Janu ary, and the Detorit retail sales branch took first place in February.
 Fleets of as many as 25 trucks on one order were sold to big buyers.
 Among -he nationally known names
 listed among Packard buyers in Jan-
 uary and February are the Standard
 Oil company. Shell Oil company, Pierce
 Oil corporation, Swift 6 company, Ar
 mour & company, Nelson Morris com
 pany, American Express, Endicott,
 Johnson & company, Bethlehem Steel
 company, Philadelphia & Reading Coal 2 Iron company. American Can com oany, Libby, McNeil & Libby com- pany, Crane & company, Schlitz Brew ng company, the National Tube com pany and Arbuckle Bros. McArthur Brothers have sold several Packard trucks to mining companies in Ari- Zona.

HUDSON MOTOR
 FINE BUT NUT . ON[Y FEATURE

The interest in the Hudson Super Six hitherto has altogether been focused on the motor" said Cal Messner of the Hudson Sales com pany. Tt came an enigma in 1916. For more than a year it prompted the entire attention of Tucson pur- chasers, almost to the eXCiusion of other excellencies in the car.
 Soon It's introduction claims were made for the Hudson Super-Six that sounded absurd in the light Of what was known of motor possibilities.
 And then it verified. Record after record fell. Within an epic half year the Hudson Super-SiX broke records throughout the whole range of motor car performance, which represented the supreme endeaVoIs of tiie word $ greatest cars.
 Hudson performance so thoroughly engrossed attention during the first year of the Super Six that even the advertising campaigns neglected to give consistent prominence to the cars other great features. The prev ious enviable reputation of the Hud- son company as d builder of cars was not appealed to. The Super Six was sold from the standstill start of an unknown car practically on performance alone, to 33000 pur- chasers.
 This year the Hudson advertising plans will give deserved attention to other great points of the car. notably the design, which was a distinguished feature of the early Hudson cars and which has been advanced steadily.
 The Hudson company was the first to formulate a distinctive motor mode. It escaped from the early chaotic potpourri of car design and set a definite ideal of mode Today it is the largest builder of chauffeur driven cars in the world.
 Tt is building a far greater num- Der of these luxury cars this year than ever before. This is partly be- cause the company apprehended the greater favor into which the closed car is coming.
 Tn the smartest circles last year the closed car was used throughout the year, because of its appearance and because it afforded greater clean hness to the occupants as well as protection from the glare of hot reach greater clientele. It is evil dent already from the great demand.
 The Hudson Hmousines and town cars this year capture beauty and serviceahility with remarkable felicity. The upholstery is done in a new tone effect. French enamel, mer- chandise handled only by jewellers, is used in the finish of the handles, the telephone and time piece. The in terior lighting is diffused through specially tinted glass.
 "There are also such closed types as thetouring sedan. the cabriolet and the town car landaulet, all of which has a wide vogue.

12O0 OVERLAND
 EST MATE FUR
 YEAR IN STATE

Between 1000 and 1900 Overland automobiles will be sold during the present year, according to an esti- mate made yesterday by w. H. Bell, special factory representative, upon his return from a trip to the several agencies of the Overland Arizona company.
 The estimate" said Bell, lis based on the sales already made, upon or ders received for cars to De del1V- cred between now and September, upon orders coming in every day and upon the general outlook for the fall business. Indications are the very best for a well sustained business in Overlands during the summer months and a big fall business is already assured
 There are fifteen carloads of Overlands now rolling from the factory to the agencies in Arizona. These shipments will not begin to take care of the demand, according to orders received, and the schedule is now pretty well up until Septem- ber In each car are six OVerlands, making ninety cars in all."
 At the headquarters of the Over land Arizona company yesterday, it was reported from the vavious sales men that there are now eighteen cars sold on the undelivered list. This list includes eight Country club Overlands four Killys- Knight Flights and two Willys-Kni Fours, three S5-4-b Overlands and one Ninety Overland.

THINGS YOU FORGOT

The Stakeholder Series "10" car is an evolution and perfected piece of mechanism. That is why you can FORGET many little things about Studebaker that you have to REMEMBER and care for on other cars not so highly developed.
 For instance: the cooling system of the Studebaker car will work in any climate, at any temperature, providing you keep water in the radiator.
 The fabrication system of Stu debaker car will work unfailingly in absolutely all conditions, if you will remember to put oil in the crank case occasionally.
 The electric lights, and the elec- tric starter will never fail you if a little distilled water is put in the battery from time to time.

nice, because Studebaker's finish ing work is the sum of years of ex- perience.
 You won't have to renew the leather on your cushions, because experience has taught Studebaker how to select and buy the highest quality of leather.
 You won't need to worry about making a grade with a Studebaker car, because the Stakeholder motor has been perfected into the most powerful motor in the world in ratio to gasoline consumption.
 You won't have to continually worry about fabrication, about oil and greasing parts of your car, be- cause every part is equipped with ample capacity grease cups.
 These are the things that make it a delioht to own and run a Stude- baker car, and cause you to say, 1T never have any trouble with. it."
