The character of the forces to
be raised must be left entirely
to the judgment of the governor.
If it is desired to raise national
guard units, battalion or regi-
ment of infantry will be author
lied, and all possible encourage
ment and assistance will be
extended by the war depart
ment. Such units must meet
all federal requirements, and af-
ter inspection and recognition as
national guard, would probably
be furnished sufficient clothing,
equipment arms for their inn
mediate needs. It is not the
present policy of the war de-
partment to draft into federal
service units of national guard

REQUEST MADE TO
GIVE GUARD OF 400

This state will have national
guard to succeed the old Second
Idaho, comprising a battalion of
200 men and four companies,
and it may be made up of men
'either through voluntary service
or draft including men of mill
tary age under the draft. A
formal request for permission to
organize such a militia was
made to the adjutant general Of
the army by Governor Alexander
following receipt Of information
from Brigadier General Carter.
The guard organized will be Civ
en- federal recognition.
Adiutant General C. S. Moody
has maintained that under the
laws and regulations a national
guard could be organized in this
state for the purpose of protect
ing life and property at home
At one time the Washington de-
Ipartment held that this was not
possible as it would interfere
with the draft and that only q
home guard could be organized
lit has reversed that stand as the
! following communication to the
adiutant general indicates:
General Charles S. Moody, Ad-
iutant General of Idaho, Boise
Idaho. Dear General: Your let
ter of the fst instant has beef
received. and I wish to express
TO YOU the qualification Of tn
war department with the pat
riotic attitude of the officials o

Ito draw upon federal forces t

Wasteful Economy Us. Construc.
tue Saving and Use

The call to National economy
ought rather to be a call to
National Thrift.
Here in the richest country in
the world-with nationwide
employment and prosperity, with
wages higher than they have ever
been in the history of the world,
with 935,000,000 acres of tillable
land and unprecedented returns
for the farmer-we can support
another hundred-million people,
whether in this country or Eu-
rope, on what America wastes, if
we only apply brains to our prob
lens, National and individual.

PREPAREDNESS B00MS
BUSINESS, SAYS KISSEL
Tax on Automobiles and
Trucks Only Cause of Worry
for Motor Man.

That Americas huge preparedness
campaign will not interfere with bust,
ness in general but on the contrary
will help it, is the opinion of George
a. Kissel president Of tho Kissel
Motor Car company, who has just
completed n trip thruout the east.
while this was not the purpose of my
trip" said Mr.. Kissel, 81 could not
help being impressed with the optim-
ism that prevailed among the auto
mobile men with whom | came in con-
tact. While undoubtedly our entering
the world war caused "a slight uneasi-
ness at first, the unbounded faith in
America is creating an optimism Of
the highest order.
"The proposed double tax Of an ad-
ditional per cent on the price OF au.
tomobiles and trucks is meeting with
emphatic opposition in trade circles.
personally l do not see why
motor car manufacturers should be
additional taxed any more than boat
builders, engine or agricultural ma
chinery makers or the steel industries
"ln NIrope since the war started
the automobile has proven indispens-
able. more reliable and more flexible
than even the railroads in the trans
portation of men, guns, supplies or
wounded.
THE more automobiles of every des-
cription America has from now on, the
more she will be able to protect her
self ut home or to speed up the over
seas rclicfs."

They tell the same facts in terms
of depreciation, emphasizing the
security of the Franklin owner in
the Investment uaIue of his car.
Under all circumstances of
road, climate, and the cost of gas
oline and tires, the man with a
Franklin owns and runs his car
on the most favorable terms.
These factors make the Frank
lin peculiarly the car of free use,
of staunch service, of small up
keep, of low depreciation.
Twenty thousand Franklin
owners saw these things before
there was any call to National
Thrift.

The Thrift of the Franklin Car
Our Response to the National Call

AS people, Americans have
~ so long been charged with
4 Awastefulness and extrava-
gance that we have come to ad-
NIT it as our National sin.
Perhaps the meanest thing that
has been said of us is that our only
idea of economy is to do without.
That, being a people of ex-
tremeS, we can save only in the
most drastic and obvious way.
That our idea of reducing
household expenses is to dis
charge the help, wear our old
clothes and cut the table where
it will be felt the Irost.
That we must either waste
coal or shut down the furnace
and freeze.
There is just enough truth in
this indictment to hurt.
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-05-27

of economy is the man who
buys heavy, extravagant car and
then limits its use.
Whatever the times or condi-
tons, the Franklin owner knows
that he stands firmly on a thrift
basis.
That if all cars were as efficient
as the Franklin, America would
save Four Hundred Million Gal
Ions of gasoline and l92,000,000
worth of tires every year-with-
out cutting one mile off the stu
pendous motor-Car mileage of
the United States.
There is Needless Waste of
Gasoline and Tires
Thrift always implies sense
of value,.
What is the mileage value of a
gallon of gasoline-or set of tires3
Do you realize that all the
twenty-odd years of motor-car
designing has never produced
anything like a standard of mile
age for either gasoline or tires1
That gasoline, worth tqpenty
miles and upward in the ,eienife-
Hght-weight Franklin, dropsas low
as nine miles and even six miles
in many another make of fine carr
That while the Franklin owner
is getting his ten thousand miles
from a set of tires, the typical
fine car owner is getting only
five thousand or less3
Franklin Owners Have the Facts
on Comparative Costs
Where the heavy car wastes
gasoline in the drag of its dead
weight-the Franklin devotes its
power to mileage.
Where the heavy car hammers
its tires out before their time
Franklin light inspiring weight
