washington, April G-lSperial e
There are more reasons for the high
cost of living than there are remedies
or course one great factor in tie high
cost or living is the war In Europe and
the demand for American products
But long before the war began prices
were mounting and had been for four
or five years.
The Democratic party In 1910 and
1912 attributed the increased cost of
living to the tariff policies of the Re
publican party and promised to rene
dy the evil by reducing the tariff. The
Republican party has not made any
special charges against the Democrat
ic party on the subject of the high cost
of living. except to assert that while
the Democrats have been In control
prices have steadily increased
The Real Causes.
There are numerous reasons why the
cost OF living has advanced so rapidly
One of the most important Is the IN
creased cost of labor. The increases III
the higher cost of living have continued
all along the line. Everybody has
shared In the general increases of
wages except the salaried people. The
farmers and the wOrkingmen have
both enjoyed the increased prices.
Coupled with the higher cost Of labor
has been the falling off Of production
of farm products. That has caused a
rapid advance In the price OF food
Cold storage has added It's share to the
increase Of prices.
The great pity of all this is that no
remedy has becn found for meeting
the increased cost of living,
A Ray of Light.
Secretary Houston Of the agrlcul-
ture department thinks he sees a ray
Of light by the increase of the number
of meat producing animals in every
part of the country. or course, when
so much land which had heretofore
been used for grazing purposes vas
turned to other accounts there was a
decrease OF cattle and sheep. There
has also been a decrease in the mum
Der of hogs and poultry and other meat
producing animals on account Of dis
eases or other causes.
Secretary Houston has now received
reports which indicate that the ranges
are filling up and that IN many sec
tons meat producing animals are on
the increase. IL may be that there
will be a reduction In meat prices at
some time in the future, but as long as
the wal keeps up there is little hope

There are perhaps several reasons,
all of which would appear very clearly
if you had the opportunity or took the
time to analyze the history and business
policies of the automobile industry. But
there is one big basic reason which to
you as motorist is the essential rea.
son, and that one reason is thls-that
ever since the first Chandler car was
designed and built and marketed four
wears ago last month, the Chandler has
offered the finest of design, contraction
and equipment at the lowest possible
price.
The Chandler today offers this
excess of value, this dependability. OF
service, Just as distinctly as at any time
in the four years past.
Il took some little time, of course,
for a great part of the motoring world
to min it's confidence to this newcomer.
Men recognized, indeed the whole trade
recognized, that a new type OF car
which must make a large appeal had
come into the market. The trade knew
that it was the product of men who
knew motor building and general motor
car design and who were experienced
in the best manufacturing practices.
Still-and remember this was more
than four years ago-the trade SAID a
newcomer could not win out.
Nevertheless, there were lew
hundred Chandler cars manufactured
and sold in those months of the sum-
mer and fall of Nineteen. Thirteen. =,

has won it's place in the very front

side him at the wheel and show you
Chandler superiority.
We would be more than pleased to
show you this superiority; we would be
more than pleased to make clear to you
the excellence of the Chandler car in all
it's details.
We would like to show to you what it
means in satisfactory road performance
that the Chandler motor is equipped
with Bosch High Tension Magnetic,
as is the Pierce-ArrOw, MarmOn, Loco
mobile, Winton, White, Stutz and the
Mercer; what it means to you that the
Chandler car is built with big solid
cast aluminium crank case extending
from frame to frame and giving abso-
lutte rigidity to the motor mounting;
that it is equipped with silent chains for
driving the motor shafts and with an
nuIar ball bearings in transmission and
differential and rear wheels.
We would like to show you what
these items of design and equipment
and many others, typical of the highest
priced high-grade cars, mean to Chand.

sand motorists chose this car for their
car, more than twice as many as had
chosen it the year before.
And now comes 1917, year of some
stress for all trades, year above all
years when the real worth in merchan-
disc counts most. And what is the
motoring public's answer in its discus
sion of high-grade cars? What is its
answer in discussion of Skies most
particularly?
From coast to coast so far as our
available records show, the Chandler is
preferred above all other medium
priced cars, above all other high-grade
cars.
Our own sales records show an in
crease of better than $50 in the first
six months of this year as compared
with the first six months of last year.
Records of registration of new cars,
although available in only few typical
sections of the United States, indicate
tremendous public preference for the
Chandler over all other cars in its field,
in some instances as much as a twO-tO-
one preference.
We realize that in some isolated
instances, because of peculiar trade
conditions, some other car may lead, but
in the great markets where men have
the choice of all makes of cars, where
every kind and type of car is repre-
resented, sold and owned, motorists in
dicate their preference for the Chandler,
and prove their confidence in the
Chandler by choosing the Chandler.

rank of fine motor cars is reflected in
the Chandler sales records of Nine
teen-FOurteen, Fifteen, Sixteen and
Seventeen.
Month by month and season after
season thruOut these four years the
Chandler has moved forward and for
ward, until today it's leadership could
hardly be questioned.
Your own observation of high
grade cars in service in almost any
market in America would show you
clearly how surely the Chandler has
come into leadership.
This leadership has been built on
the Right Car at the Right Price.
Back in 1914 men were very gen.
orally inclined to recognize that the
Chandler was the right car at the right
price and about two thousand of them
had the courage to make sure of their
convictions.
Those two thousand won thousands
more to their convictions, so that in the
wear following nearly seven thousand
men chose the Chandler for their car.
And the car went on making friends
by it's performance in the hands OF
these owners.

The whole country marveled at this
wonderful motor. at its power, it's fleXi-
bility, it's life and getaway, and its en-
durance. The whole Chandler chassis
came to be recognized as great
mechanism.
So last year, 1916, it was hardly
surprising to those who really knew the
Chandler that more than thirteen thou

COAL SITUATION REMAINS
UNCHANGED 1000 CARS
UNABLE TO Be MOVED

There has been but slight change
in the local coal situation during the
past week. but from present authen-
fle reports, unless another heavy
storm occurs. things should be nor
NAL again the latter part OF this
week.
Some cars are coming in every day
and II is therefore possible to keep
the main line passenger train run
ming as usual and one train to the
mines each day.
The ID 4 II G. which has hereto
fore refused TO accept any empty
cars bound for the mines for coal.
last Friday commenced to accept a
few empties. and this is regarded as
very encouraging.
The district is singularly FORUM
ate in that by the foresight of the Of
fieials complete shutdown was
avoided and there has been no real
suffering While wood is bringing
high price. there Is plenty 10 sup
ply the demands. and the local coal
dealers have done very well by keep
ing consumers supplied. although
they have been obliged to deliver
small lots to different persons in or
der that the supply might be made
In reach all around.
II Ia said that 1000 cars OF coal
are now on the tracks between Salt
Lake and the mines. but II is impos-
sible to move them. When the
heavy storm came. the railroad
officials found IL necessary to use all
their power in an effort to keep the
road open. and In consequence Of this
fact they now find their side tracks
occupied with trains of coal abso-
lutely frozen in.

Switchman Killed in
Unavoidable accident

Frank Schultz, age 32, a switch
man employed by the Nevada Consol-
dated Copper Co. at Copper Flat.
WAS instantly killed a few minutes
after four O'Clock last Wednesday
morning, while engaged in his reg
ular line of work. According to
the information obtainable, Mr..
Schultz had been In this district but
n short time.
He was born in Lordsburg, New
Mexico, and his mother and foster
father now reside at Clifton, Ari
zona. The remains will be shipped
To New Mexico by the Wilson Bates
Undertaking company for burial.
Coroner n w Edwards in company
with Sheriff David Mclean visited
the scene OF the accident as soon az
the word was received of the unfor-
tunate accident. The coroner i'm
mediately selected a jury and an in
quest WAS held on Thursday.
From the evidence, 1t appeared
that Mr.. Schultz WAS riding on some
dump cars which were being pushed
into the pit. Another train was
coming from the opposite direction
and a head-on collision occurred at
a switch.
According to the story told BY
Switchman X y King. who was rid
ing on the front of his train, he saw
Mr. Schultz. and endeavored TO at
tract his attention. IL was bitter
cold. however, the snow was blowing
and Mr.. Schultz had a heavy woolen
cap pulled down over his ears for
protection lie had probably turn
ed his back to the driving snow and
was therefore unuable TO see the APP
preaching train or hear the warning
shouts OF Mr. King.
At the conclusion Of the testimony
the eoroner's jury brought in YER
diet finding that II was an unaVoid-
able accident.
