The Buick Dry Plate Clutch

ne exclusive patented features of the Buick disc
clutch minimize the effort and Skill necessary in
gear shifting, AID at the time provide clutch
mat is absolutely smooth and positive in operation
Under this patented construction, the heavy rota-
ting parts of the clutch carried by the f1ywheeI

MISSION, which accounts for the transmission gears
not spinning after clutch is disengaged thus pre-
venting the clashng of gears in shifting from one

The slightest pressure Of the foot will dsengage this
smooth acting Buick clutch, which makes it especial
ly popular with women drivers and those who drive
much in congested traffic.

hopeful the strike of .bituminous
miners Saturday may yet be
avoided, turned their attention to
indianapolis, where the lexecu-
tive board of the United Mine
Workers of America, is called to
meet. While some officials are
not optimistic, others believe the
miners answer to President Will
sons appeal will be favorable.
In the event of an adverse de-
cision, the government is pre-
pared to deal with any situation
that may arise.
Meanwhile Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator Harry Garfield today
discussed the threatened strike
with Secretary Tumulty at the
White House. Garfield, who still
has authority to function as fed

a settlement will be reached with
out a walk-out Of the miners. His

ROAD TAX CONTINUES
TO GAIN FRIENDS
Report That County Has Money
In Road Fund Now Is Prov
= Asn Incorrect Says Treasurer

4 7
Reports continue to come in
from all sections of the county
that sentiment on the g20-cent
road tax has changed in a. re-
sGrkable way since the appoint
Anent of a committee of business
men and farmers to supervise
the county's road program, and
: the pledge of the Fiscal Court
that the money each magisterial
4istrict pays into the special tax,
Yshall be expended upan the roads
of that district. No more power
full assurance could be given tha
each section of the county under
this new system will receive full
benefit Of every cent. of tax
money that it pays.
Reports have been circulated
in some quarters that there is ~
ne1 for more road money, as
TIN is ample in the county
treasury. The facts Of the case
as told by County Treasurer R.
E. Turley, are that the present
road tax produces about $4,000
a year. In anticipation of the
taxes which will soon be due,
the county has already borrowed
$4,000, and will soon have to
borrow the remaining $4,000 as
road work has already been
mapped out to cover that amount.
, From this it will be seen that al
most the full amount realized
from present road taxes for this
year has already been spent, and
the county now owes $4,000, to
the bank, WHICH will have to be
repaid. So that instead of there
being road money in the treasury.
the county owes $4,000 and will
soon owe the balance of $4,000
that is available for roads, as con-
tracts have been let for road
work to cover the full amount.
Madison cannot obtain more
and better roads unless more
money is allowed. No better OF
fairer system of apportionment
- of arranging road program
An be devised under present
laws than that under which the
extra road tax goes to a vote of
the people. There is no excuse
for any man who loves his coun-
ty and wants to see it go for
ward, to vote against the road
tax now.
