The Majestic theatre showed to good houses yesterday at both the matinee and night performances and the mat inee performance especially wos viewed by a large crowd. The Mad docks-Park company of players IS growing in favor every day and "Un- der Arizona Skies" is proving draw ing card of rare merit. The lightin g effects through the rainstorm scene are especially beautiful and. unlike some rainstorms on the stage, this one does not start in with big splash and last only second or so. but starts in as gently as sDriMs shower and gradually works up to a real western storm and lasts fully 10 minutes. The varying play of the lighting effects makes this especially beautiful

Of BURLESON
House Demands Inquiry Into
Alleged Irregularities
POLITICAL PREFERENCE
Civil Service Advancement System
Ignored In Cases Of Two Hun
dred Postmasters

Washington, Sept 1.-THE House
took the FIRST step today in the pro-
posed investigation of the many com
plants against the official acts of
Postmaster-G General Burleson with the
purpose of determining whether inn
peachment proceedings should be
brought against him.
Democrats joined with Republicans
in passing by vote OF 247 to % a res
olution of Representative Lehibach
IN. J.), which orders an inquiry into
the charges that the Postmaster-Gen-
eral has violated the Presidential or
der of March 81, 1917, providing that
all postmaster appointments shall be
made on the highest ratings of the
Civil Service Commission, If the char
acter OF the highest eligible is good.
The resolution was prompted by
the charges of Charles M. Galloway,
Democrat, who when he resigned
from the Civil Service Commission
charged that Mr.. Burleson had re-
fused to accept the recommendations
of the commission and instead chose
men with political advantages for the
postal positions.
Mr.. Lehlbach is urging the passage
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1919-09-12

of the resolution said that informal in
formation had come to the committee
on reform in the civil service, of
which he is chairman, that Mr.. Bur
Lesson had refused to accept the recon
mendations of the commission in 200
cases throughout the country. There
were ten such cases in New Jersey
alone, he said. Mr.. Lehlbach assert
ed that it was the practice OF the Post
master-General to refuse to make the
appointments suggested by the COM
mission when they did not suit him
politically and keep in office men of
his political learnings chosen to fill the
places temporarily Mr.. Burleson
has kept his desired temporary ap-
pointees in Office as long as eighteen
months after the commission has
made other recommendation for per-
manent officials, he said, mentioning
the cases at Newark and Boston as
examples.
The resolution calls on the Post
master-General to furnish the House
first with list of all the postmaster
vacancies since the Presidential or
der was issued; second, list of
tnoSe Vacancles tnat nave poon ooi
fed to the Civil Service Commission
for the purpose of finding the most
capable appointee; third, list OF GER
tifications to the Department by the
commission as the result of the ex-
aminations of the men eligible for ap-
pointment, with the dates when such
certihcations were received; fourth,
a list of all offices now without per-
manent postmasters.

With these words Colonel Luke Lea,
former United States senator from

Ten thousand men and women

FIVE MILLION TONS-the load Of one
hundred thousand freight cars stretching from
New York to Chicago-the cargo capacity of
two hundred and twelve Leviathans-a
weight greater than the effective tonnage of
the combined navies of the United States,
Great Britain and France
All this is being carried daily as unnecessary
dead weight by six and half million
American motor cars and trucks!
And YOU, whether you own a Car or not,
YOU are helping to pay the bill! YOU are
helping to shoulder the burden of excess weight
as it is passed down to you through the chan
nels of trade i'm the form of increased prices
for the things you buy.
YOU are affected by excess weight because
gasoline, oil, tires, motor transportation
in general are so closely interviewer with
the commercial fabric of the country, that
anything affecting the price of these products
affects the price of ALL products.
Excess weight exacts an annual toll of at
least one hundred and sixty millions of dollars
in unnecessary automobile repairs, four hun
dred millions of dollars in unnecessary gasoline
expense and one and one-half billions of
dollars in unnecessary tire expense.
And YOU are helping to pay the bill!

Excess weight in motor cars and motor trucks
places a burden ON the American people
that is nineteen times greater than the yearly
interest on the First Liberty Loan.
And YOU are helping to pay the bill
Excess weight is insidious. Unobserved by the
average man, it is eating into the fuel supply.
1t is cutting into American pocket-books.
1t is helping to keep the cost of living HIGH.
But the Car of less than a thousand pounds,
of thirty to forty miles to the gallon of gaso-
line, of at least twenty thousand miles to the
set of tires, the Car that will carry NO
excess weight-THAT CAR WILL COME!
1t will come to conserve the gasoline supply, the
impending shortageof which threatens to retard
the future growth of the motor Car industry.
1t will come to bring motor car convenience
to the man who today can afford to BUY
car, but who cannot afford to RUN one.
1t will come because public economy and
private purse-YOUR purse-demand the
elimination of excess weight-demand more
mileage for every dollar spent for gasoline and
oil and tires-demand the Car that directly and
indirectly will best serve the greatest needs
of the greatest number. "THE Car of the
Future will be LIGHTWEIGHT Car!!"
