GOVERNOR AND
SENATE CLASHING
Senator Payne Introduces Measure
for Taking Appointments Out of
Hands OF Chief Executive.

Montpelier, April 7.-Smoldering
embers of disagreement between Gov
ernor p W. Clement and the Senate
of the General Assembly broke into
fame in the Senate chamber this eve
ming, and developed into a confaga-
tion which carried everything before
it. The whole big program started
when Senator Payne introduced a
new bill, S. 1913, which provides that
all officers required by law to be
filed by appointment by the governor
biennially in the month of January,
with the advice and consent of the
Senate, that were not filed and con-
flrmed by the Senate during the pres
ent session Of the legislature prior to
March /. 1919, shall be filed by cleo
tion by the General Assembly in joint
assembly at such time as the General
Assembly may by joint resolution pre-
scribe. Under suspension OF the
rules, his bill was put through vari-
GUS stages Of legislation and passed.
Immediately afterward, Senator
Stuart of Caledonia introduced a reso
luton to rescind the agreement upon
final adjournment at noon on We'd
nesday and directing final adjourn
ment at a time to be later agreed up
on. This resolution was strenuously
opposed by Senator LaFleur. a mem
Der of the committee on final adjourn
ment, he said that he knew nothing
about 1t and thought that the legisla-
ture ought to adjourn on Wednesday.
II had been learned shortly before
this that the governor had signed the
resolution providing for final adjourn
ment on Wednesday

GOOD WILL IN AUTO TRADE
Dodge Brothers Give the Words
New Meaning


Statement of Dodge Brothers war
activities is due the owners of their
cars. Dodge Brothers refrained. dur.
ing the progress of the war, from any
reference to the performance of their
car in United States Government ser
vice. 1t seems proper now, however,
to disclose the facts, because they are
unusual facts, ts,-intensifying that good
will which owners Of Dodge Brothers
cars always manifested.
Dodge Brothers car was the only
car OF its class approved and adopted
by the war department.
The principal war service required
Of Dodge Brothers motor works by
the Government was to continue TO
furnish their cars as they were need
ed And they were furnished not in
hundreds but in thousands-both for
the training camps here, and for ser
vice in Belgium, France, and Italy.
The record of those thousands of cars
used in all kinds of hard service.
is one in which any owner may feel
the utmost pride and satisfaction.
Their performance amply justified the
compliment implied in their selection
by the Government.
The other service required of Dodge
Bros. by the Government was to full
nll an important duty designated by
the Ordnance Department, and, in a
separate Ordnance Works, built es-
pecially for the purpose, costing mil
lions of dollars, and employing thous-
ands of their skilled motor work
men, Dodge Brothers rapidly and sat.
isfactory turned out the product re.
quested by the Ordnance Department,
, Without the aid of their great motor
organization, they could not have full
filed this heavy obligation which
they were asked to assume. The
great works in which nearly three
hundred thousand of their cars have
been produced in the past four years
furnished vast store.house Of hu
man energy and equipment for the
ordnance work
Naturally It will take time to ad
just motor works to its full accustom
ed activity but gradually Dodge
Brothers will resume the gratefu
task of continuing to deserve the
goodwill of America-and indeed, o
the whole world Deliveries of new
cars will be slow for a time, but 4
will not be long before Dodge Broth
ers will again be turning out thei
cars as fast as their big factory will
permit, and the demand for IN,
Dodge Brothers car more nearly sat
ished than is yet possible.
Dodge Brothers consider goodwill
their most valuable possession.
They will never knowingly do any
thing to lessen It.

"In the Commissions decision on

This is apparent from the fact
that the prospering Capital Traction

their complaints against the street car

Mr.. Schwab's speech follows:
Boys, 1 have a great establishment
up at Bethlehem, and / want to tell
you something about 1t. I started this
plant about fifteen years ago. Last
year its business was exceeded by
but one corporation in tho United
States-the United States Steel Cor
poration- It did not take experienced
men to develop II. When I went up
to Bethlehem 1 did not take a single
man with me who was an expert
went into the field and selected fif-
teen young nen-boys-ani 1 seIecte d
them not because OF their knowledge
OF the steel business, but simply be-
cause Of their sterling qualities.
In the first year Of the war Lord
Kitchener, who was a friend of mine.
caoled me to come over. This was
before we became involved in the war.
We need shells. guns. everything
you can make
told him what we could do: he
didn't think il possible. We under
took II. and. according to Lloyd
georges report, the Bethlehem Steel
company gave England more muni-
tons during the first year of the war
than all the manufacturers of Eng
land.
Churchill. who was at the head of
the Navy Department. said. I'VE need
submarines. You probably do not
know that no submarines had been
ouilt In less than a year and a half,
and that was called good work. You
VIII probably be surprised when /
tell you that Bethlehem Steel Work 3
ouilt twenty-five submarines in five
months and a half and sent them
across the seas under their own
power.
From the beginning Of the war to
the end Of the war half the munitions
used came from the Bethlehem Steel
Works
The Bethlehem Steel Company sup
Piled the United States all her ships

heet nearly all the merchant ships
built in the United States.
If there Is anything I can do to
assist you. I want you to remember
everything that is humanity possible
TO help you get along in life. Write
TO me, come to see me; let me know
what your aims AID aspirations are.
and let me see II can help.
