SOLONS IN LOBBY
Senator Price Makes Charge
Against the 1917 House.
Says Representatives Worked
in Interest Insurance Firms.

Senator Price, chairman of the judi
ciary committee and recognized as one
of the keenest lawyers in the senate,
took occasion to say some unkind
things about insurance lobbyists in
general and Observation-Disclosures in par
ticular when the senate, sitting as a
committee of the whole, had under
Consideration a bill by Senator Carroll
providing for elimination of time limit
recovery in insurance contracts.
An effort was being made to have
the bill referred back to committee
and Senator Carroll was insisting that
it be recommended for passage with
out delay. asserting that it was bill
that would render a much needed re-
lief to certain insurance policy hold
ers of the state.
Former Bills Had Joker.
st have no doubt about the SINGER
ity of Senator Carroll" Price said,
land 1 do not question that he
believes this to be a much needed
measure and one that will give relief
to policy holders. But I do know that
certain lobbyists have in the past sue
ceeded in getting members of the leg
islature to introduce bills that were
not what they seemed and that in
stead of circumscribing the insurance
companies only gave them what they
wanted. / know that / myself at the
last session of the legislature intro
duced two insurance bills and that
these bills were killed by paid
Observation-Disclosures in the other end
of this building. 1 am unprepared to
say whether or not this is a good bill
and for this reason /, as an individual
senator, would like to see it looked
| into further. 1 do not ask that it be
referred to the judiciary committee,
but 1 do think it should be referred to
some committee for further consider
alton"
Carroll Defends Measure.
A motion was made by Senator
Getty that the bill be referred TO the
| judiciary committee, but this motion
/ failed to carry. Then Senator Carroll
said:
| Il want to assure the members of
| the senate that not a single insurance
man, attorney or any one else consult
| ed me about this bill. 1t is my own
| and If there is any joker in it, L want
| to bear the blame. However. in order
that there may be no question about
| its merit and that it may be put to
the test, move that it be recommend
ed for passage subject to amendment
and debate"
This motion was carried.

For some time, now, the production Of
Goodyear Tires has been sustained at
point beyond anything previously re-
corded in the tire industry.
Over several months, the output Of the
Goodyear Akron factories alone has
appropriated $4,000 finished Good
year Tires day, while the daily produc>
ton of our Canadian plant has well
exceeded 1000.
1t is SO evident that even this unprece>
dented total will not meet all needs that
we are now at work on plant in Los
Angeles which will afford us several
thousand tires additional daily capacity.
In other words, the demand for Good
year Tires has assumed such immense
proportions as to make our present
4 enormous production all too small.
Behind this demand on the part Of the
public is no other thing than the con-
sistenhy fine service Goodyear Tires
everywhere deliver users.
No fictitious discounts, no delusive
guarantees, no expedients Of any sort
have been employed to stimulate
artifcially the steady advance in sales.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-08-13

Purely on the intrinsic merit Of the
product, and the fau1tless character
Of its performance, rests the unex>
ampled leadership that Goodyear
Tires enjoy.
Certainly Goodyear Tires must en-
body. conspicuous superiority thus
to win and hold the allegiance Of the
largest single group Of tire>buyers in
the world.
We are devoting our whole energies
to the expansion Of our production,
in an endeavor to establish ample
stocks Of Goodyear Tires everywhere.
In the meantime we suggest that you
let your Goodyear Service Station
Dealer show you how to give proper
care to the Goodyear Tires you now
have, as means Of assuring you their
maximum usefulness.
He will be glad to instruct you in the
application Of Goodyear Tire-Savers,
which are designed especially to pre-
vent troubles and to prolong tire life.
Your return from their use will be not
only increased satisfaction, but very
material profit in added mileage.

tone continued strong.
There were a few weak features.
notably American Telephone, which
