Petition Filed.

The statement issued by the attor-
ney general follows.
Eugene V. Debs has. filed no petit
ton with either the president or the
encouragement asking for the exercise
OF executive ClemenCy. The facts In
his case are such that until a petition
Is made by him, | shall feel called
upon TO make no recommendations In
his case. Debs was convicted not be-
cause Of his political or economic views
but because he plainly violated the law
OF the land.
ON June IS, 1918, during the most
critical period Of the war, Debs made
a public speech at Canton, Ohio, In
which he urged that wage earners re-
frain from giving any aid to the Amer
lCan nation in the war, asserting that
the war was brought on and conducted
solely in the interest Of capitalists, told
his audience that they needed to know
that they were fit for something bet

urged wage earners to stand together

Unparalleled
Demand

The demand for trucks for com
mercial use THIS YEAR is greater
than ALL the trucks built in this
country for private use in the last
FOUR YEARS. Just as the freight
carrying business of the railroads
entirely dwarfed the passenger car
rylng business, SO the demand for
the freight carrying motor truck is
beginning to RUN AWAY from the
passenger carrying automobiles. 1t
is becoming so that a man CAN
have a pleasure car if he feels he
can afford it, but he MUST have a
FLEET of Motor Trucks in his
business or he cannot hope to equal
the low costs of his competitors.
At the Chicago and New York
Motor Truck shows Just concluded
the Truck Company whose stock
we offer you was besieged by
Truck dealers, who sought to place
orders for more trucks for THIS
YEAR than the company has man
ufactured in the last THREE years,
and their output has been large.
You CAN'T turn the clock
back ten years and buy the
original issue of REQ stock and
so run $1,000 into $4,000, like
Billy Grove did. But you CAN
secure stock in this Motor
Truck Company which has the
opportunity for growth and
earnings in the next three
years to a volume which should
make pleasure car earnings
look SMALL.

A Few Examples.

In eight years the investment
of $1,000 in stock of the Chal-
mers Motor Company grew to
Sl6,666 stock and earned 1927
cash dividends. In six years
$1,000 stock OF the Stutz Motor
Car Company of Indiana grew
to $1,000 stock and earned
S2l,750 in cash dividends. In
the Hudson Motor Car Com
pany $1,000 stock grew to
$4,000 stock in FOUR A
and in addition the company
paid cash dividends which have
not been made public. In the
Hupp Motor Car Company
$1,000 stock grew in seven
years to $4,000 stock and
earned SAB, 100 cash dividends.
In the REQ Motor Car Com
pany in thirteen years $1,000
stock grew to $4,000 stock and
earned $l2,850 cash dividends.
In addition the company in
1918 distributed to its stock
holders 100000 stock in the
REQ Motor Truck Company,
equal to a 80 per cent dividend,
and THEN, afterward, paid a 7
per cent cash dividend on the
stock of the Truck Company.
Due to the rapid growth of the
Motor Industry, it has been custom
airy for concerns with large earn
ings to declare stock dividends to
stockholders. Thus a company with
10000 shares Of common stock and
net earnings of 100000 for the
year would be able to pay a cash
dividend of $4,000 to each owner
of $1,000 of common stock. But
rather than make such an unbal-
anced payment they would prob
ably-as they frequently do-first
increase the capitalization and give
each owner of $1,000 of common
stock perhaps $4,000 MORE COM
mon stock and THEN pay a cash
dividend Of 25%, giving him
$4,000 in cash on the common
stock which he then owned. Its
MARKET value, or the price a
stock paying such dividends should
bring in case the owner wanted to
sell it, would probably be about
$4,000. One good year with bust
ness conditions prosperous has en-
abled many automobile companies
to make net earnings of over 49,
100000. Net earnings of 100000
900, $2O,0O0,O0O and even $4O,-
100000 for a single year are not
uncommon. That is how so many
comfortable fortunes have grown
from very small investments in the
MOTOR Industry. That is why it
is entirely possible for YOU to
place $500 In the Preferred Stock
we offer you, have your money safe
ly and soundly invested, with an
excellent opportunity to have the
COMMON stock which goes with
the preferred grow to 100000 or
more in a time not far distant.
