pean made cars. The frame strength and rigidity directly effects the life and durability of the body. The new Max well frame will be heavier than any comparable car.
 The great changes though are in the motor and rear construction. The mo- tor pistons are of a high grade cast steel construction but are designed in such a way that they can be made ten ounces lighter. The transmission IS heavier and of conventional type eX- cept it has a transmission service brake of wonderful efficiency. A rams horn manifold and hot spot is regular equipment.
 Rear construction of the car is en- tirely changed. It is much heavier and stronger in every way with the pinlon and drive shaft in one piece using an- nular frictionless bearing iberally.

 BE REVELATION SAYS
 STATEMENT BY ROPER

That the new Maxwell of the vintage of 1920 will be a revelation to the pub lie is the statement, by wire of R. D. Roper who has been in the aest more than a month. MT. Roper is one of the first auto dealers to actually obtain first-hand information regarding the new car and he is enthusiastic in the extreme over the new model.
 Embodying as it does, he says, all of those features that really were proven of paramount importance as a result of war experience of automobile engine CTS, the 1920 Maxwell will be of a de- sign more modern than any car of any make ever offered in Phoenix
 As to lines and general body appear ance, it will be a smaller edition of the Chalmers, using the pattern of the high Chalmers radiator, hood, lenders and running board shields. The doors will be equipped with new anti-rattle patent that will effectually do away with the general nuisance that all cars not so equipped on Arizonas rough roads are subject to. The frame will be abnormally strong and deep for so light a car This feature states Roper, is one of the chief things proven dur ing the war. All American made cars used a frame much lighter than Euro

automobile industry in Phoenix and community. Growth has never been so great as during this spring and summer, and many firms have already started or are planning their own homes. Hundreds of thousands of dol lars are represented in the business in this city.
 s. E. Lannis, local Mitchell repre- sentative, has returned from Prescott and other northern points, where he spent several days on. a combined business and pleasure trip.
 Babbitt Bros, like many other deal- CTS, are experiencing some difficulty in securin gsufficient machines to sup ply the local demand. Especially is this true with Bucks, the popularity of which in this community has in creasfed many fold during the past few weeks.

HIGH PRICED INVESTIGATIONS.

1t is three weeks since the govern
ment turned its attention to the high
cost of living, but little has been ac-
complished. Many bills or resolutions
have been introduced in congress ask
ing large appropriations to pay ex-
penses of Investigations. If all re-.
quests were granted they would amount
to several million dollars The attor-
ney general and subordinates have
seized large stores of eggs, meat, flour
and some sugar on the charge they were
being boarded, but in many cases the
goods have been returned 10 the own
ers as it was found they were being
legitimately held for fulfilling contracts
or to supply the market during non
productive periods. No reduction in
prices has been noted in any staple
food, but the attorney general claims
he has heard there will be some.
There is little prospect of really bene-
fetal results from all this hue and cry
because the investigators are trying to
ignore the real causes of present high
prices. The real cause is greatly re-
stricted production owing to the war
and the unreasonable shortening of
hours for labor. Shortening of hours
reduces production every time. Still
different unions are demanding six in
stead of eight hour days and enormous
increases in wages. Very high percent
ages of profit are allowed every inter
est in the distribution of the goods from
the factory to the consumer. These are
too high, but unless the government has
the power to fix reasonable profit for
distributors it can do little to relieve
the public from high prices. So long
as the public acquicsces in the unrea-
sonablc charges of labor it will have to
pay enormous prices for its goods,
The government may continue its
present course of investigation as long
as it pleases but it will not materially
affect the commercial and industrial
conditions 1t looks now as though all
we shall get will be a very high priced
investigation added to the other high
prices of the time.
