NO DROP LIKELY
IN AUTO PRICES

cit is my advice to everyone con-
sidering the purchase Of a motor car,
regardless of the make, to buy now
for he may have to pay a higher
price for it later on, because there Is
little prospect of lower prices in the
automobile industry" says John
Tainsh. general sales manager Of
Mitchell Motors Company, Inc, Ra-
cine, Wisconsin.
eff anything" continues Mr..
TainSh, prices will be advanced. Just
as long as steel and iron, the basic
metals used In automobile manufac-
ture, remain at present prices which
will remain as long as present steel
demands continue and long as
labor has to be paid prevailing wages,
we ca3not hope for any decrease in
Price of motor cars.
Those interested in the purchase
of automobiles who mentally ask
when will prices come down should
not be deceived by false hopes and
believe every automobile dealer in
the country should fearlessly answer
this question with the statement that
prices will not come down in the
near future. The automobile indus
try is not ovarstocked nor are auto
n obiIes overpI ICED The industry is
on a solid foundation but until the
cost of production can be reduced,
there can be no possible lowering of
prices"

of Brooklyn were expelled by vote
of go to AS, after hours of debate
during which the majority in the
lower house held that the Socialists
have not yet purged themselves OF
the disloya1ty for which they were
previously expelled.

Samuel o.. both of whom suffered
from the Spring custer, should re-

sertjon. that the republican. have acted 50 as

When charges not made specifically II
i, not easy to answer them in detail. As
sistant Secretary Of the Navy Roosevelt affords
reply to one section Of the onslaught from
the chairman, Mr.. Roosevelt stated he had to
break the law 900 times in order to get the navy
ready for war after We had gotten into IT, This
because Woodrow Wilson had resolutely
set his face against any step leading to prepara-
ton. Lndley N Garrison had resigned as sec
retary of war because Mr., Wilson reversed him
self in 1915, after declaring publicly that he
would advocate reasonable preparedness, and in
his stead Newton d. Baker, avowed pacihst, had
been placed over the army. Months after war
had been declared by congress, Mr. Baker an
swercd criticisms of his datory tactics with
the smiling statement that the war is 5000

Il IS very clear, then, that we might have
gotten an earlier start and have been in better

able to realize the situation 1t was not Sian

then the republican party is guilty. 1t has
