With the opening of the big automobile
advertising programmes for the year 1890
Gilbert U. Radoye director OF advertising
for the Haynes Automobile Company, Ko-
koma, Ind, announces the launching
of an extensive newspaper automobile ad-
vertising campaign by the Haynes COM
pany.
Heretofore" says Mr.. Radoye. "there
have been almost as many plans for
newspaper advertising cooperation be-
tween the automobile dealer and the fac
tory as there are automobile companies.
These plans have varied in the amount
Of cooperation given. from the supplying
of mats and stereotypes only to the fifty
fifty plan of dividing the newspaper ad-
vertsing expense equally between the fac
tory and the dealer. Few it, any COM
panies have worked out a plan that has
been entirely satisfactory to both dealers
and manufacturers.
''It remains for the advertising division
of the Haynes Automobile Company to
take the decisive step along this line that
Will undoubtedly mark the turning point
in the manner in which automobile COM
panies will plan and handle newspaper ad-
vertising. The program Of the Haynes
company, as originated by Mr.. Radoye, Is
vast and comprehensive one, and in

Of Haynes character car advertising for
newspapers in every market of the United
States throughout the entire year. without
expense to the dealer.
Newspaper advertising is an Invaluable
aid to the successful merchandising OF
automobile" says Mr.. Radoye in dis
cussing the new project, "and few dealers
have taken full advantage of this fact
or realize the necessity of consistent ad-
vertising in their local newspapers.
after an exhaustive and intensive study
of the question we have hit upon our pres

has been greeted by our dealers with en-
thusiasm. 1t is the logical step and one
which, in my opinion, will be taken
eventually by all motor car companies. =

up and the advertisements will be released
to the newspapers direct from the Haynes

to do advertising in addition to this fac

"Under this plan the Haynes company is

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Interchurch World Movement

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As your editorial in Wednesdays pa- per, Another Drive Proves a Failure" was misleading. No billion dollar drive for church funds has ever been made, in this country or any other. The In- terchurch World Movement. proposes to get the facts as to conditions and needs throughout the wordl and then aid the Protestant denominations in facing the facts in big way. In the Atlantic City conference, in January, the facts ai- ready gotten together justified the Va. rious leaders in saying that the churches in America should plan to raise more than a billion dollars during the next five years.
 This was for all missionary work. both home and foreign, denominationai schools, hospitals, orphanages and every other beneyolence usually carried by the churches. Will any one dare to say that all the Protestant churches in America should not contribute more than two hundred million dollars annually for the next five years?
 Many of the denominations could not participate in drive" this spring, for the reason that their work was planned otherwise; but thirty denominations did participate, asking their congregations for an aggregate of $22O, ,000.0 900, the largest part for this year. That campaign was a success. for those denominations have realized pledges and cash amounting to more than $200.000, ,00O-the biggest thing financially ever done by the churches in this country. It is not as easy to raise money now as it was last year and it ts safe to say that those denominations would not have realized anything like so much had they not participated in the Interchurch campaign.
 The Citizens fund" fell down, and that is what has put the Interchurch in bad way. The movement has not failed; evangelical Christianity is far the better off by reason of it's plans and ideals. It is much to be regretted that word has gone out that certain denominations have withdrawn from the movement. Not single denomination has outrightly with drawn from it. The Northern Presbyte- rians demanded reorganization on more economical and less formidable basis and appropriated $10o.0O0 to help pay ext penses. The Northern Baptists took similar position and appropriated s6o.WV for expenses. The general committee had already seen the necessity of reorganiza- tion and plans were under way when those and other judicatories met. The movement has been very much misunder- stood. The general committee is to meet July for the purpose of completing the reorganization. Whatever may happen to the Interchurch World Movement as an organiza tion. it's principles are fun damental to the better church life of this country and will abide.

LAWS OF THE
SPECIAL SESSION

The laws passed at the extra
ordinary session Of the legislature
called by Governor Shoup last
December have been published
and the voters have an opportun-
ity to learn exactly what was
ucne.
Three laws were enacted: The
Anarchy and Sedition act, the
Automobile Theft act, and an act
Providing Support for Denpend-
ents of State Militia while they
were on duty.
The special session appropriat-
ed over half million dollars.
This did not include the expenses
of the extra session as that was
drawn from money which had
been appropriated by the regular
session. They also appropriated,
or to be more exact, allowed the
secretary of state to use ten
thousand dollars annually to aid
in enforcing the automobile theft
law, and submitted an amend
ment to the constitution for the
people to vote upon, raising the
salary of the governor to ten
thousand dollars per annum; the
salaries of the supreme judges to
seven thousand dollars per an
mum, and giving the judges of
the district courts an annual sal
ary of five thousand dollars.
About the only creditable act
the legislature did was to ratify
the woman suffrage amendment.
The Anarchy and Sedition law
was an unnecessary act and will
only serve to cucumber the stat
utes, and it is very doubtful
whether a criminal charge will
ever be preferred under the law.
The joker in the Automobile
act is the ten thousand dollars to
be used by the secretary of state
in enforcing the law. We have a
commission to enforce the game
laws, we had a constabulary to
enforce the prohibition law, we
have commission to enforce the
compensation law. Why should
we create commission at great
expense to the state to enforce
any special act? We have district
attorneys, courts and sheriffs
whose duty it is to enforce all
law. Why do we need special COM
missions to enforce special acts?
The session voted away fifty
thousand dollars daily besides it's
expenses. Some session that!
