LOVERS OF ANIMALS
SPEAK FOR THEM
DIR. Francis II. ROwIcy and Others
Appear at Hearing i'm Behalf of
Measure to Stop Use of Cruel
Methods in Training.

BOSTON, Mass. - Lovers of ami
mails in the United States, in Great
Britain, South Africa, South Amer
lea, Siam. in many countries through
out the world. are organizing in
greatly increased numbers each year
in order that united action may be
taken in bringing about the enact
ment OF laws which will more and
more make it impossible for animals
10 be trained by cruel methods for
public exhibition. said DR.. Francis H.
Rowley, president of the American
Humane Education Society and the
Massachusetts Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, at hear
ing at the state house, as petitioner of
the bill prohibiting the use or exhibi-
ton of dumb animals in theaters,
parks, and other pleasure resorts.
DR.. Rowley and the organizations
with which he has been long connect
ed have become convinced after much
study and the prosecution of unmer-
Gus cases of cruelly-treated animals
that were being used for public per-
formance, that trainers of animals in
difficult and thrilling acts who accom-
plish their end by the means of kind
ness instead of cruelty are the rare
few. and hence the necessity for the
law.
Evidence was produced at the hear
ing to show that, even after the ami
mails had become proficient in their
acts, they were frequently prodded
into the performing of the acts. The
close confinement in which perform
ing.s azaimSae are usually kept was
pointed out as being as cruel as the
training methods.
Though DR.. Rowley indicated thai
the circus was not intended to come
under the bill, representatives from
circuses now wintering in Connecticut
and New York were introduced by the
opposition to tell how the animals OF
their shows were trained by kind
methods. declaring that the animals
could be trained in no other manner
These opponents also put stress upon
the magnitude of the business and
the property invested.
A member of the legislative COM
mittee then caused the point to be
made clear that if a business fOstered
cruelty, property or money invest
ments could have nothing to do with
the case.

AMAZING STORY OF THE
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Computation OF Figures Make Start
ling Reading to Those not in
Touch with Big Growth.

Unofficial figures compiled from va
rious sources tell wonderful and
amuzing story of the automobile in
.dustry in 1919.
Ninety manufacturers of passenger
automobiles and 10 builders of mo-
tor trucks in 80 states, employing
$4,000, produced approximately l.
|5S6,IS1 passenger cars and 3O5,142
trucks, valued at $1.SO7.593.892 in
the last > months
A small group of automobile tire
manufacturers produced more than
half of the 30.OOO,OOO tires made in
1919. with the other half manufac-
tured by 213 small companies. OF
the entire total the Goodyear Tire &.
Rubber company made nearly 7,OOO,-
900 tires, or 20 per cent. In 1920
it is estimated that 100000 tires
will be produced, of which this COM
pany will produce about 25 per cent.
Automobile exports last year were
of startling totals. The value of mo-
tor vehicles and parts sent abroad
to 81 countries was $146,334,516. OF
which 62,624 were passenger cars
valued at $6S.945,74O, while 14,74S
were commercial vehicles worth $35,.
372,419. The values of parts export.
ed was $42,O16,2S4.
1t is estimated that there were in
1919. 62,O36 automobile dealers
garages and repair shops in the
United States. OF the total, 32,317
were passenger car dealers, 18.943
were truck dealers, 36,427 were
garages and 43,381 were repair shops
| Farmers were the largest users OF
motor trucks, owning 10 per cent
more than manufacturers and Is pc,
cent more than retailers. 1t is esti.
mated that 40 per cent of the car out
put was sold to farmers last year.
The 100000 motor vehicles in
use in the United States, of which
100000 are motor trucks, brought
$65. 100000 revenue to states from
license fees.
Mathematicians figure that there
are 1896 persons in the country to
every automobile and two cars in the
country for every square mile.
Lover sof horse flesh will view with
sadness the fact that 3,6O0,O0O horses
were displaced by motor trucks last
year. At the same time it is esti-
mated that 100000 acres of land
were released for food production by
the use of trucks.

FORD PLANT MAKES 100000
AUTOMOBILES IN HALF YEAR
Company Expects to Make More Thar
One Million Automobiles
Yearly.

When the first six months of the
Motor Company fiscal year ended.
January 81, more than half million
of the sturdy little Fords had left the
factory to join their three and half
million brothers and sisters on the
worlds highways. And Ford officials
express confidence in their ability to
turn loose the other half of the mil
lion by July 1st, when their year
ends.
However, they say that million
a year is far from the ultimate in
motor car manufacturing; and that
with the completion of the blast fur
naces and body plants which Henry
Ford is now building in Detroit, the
yearly output capacity is bound to
assume larger dimensions. The pres
ent capacity is 100000.
The blast furnace project on which
Mr.. Ford has been working for the
past three years will enable the Ford
company to make Ford parts direct
from the iron ore instead Of buying
the iron ingots and then melting
them before making into parts. AT
the present time there are approXl-
mately $1,000 men engaged at the
blast furnaces and in the new body
plant. But it is quite probable that
that number will be more than
doubled once the steel mills-W which
will be the largest in America-begin
TO operate. Ford men do not attempt
to place any estimate on what the
production of cars will be in the
future. but point to the fact that they

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY
FORCED TO RAISE RATES
Willapa Electric Company Ordered to
More Than Double It's Rates for
Lighting in South Bend.

The public service commission
Wednesday entered an order direct
ing the Willapa Electric Company to
charge 81 minimum rate for lights
in South Bend, where they had been
charging only 40 cents fiat rate.
There are two companies operating
in South Bend. the Willapa Electric
Company, Raymond corporation,
with a franchise in South Bend, and
a new company. the Willapa Harbor
Power Company. organized by South
Bend capitalists.
The South Bend company, unable
to get a franchise in Raymond and
with not enough power to sell to
Raymondites, was in competition
with the Raymond company only in
South Bend. 1t therefore was at a
disadvantage.
The public service commission has
by this order come to the aid Of thc
new company by compelling the old
company to raise it's rates so that the
new company can live. The attitude
Iof the commission does away with
competition. 1t is socialism gone to
seed.
The socialists have contended that
the competitive system is entirely
wrong. but it remains for the public
service commission of this state to
make the first try-out of legally abol-
ishing competition. A high pro
tective" tariff limits competition, but
this order seems to abolish ii entirely
so far as public service corporations
are concerned,

LAND SETTLEMENT ACT
HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
SUPREME COURT SAYS DEVELOP.
PURPOSE" AND SOLDIERS MAY
BE BENEFITED THAT WAY
QUITE AS LEGALLY AS By PEN
SIONS.

The supreme court this week hand
ed down decision in which the land
settlement act passed by the 1913
Legislature to provide farms for sol
diers is held valid. The opinion was
written by Judge Parker and con
Cured in by Judges Tolman. Bridges
Mitchell, Main and Fullerton. Chief
Justice 0. r. Holcomb. in separate
opinion. coEcurs in the conclusion
reached in the majority opinion
Judges Macintosh and Mount dis
sent.
Constitutionality of the act which
was passed by the 1919 session to
provide means whereby soldiers, sail
ors and marines who served in the
war against Germany and also indus
trial workers and other American cit
izens might settle upon and become
owners of small improved farms was
contested by State Auditor Clau-
sen. who refused to issue warrants
| for payment for land purchased by
/
the land settlement board for the
purpose of carrying out provisions of
the act.
| His contention was that the act
Violated the constitution in seeking
to take public funds raised by taxa
ton for private purposes. claiming
that the development of unimproved
land for sale to private individuals
did not constitute a public purpose
within the meaning of the constitu-
tion.
The majority opinion of the court
is based upon the theory that devel-
opment OF unoccupied land under a
land policy which encourages the set
tlement by homecoming farmers
will materially contribute to the well
fare of the people as whole. in
crease the wealth of the state and
make for better citizenship.
The objection was raised that the
Legislation is designed to benefit pri-
Ivate individuals rather than the
people as a whole because of the fact
that preference is given to former
soldiers, sailors or marines. In an
swer to this the court says that If
this agreement holds good no PEN
sion legislation would ever have been
possible
