yocate of the Parker cause we have.
therefore, the cOnfesiOSn that the peo-
ole are aroused against Governor Pleas
ants Board Of Affairs because it has
laid heavier burdens OF taxation on
their shoulders when The Governor and
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Gamble and all
the big and little Lam Of the pres
emf discredited administration promls-
cd them the reverSp-that its effects
would be to distribute these burdens,
putting more of the weight on the rich
man and the corporation, and taking
it off the little fellow.
Illustrative of how the law has OPP
Grated was LUMINOSITY shown a few
lays ago in a letter to the Times from
McDade. La. Whereas the taxes OF the
! corporations in BoSsier parish had been
cut S11 900 in a year. those Of the peo-
pie at large had risen $4,000.
But though Mr.. Walker has made
this confession, MIR. Parker has lodged
the issue. Where does he stand on it?
Surely no one can tell from the ignOr-
ance of the law and the effects of its
operation which he displayed the other
day, when he was quizzed about it, as
he spoke to the voters of Caldwell par
ish at Columbia.
If miracle should happen, and Mr..
Parker be elected, will he take steps
to abolish the Board or to require its
members to be elected by the people,
or, out of a sense of gratitude to the
Executive who is trying to put him
in office, will he stand for its perpetual
ton?
If he takes a stand with the people
for wiping out of the Board, or strip
ping the Governor of the authority to
control it, he must condemn and re-
buke the man who made him a candi-
date and wuold be responsible for his
election. If he refuse stO do either, he
will deny the people the relief they are
demanding.
Let the people take no chances now
with Mr. Parker, even if, with his
campaign waning in strength, he is
suddenly compelled to take a position
on this vital issue.

OF Affairs is clear and uneQuivocal, and

Announcing
Packard Single Six

AS an Instance of this, in our test driving
in cross,country runs, we have made over
twenty miles to the gallon of gasoline. Of
course, in congested city driving, the mile,
age will not be SO high.
Average tire mileage can be expected to
exceed $4,000 miles. In our extensive
experimental driving Of this new car, we
have had some tires in fair condition at
the end of 900 miles,
1t is an agreeable car to operate, having
the easiest possible steering, the lightest
clutch action, the shortest turning radius,
and, we believe. all those qualities that
you would like to have il lightweight
car for general purposes.

But there has for years been an insistent
demand for another car to supplement the
Twin Six: car Of shorter wheelbase and
lighter weight, general.purpose car Of
great maneuverability in traffic, one that
would park in short space at the curb.
And the demand was that this light car
should give unusual gasoline mileage and
tire mileage, and finally, that it should be
designed and built Packard-wise, and
therefore be able to keep out of the repair
shop longest and to require least attention
from its owner or driver.
We thought it over and studied the
problem for a good many years, during
all of which we were accommodating ex-
perience in the design and production of
the highest possible grade of car.
We have at various times during the
past ten years designed lightweight COM
panion to our larger cars, but were never
entirely satisfied with our efforts.
Then the war broke out in 1914, and
believing that America would inevitably
become involved, VIC turned our attention
to designing airplane engines, and from
then to the close Of the war, had thor
oughly successful experience in designing
and manufacturing airplane motors, which,
as you Know, must give the greatest power
with the least possible weight.
