STANDARDS FOR
 MOTOR CARS IN
 PUbL|C'S HANDS

It is within the power of the mo- torlns public to make automobiles measure up to their requirements" says Bert O. Brown, local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars.
 The success of any automobile de- bends on the degree to which it gives purcnasers what they want and need.
 In buying car see that you get all that your money calls for. If you are not judge of mechanical construction 1ind out from owners what service their cars afford. The testimony of not one, but many, owners is neces- sary to establish reliable reputation. The reputation and resources of the manufacturer are guides to the quality of the car
 Service and economy are the chief points to be considered.
 or what use are all the comforts and conveniences of equipment if the car itself doesn't stand up? What en- Joyment is there in them if the car Is continuous extravaganza?
 Complete satisfaction can only be experienced with a car that not only 1pcludes every essential of modern equipment. but which affords depend able and inexpensive performance.
 These are the standards by which a car should be judged. Purchasers can

COMMERCE TRUCK LATEST ENTRY IN
 THE LOCAL FIELD

Announcement has just been made that the Automotive Supply company of Seventh avenue and Adams street has taken over the local distributorship for the Commerce truck. H. H. Wilson, head of the Automotive Supply com pany in announcing that he had taken over the Commerce stated that he was confident that he had acquired the truck which the business men and farmers of this section have been wait ing for.
 The Commerce is made in two mod els, one a ton and a ton and half, is equipped with pneumatic tires, red seal Continental motor, and all standard equipment. It is the first truck in this country to be designed primarily for pneumatic tires.
 The truck is made in a factory which has been devoting itself to the manu-
 facture of high grade trucks for the past ten years. It is the result of a long line of experiments, eliminating in the equipment of other new features, which make it one of the most com pletely equipped trucks on the market.
 The Commerce people have designed a number of bodies to meet every pos sible demand. They have an open de- sign made especially for farm work another for light city work and others for heavy hauling and trucking. The United States government has stand ardized on Commerce trucks for use in auto units of machine gun battalions,

COAST PE0PLE PAY
 BIC GASOLINE BILL

When the average motorist finds jt | necessary to detour because of road re- rairing operations, he usually com
 ments-more or less acidly, according to the length and condition of the de- tour-upon the poor way the roads
 must have been originally constructed to require such frequent repairs. But the average motorist seldom realizes the enormous amount of travel over California roads. After he reads the accompanying statistics he'll un- derstand that it is through no faults of construction that roads require fre-
 quent repairs.
 When the latest registration figures were received, showing that there is one motor car for every six and two- tenths people in California, R. D. Roper, distributor of Maxwell cars. made the following conservative and yet amazing deductions:
 Assuming that only 50 per cent of the motor cars are in actual use each day, the people of this state are utiliZ- ing in automotive transportation ap proximately million horse power per
 day. Assuming that 50 per cent of the
 cars travel 90 miles a day, this repre-
 the year over our roads-and surely
 an approximate total of 2,19O,00O, 900
 travel miles over the highways each
 year would account for their frequent
 need of repairs.
 "This number of miles travelled would

DEALERS URGED TO
 ADOPT ONE POLICY

Out west there grows in profusion a curious weed.
 1t is called tumble weed.
 After attaining a certain age this weed breaks away from it's roots and starts to roll.
 Whichever way the wind blows the tumble wood travels, landing finally against some obstruction where ii hopeIessly entangles itself and remains -unnourished and expiring.
 Often growing side by side with the tumble weed is the tough and sturdy cactus. This plant clings tenaciously to mother earth-and thrives, which reminds us of two kinds of automobile service.
 The first is the indefinite, haphazard Cnmethodical kind the kind that changes it's direction, follows the way Of least resistance and drives away business.
 The second is the definite, concrete permanent kind.the kind that stays put" wins regard and keep customers
 UppermOst in the mind of every car owner is the subject of service. And usually he is not an unreasonable man he is willing to pay but he wants in re- turn an earenst effort to care for his needs.
 Once he feels convinved that you are doing for him just what you would do for your best friend under like cir cumstances-nO more no lesS--he will overlook conditions beyond and boost for you.
 But let him once believe that you lave different methods of treating diff ferent owners-that yau are this to Tom and that to Dick and something else to Harry-and he will doubt the truth of your word and the fairness of your price.

By doing this you will advance the standards of the industry and benefit the motoring public as a whole

To the Editor Of The Tribu,

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The splendid victory that the
American people rolled up in Maine
on Monday last merely shows that the
Republican party (Which now more
truly than ever before represents the
American people) must go forward with
greater effort, that the result Of the
Preside ntial election in November shall
be the greatest victory in its history.
Let US not grow indolent or COM
piacently sure that the election will
take care of itself.
Tho country is tired Of Democratic
rule, which has been such a travesty
of representative government that the
word democracy has come to have a
disagreeable sound to our ears. 1t
must be cleansed Of all taint of the
wilson autocracy, and this can be done
only by most thorough drubbine
at the polls. The Maine success should
stimulate US all to work honestly and
fearlessly and with greater zeal for
Republican victory for every vacant
once. That is the only way the coun-
try can be entirely rid of wisconsin.

No Time for Silence

The Tribune continues to receive
letters from readers insisting that
the Secretary Of War tell who or
dered the adjutant general to gee
that draft-dodger Bergdoll was per-
mitted to leave Governors Island,
thereby paving the way for him
to escape. The writers Of some Of
these letters seem to imply that Sec
retary Baker himself gave the or
ders. OF this, however, not a
shadow OF proof has been forthcom-
ing. 1t Is possible Secretary Baker
is taking upon his shoulders blame
which belongs elsewhere. II such is
the case, in justice TO himself, as
we'll as in justice to the army as a
whole, it would seem better to make
known who Is responsible.
This is important just now when
an agent Of the Department Of JUS
tice has filed a formal report with
the Federal court at Topeka which
states tEat in 1919 Secretary Baker
sanctioned the setting up Of a soviet
government by convicts In The mill

Getting New Houses

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Will you allow me to express
dissent respecting your editorial on
"Getting New Houses" and in which
your argument is that the proposed
income tax exemption should apply
only to new construction Unntended
effects frequently flow from new ex.
periments. There are many millions
of mortgage principal past due, or
about to become past due, which have
been and will be permitted to stand
either in the form of open mortgages or
with extensions providing for grad
ual reduction of the principal, and
which, under such a limited exemp.
ton from income tax, would be inevi-
tably called in. Many of thsse mort
cages have been permitted TO stand at
a real Inconvenience to the mortgage,
who would be glad Of his money but 10
unwilling to contribute to the further
unsettlement Of the market
Such a discriminating move would

closures, and in cases where the loans
were paid OFF much the larger part
OF the payments would not seek re.
investment in the mortgage field, not
even In the new construction income
tax exempt form. The effect would be
depressing on all real estate values.
IL would come at time when the
tax Office is endeavoring TO make 9
large increase in assessed values and
at time when, notwithstanding such
increase, largely increased tax rate
must be expected to provide for the
clty's necessary expenses.
On top of all this it is proposed 70
pile the aggregate Of many millions OF
taxes which normally would be az
sessed against new construction. IL
Is much easier to consider that last
question in its aspect of exemption
than in its other aspect Of increased
burden.
Respecting some kinds Of real estate
holdings, the question soon will bs
as to when the camel's back will bs
oroken. Unless judgment is used the
city is likely to fnd itself with much
diminished tax base.

The CONSTITUTIONS Birthday

This Is the Federal CONSTITUTIONS
133d birthday. The time is q fit
one for all Americans to do some
thinking.
Eulogy of this venerated docu-
ment has been unmeasured in every
land. "The greatest work that ever
came from a single body Of men,
said Gladstone. 1t has been the
chart Of American progress. Its
spirit is unimpaircd. Even the form
IN which it was cast has stood the
tests Of experience and sufices for
our present political needs. With
all its quality of permanence and
in spite Of the elaborate obstacles
put in the way Of hasty change, it
has been modernized by amendments
whenever the need OF amendment
has become plain.
The Constitution has served its
purpose and won the worlds acclaim
mainly because it sensed so accu-
rately the development of demo-
cratic liberty.
The first Federation had proved a.
rope Of sand. The victory won at
Yorktown was in peril. AS John
Fiske says, it was the critical period
OF American history. Little sound
nationalism remained in the minds
and hearts of Americans in 1885
and 1885. Most of the states treas.
ured their isolation and independ-
encc and the old frontier ideals OF
personal irrcsponsibility and dctach-
ment.
The founders had a vision much
broader than their political environ
msnt. They saw security and power

Safety ON the Highways

We think Secretary of State Hugo
has yet to meet the force of the
criticism directed against his office.
His own personal efficiency is only a
secondary matter. He may we'll
have done everything humanity pos
sihle under the laws and within his
appropriation, and yet conditions
may be precisely as dangerous as
Mr.. Edward S. Cornell, Of the Ma
tional Highways Protective Associa-
ton, declares.
The charge that only 141 licenses
were revoked in this state last year,
as against 2,100 in Massachusetts,,
1,700 in Connecticut and 1000 in
New Jersey, is striking and un-
answered, save as Mr.. Hugo implies
that his prowers Of revocation are
limited. Here is the crux Of the
problem. If new laws are needed,
let Mr.. Hugo say so. If not, what
explanation is there for this extraor-
dinary contrast?
The problem which confronts Mr..
Hugo is gigantic one, involving the
licensing of nearly half a million
drivers. 1t may we'll be that his
staff is inadequate to handle prop
erly this vast labor. But we are
confident the people Of New York
are in no mood for sighting this
issue. If larger appropriations are
needed they will be granted. The
feeling is widespread that the motor
problem has got beyond the authori-
ties in this state and that the safety
Of life and limb all over the state de-
mands fresh start and vigorous
policy Of more efficient control.
Let Mr.. Hugo answer his critics
with constructive suggestions, and
he will go far to meet the attitude of
the people whom he serves.

These Wild Young People"

10 all those gloomy elders who see
the younger generation through blue
spectacles we commend the candid
defense of "these wild young peo-
pie" by "One of Them" in the cur
rent Atlantic. The author, Mr.. John
+. Carter jr., went forth from Yale
into the war like nearly everybody
else of his age. He came out to find
Mrs. Katharine Fullerton Gerould
and other solemn wiseacres wagging
their heads hopelessly over the man.
ners and morals Of these young peo-
pie who fought the war, because they
neither dressed nor danced nor
talked nor acted as had their parents
in their youth. Young Mr.. Carter
was at once amused and wrathful,
and in this mood took pen in hand.
The result is refreshingly enthusi-
astic for all its fatalistic wisdom.
1t shows, too, an amazing perspec-
tive and generosity for such a COM
bat. Mr.. Carter does not waste time
with Mrs. Gerould's plaintive de.
fense Of creeds and corsets as the
only sure bulwarks Of morality.
He comedies that there is much
that is hectic and to be rene
died in his generation. But he de-
MES that morals have essentially
changed for the worse; and he pre-
sents persuasive explanation Of
just why the up.coming boys and
girls are as they are.

Yrankness" 10 their essential differ.
