of Bad Auto Collision

An alarm of fire yesterday afternoon
at 2:00 o'clock was the cause inadver-
tently of bad auto wreck on the west
side of the depot. Nobody was hurt.
but a Chevrolet car was badly smashed
up
Mr.. e, c. Barlow. regular motorman
and care-taker of the city fire truck
was at c. B, Perkins Hardware Store
buying some wrenches to use in over
hauling the city's fire truck when the
alarm was sounded. having gone to the
store in his own Chevrolet car AZ was
naturally to be supposed from one who
has been over three years In such SER
vice he was quick to respond to the
an alarm. He ran out in front of the
store and into his machine and in some
manner in the hurry of his getvaway and
the blocking of the street by Mr., Beard
of Jayess. in another car, he ran into
the Beard car, badly wrecking the front
end. Occupants Of both cars were nn-
injured, Barlow's car being practically
without damage.
The fire alarm was caused by the ig-
milton of the dry grass near the 7. j..
Knox home, which was quickly extin-
guished when help arrived

PRICES LOWERED ON
STRUCTURAL STEEL
Independent Concerns Reduce Rate on
Notwithstanding Boom Forecast
wage Reduction Anticipated.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 26.--Most Of the
independent steel companies already
have followed the lead of the Jones
and Laughlin Steel Company of Pitts
burg, which reduced prices on bars,
plates and structural shapes today to
the level of the United States indus
trial boards prices Of March, 1919. or
are about to do so, according to steel
authorities here. Several Of the larger
independent interests have advised
their sales offices in New York, Chi
cago. Philadelphia, Cleveland and 9TH
er cities. it was said, to accept new
business at the industrial boards pri-
ces.
No reduction in wages Is contem-
plated immediately according to the
best information obtainable. 1t was
freely predicted by steel officials, how
ever, that wage reduction is inevi-
table within the next few weeks.
The new selling prices are not CONF
parable with previous prices on any
fixed basis, as some of the independents
have been asking as high as $500 for
bars, plates and shapes, it was report
ed, and others have been receiving more
conservative prices ranging between $S
and 1925.
The general feeling throughout the
trade here is one of satisfaction at the
decision to reduce prices to the same
level as the Steel Corporation, which
has not asked prices above those fixed
by the industrial board. 1t is believed
here now that the immediate result will
be to stabilize the steel market and that
the move made today is the beginning
of the REIMBURSEMENT in the steel trade.
The sentiment here seemed to be that
the bottom level of prices has been
reached, and that as soon as wages and
other costs are lowered. the industry
will move forward into new period
of prosperity based on the requirements
of the building trade, the rehabilitation

A MAN WHO KNOWS
APPROVES PENIS CARS
r. <. DUNCAN, Public Service man. Buys
Nine Out OF Seventeen Cars He
Has Owned.

Mr.. P. Y. DUNCAN, we'll known. pub
lie service car man all over Lincoln
as well as adjoining counties, undoubt-
edly ought to know a good car when
he gets one.
He does. He has owned seventeen
different cars since the advent of sue
cessful motor car operation. Mr.. Dun
gan does not run a car until its life is
out. He endeavors at all times to keep
new car-or one almost new-one
that will never fail. That accounts for
his having owned So many cars Real
ly. Mr.. DUNCAN is a connoisseur on
cars. Out of these seventeen cars ne
has purchased, nine of them have been
bought from Mr.. ]. s. Penn. manager
Of the Heidelberg Auto Company, of
Brookhaven.
Mr.. DUNCAN has purchased these cars
on their merits and not on what any
one told him. His record of purchases
from Mr.. Penn shows that Mr.. DUNCAN
has bought where he believed he was
getting car value that would stand the
test of the kind of usage he puts a
car to, which is the hardest kind of use
lin any and all kinds of weather and
road conditions. The cars he has pur-
chased from Mr.. Penn have never fall
ed him. from any service that would
be expected from any automobile un-
der similar conditions.
Mr.. Dungan's decision in the pur-
chase of his many automobiles has
also been followed by large portion Of
other auto buyers in this section, on
account of Mr.. Penn's experience and
knowledge, he being one of the foremost
to push the auto business in this sec
tion. These buyers knew that this
knowledge was a great asset when he
offered any of the cars that he repre-
sents to them-t hat they were getting
their moneys worth at ali times.

receive all advantages which accrue from improved highways When the motorists consent to pay large share of the maintenance charges, that is as far as they should acQuiesce in shar- ing present day road expenses. Keep it in mind that the motorist is also a citizen who pays the general taxes now exacted nationally and in the several states This picking him out for su- per-taxation in connection with his ve hicle owenrship has reached the limit of acceptance and should be stoutly resisted
 Short cuts lacking in true economic principles are always ferreted out by the financial expert. and this abuse of the motorists generosity,-for that is exactly what it is,-is being shorn of it's subterfuges. Tn his acceptance of discriminatory tax, the car owner is entitled to an honest run for his money This he doesn't get when the struction and not for maintenance. a method which is not put forward in states that are willing to play fair in the premises.
 After an investigation of road building activities in certain states which are engaged in considering va rious forms of financing their high ways building, I am more than ever convinced that the original investment in the road itself should only come from direct taxation or appropriations from general funds, or, when Justified, through the issuing of short-term se- rial bonds.
 "Of course, those great highways into which numerous other roads dis charge their streams of traffic must be exceedingly well built and cost a great deal more money than was the case years ago. But to divert goodly sums from the $50,000,000 which the 1 motorists now pay throughout the country in yearly registration taxes for the construction of these main arteries is the poorest kind of judgment. There isn't man, woman child in any community who doesn't benefit from improved highways, and those who profit from tho increase in property values should pay proportionately.
 What causes me to utter this pro- test is that certain states just awak- ened to road building necessities are following the easiest way of obtaining popular support for legislation by plac- ing the entire burden on the shoulders of the motor behicle owner, who has got to the parting of the ways, and, in my humble opinion, is about to refuse longer to- be the goat. However, my greatest objection to the proposition is on the ground that money which should be for maintenance is side- tracked and then no provision is sub- stftuted whereby the many miles of road which connect up outlying terri tory with nearby market are neglect ed to the extent of adding thousands Of dollars to transportation costs of food products

COMMANDING SILENCE

A short time ago we attended a meeting called for the purpose of salv- ing a local problem
 Everybody talked at once, trying to give his solution. That Is, everybody except one man. He sat and listened.
 Towards the end of the conflab, this man indicated that he was about to speak, Immediately all were silent. They wanted to hear what the silent man had to say.
 Evidently this man was a thinker, and the takers knew that what he had to say would be worth listening to.
 And, it was.
 The most convincing argument in the world is intelligent silence. No body pays much attention to the par rot. But, we all look with respect upon the wise old owl.
 Be stingy with your talk.
