are highly optimistic We have made
a careful survey of conditions in ev-
cry state, through personal investi-
cation, and in a comparatively short
while we will see revival of the
oid-time buying spirit. I believe that
this may be attributed to a change
in the mental attitude Of the public.
In lots of places there is money to
buy automobiles but that money is
being carefully boarded. We have
direct instances of that in sales re-

When asked about conditions in
the south and the prospects for big

the fact that Atlanta was awarded
the new branch location, which he
regards as significant. Mr.. Culver

and yet he still holds a warm affec-

the south during his long stay here.

The department has always kept a

this being the basis of registration.
But to find the motor number Of a
car it was necessary to run down
in the record book every car of that

The cross index shows the motor

the New York City National-had loaned
the Queensland government .S10000,0O0.
Somebody must have got q big split for
putting over a rotten loan like this,
while good American institutions are
needing money.
The Labor party came into power in
1914 The cost Of living was the Issue
and the rallying cry was Cheap bread.
cheap beef and high wages" When the
reins Of government were turned over to
the laborities II soon became evident how
they intended to carry out their pledges.
1t was by means Of legislation, Just as
If laws could regulate supply and de-
mand-tte real factors In determining
wages and cost Of food. To the credit
OF the laborites they made an attempt 10
do what they had promised, but now, al
most seven years later, I find that in
spite OF the legislation they have passed
the cost of living in Queensland Is o.
per cent higher than when they took
charge and wages only 40 per cent high
err. Wages are determined by an arbi-
tration court which makes awards In
each trade or line OF work While we
were in Brisbane the court in handing
down a decision on certain wages
dropped a gentle hint that the limit had
been reached. that Il would consider no
more applications for increases, but be-
lieved the time had come when Australia,
Ike the rest OF he world had to begin
10 think about bringing down wages to
a normal basis.
what Is going TO happen to the ar
bitration court when It tries that?"
asked a newspaper reporter who has
long covered" the court for his paper.
He threw out his hands IN an explosive
sort Of way.
Then the court goes biooeY." he re-
Piled Labor viii compel the govern

ish the court and return to collective
bargaining The court was fine when II
was raising wages and compelling the
employer 10 pay them, but IT will be no
good when It tries TO lower wages and
make labor accept its decisions"
As an instance Of how the court works
I am going to cite an award made while
I was in Brisbane. It liked the wages OF
carpenters at s525 a day, every day
whether II be a day on which work
could be done or a rainy day. when no
work could be done, or n holiday, when
no Australian will work at all. II It was
essential to work on a holiday the court
decided that the men nuts be paid
double wages. What was the resultl
Why, building operations stopped en-
tirely and there was more unemployed to
be added to those who had already been
thrown out Of work by similar awards In
other lines.
Employers who closed down because
they said they could not make q profit
and pay the wages awarded are facing
another ordeal. The government re-
tallated By preparing a law which says

SINCERITY AND

RALSTONJ MOTTO
Democratic Leader Covers
City's Length Preaching
Good Government.

From the extreme north end Of In
dlanapolis to the extreme south end,
Boyd VI. RalstOn, Democratic nominee
for mayor, travelled last night preaching
a doctrine OF sincerity in office and OF
an economical administration. The can
didates meetings carried him from
Thirty Eighth street and Graceland
avenue through Indiana avenue to
Haughville and finally to the extreme
southern part Of the city at motion
picture theater at Raymond and Shelby
streets,
One Of the meetings was in the heart
of the negro district at Indiana avenue
and West street. Perhaps fifty negroes
gathered around the red lights on the
truck from which Mr.. Ralston spoke
He urged the negro voters to think about
the things involved in the campaign and
to take sides on vital questions.
Don't you realize you have friends on
one side as well as on the Other?" ne
asked.
Mr.. Raiston laid much stress on the
lawlessness that existed during the last
days Of the Shank administration, and he
declared that should race riots break
out there would be no more effort to stop
them than there was to stop the riots
then.
He took occasion to deny reports which
have been spread to the effect that Sam
uel V. Perrott is to be appointed chief
of police should the Democrats be sue
cessful. He declared that there Is no
question of race in the election and that
Mr.. Shank is stirring up race prejudice
by appealing to negroes as negroes and
not simply as citizens.
, funf CIV and GrqcaIan nj
avenue he predicted Democratic victory
II those who have pledged support to the
party vote the way they have pledged. He
declared that he believed in holding
taxes down and that he believed In law
enforcement.
In a meeting at a home at 81 Frank
street, on the south side, he appealed TO
the sentiment Of the homes and declared
this would be reflected in the city admin
istration He also pledged an economic
government and the holding down Of
taxes.
'I am going to give the south side what
It wants" he said. 81 am going to put
the value back into your property"
An appeal was made to the woman voter
at another home meeting at 732 East Nc
Carly street. Mr.. Ralston told the wom-
en- present that they had been given the
franchise because it was believed their
vote would mean clean government. He
said they will be put to the test next
Tuesday.
I'VE have a man on one side of this
contest with one kind Of q following and
man on the other side with another
kind of a following. 1t is your duty to
make your choice" he said IF a man
