Discussion OF one OF the admlnlstra

the railways-was taken up In earnest
last week. and though TO the lay mind
IL seems almost insolvable, the eX'
perts in such matters believe IL VIII

commission and the railroad labor
board working in closer conjunction
than had been contemplated when the
Inter was created. Senator Cummlns
and REPRESENTATIVE Mondell assert the
machinery under the transportation
act is adequate In the situation ano
that no further legislation will be
needed 1t Is the position of the Pres
ident and his advisers that the gov
eminent should do all 1t can TO facll'
itate the return OF the railroads &c
former conditions, and II Is admitted
that both high freight rates and high
wages must be reduced. present.
rates are undoubtedly retarding great

pecially farm products, and the roads
suffer In revenue accordingly. VI
course the railway unions are Oppos
ing any reduction In wages, asserting
this would be unnecessary were 1t no
for willful extravaganza on the par
OF the railroad Arrangements. Th'
senate committee on Interstate com
merce plans an investigation that shall
establish the truth or falsity or tn
charges made by organized labor.

AUTO TAGS NOT III

This was a suggestion made at the
county clerks auto license counter
yesterday when n number of persons
mad been informed that the license
tags had not yet arrived, and that the
reason assigned in a letter received
from Floyd f'airhurst, state auto Ii
censc commissioner. is because tho
manufacturers cannot get the steel
with which to make the aforesaid tags.
Not always, but pretty near every
year there is a delay in receipt of the
tags from ono excuse or another; last
year was an exception. The tags were
ON hand and issuance began on the
iirst day of the Year. Then also it
was assured there would be no fur
thor delays as the five-year tag sys-
tenn then inauguratcd would make il
unnecessary to manufacture new ones
each year; all that would be required
Tor each ono of the four succeeding
years, 1t was announced. would be the
supplying OF the small date plates for
insertion in the permanent tags.

been announced, and now comes an
other delay of nobody knows how long

out of Il string OF 4, stores in the
United States, located in most of the
principal cities. the Mcntcr store at
Pueblo took first place in the amount
OF business done in the last six months
OF 1920. having before Christmas
reached the quota of business set for il
to do by the long headed business men
who control the Mentcr stores every
where. Much OF the credit for this
splendid showing is duo to the fine
stock, business sagac!ty, foresight and
popularity of Mr.. G.. q. Sawyer. man
agcr OF tho Mcntcr store at 525 North
Main street under his direction and

ways prosperod and done well and
naturally Mr.. Sawyer takes consid-
cradle pride in the fact that the Pueblo
store OF the Mcnter company accom-
plished the task set for 1t to do long
before the. expiration OF the time limit.
This is also a remarkable showing for
Pueblo. proving conclusivcly that bus
mess here IL good and that tho town
is prosperous, as the business done
by the Pueblo store of the Mcnter
during tho last six months
Of 1870 was the largest in the stores
history. Just watch the Mcntcr store
grow this year. for Mr. Sawyer in
tends TO make 1921 better than ever.

Gentlemen:
Several inquiries have recently come
to us concerning the likelihood of an
other reduction in the price of our
cars, and as these inquiries no doubt
cmanatc from prospective purchasers,
We want to state again with greater
emphasis that sE'ord cars arc already
being sold at IA figure actually below
cost and for an indefinite period
another reduction or change in design
is entirely out of the question and not
at all contemplated.
We believe the public will be fair
enough to fully appreciate tho frank
ness of the above when they consider
the extent of our recent price cut
which was in fact tho equivalent OF
several reductions in one, in our desire
to contribute toward satisfying their
demands for lower living costs not
withStanding our sacrifice in market
ing our cars at "A loss until VIC arc
able to materially reduce present costs
thru lower material prices and greater
manufacturing efficiency. While VIC
have, of course, made some progress
in bringing down operating costs, we
still have a long way to go before any
thought can be given to further re-
ductions in present car prices, so VIC
have no hesitaucy in making these
open statements to acquaint you with
the true situation.
You can therefore give assurance to
prospective purchasers of Ford cars
that now is their real opportunity to
buy below cost and obtain delivery.
Everyone is familiar with tho heavy de-
mand for Ford cars in the Spring and
this year will be no exception, as in
spite of conditions. business is already
rapidly accommodating. so that many
who desire Ford cars will be obliged
10 wait perhaps until midsummer for
delivery causing considerable incon-
veniencc and possibly financial loss.
particularly to commercial customers.
We expect you to protect the inter
ests of prospective buyers in your
community by placing these facts be-
/ fore them.
Yours very truly,
FORD MOTOR co.
