Get the Axe.

We are reproducing a portion OF
Gen. G. T. Fitzhugh's speech. 1t is
| good reading. But we are taking all
! that we are able. 1t strikes home
goes to the very heart of things. Gen
eral Fitzhugh seems to have come to
| conclusion which Congress and Of
fetal government have failed to
realize. The government has pay
roll of $4,000 people. General Fitz-
hugh proposes to cut this in half,
This is fine for campaign purposes,
but will Mr.. Fitzhugh face the storm
of ridicule and Kisses that will GER
tainly fall upon his head if he enters
Congress and makes the attempt. Con-
gresham Fuller, one of the biggest
men in New York State tried it and
the whole House turned ON him with
whitening sarcasm. Congressman
Blanton, of Texas, called their hands
and got a wholesale bath of profani-
ty for his pains. Mind you, Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans are in
the political fleshpots. President
Wilson's administration was not free
from this censure by any manner of
means, Notwithstanding he was
most distinguished President. The
only President probably since the
war who has made any appreciable
effort to reduce, administration and
government activities was Grover
Cleveland, and what they did to him
everybody knows. All this high
sounding stuff about Capitalization
and State sovereignty is not easy for
the masses to understand, but when
you begin to talk shop they open
their eyes. When you say cut out
the hordes of cake eaters and grafters
and reduce the taxes they know what
you mean. When you say let five men
do what ten men are hired to do it is
easy to understand. When you say
stop the organization of commissions
and bureaus, the appointment of
committees and the investigation of
everything the opposing party does,
AMI reduce those we have already to
an economic working basis, then the
constituents have an idea what you |
are trying to do. They don't care
whether it is State sovereignty, CEN
tralization or what it is. They know |
that the more the government en-
croaches upon the substance and the |
rights of the people the less there is |
left for the people. They know that |
the increase of taxes at the present |
rate will soon become burdensome |
and confscatory. We know that the |
government is following the lines ex-
actly that have prevailed in old gov
ernments. First a free country and |
an agricultural independence; then
a process of reducing the farming
classes by the promotion of special
interests and a taxing system which |
bears on agriculture; then tenantry,
teudalism, serfdon, etc, and finally
political chaos and national decay
The pork barrel and the f1eshpots
must go if democracy is to prevail.

Mild Winter Serious
The article says: "A very mild winter

summer months is also conducive to
greater weevil activity.

"An average Of about six per cent oi

The one conspicuous success
at the indianapolis Show!

Success! 1t was instantaneous!
From the moment the doors of the
Indianapolis Show opened the larg-
est crowd has always been found
around the Rickenbacker exhibit.
This car has taken indianapolis by
storm. Probably never before has
a motor car created such genuine
interest. This Six was pronounced
by many of the industry's leading
engineers as being the biggest step
forward in motor car design in
years.
And why not? Who knows motors
better than Capt. E. V. Ricken-
hacker.
What's more, associated with Capt.
Rickenbacker are some of the in
dustry's leading figures-Everitt,
Flanders, Hood, Cunningham,
Tichenor, Evans, Drumpelmann,
Miller-all men who individually
have held first-line positions in the
industry!
Such a group of men know how to-
produce a real value. They know
motor car designs; they know the
very best production practice.

running motor you ever sat behind.
