WHY NO CRITICISM?

The BIZ. criticism of the Republican press of the
against the Democratic conference plan seems to be based
upon the fear that it will strengthen the Democratic party
The Arizona Repbulcan for instance does not object
to conference plan for the Republican party. If is
all right for the Republicans why should it be wrong
for the Democratic party to hold party conference!
During the past three campaigns the Republicans
have decided these conferences practically what their
state tickets to be- And they didn't hesitate to con-
slider themselves the final authority in the matter
When their ticket decided upon in party confer
has failed Of nomination they have been considerably
peeved.
As for the Republicans Senator Cameron broke the
Republican slate all to pieces And they have not even
yet become rccOnclled to II.
There differences between the Republican
party conference plan and the Democratic party confer
ence plan.
In the Republican party arrangements just few
self appointed leaders together and name their ticket
Under the Democratic party conference plan delegates
elected by the members of the party to meet in con-
ference merely to make recommendations so made by
the conference be accepted Their delegates merely
onend what in their opinion is best for the party to do
in the matter
There is nothing compulsory about it and there
no obligations the part of candidate to submit his
candidacy the conference. Each and candidate
go directly to the people primaries If he so wishes
recommend.
The conference is to be made up of representative
Democrats from all parts of the state who will go over
e list of candidates and make their recommendations III
the matter.
One of the chief objections to the present primary
system is that it gives little opportunity for party
council especially for the consideration of party platforms
The average citizen is interested in the principles OF
the campaign and he desires to know what the program
will be when he succeeds in getting his candidate elected
Government should mean more than mere scramble
on the part of a few candidates looking for job.
The old town meeting idea has been re-lntroduced
through the party conference And in this way Demo
crazy be brought to the best interests OF the
people closey.-Arizona Silver Belt.

CO. OPERATING WITH THE SCHOOLS

writer in the st. Paul Farmer tells from her expert
as a teacher how she handled school where the dis
cpne had become poor She invited the mothers to the
school day. and discussed conditions frankly with
them The mothers wanted cooperate to improve the
work their children doing and they formed moth
ers' club to the school every fortnight They
spent time at each meeting listening to Rotations
and examining specimens of the childrens work.
The result was that the children, who previously
Indifferent became anxious to make good show

read better spell more accurately and turn in better look

Says H. G.. St,,tz
1921 Demonstrated That
Motor Car Production Can.
not Be Maintained With.
out All Economic Regard
Manufacturer Believes That
Day Of Old Hit-and-Miss
Methods Ia Gone Forever

The past year has demonstrated ina.
motor CO, production cannot be main
:ained without regard to the elemental
economic conditions that prevail out
side Of the industry. Harry c. Stutz.
president Of the Fl. C. s. Motor Car
Company, says in an article prepared
tor The Tribune.
"There are those who believe that
motor car manufacturers. as group
have not been sufficiently conservative
IL their factory policies, both as re-
CARDS the temptation to produce in
great gambling quantities and as to
the elaborateness of their sales and
advertising policies" says Mr.. Stutz
II have noticed that where a manufac-
turer has habitually kept his manu-.
featuring program we'll in hand and
never overreached or expanded be-
yond what conservative estimate O.
his market warranted. even in the
period of depression out of which We
are just now emerging, he has not beer
seriously embarrassed
"The motor car industry is fast
learning its lesson. do not believe
New-York tribune., 1922-01-08

that we will ever again see the day
when the old hit-and- miss methods of
manufacture, of financing and Of dis
trbrtion will be popular. There are a
great many more things in the motor
car industry to be praised than to be
criticised. The bigger business men
have survived, and the little incompe-
tents have automatically slipped out.
From now on the fortunes Of the in
dustry are, believe, to be dictated by
sanity-sanity mixed with oldtime
courage. for which the industry has
always been notable.
Industry Overreached Itself
GAS much as three years ago it was
evident that the motor car industry
had overreached so far in its commit
ments that it could not go through a
serious depression without painful con-
sequences to many factories. The past
year has proved it.
eve have never slowed down or
sleeded up-not even during the last
six months We run our factory just
as we used to run our race cars. You
cant tease US into sprint. We gauge
the job and figure ont just how much
maintained speed it will take, and we
hold that speed independent Of what
the rest Of the field is doing
~ believe the business is going to be
good in the future for manufacturers
who do not try to see how many cars
they can build, but who desire to build
better cars and give the purchasers

Auto Ind ustry
Needs Continued
Aid of Bankers
Haynes Manager Declares
Business of Manufacture
Makes Steady Strides in
Spite of Temporary Lulls

Basing his opinion on motor car
registration of 9.257.575 as Of July I.
1921, Alton G.. Scibcrling, vice president
and general manager of the Haynes
Automobile Company, says the automo-
bile industry is making steady, con-
sstent strides, regardless of temporary
setbacks. Tho 1921 registration figures
showed a gain of 1,354.497 over those
of the corresponding period in 1920.
Mr.. Scibcrling holds that the surest
guaranty Of future sales is the CO.
operation between banker and manufac-
turcr, granting the existence of a pro-
gressive demand. This cooperation, he
says, should be extended. He adds:
"The use of the automobile has bene-
flied business generally, and statistics
verify the statement that the busiest
communities are we'll motorized. 1t
was f. C. Stokes, former Governor Of
New Jersey, now president Of the Me-
chanics National Bank Of Trenton. who
said that it might be we'll to call tho
attention Of the banking fraternity to
the Importance of the automobile not
only as factor in the necessary trans
portation facilities Of the country but
as a contributor to one Of the largest
Of our industries and promoter or the
happiness and morals of our people.
"Al bankers should have the Same
belief in the automobile as is expressed
by Mr. Stokes, and every banker should
consider the automotive industry as
one of the biggest and fastest growing
in the world
Understanding Precedes Business
"When every banker considers these
facts he is bound, for his own benefit,
New-York tribune., 1922-01-08

to extend every possible cooperation
to automobile distributors. The dis
tributor who handles a large territory
and who does business on volume
basis must have good banking connec-
tions. 1t Is not an uncommon state
ment to hear a distributor. say that his
business activities are limited only by
the amount of cooperation he receives
from his bankers. The financial end
of any business regulates the growth
of that particular busincs, and unless
the bankers and distributors beliefs
in the business which they are oper-
ating are in common. the results will
naturally be a limited business for
both
"The banker. of course, must take
into consideration the stability Of his
loan, and the distributor, provided he
is an astute business man, must prove
his capability to move the cars which
he buys, within a reasonable period, so
that the turnover will yield a satia

Lafayette Prices
Are Further Reduced
Cuts Ranging From $500 to
$3.50 Are Among Most
Drastic Yet Announced

Price reductions ranging from $3.50
to $3.50, are announced by the La
fayette Motors Company, Of lndianap-
oils. Lafayette open models arc now
priced at $3,9S5 and $4,090 The tour
ing car has undergone total cut
of s1,535, while the sedan model
has been reduced S2.225 since Janu-
ary /, 1921. The new prices are the
second revision in year and are
among the most drastic to be an
nounced during that time. Explaining
the latest cuts, L. c. Howard, vice
president, says:
1T has been our intent to find a
minimum and. if possible. a permanent
price level. Naturally drastic price
reduction such as we have announced
cannot be justified by present manu-
featuring costs. BY adopting so Wig
orous a price policy we have sought
to give the public a feeling of protec
tion against further declines.

tho banker and distributor The aim
of all successful businesses is to enter
upon safe and sound transactions and
reap a reasonable profit
The matter of cooperation between
the banker and the ditributor rests,
too. upon the sales possibilities of the
automobile which the distributor
handles, Mr.. SeiberIing says. This
regulates the ability Of the banker to
make loans and cooperate further

STORAGE BATTERIES, !

What is the proper source of sup ply for lighting vacuum tubes9
 This question" says MT. Ramon, mhnager of the local Prest-O-Lite service station, "is one that is heard frequently in these days of Radio popularity.
 'It Is almost needless to say that we advise the use of good storage battery and especially the Prest-O- Lite battery for radio which has all Of the efficiency and dependability of the automobile starting and lighting battery made by the same firm.
 While any good storage battery of the required voltage. usually six volts and having a capacity of~at least 70 ampere hours. may be used with ra- dio receiving sets, these will not give as satisfactory service as those design ed especially for radio.
 These have heavier plates and have special features which adapt them for work indoors.

 Perfectly" The drawl was gone from zorn's voice, When did the young lady disappear Mir, Wells, and in what manner?"
 The attorney turned to Miles, who quickly reconnted the circumstances. This letter is self-explanatory," he added. But can you think of any legitimate occupation which would take an, honest city workingman out Into the country on short trips at night?"
 The first supnosition which occurs to me is that the fellow might be a helper on a moving van," replied Zcrn
 Exactly" Miles cried triumphant ly. Now study the scrap of paper on which the message Is written.

 Yes It Is my. theory that she must have stopped the van on the .oad and arranged with one of the moving men to bring the note here IS soon as they reached the city.
