fidence Of the house by a vote of 372
to "a. has had the effect of a quick,
violent thunderstorm in clearing the
political atmosphere.
Apparently nettled by intimations
that he was lodging a direct vote of
confidence in presenting his resolu-
tion calling for support of the gov
ernment's policy toward the Genoa
conference. the premier threw down
the gauntlet early in the debate and
declared the cabinet would stand or
| fall on the result Of the division. The
result left no doubt as to the strength
Of the government.
The opposition centered it's attack
behind the laborite amendment. which
would have declared lack Of conf
dence in the government. When that
went down in an avalanche Of mays
the issue was as good as decided. and
| the subsequent debate was almost
perfunctory.
! The fight against the coalition, how
| ever. has not been abandoned, and Sir
William Hicks, unionist,
plans to put forward in the house to-
morrow motion to the effect that, "in
the opinion of this house. lack of

coalition government can be remedied

istry composed of men united by
identity or OF political principles"

a Harmless Substitute.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for cal0mel-are q mild
but sure laxative, and their effect
on the liver Is almost instantaneous.
These little olive-colored tablets
are the result of DR.. Edwards de-
termination not to treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomeI.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have
no bad sitter effects. They don't
iniure the teeth like strong liquids
or calomel. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct It.
Why cure the liver at the expense
Of the teeth? CaIomel sometimes
plays havoc with the gums. So do
strong liquids. Il is best not to
take caIomel. Let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.

Use gentle means

y Use gentle means
The kind of washing we mean is gentle,
soothing, cleansing with the modern blend
of palm and olive oils.
Its action is mild and the prefuse creamy
lather seems lotion-like. 1t leaves the skin
wonderfully smooth and fresh while re-
moving every trace of soil.
Such cleansing is most beneficial and
prepares the skin for cold cream if you
need it and the touch of rouge and pow

Neck, arms and shoulders should receive
the same beautifying treatment, for they
are conspicuous as the face for complexion

VALOMETER SHOWS
EIGHT MILLION
SIGNED UP

Great joy fills the bosoms of Trriga-
tion District officials today because of
the boost received by the valometer as
a result Of signed petitions received this
morning. The valometer now stands at
$8,000,000 with more in sight so that
officials have real basis for the hope
that the drive will be all over by Sat
urday night. Some large items are
known to have been pledged and no
doubt is entertained that the petitions
will be Forthcoming, but whether they
will be filed by Saturday remains to be
determined Petitions with signatures
for lesser sums are outstanding and
these may come in atany time putting
the drive over the top.
So certain are district officers that
the canvass for signatures will succeed
that they are already beginning to
think Of arrangements for the election.
In this connection the fact has been re-
vealed that hundreds of people may be
disfranchised in this matter because
their names are not on the register
There is yet time to register and cleo
tors should make it their business to
pay a visit to the county clerk or some
of his deputies and place their names on
the 1922 register. Clerk Cook is ready
to cooperate, bat the initiati, lies with
the people and everyone interested in
this matter, and that means everyone
should register. t s

HANDICAP ON RATES

The railway g attitude toward auto

subject of the address of j. T. Saund-
ers, general freight agent of the South
ern Pacific company, before the FL
Centre Rotary club at the weekly lunch
con this noon in the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Mr.. Saunders reviewed the present
situation and pointed out how the
motor transportation has interferred
given by Mr. Saunders was one Of the
most interesting of. the year and he
was given big applause at the con-
clusion.
View Of Railroads
AS principal speaker at today's lunch
con, J. T. Saunders, general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific at Los
Angeles, discussed the railroad view of
auto stage and truck competition. In
part he said;
'fConsider Tor a moment the situa-
tion of the railroads. We must give
to the proper regulatory body, state or
federal, 30 days notice Of any reduc-
tion or increase in our rates unless we
are able to convince the commission
that the change should be made on
shorter notice. If we could lower and
raise our rates at will to meet emergent,
situations, some of our problems would
be greatly simplified, but the public,
has decreed, probably with wisdom,
that all rate changes must. be submit
ted to the appropriate tribunal, state
or federal We have made, and viii
continue TO make, rate reductions on
specific traffic where it appears We
can successfully compete with the
trucks and get back new dollar for
am cid one, but we have not made, nor
do we at this time contemplate making,
any general reduction in our class rates
with the idea OF meeting Of truck COM
petition.
when, operating costs, have been
deflated and the time comes for a gen
eral reduction we shall get back part
OF the business we have lost to the
trucks, provided we give adequate serv-
ice.
''The user of transportation has the
right TO purchase it in the open market
at the most favorable terms, but should
be sure he is getting the most favorable
terms in the long rum. Service and
rates being fairly equal, the shipper
ought to prefer, and it is believed will
prefer, the railroads, for the sphere OF
Che truck is limited, and the railroad
must be supported if it continues to
function.
Tax Question Raised
''The railroads contend that it is un-
fair to permit motor transportation
lines, to operate automobiles virtually
tax free on the state highways, towarn
the construction of which the railroads
have contributed large sums Of money.
''It should be clearly understood that
the railroads do not oppose tho building
of Highways, nor the use of such high.
ways by motor transportation lines. But
the railroads rightfully insist that their
competitors, given the use Of such road
bed facilities as subsidy from the
government, should pay proportionate
taxes.
