MOTOR INDUSTRY
in QUALITY STAGE
Mere Going and Return No
Longer Sufficient, Says
A. P. Kemp.

In discussing the growth Of the
automobile industry with dealers
recently A. P. Kemp. president and
general manager Of the Auburn
A utomobile Company, pointed out
that the development Of the motor
car should be divided into three
distinct stages.
First, there was the stage when
the manufacturer merely made a
car" said Mr.. Kemp. The biggest
thing claimed for this product was
less carriage wonderful inven-
tion and a great novelty, but not
entirely practical.
Then there came the time when
the novelty had worn of quite a
bit and the buyer of a motor car
demanded transportation. He want
ed to know that his car not only
would travel. but that 1t would go
clear through any trip he planned,
that it would take him to his des-
tination and bring him back.
But now we are in the third
stage of the development. The
motor car buyer knows he can Sc
cure transportation-and now he Is
demanding the highest standard of
quality in this transportation. He
takes it for granted that his car
will run and keep running. He
wants to know now that his car
will run with the minimum of at
tentiOn and expense; he wants. to
know that it is comfortable and
easy to drive: he wants to know
that it is different. attractive, yet
not freakish or unconventional. In
other words. the quality of the
transportation now is the biggest
thing in his mind"

average citizen used approximately
BIS board feet This Is a reduction
Of 81 per cent in thirteen years. or
nearly 8 per cent a year. Should
this decrease continue at its pres
ent rate. by 1910 the downward
sweep of consumption would ap-
proach zero. This, of course. will
not happen. The average consump-
tion will ultimately reach a fairly
stable level. which will depend
mainly upon the extent to which our
devastated forests are made again
productive.
Use Not Evenly Distributed.
The consumption Of lumber Is
not evenly distributed. Previous
studies indicated that the States of
the Pacific Northwest. now the last
great stronghold Of big numbering
operations. had a much higher per
capita consumption than those of
other regions. but the present fg-
ures are the first to give informa-
ton for all States upon the same
basis. Naturally the greatest per

Ruby, Alaska, Aug. 5, 1922

Ruby, Alaska, Aug. 5, 1922 To the Voters:
 I am Independent Candidate for the Alaska Senate, long term; and as such would say, regarding my qualifications for that position: That I was born in the state of Ohio; am graduate of the Denver Law School; was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of Colorado in 1897: I served in the Spanish American War; and was the chairman of the Ruby Induction Board during theWorld War; was a member of the Alaska Legislature in 1919; and was postmaster of Ruby, Alaska, over four years; and for the past four years have been prospecting most of the time. I have travelled the rocky road of diversity, as a farm laborer, clerk, prospector, miner, and a lawyer.
 I do not claim that if elected. to be able to cure and correct all the political evils of the day; nor do I believe in the political buncombe of making all kinds of promises before election and then breaking them after election.
 The following is a brief state ment of some of the principles that believe in, to-wit:
 l. Blot out all political buncombe and work for progressive reforms.
 ?. Conduct public affairs accord ing to good business principals.
 3. Let us have few good, plain, common-sense laws.
 1. Practice public economy and cut out government extravaganza and waste
 ,. Good roads and as many as public expenditure can afford to build.
 6. Good schools; give every child at least a primary education.
 '. Efficient mail service, includ- ing the prompt delivery of all en- route mails
 3. Government operation of the Alaska Railroad.
 g. Government operation of eff cient water transportation making connection with the Alaska Rail road, thereby giving the people the benefit of better service and cheap CT freight rates.
 If elected I shall, insofar as I may be able, work for the enactment of laws in accordance with the above stated principles.
