Stated Simply, the Car Is
Pushed Forward Through
i, the Rear Springs Instead OF
BY Radius Rods.
BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON.
Editor of Motor.

One OF the mysteries of the mod
ern motor car to most owners II
. magical something that is called
Hotchliss drive. Many owners seem
to assume that Hotchkiss drive is
definite part OF the mechanism. As
a matter of fact It is simply meth
cd Of % transmitting the drive that
certain parts are eliminated from the
chaseis.
Stated simply Hotchkiss drive
means that the car is pushed forward
through the rear springs instead OF
by radius rods, torque tubes or other
torque members. 1t also means that
the rear springs are called upon to
Jake the torvue or twist Of the whole
rear axle assembly. The rear axle
unit has a tendency to turn forward
or backward whenever the car is
started, stopped or accelerated.
When the car is driven straight
ahead there is a certain twisting
movement on tine part of the rear
axle whenever the speed OF the ve-
picle 10 altered.
This former condition differs
littls from that which takes place
when the brakes are applied. In this
.lattsr case the wheels are suddenly
stopped. whereas the rest of the car
tends to continue in the direction In
which II was going before, in ac.
cordance with the laws of inertia.
When the car Is being started the
axle develops a tendency to turn
backward. In some cases where the
springs are unusually flexible, the
rear axle can actually be observed TO
turn when the car is being started.
When the Hotchkiss method Of
driving Is employed, all this twist or
torQue of the rear assembly is alb
sorbed by the springs. Further. after
the car Is In motion, the rear axle
and springs must keep the rest of the
car In motion by pushing il. This is
obvious when 1t is realized that the
rear wheels give the impetus to the
whole vehicle. With the Hotchliss
drive method of propulsion this

The warranty is uniformly O. Just

Opposition to Cut in School
Appropriation.

Columbia, Feb. 19.--The senate is
expected to hear a great uproar of
protest from the school folk and those
interested in Une school activities on
account Of the, reductions recon-
mt nded in the appro priation bill by
the ways and means committee of the
house and passed by the house. There
is considerable disapproval of the
out, according to the protests that
are beginning to come to light.
The first of these guns was fired
Saturday when the Lexington County
Teachers Association authorized the
drawing of a set of resolutions urg-
ing that the public appropriations not
be cut and that the governor be COM
mended for the ideas contained in
his special message to the general
assembly.
Tt is understood that one or two
other bodies have taken similar ac-
ton and it is believed that others will
follow suit.
The appropriations for public
school purposes have been cut by
about S333,OOO and Governor Coop
err, in a message to the general as
sembly, foresaw the Gripping of the
schools. The ways and means COM
mittee explained its stand, stating
that the appeal for a reduction of
taxes had to be adhered to and that
the committee did not intend, nor
did it anticipate its action would Grip
pie the school system.
The house stood by its committee
to an item and refused to change an
iota in the section.
The next step will be up to the fl
nance committee of the senate. There
is speculation as to- what it will rec
ommend, but if it does not restore
some or all of the stricken out items
it is then expected that the fight will
be carried to the floor of the senate.
! It seems safe to predict that the plans
have the appropriations continued
will be urged to the last possible de-
gree.

Tightening Up.

The liquor-makers and the boot
leggers had as we'll take notice of
the fact that the screws + being
frightened. While under the federal
law, it seems, the judges are not al
lowed to punish by Imprisonment,
alone, but must impose alternative
punishment by fine, yet the punish
ment grows more and more severe.
This week Judge Watkins fined one
mar $3.50 and another 5000 for vio'
lation of the liquor-making laws.
These fines, while they do not SO
much deter as Imprisonment, are suf-
fcient to cause the liquor-maker
even to hesitate before he breaks the
law. 1t was not so long ago that fines
were imposed for like offenses of $25
or $50, or terms of 80 days were sub
stituted, and the nan convicted was
allowed to go home and rest a while
before he commenced to serve his
sentence, or before he was required
to pay his fine. Perhaps he was allow
ed to remain at home until lay-by
time arrived, so that he might serve
his sentence in the vacation period
But that time has passed. The time of
small fines and short terms of pun
ishment is passing, and in a little
while the law will provide a punish
ment for the liquor-maker and the Ii
quor seller which is commensurate
with his crime, considering the fact
that these crimes are but the breed
ers Of other more fragrant crimes.

Suspending Preparations For
War.

The United States government will
Immediately stop an expense of So
600, 900 per month in the ccnstruc-
ton of capital ships, and this is but
a small beginning of the huge saving
in the war establishment of the ma
ton due to the armament congress
edict at Washington. What the Unit
ed States is saving other nations will
save and there will be hundreds OF
millions eventually saved each year
by the five great nations which are
parties to the pact that has been
agreed upon by the Washington con-
ferees of these nations.
We would roughly estimate the
saving to the world in terms of sever
al billion dollars annually and the
groaning populations of the various
countries will be relieved of at least
a large share of their huge burden OF
taxes, while the generations OF the
future will not be taught war, the de-
tense of frontiers, compulsory mill
tary training, etc., from babyhood.
What the world will be able to ac-
complish in the pursuits of peace
with billions of dollars turned into
the advancement of science and edu-
cation can not be estimated. The gov
ernments may double their %appropria-
tions for the advancement of the
agricultural and live stock industry,
may lend their aid unstintingly to
movements that will conquer diseases
which have never before been con-
ouered, will be able to develop inland
waterways for commerce, dredge the
swamp land, irrigate the arid land.
Indeed, there is no way of estimating
the good that can be done with a few
billion a year. The day of the super
dreadnaught and battle cruiser
brought huge burdens to the tax
payer, to say nothing of the terrible
damage inflicted by these engines OF
war and standing armies of Europe
kept the populace strained to the
bursting point to pay taxes to main
tain them. While there have been no
definite agreements regarding armies
and their reduction in size, still it is
entirely logical that this will follow
the naval holiday that is to be de-
clared.
Indeed, the war torn. world is slow
ly awakening and is now rubbing its
eyes and wondering if there isn't
some mistake. That there is no mis-
take and that it is all a glorious real
ity is a fact which will bring the full
est JOY with its complete realization

Figures of the Income Tax for
1919 Annunced.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Afte,
more than two years of feverish days
and sleepless nights the bureau of in
ternal revenue was today able to an

1919.
Herewith are the outstanding items
of interest:
Five persons paid taxes on incomes
over S5,O00,000 Their names are not

from $4,000, 900 to S9,oO0,OOO; AT
of from 100000 to $4,000 900.
This is a total of IS persons paying
taxes on more than a million in 1919.
The total number of incomes over
500, 900 a year was 5,526.
A total of 5,332,491,49S. As COM
pared with 1918 there was a gain of
9O7,646 returns, an increase of S.

Per Capita Income
The per capita net income report
ed was $1S7.32 and the per capita
income $11.98.
On the basis of returns "fled"
s'that phrase certainly has a cold,
doubling sound" the average net in

which the average tax was S23S.0S.
The number of corporations in
come tax returns other than those of
personal service corporations was
S2O,198. Of these 2O9,634 reported

Darlington County Leads ir

A tabulation of last weeks returns
shows that Darlington county, with
1904 bales signed, is still leading
all other counties in the cotton co.
operative marketing campaign, ac-
cording to figures given out by the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Co.
operative Association. Dillon county
lis second, Sumter third and Spartan.
burg fourth. Dillon led in the number
of contracts sent into headquarters
last week, Newberry being a close
second in this respect.
Last week was one of important de-
velopments, according to a statement
from the association, which says that
Sentiment for the movement which
has been growing steadily during the
past few months assumed the pro-
portions of a tidal wave in some Sec
lions of the state during the week"
The visit Of DR.. Clarence Poe, who
made four speeches in the state dur
ing the week, has set the movement
going strong in some of the counties,
it was said.
Aiken Banks Indorse.
The association yesterday received
q statement signed by the banks at
Aiken-the Bank of Western Caro-
lima, the First National Bank, the Cit
izens' Bank and the Farmers and
Merchants bank-strongly %indorsing
the movement, expressing the belief
that the association twill greatly aid
in establishing the cotton market"
and strengthen the credit of the far
mers. W. B. Turner, president of the
Bank of Western Carolina, which OPP
crates a chain of seven banks, signed
the contract himself and has given
a ringing Endorsement of the plan.
Mr.. Turner operates a farm himself
and hence is eligible for membership
in the association.
Similar statements have been is
sued by the banks in a great number
of the counties of the state and in
some counties the bankers have TAX
en- the initiative in the campaign ex-
pressing the belief that the states
greatest hope lies in the successful
organization of the cooperative asso-
citation.
Speakers Bureau.
A speakers bureau is being organ
lied for the last two months of the
campaign and hundreds of South Car
DINA business men and professional
men and farmers will be asked to
give a special amount of their time to
the prosecution of the campaign.
This course, the association says, was
followed in all of the other states and
there was a ready response on the
part of those asked to contribute of
their time. The South Carolina asso-
citation says that it feels sure that
the response in South Carolina to this
request will be no less liberal than
it has been in the other states.
The women of the state will be
called upon also to contribute their
part to the success of the campaign,
it was stated. Officers of the asso-
%ciation said yesterday that one of the
most enthusiastic members of the as
ISOLATION was a woman farmer, who
has not only signed the contract her
self, but has written to headquarters
for contracts, saying that she wants
to make some of her neighbors join.
