Leaders Stay
In Top Places

Present reports Indicate that no
changes occurred last year in the
positions of the two leading automo-
lie manufacturers, considering the
total production of cas-. AS was the
case in 1920, Ford ranked first and
Dodge Brothers second.
The total number Of passenger cars
built during the yeac, according to an
estimate published recently by the
Wall Street Journal. was 1,535,O00, as
compared with 1,8S3.150 for 1920.
Commenting on the general condi-
ton of the automotive industry, Just
prior to the close OF the year, the
Boston News Bureau published the
following, which was subsequently
confirmed by Dodge Prothers:
because it is privately owned
relatively little in Ito way of figures
ever appears in print concerning the
iactivity of the Dodge Brothers motor
organization of Detroit Consequent
ly its splendid and emphatic expan-
sion in production this year and the
maintenance even IN recent weeks OF
ia high output, which makes it one OF
the conspicuous bright spots of the
industry, are not generally known
outside of the trade.
Dodge Brothers in the third quar-
ter Of this year ranked next to Ford
|among the worlds automobile pro-
ducers, with a monthly shipment
record of better than 1900 cars
This average is nearly maintained
within several hundred caTs-in
October an unusual achievement In
this year of unsettlament and COM
petition in the motor industry.
"Considerlng that production the
| first quarter of the year was down to
5000 cars. less than one eleventh OF
the same quarter in 1920, and less
thap any single months subsequent
production. that vitality that is
Dodge Brothers is apparent. The
company should end the year with n
final output of between $1,000 and
$4,000 cars and probably hold its
position as the leader of the industry
next to Ford. The heritage left by
the Dodge Brothers is thus being
splendidly upheld py the present
management"
It is understood that Dodge Broth
ers finished the year with a total pro-
duction of 92,476 cars. which is over
$4,000 cars greater production than
the next nearest competitor, not in
Guiding Ford, therefore prediction OF
Dodge Brothers continued by making
GOOD the News Bureaus leadership.

cans did not deem it proper to seek
advice on the bonus from those I'M
alterably opposed to it.
While there was no other refer
ence to the bonus on the floor. bonus
talk swirled through the corridors
and for the time being discussion of
plans for summing the army and
navy appropriation bill was forgot
ten. Republican members of the
Ways and Means committee, meeting
morning and afternoon, went over
details of the proposed bill. without
giving any intimation as to the exact
form OF the measure to be reported.
| The calling in of John T. Taylor, vice
chairman of the Legion's executive
committee, and Richard Jones, rep
resenting the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars, provoked the protest Of Mr..
Garner and his appeal that the
House step in and prevent Republi-
cans from meeting in secret with
witnesses favoring the measure,
without admitting Democratic men,
bers to listen, at least, to the deliber-
ations.
How far sentiment was swinging
to the sales tax as means of rails
ing revenue for the bonus, as advo-
Gated by President Harding. was the
subject of unending discussion
among members. 1t was evident on
all sides, however, that the Repub-
Leans were determined to put the
bill through the House, regardless
of what might happen to it in the
Senate. In the event the bill is in
shape for consideration by Repub-
lican caucus within the time set by
Mr.. Fordney, leaders said 1t would
be passed prior to March 4.
There is no power in the House
to head off the soldier bonus now"
said a Republican leader. which
seemed to be the view of-most men,
bers insisting upon its early pas
sage.
Democrats opposing the measure
insisted, on the other hand. that OBJ
lection to the sales tax was so strong
in some quarters that if that plan of
meeting soldier payments was pre-
sented squarely it might be defeat
ed.
But il the sales tax method is re-
sorted to, it was said, President
Harding would view with favor a tax
