WHAT FORD'S NEIGHBORS
ACTUALLY THINK OF HIM
AS PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER

want to know who was running
against Ford before making up my
mind. I don't think he is so superior
as a possible candidate that others
should not be given consideration"
George w. House, steel broker,
real estate operator and capitalist
1922 Ford building: Amen and
amen for Ford. I would like to see
him president. 1 don't know the man
personally but think he is the man
to clean up Washington. In forty
eight hours after taking office the
government overhead costs would
be cut fifty per cent and thousands
of desks and swivel chairs would be
put up at auction"

Margaret L. Dumas, telephone op-
orator, Gil Lantz avenue: 81 don't
know much about Ford's qualitlca-

be better than Harding. My father
works at Fords and he says all the
talk out there is favorable to Ford
for president"
Jay Symon, barber, 479 Field
avenue: Harding is all right and l
think Ford better wait four years
although L think he stands a good
chance of election"
Floyd M. Phinney, attorney, 1859
Marlboro avenue: Ford is not
qualified to handle the government
under the red tape that now exists.
He would last about six months and
end up by being impeached for
breaking several thousand laws and
regulations"
S. McCracken, elevator operator,
Dime Bank building: HE would
carry Detroit four to one. live at
a working mans hotel and know"
James L. Capon, owner Penobscot
cigar stores: ~ have known Ford
for fifteen years. If he were presi'
dent he would do the right, the fair
ana the honorable thing. Yet I do
not believe he would make a good
president because his entire life has
been spent in a field foreign to poll

ever. if he is elected he will be pres

North Carolina Tax
On Railroads Upheld
By Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, June 4. = North
Cardinals franchise and ad valorem
property tax levies against the
Southern, the Norfolk Southern, the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Sea-
board Air Line railroad were sus-
tanned today by the supreme court.
The tax was sustained in the low
er federal courts, but an injunction
was granted which had restrained
the state from collecting the tax dur
ing the past two years.
The railroads attacked the law as
tax on gross income which was
liable to state taxation under federal
laws. They further objected to that
feature of the law under which the
state tax was regulated according to
the manner in which the taxpayers
kept their records.

ing that the best was mona too good for

undertook my eastern trip in your Car,
with which I felt unfamiliar. Also, /
have never used an enclosed car for
touring before, and / expected it to bea
little weak on hill climbing, as well as
aittle top-heavy on the road.
Starting without great confidence in
the car because Of its moderate price

no trouble except what was due to my
