RADICAL IDEAS

Outside of the limited circles of ad-
vanced liberals in senate and house,
Senator Ferris proposal to confis-
cate by taxation almost all of the
estate left by each person at death,
was received as joke. The logic of
this plan would be the transfer, in one
generation, of the control of all great
industries to the public. 1t would
abolish the capitalist order of society,
which the conservatives in congress

declare is based upon the ri~ht of ev-
cry man to accumulate wealth for the
use of his heirs.
This suggestion is deemed suffi-
cient to prevent the selection of the
Michigan senator to any committee
dealing with taxation or finance.

That blamed cuss came over here
year or so ago and showed how grace
fully the easy marks could be fleeced.

For 8 years my mother has been
very sick, being in bed most of h
time, she was very weak, troubled
with indigestion and heartburn. We
tried everything imaginable until we
bought a bottle of KoREKTo. My
mother felt better at once and now
after the third bottle of Korekto
she is able to do her own washing.
We certainly recommend Korekto

AMERICAS OFFER REJECTED

Again Americas good offices ln the solution of the economic crisis in Eu- rope have been rejected and the 1hl- ted States has retreated from the scene. Europe. which professes a de- sire for American friendship, is not willing to accept cooperation on our terms.
 So far as the breakdown of negOua- tions over the proposed conference to inquire into Germany's capacity to pay reparations is concerned, the blame rests with France. Possibly the word responsibility should be substituted for blame. France, rightly or wrong ly, does not feel that il is subject tot world censure for imposing the condl- lions which led to the failure of the negotiations. It is difficult for any American, and for most Europeans, to- accept the French viewpoint, however much they sympathiZe with it. In the larger view, world opinion regards European economic revival as being paramount to real or fancied security for France as that security is defined by France-virtually meaning the dis integration of Germany.
 Premier Polncare iaid down condl- tions to the acceptance of the Amerl- can proposal tor an economic confer
 . Secretary Hughes could not accept. Primarily Poincare sought to limit inc investigation of Germany's capac ity to pay for term of six years-or until 1930 this date being the limit ot time in which any postpOnement of payments might be made without unanimous consent of the separations commission. After that time, consent, by another inquiry might be made.
 Another condition Imposed was that the scope of the inquiry should not include the French occupation ot the Ruhr basin. In the opinion of the American government, these llmlta- lions were such as to preclude the pos sibility of the proposed commissions going beyond what was termed an auditing of Germany's accounts, and consequently no advantage was seen in proceeding with the conference.
 It cannot be charged that the Uni led States is lacking in desire to be of service to Europe. MT. Hughes has made il plain that this country wants to help avert an economic breakdown. The offer was made in a sincere ef- fort at cooperation. But it has again been rejected, or hedged about with such conditions as to nullify the whole undertaking. Again it is Europe'sI loss and our gain.

MAKE NOVEL TEST
Demonstration Shows Efficiency Of
TOrque Tube.

A novel demonstration Of the ef-
ficiency and safety of torque tube con-
struction in an automobile has Just
been given in San Francisco.
Thousands of people were surprised
to see n car with the rear springs de-
tached from the axle towing an i'm
messe steam roller weighing more
than two and One-half tons.
II was Buick automobile and the
stunt was performed to illustrate the
reliability of the torsion drive, re-
gardless of what happened to the rear
springs.
Over the steep hills of San Fran
cisco this steam roller was tov'ed by
the Buick. with the two rear springs
painted white 50 that they could be
plainly seen as they hung suspended
in the air several feet above the rear
axle.
II was a most remarkable demon
stration of the power of a Buick and
the absolute dependability of the tor
sion drive. which means that the rear
axle is not held in alignment with the
rear springs, the power being trS ns-
mitted direct 10 the rear wheels and
not through the springs.

These windows slide up and down

These qualifications combined with

The new Overland is powered by a
sturdy, high speed motor, designed and
built in the big Overland plant at

the usual number of miles to the gal
lon of gasoline.
1t is remarkably low on oil con-

vogue only on higher priced cars.

This tone of optimism is not con-
