Life

Overland Automobile Company and

bile manufacturer in the United

Motor Sales Company. With him

for the remarkable success of his
company in the last two years.
Mr.. WHY'S is coming to Bismarck
for meeting with the Lahr Motor
Sales Company dealers in western
North Dakota and eastern Montana,
responding to an invitation Mr. Lahr
has been pressing for two years. 1t
will be the first visit Mr.. Willys
has made with dealers between Mimi
Overland dealers. including A. r.
Glasman, manager of the Lahr Miles
City, Montana, branch will be here.
Mr.. Lahr was especially pleased
with the recognition of Bismarck and
Bismarck territory contained in the
decision of the company head to
come here, it being the first time in
IA years experience that chief Off
cia1s of the company have visited
Bismarck.
Mr.. WHY'S, who is said to be an
entertaining as well as a forceful
speaker, is pioneer in the automo-
bile manufacturing business, but has
attracted wide attention because of
the "come back" Of his company after
suffering postwar difficulties.
John N. Willys was born in Can
andaigua, New York, his father own
ing a small brick and tile works and
a paper box factory. The merchan-
dising genius of WHY'S appeared on
the surface early in life. Before he
was about ready for college his faith
er's tile yard at % cents day for
after-school labor. Later he tried
to sell books, the Life of Garfield,
which vas the one flat failure of his
career. He went into the laundry
business as youth, and won. WHY'S
decided he must have an education
and went back to Canandaigua re-
solved to become a lawyer. As he
was about ready for collee his faith
er died. The bicycle craze struck
the country about this time. WHY'S
invested 500 and got an agency. At
the age of 10 he built flourishing
business. The business went bang
in the Free Silver rumpus of 1896.
He became a travelling salesman
Other businesses he went into, never
fearing to plunge into a proposition
he believed good, and at the age of
27 he was heading a business whose
volume totalled $500,000 year.
When the automobile came in WHY'S
realized its possibilities. He sold
them, and then decided to build them.
His climb up the ladder was remark
able, his place is now secure. His
achievement in the automobile bust
ness in the last two years ranks as
one of the outstanding successes in
industrial life in the country.

WOULD OPEN
TAX RETURNS
Democrats and Insurgents
Force Through Measure

Washington, May 3.-Tax returns
we're .o..d open to public inspection
late yesterday by the senate as Re-
publican insurgents and Democrats
combined in the first major attack
on the revenue bill.
The publicity proposal was bitter
ly fought by Republican organiza-
tion leaders who were willing, how
ever, to agree to inspection of the
returns by certain congressional
committees, as voted by the house
and approved by the finance COM
mittee.
Disposing series of other pro-
posals in an eight hour session, the
senate cleared the way for opening
today of the contet on the income
tax schedule, the heart of the bill.
Other action taken included:
Rejection of the finance commit
tee amendment imposing a ten per-
cent on radio sets, 40 to 13.
Rejection of treasury department
proposal to limit deductions in rela-
tion to income from tax exempt Sc
curities, 81 to SO.

Garden Committee of AssOci.

Advice to Citizens
RESULTS OF IT'S STUDY

How best to start a lawn, what to
plant and when, and how to take
care of it-these are some things the
Garden Committee of the Association
of Commerce hopes to tell people of
the city, giving them the results of
the study made by members of the
committee.
The first statement, herewith, tells
about lawns, and other recommends
tions will be made from time to
time.
"Since the board of city commits
sioners has assured the residents of
Bismarck that there will be reduction
in the rate charged for water used
on lawns and gardens, there should
be an increased interest in beautify-
ing the lawns, boulevards and gar
dens of the city," says a statement
by the committee.
at will be impossible to make Bis
marck City Beautiful unless the
citizens generally take an interest
in beautifying their home grounds
and boulevards," the committee state
ment added. Members of the garden
committee are: Mrs. O. j. st. Onge,
Mrs. F. L. Conklin, H. S. Dobler, Burt
Finney, DR.. r. S. Towne and c. L..

enough so that the grass can thrive.

warmer the weather the more diff
cult it is to succeed. All seed houses
put out mixtures of grass seed which
they recommend. The committee sug-
gests that white clover be added to
the seed if it is not already part
of the mixture purchased.

MOSCOW, June My MaiD.-
At the afternoon session Comrade
Thalman tookethe chair and called
upon Comrade William F. Dunno,
(America).
Comrade Dunno said that in his
report Comrade Zinoviev has dealt
mildly with the. American party not
because that party had not made mis-
takes, but because these had been
corrected. The mistakes which had
been made were due largely to the
composition of the party and to the
difficult nature of the American pop
ulation. There has never been a mass
revolutionary party in the United
States,. and all attempts to form one,
hitherto, had failed
Socialists Gone.
The American Party had from its
very beginning met with the open
hostility of the American bourgeoisie;
and 1t had been able to operate in
the open only since 1922. The Ameri-
can Party was not faced with the
necessity, as were the European par
ties, of splitting he masses from so
cial democratic leadership
The American Socialist Party had
been dispersed, with the exception of
a handful who were now in the Com
pers camp. There was no revolution
airy party except the Communist Par
ty of America. They were confront
ed with no dangers in the formation
of the united front with lower strata
of the ELECTROMAGNETIC and with
trade union leaders. The American
Party met with no competition in
It's campaign for the leadership of
the masses.
Its object in carrying on the ma
noeuvres for the formation of the
Farmer-Labor Party, was TO drive a
wedge between the exploited farm
ers and workers and the capitalist
parties. There we're some differences
within the party as to the basis for
the Farmer-Labor movement Some
wished to base 1t upon the industrial
workers, but the minority tended to
over-emphasize the Importance OF the
agricultural workers. In this connec-
ton Comrade Peppers claim to rep
resent the Left was not correct. To
wish to make the agricultural work
or the basis of the movement as
against the Industrial proletariat was
not Left basis.

can class struggle.
For the first time in American
history, a Communist Party will
participate in the national elections.
1t will in truth be the beginning of
the end for American capitalism
the imperialistic would-be enslaver
of the worlds workers.
And the campaign committees
will bear the brunt of the battle.
They will have to help secure petit
tions, sell and distribute special
campaign literature, and especially
they will have the duty of helping
to organize campaign meetings.
These meetings must be regarded
as the most important that have
ever been held in America. The
workers during election struggles
can be reached as at no other time,
and extraordinary efforts must be
made to fill the meetings with work
ers who are becoming more and
more receptive to the message
which this campaign is to convey.
Machinery of Workers Party
"The headquarters of the Cam
paign Manager is, of course, located
in the national Office of the Workers
Party. And every effort will be
made to rally the entire machinery
and full support of the Workers
Party organization for the work of
this campaign. Printed bulletins,
pamphlets and leaflets will be dis
tributed broadcast thruout the coun-
try. And a corps of speakers and
organizers will lend their services
during the campaign.
All of which will have the effect
of stimulating the entire Workers
Party organization, and will per-
haps add thousands to it's present
ranks. So that at the conclusion of
this campaign, the Workers Party
OF America will have become an
even greater factor in American
political life and in the everyday
struggles of the working class.

Campaign Manager, Workers Party.
1T will be rare pleasure to man.
! age this campaign, headed as it
is by two such American modern
revolutionists as William 2. Foster
and Benjamin Gitlow. Foster, so
we'll known to millions of industrial
workers in the steel, packing and
railroad industries; Gitlow, the rev.
dictionary garment worker from
New York's East Side, and famous
thruout the entire Eastern indus
trial section because of his militant
fight against the unjust system that
sentenced him to its prisons.
Foster will bring to this campaign
the results of long years of strug-
gle as an active revolutionist and
organizer of the working masses;
and in addition the results of two
trips to Soviet Russia-the last one
just recently completed. From the
knowledge, gained on this last trip
to Russia, he can very we'll draw the
proper comparison between their
Soviets and our Teapot Domes. And
the virile speeches of Ben Gitlow-
which earned for him the revolu-
tionary sobriquet of "the Red
Ruby"-will ring thru the land dur
ing his coast-to-coast speaking tour.
Foster, GitIow Against Field
II will be Foster and Gitlow, with
the comparatively slender financial
resources but unlimited revolution
airy fervor of our Party-the Work
ers Party-against the millions of
dollars at the disposal of the repub-
lican and democratic parties and
the ,"not-yet" party of LaFollette.
To those who love a good fight, it
is worth while to live in this great
year Of Teapot Dome, Of national
elections-and of steadily growing
unemployment.
Our Party will throw itself into
the coming political struggle with
unbounded enthusiasm, for this will
mark historic epoch in the Ameri-
