G. 0. P. FIRM AGAINST
| U. S. RAIL OWNERSHIP
People Not Willing to Try That
Experiment, Says Senator
Sterling.
By the Associated Press.


AURORA. ILL.,, August 21.--The rec
ord of the Republican party "is a rec
ord of thrift, economy, progress and
of the application of the saving grace
of common sense to all the problems
and business of government" de-
clared Senator Thomas Sterling of
South Dakota in an address prepared
for delivery today. at the Central
States Fair here. With Calvin Cool
idge and Charles G. Dawes at the
head of affairs, that record Is an
earnest of what the future will be-"
he said.
Along lines of agriculture, finance,
business and immigration the Repub-
lican party has shown itself to have
the greater capacity to govern" he
asserted. In the field of world affairs
he referred to the Limitation of arma-
ments conference and the work of the
reparations commission.
THE people are not willing to risk
now the experiment of fnationalizat ton
or government ownership OF railroads,
with all the serious and doubtful
questions involved in such an enter
prise, nor are they willing to take
away from the Supreme Court of the
United States the power of that great
tribunal to interpret the law"

The saving represents a reduction OF

to Accountant Slippy. while the

Overland Ships 22,136
Cars During February

President John y. Willis Of
Wt'lys-ONerland announces another
new production record with Febru-
airy shipments Of - f36 Willys-
Knight and Overland cars. an aver
age of more than thousand cars 4
day for the - working days of the
month.
This mark surpasses the total of
February, 1875, by more than 20 per
cent
The peak Shipping point for one
day reached during the month was
1,29S cars
Paralleling this increase in ship
ping is the increase in return of re-
tail sales certificates from dealers
in the field. which is the one accu-
rate method that the factory pos
sesscs of keeping check on actual
retail purchases. According to re-
ports from the Office of the comp
troller retain sales certificates re-
turned during February are practi-
cally double those of a year ago.
which is taken by officials of the
factory as evidence of steady buying
activity throughout the colder wea-
Their periods.
Indications OF early spring buying
are presaged by the unusually great
number of driveaways from the fac
tory as soon as the zero weather of
early February had abated. A new
high mark for the year was reris-
tered on the 2Sth when 46S Csrs
were driven away.

Tells Of Visit to
Detroit Factory

Hudson Essex is set for the
greatest year by far it has ever
known said +. s. Carpenter. local
dealer. on his return from a trip 10
the factory in Detroit. He found
the plant operating at the largest
volume in its history
They have product in their new
six cylinder Essex Coach" he con-
tinued, listing at less than $1,000
which is the greatest value | have
seen in all my experience in the au-
tomobile business. 1t is a handsome
six cylinder car. enclosed for all
weather protection. and designed
and built on the mechanical prin-
ciples of the Hudson Super-Six
THE machines and manufacturing
methods which make this car posi-
bic at this unusual price are among
the most interesting sights | have
ever seen.
"They range from mighty steam
hammers and giant grinding ma
chimes to little devices so delicat tie
and sensitive that they put human
powers of perception and measure
ment to shame. There are whole
rows of automatic machines which
work to an eXactness worthy of a
Ndlcil-HidktF or JeWeler. Some of
them will work to precision of
one-quarter of one-thousandth of an
inch-a fraction of the thickness of
cigarette paper. That accuracy
is enforced for both Hudson and
Essex.
The mon in the plant are not
hurried. But their tasks are so well
organized for them that they accom-
pllsh an immense amount of work
without oNer-eXerting themselves.
The plants are light. clean and
equipped with the latest safety de-
vices.
in the Hudson factory, ninety
per cent of the constituent parts
which make UP Hudson and Essex
cars are manufactured and finished.
Even such units as aAleS. clutches.
ana transmissions are produced by
Hudson's own working force in it's
own plant--not bought outside and
assembled. That means only one
manufacturing profit.
Il have often wondered how cars
or such quality as Hudson and Es-
sex could sell at their surprisingly
low price Levels. Now I underrtanJ

Generally speaking, European au-
tomObileS have lower road clearance
than American cars This is of little
importance in England or France
where highways are improved. but
it is a decided disadvantage. for ex-
ample, when cars must negotiate the
rugged roads of Australia or South
Africa.
Adopt American Methods
European manufacturers, produc-
ing only limited number of cars a
day. must sell their products for
prices greatly in excess of those of
the American manufacturer with a
capacity of hundreds of cars daily.
a European car. selling for an
equivalent of $500, does not COM
pare in intrinsic value with an
American car at the same price,
because in the manufacture OF for
eign cars many costs, such as excess
sive overhead per car, expense of
complicated sales. ETC.. have TO be
absorbed
Some foreign manufacturers are
increasing their capacity and are
adopting American large production
methods. because by operating on a
smaller basis they have not been able
to meet the prices and quality of
American cars. Moreover. they real
ize that the repetition of the same
operation many times tends towards
greater precision and skill in the
worker. and consequently results in
higher degree OF accuracy and
quality in the product itself.
With the long experience, manu-

Cars
Are Dominating
Foreign Markets

The ability to produce quality cars
on a quantity basis is the underlying
reason why the United States leads
the nations of the world In the man
ufacture of automobiles. American
cars, with few exceptions, compete
successfully with the automobiles of
the country into which they are
shipped. and even In one or two
countries, where seriously handi-
capped by high import duties, many
American cars are sold.
Nearly "a per cent OF all the mo-

in 1922 were manufactured in this
country. Although final figures are
