Quaek. And Fakes.

There are all sorts Of quacks and
fakes in the world that may be
classed under many headings, but
the one that appeals to the automo-
bile owner seems TO have the largest
following.
The American Automobile asso-
citation has issued a warming to the
motoring public to beware Of mush-
room organizations that spring up
each year and not only gather in
thousands Of dollars from the mo-
torist. but ruin the confidence that
the motoring public has in its own
worthwhile organizations.
The safest policy for the automo-

RADIO THEE

Radio and its many functions con-
tinues to be a wonder to the people of
the world. The latest use to which
radio has been put is, according to
the report just made public by the
commerce department, that of thief
detecting in places where precious
metals are handled.
Previous to the installation of this
method Of thief detecting workmen in
Germany handling precious metals
have been subjected to a daily search,
or have been compelled to use what
are known as Change rooms," places
where clothing is changed before leav-
ing the building. These conditions
are done away with as the new ma
chine, located at the factory door,
rings a bell whenever a workman
carrying metal in unusual quantities
comes within its range.

A HALE OLD MAN.

Colonel John Coolidge, who has al
ways been a considerable father, even
as the president has always been a
dutiful son, journeyed to Boston last
week to allow the doctors to look him
over. The colonel, who for all Of his
80 years, logged down in a day coach
from Vermont to Boston, admitted
that he really was doing it to please
Cal, and that he guessed he felt all
right considering his years. There is
no one of US but will have a feeling
of kindly satisfaction that the doctors
have confirmed the colonel's judg-
ment, and also dissipated the worries
of the president. They found he had
a slow pulse, but no slower than his
years would make natural develop
ment of, and the colonel was released
to return to his own chores at home,
feeling as well as ever.

~FLIMiNATING WASrE

For a number of years past it has
been the earnest desire of the people
to get the government out of BUSH
ness. In order to do this it has taken
carefully considered planning and now
the people are aware of the fact that
business has a problem of it's own,
namely, the elimination of the waste
in production and distribution. This
is a problem that is being carefully
studied by the leading business men
Of all industries throughout the ma
ton. Another angle that c~onfronts
the people is the matter of local tax
alton. This is. n that must be dealt
with by the states, counties and cities,
and it must be dealt with in a manner
that does not SAVIOR of "kid glove"
methods. It may hurt a certain. class
Of office holders, but it will save the
balance of the people of the country
large sums of money.
One thing is evident, and that IS
that the president does not desire to
do anything that will change the pros
perous condition in which this country
now is.

MORE TAX REDuCTIONs.

An additional II per cent reduc-
tion in income taxes is regarded as
wholly possible this year-based on
the unofficial estimates as made by
the treasury officials. The treasury
department has intimated that of it
self it is not likely to propose any
particular program for the further
reduction Of taxes, feeling that the
matter can now be properly left to
the members of congress. The big
thing which has been accomplished
by the president and Secretary Mel
Ion in this matter of tax reduction has
been not only to; show the will but the
way to reduce taxes, and it can be
said without any. exaggeration that
never before in the history of cor
gress has the disposition within con-
gress itself to reduce taxes been SO
pronounced. In fact by their per-
sistehce the president and Mr.. Mel
Ion, instead of hauling the load alone
have secured many willing congress.
siOnal workers, anxious and ready Il
carry on with them.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-05-13

Furthermore, in asking the business
men of the country to forget Wash
ington, he has already co-operated IN
a program to assist them in this
line. To that end he has advised
that the "Papl Frying" activities OF
various bureaus, boards and comms-
sions, which has bred an entirely dis
tinct race of ~parasitical, auditor ac-
countants, viii be- halted. After a
board or a commission has made a
proper investigation and has DELHI
erately reached a conclusion, he agrees
that such conclusions are properly a
matter for publicity, but the habit Of
making progressive reports, founded
on half truths and half visions, which
have excited and disturbed business
men, meets with his expressed disap-
prevail. 1t is true that the Demo-
cratic member of one of these gov
eminent trade Investigating bodies
has issued a proclamation of his own,
announcing his dissent from the presi-
dents rule, but there need be no fear
that this note of defiance will last
very long. The business men of the
country on the whole are trying to do
the right thing in the right way. The
president appreciates that and sees
no reason why, in addition to their
ordinary business problems, they
should be continually harried by anna
teur Investigators with governmental
badges and credentials. The public
at large will commend his decision.

Washington, D. c., May 12.-Twen-
ty-five Republican senators will APP
peal to the people in the November
elections in 1926. In at least twelve
of the cases sharp primary or cleo
ton day contests are anticipated. On
the other hand the Democratic n
to- hose seats will be up for cleo
ton r virtually certain of being re-
turned. Under the circumstances the
planning of the campaign to protect
the Republican seats is an all-impor-
tant matter. Senator Moses, chair
man of the senatorial committee,
whose reelection will come in '26, has
sir-G-y started work, and William M.
Butler, chairman of the national COM
mittee, has in preparation a plan OF
general cooperation. The impor-
tance of the Republicans holding these
seats and thus sustaining the presi-
dent is understood by all. AS a re-
suit more than a little work, indeed
an extraordinary amount of work, is
being done at the present time, in
comparison with off years in the
past. The n thought in the mind of
Chairman Butler is to emphasize,
first, last and all the time, the need
of regularity within the party. He is
asking for regularity in the party,
not for the aggrandisement of the
Republican organization as such, but
because only by regularity, by hold
ing the Republican voters in compact
groups, can real results be achieved
and can the president be properly
sustained in the program which he
has outlined.
