ROADS, PAPER MONEY Will
BOOST MEXICAN CAR SALES

tative Mexican business men who
visited the United States there will be
an increase Of 100 per cent in the
number of automobiles Ill Mexico in
the next twelve months and automo-
bile business for that period will be
the best in the history of the country.
SIGNS DEALERS.
"Moon and Diana sales in Mexico
have shown n steady increase in the
past twelve months and we have sue
cecded in signing up in that time a
number Of progressive distributors and
dealers. Contrary to popular belief
Mexico has some very progressive
business men and a number of thor
oughly modern automobile showrooms,
these, of course, being located in the
principal cities.
Conditions in Cuba are improv-
ing and the Cuban government recent
iy put through a great road building
program involving an expenditure of
about $300,000,000. When this pro-
gram is completed Cuba will have a
veritable net work of fine highways
all over the country. This program
has aroused an intense interest in
automobiles in Cuba and has served
as a tremendous impetus to business
there. The outlook for Moon and
Diana business in both Mexico and
Cuba is far more encouraging than it
has ever been in the history of this
company"

CHEVROLET ADDS NEW
SERVICE SCHOOL UNIT

The Chevrolet Motor Company, ex-
panding its policy of assuring long
years Of driving satisfaction through
proper service. has added three more
units to its chain of service schools,
according to the Smith Motors Soles
Company.
There are now ten schools in vari-
Gus parts of the country. each in
charge of two highly skilled instruct
ors. 1t is automatic that there always
is one right way and several wrong
ways of doing anything. The Chevro-
let instructors teach that right way.
Their classes are small-not more
than six or eight men-to permit of
individual attention. Each week the
ten schools return TO the service or
ganization between 90 and so gradu-
ate mechanics whose specialized
knowledge of the car and its servicing
equipment eliminates the element OF
chance and guess work.

CONTEST

More than 10000 members Of
WHY'S Ovcrland's huge national field
organization are in the throes of what
is probably the greatest sales contest
known to the automobile industry in
the WHY'S Derby which was an
nounced on October 1, according to the
San Antonio Overland company.
Especially significant is the staging
Of the contest which will bring cash
and material prizes worth nearly s50,-
coo before the field organization.
Titled 1.-THE WHY'S Derby" this huge
sales contest commentaries the TWEEN
ty-fifth anniversary Of President John
y. WHY'S entry into the automobile
business. Although it's n long bark
back to the days when Mr.. WHY'S first
entered the automobile industry as a
retail salesman for One,lungcr in an
eastern state, Willys-Overland's presi-
dent drew IN the plans for this sales
contest with the idea in mind Of Civ
ing greater profits to the retail sales
man in the field.
More than 40 individual prizes are
offered in the WHY'S Derby. so dis
tributcd among the classifications of
the retail organization that no one
man can compete for more than one
prize. Four main classifications are
provided, including dealers, retail
statesmen, retail sales managers, and
district representatives, ear order
clerks and wholesale managers. with
subdivisions for various types of con-
tcstants in these classes. Prizes in
the contest vary from engraved gold
pencil and pen sets to an Overland
Six Deluxe sedan. together with sill
yer chests, watches and cash awards.
The opening Of the WHY'S Derby
has already reflected its pressure in
an extended volume of future orders at
the Willys-Overland factory.

100000 TIRES
MADE EVERY

Firestone, a Leader in In
dustry, Has Capital
Of $53,5S7,430

From a force of twelve men wiz
daily output of about 40 carriage
tires to a personnel of 1000 with a
production of approximately 10000
tires every "a hours, spells the prog.
ress of the Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company, according to H. G. s.
Smith, well known Firestone dealer of
San Antonio.
Mr.. Smith, who has just received a
copy Of the book published by the
company on its 25th anniversary,
quoted facts and figures TO show Fire
stones part in the development of
tires and its position as one Of the
leading industrial organizations Of the
world.
"No company has made a greater
impress on motor transportation or
has made greater progress in the in
dustry during the last % years than
Firestone," Mr.. Smith said.
LARGE CAPITAL.
"The anniversary publication shows
clearly the record of its achievements.
In 1900. when Harvey S. Firestone
organized the company it was capital
lied at $4,000. There was no fac
tory, only an office and the com
pany hired another concern to make
its first product.
To-day the capital of the company
is $53,5S7 400 and there are $780,
400 feet of floor space. There were
6,627,973 tires produced last year AMI
the volume of sales totaled $50,
600 with profits of $S,116,GS9.
THE Firestone plants are the
largest in the world devoted exclusive.
ly to the manufacture of tires. Fire,

Akron, Ohio, its headquarters. Nam
moth factories. residential district for

a plant in Singapore for the washing

company leased 100000 acres Of
land in Liberia for the production Of
crude rubber, which is designed 10
make this country independent of the
foreign monopoly.
"Firestone has made some Of the
greatest contributions to the tire in

TIRES CONTINUE
To INCREASE
IN PR|CE.

IF spot rubber continues to sell at
$1.06 per pound, the prices of tires
will advance again within the next
few weeks" states James Jamison, To-
cal tire and accessory dealer. "Condi-
lions in the factories. together with
the price of the raw materials. will
cause tires to continue their upward
trend" he says.
Mr.. Jamison has just returned from
an extensive tour of the North and
East. where he visited some of the
largest tire factories in the world. He
attended a number of sales conferences
while on the trip.
SMALL STOCKS.
"The factories have small surplus
stocks, insufficient to care for the de-
mands of the dealers. Many of the
plants are running only part time,
while 40 per cent of the factories have
discontinued manufacturing tires and
tubes during the last year.
There are only few tires and
tube concerns in the United States
that can take care of the regular
orders of dealers. These companies are
hardly able to do that.
PRICE RISE CONTINUES.
"The recent rise in tire prices has
been expected for some time. 1t was
impossible for companies to continue
making tires at the old price. 1t is
probable that the present tire prices
will continue to rise until rubber
prices are lower. Present indications
are that the higher prices will remain
until the latter part of 1926.
although the tire and tube prices
have been rising throughout the year
our business has been steady and is
now above that of last fall.' he says

CARLOADS Of
M0T0RCARS
Auto Freight Business
Over Railroads
Widespread.

Widespread use Of the railroads by
the automobile manufacturers total
T34. $50 carloads Of cars and parts in
1924 as indicated in the compilation
of the National Interstate Commerce
report made public by James s. Mar.
win, chairman Of the conference of
the Automobile Traffic Managers,
meeting here today.
A significant feature Of the report
is that Western and Southern lines
had large volume of business as well
as those roads in the territory of the
automobile factories.
WESTERN LINES ACTIVE.
While the figure OF $4,000 repre-
sents the original carloads this be-
comes multiplied as different railroads
handle the car so that the sum total
of carloads hauled by the different
roads is 1874, IA. While western
lines get but 10S,000 original car
loads. they nevertheless transport
oUi.OOU carloadS.
The figure of $4,000 carloads of
feight originated represents only the
automobiles, motor trucks. chassis,
bodies and wheels and parts Except
tires and chains). 1t does not in
clude gasoline, road building mate,
rial and other automotive freight. Not
all these items have been classified by
the /. G. c., but the total is esti-
mated by the traffic conference to
be 1881 900 original carloads or near
ly four times the amount OF freight
going from the factories in complete
vehicles and parts.
ID. T. I. is SECOND.
The New York Central lines origi-
nate the greatest amount of motor We
hicular freight traffic, 239.355 car
loads, the total carloads carried by
them being 3T2,1j2.
The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
railroad is second in point of ton
mage carried with a total of 100000
tons. This road also has the heaviest
average loading per car with 20 tons
as compared with the usual average of
So tons. The reason for this is the
large proportion of parts and mate
rails carried by the d. ". & /. As
might be expected the Michigan Cen
trail has the largest business Of any
individual road from the standpoint of
carloads carried. This total is 169.-
637 of which 149.347 carloads origi
mated in that system.

Edmund FL. Scrrano, director Of ex-

an extended trip through Mexico and
Cuba in the interest Of Moon and

opening of the National Bank of Mex

proving to a marked degree and the
outlook for financing Moon and Diana
cars is very encouraging indeed. The
opening of the National Bank of
Mexico is most vital factor in auto
mobile sales in Mexico. For the first
time this bank is issuing paper money
which is backed by a gold reserve and
naturally this gold reserve plan is hav-

BETTER HIGHWAYS.

Another important factor in the
encouraging outlook for Moon and
Diana business in Mexico is the fact
that Mexico is spending $40,000,00O
for highways within the next few
months, this work to begin immediate
ly, and business men in Mexico say
that this project will be the greatest
boost to business in Mexico that the
country has known in generations.
There is no scarcity Of labor in Mex
leo, in fact labor is plentiful in Mex
leo and can be had for 80 cents a day,
while material for the road work is
free. One of the great highways in
the Mexican road building program
will connect Mexico City with Laredo,
Texas, distance of 600 miles, while
another, according to present plans,
will reach from Mexico City to Juarez,
distance of 900 miles. There arc
other plans for modern highways be-
tween Vera Cruz, Tampico and Guada-
lajara.

which America represents. We have
not by any means put them fully into
practice, but we have strongly signi-
fed our belief in them. The encour-
aging feature of our country is not
that it has reached it's destination,
but that 1t has Overwhelmingly ex-
pressed It's determination to proceed
in the right direction. 1t is true that
we could. with profit, be less sectional
and more national in our thought. 1t
would be well IL we could replace
much that is only false and igno-
rant prejudice with true and en-
lightened pride of race. But the last
election showed that appeals to class
and nationality had little effect. We
were all found loyal to a common
citizenship. The fundamental precept
of liberty is liberation. We cannot
permit any inquisition either within
or without the law or apply any re-
lisious test to the holding of office.
The mind of America must be forever
free.
1t is in such contemplations, my
fellow countrymen, which are not ex-
haustive but only representative, that
I find ample warrant for satisfaction
and ENCOURAGEMENT. We should not
let the much that is to do obscure
the much which has been done. The
past and present show faith and hope
and courage fully justified. Here
stands our country, an example Of
tranquility at home, a patron of tran
quillity abroad. Here stands its Gov
ernment. aware of its might but obe-
dient to it's conscience. Here 1t will
continue to stand. seeking peace and
prosperity, solicitous for the welfare
of the wage Garner, promoting en-
terprise, developing waterways and
natural resources, attentive to the in
tuitive counsel of womanhood, en-
couraging education, desiring the ad-
vancement of religion. supporting the
cause of justice and honor among the
nations. America seeks no earthly
empire built on blood and force. No
ambition, no temptation, lures her to
thought of foreign dominions. The
legions which she sends forth are
armed, not with the sword, but with
the cross. The higher state to which
she seeks the allegiance of all man
kind is not of human but of divine
origin. She cherishes no purpose save
to merit the favor of Almighty God.

upon production and conservation.
For individuals or for governments to
waste and squander their resources
Is to deny these rights and disregard
these obligations. The result of eco
nomic dissipation to a nation is al
ways moral decay.
= These policies of better interna-
tional understandings, greater econ
omy and lower taxes have contributed
largely to peaceful and prosperous
Industrial relations. Under the help
full influences of restrictive immigra-
tion and a protective tariff, employ
ment Is plentiful, the rate of pay is
high, and wage earners are in a state
of contentment seldom before seen.
Our transportation systems have been
gradually recovering and have been
able to meet all the requirements of
the service Agriculture has been
very slow in reviving. but the price
of cereals at last indicates that the
day of deliverance is at hand.
We are not without our problems,
but our most important problem is
not to secure new advantages but to
maintain those which we already pos
sess. Our system of government made
up of three separate and Independent
departments. our divided sovereignty
composed of nation and state. the
matchless wisdom that is enshrined
in our Constitution-all these need
constant effort and tireless vigilance
for their protection and support.
Observance of Law.
In a republic the first rule for the
guidance of the citizen is obedience
to law. Under a despotism the law
may be imposed upon the subject. He
has no voice in its making, no infiu-
ence in its administration, it does not
represent him. Under a free govern
ment the citizen makes his own laws.
chooses his own administrators, which
do represent him. Those who want
their rights respected under the Con-
stitution and the law ought to set the
example themselves of observing the
Constitution and the law. While
there may be those of high intelli-
gence who violate the law at times,
the barbarian and the defective al
ways violate It. Those who disregard
the rules of society are not exhibit
ing a superior intelligence, are not
promoting freedom and independence,
are not following the path of civili-
zation, but are displaying the traits
of ignorance, of servitude, of saw
agery, and treading the way that
leads back to the jungle.
The essence Of a republic is repre-
sentative government. Our Congress
represents the people and the States.
In all legislative affairs 1t is the nat
ural collaboration with the President.
In spite of all the criticism which
often falls to its lot, 1 do not hesitate
to say that there is no more inde-
pendent and effective legislative body
in the world. 1t is, and should be,
Jealous Of its prerogative. I welcome
Its cooperation, and expect to share
with 1t not only the responsibility
but the credit for our common effort
to secure beneficial legislation.
These are some of the principles

destiny, we have found it in that di
rection.
