decision of the delegate body, represent
ing the car owners of the Nation, will
depend the character of the recon-
mendation coming out Of the conven-
ton.
"It is true that motordom has won a
great victory In the final elimination OF
the Federal war excise tax in the last
session of Congress. However, the bur-
den of special State and municipal taxes
on the motorists is being constantly
pyramided, and it is crystal clear that
there must be developed set of fiscal
principles to govern in a national way,
as far as possible, the incidence OF mo-
tor vehicle taxation.
Need Safety Program.
There is reason to believe that a
large number of people today are taking
highway accidents and fatalities for
granted, and yet this problem of street
and highway safety is perhaps the most
serious that confronts the American
people today. 1 expect our convention
to go further in the development of a
national safety program than anything
that has been done heretofore.
Federal participation in the building
of interstate highways is now assured
through the year 1881. ana the compile
ton of the original Federal-aid system
can be confidently looked forward to.
But our car manufacturers and our car
owners are crowding our road builders.
Congestion is increasing at greater
rate than our roads are expanding. with
the result that the Nation may in the
near future be compelled to take coun-
sci regarding the expansion of our high
way program. taking care to avoid get
ting entangled in the many road
schemes sponsored and agitated today
by private interests and by irresponsi-
BILE commercial organizations which
would destroy the free principle on
which the present road system of the
country was builded."
Henry stressed the peculiar difficult
ties inherent in road building in the
public land States of the West and de-
plored the presidential veto of the Col

EMPLOYER FAIR,
SAYS FORMER
CASH BOY
BY R. c. FORBES

An ex-office boy Of very mod.
crate education, who has climbed
in. 20 years of Industrial effort to
the $1O,0O0-a-year class sends his
reply to the question recently
raised here: DO employers pay
fair?"
Is it not important both to
employers. and employees that
sound, sensible ideas should exist
on a subject of such widespread
interest and basic importance?
The answer sent by George A..
Lilly. now holding an executive
position in Detroit, follows:
Do employers play fair? Are
most of them ready to recognize
and encourage talent? would
answer. Yes and after you read
my reasons / believe you will be
inclined to feel that they. do.
Cites His Record
II am an executive In the $10.-
600 class, Al years OF age. with 20
years of hard work behind me.
Possibly some might say that 1
have not progressed as fast as /
might have, but | am inclined to
believe that one who has gone
through all ] have. and can point
to a fairly responsible executive
position with such compensation.
has proceeded fairly well along
the road of accomplishment.
Starting at the age of II. just
% years ago, as a cash boy in q
Kansas City dry goods store, I
progressed through the jobs NOf
wagon boy, then office boy, head
office boy and order clerk In two
of Kansas City's large packing
houses. eight and one-half years
In a large house furnishing con-
Germ, and then from there in 1917
on to the present time in sue.
cessiOn Of locations both as an
office man and in the selling line.
In all of these years have
found that the employer is i'm
clined to be fair, but on ac-
count OF the attitude OF the EN-.
ploye he is constantly on the de-
fensive. ! am exceedingly CRATE
full for the fact that there is one
thing left out OF my disposition,
and that is envy.
Has Two AxiOms
There are two axioms which I
learned early in life. One is the
man who never does any more
than he gets paid for. never gets
paid for any more than he does,
and the second one is, don't
antagonize the boss
Having been a student of his
tory. ] have had always in mind
the goal of accomplishing some.
thing in whatever my line Of en-
deavor might be that would, lii a
way. measure up to the accom-
plishment of some of those real
men who, in face of adversely of
every type, made success In life.
Il cannot agree that an en-
ployer wiIIfully hampers the ad-
vancement OF an employee. Give
him the benefit of the doubt. and
/ believe the conclusion will be
that the sooner all are willing
to cooperate and make things
just as good as possible, that
everybody's condition will i'm.
prove.
Does that strike you as com
mon sense?

Demand Grows
In response to the growing
public demand for airplanes,
Lawrance revealed, in discussing
the outlook for the industry with
me at the Yale Club. 1--WE are
greatly increasing our productive
facilities ait Paterson, N. J. We.
shall have five times as much
floor space as we had d year agos
and shall introduce the most mod.

BY our recent stock offering, win
when completed enable ua 70 pro-

BY the latter part OF 1929 be-
Heve that we win be producing

Gold Rash Stage
Lawrance, who himself per
fected the air-cooIed motor
which was used ID the epic
y transatlantic flights and which
principle has now been generally
accepted BY the industry, was
asked whether the expected ex-
pansion III production and sales
