Corporations and Individuals
Where last year corporations paid
slS,O6S, 705.S7 and individuals $15,-
7S1,045.e0, this year the figures We're
pretty nearly equal. Corporations
paid $17.4S7,721.26 to the federal
government. or &5So.ssS.61 less than
they paid las. year. while individuals
paid $16,Ss3.465.Ss. or sl,162.42o.SS
more than they did last year.
The total income taxes for the
country yielded $2.2l9,952,44S.72 or
s45.S79,s40.s3 less than they yielded
in 1927. While income taxes declin-
ed, it is evident that they formed a
larger proportion of the total rev.
enue than last year.
The receipts for 1928 include pay
ments of the third and fourth in
stallments of the tax on returns Of
net income for 1926, and first and
second installments Of the tax on
returns of net income for 1927, to-
gether with additional collections
made for earlier years.

engagements OF France are such
that there can hardly be war any
where in Europe without affecting
French interests. She has military
alliances with Belgium and Poland.
France also has limited alliances
with Rumania and one or two other
Balkan states.
There is the delicate Italo-French
situation Almost anything that one
might say on this subject would be
controverted by competent au-
thori1y in Rome or in Paris. Never
theless, a situation does exist that
gives some concern on this side OF
the frontier. The incidents along the
southern part OF the frontier last
year were viewed as dlsagreeable
hint OF a certain unrest in Italy in
respect to France. The newspapers
OF the two countries engage from
time to time in polemics. and on
both sides is driven the bitter

solni has aroused the patriotic and
racial spirit of the Italians to an
intensity beyond anything seen in
Italy since the unifiCation under
Victor Emmanuel Garibaldi and
Cavour.
The figures for the French army
are less formidable upon analysis
than the total might seem. One
hundred and fifty thousand are ma
tive colonials and irregulars in AL
geria, Tunis and Morocco and To-
500 men enlisted in the Foreign
Legion. Another $4,000 are native
colonials in Senegal, Malagasy and
Indo- China.
The figures for the Italian army,
although not counting the $4,000 in
the colonial garrisons, might be con-
sidered rs including $4,000 armed
customs and frontier guards. The
reserve fascists, highly organized
and spirited, number 250,000 be-
side the 10000 in actual service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The sys-
tenn of buying cars ION time" is the
main reason why the automobile in
dustry has prospered and is now the
leading industry in the country, &C
cording to ]. j. Raskob, chairman of
the finance committee of the Gen
eral Motors Corporation.
1--WE in the industry estimate that
two-thirds of all automobiles pro-
duced are sold on credit through in
stalment payments" says Raskob.
eff this credit we're not available
we would have no motor industry as
we know it today. Today it is the
greatest industry in the world and
can be credited almost wholly with
the prosperity our country and its
people are enjoying.
'"Ten years ago few could foresee
the possibility of 25,O00000 automo-
biles being in use in this country.
And without the sound development
of instalment selling it would have
been impossible.
IF every motor car buyer had
been obliged to accumulate enough
cash to pay the entire purchase
price before beginning to enjoy the
use of his car, doubt If there would
now be even five million cars in use
in this country.
And certainly no such stimula-
ton Of the country's prosperity as
has resulted from the growth of the
automobile industry coul have been
possible"

green right-of-way signal.
The horn or siren, set at a definite
pitch, gives a determined number
of vibrations. The receiver, Sensi-
tive only to these vibrations, will
not act when a noise of any other
vibration is sounded.
Four receivers are used on princi-
pal intersections so that official cars
driving in any direction will have
the advantage of an open road. In
case two cars are travelling in diff
ferent directions the one which
sounds its horn first gets the ad-
vantage of the green light while
the other is forced to obey the red
stop light, eliminating the danger
of a collision.

Tail Light
BY SWEDE SWANSON

CEILING arguments used by auto
~ mobile manufacturers in popu-
larizing their new products often are
tips to motorists who want to get
better results from their cars.
Take the situation with brakes,
for instance. One Of the strongest
points in favor of the inclosed in
ternal expanding brake is that it
can be set with as much as one
eighth Of an inch clearance.
When the brakes are off they are
actually disengaged in such way
that they do not touch the drums.
Actual tests show that with brakes
actually off, a car will coast sur
prisingly long distance. One trouble
with most car owners is that they set
their external contracting brakes so
close that it requires but little dirt
between bands and drums to make
the former drag.
If you feel you must have the
brakes close at least keep the dirt
out by frequent washing.
Starting a car that has been
standing out in the open often be-
comes a serious job because the
driver does not know for sure
whether he's helping or hindering
the process.
He chokes and opens the throttle
wider when perhaps he should be
giving the engine less gas. Or he
may not be choking enough.
Undecided, he founders along and
gets by as best he can. But there
is simple rule to follow if he wants
to simplify the job.
If the engine sputters, runs a lit
tie and then dies out with one of
those sickening sounds that mean
another period Of cranking with
battery that is nearing the end of
its rope, just look behind and note
whether there is smoke from the ex-
haust. If so, the engine is getting
too much gas and the next attempt
at starting it should be with the
choke not used.
Nlnety-three motor coach lines in

miles, carrying 83,OOO,OOO passengers.

Russell Conwell, in his biography of John Wana-
maker, explains that great Americans business
success in one paragraph
Because he thought of the people first, of their
needs of how he could serve them most helpfully
economically, honestly, and of profit last, they
thought of him first when shopping was to be done,
and the business grew"
The growth of the Standard Oil Company
CIndiana) has been closely parallel case. This
Company has put service first and profits last. The
needs of the people of the Middle West have been
its chief concern. 1t has thought constantly of how
it could serve them most helpfulIy honestly and
economically.
They in turn have thought first of this Company
when in need of petroleum products. More and
more they have come to depend upon it. Thus it
has grown and is growing.
The Standard Oil Company (ndiara) has
proved, as Mr.. Wanamaker proved, that successful
business is built on a basis of mutual benefits
benefit to the owners of the business-and benefit
to the public.
Mr.. Wanamaker made money. The Standard
Oil Company Qndana) makes money. But in both
cases money making represents the smallest part of
the achievement.
Service-reaching to all people and all places in
the Middle West-the same service for ALL whoever
they are, wherever they ive-service that never
fails from day to day and from week to week and
from year to year-servce that is expanded to
meet expanded needs, improved with improved
knowledge-that sort of service is the aim and the
achievement of the Standard Oil Company (In-
dana).
Whether you live in the heart of Chicago or
spend your days on far-away farm, if you are in
the Middle West, all the resources of this Company
are at your service
Scientists are at work in its laboratories for you
Engineers and mechanical experts are investigating
and testing. Men are drilling wells and driving
tank wagons and working in offices. Directors are
managing and planning.
Twenty-Five thousand men and women are
working at their various tasks, employing the
capital of $1,000 stockholders, with one purpose
to make the best products from petroleum it is
possible to make and to bring them to you where
you need them a price which is fair and
equitable.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) stands
first in the hearts of the people of the Middle West
because this Company has proved by its far
reaching unfaiing service that their needs are it's
first concern.
