Daily papers testify that
damages now awarded to peo-

so severe that motor car owners
are increasing their own Public

The cost of additional protec-

There are more political discus

One of the topics which has been dis

relative worth of government officials
who force their appointment on the

Several instances have been report

by the President has been revised and

their political rather than their men

dirigible expedition across the North
Pole three years ago, headed by Road
Amundsen, has just published a
work which he calls, "Air Pioneering

Amundsen, the heroic Morse explorer
who, it is generally assumed, died in
the Arctic regions last year while on
an expedition to bring relief to Gen.

illustrations which are said to be the
most artistic ever made in the United

Used Cars Go Strong
AS "Chev" Dealers Work

What is believed to be new record
for the sale of used cars in the Unit
ed States was established in May
when the nationwide Chevrolet deal
er organization sold 1877 ,624 used cars
This was in addition to the record
volume of new car business which
also scared to a new level during the
month.
In commenting on the achievement
Chevrolet factory officials point out
that it was made possible through the
tremendous amount of public conf
dence that has been built up by Chew
rolet dealers through the general
policy of offering for sale only de-
pendable merchandise. They explain
that through the widespread use of
the red tag with an o. X. that
counts" prospective used car buyers
can be assured that every vital part
of the car has been properly recondi-
toned and put in shape to offer thou
sands of miles of unused tranSpOrta-
ton.
Compared with the corresponding
month of year ago, when 11S,195
used cars were sold, the May, 1929,
total showed a gain of more than 33
per cent. 1t also outstripped the
April, 1929, record of 133,SS7 used
cars.
In accomplishing this feat, the
Chevrolet dealer organization sold an
average of 6,063 used cars a day dur

ity of maintaining fricnd'y relations
with foreign nations and the protcc-
tiOn of American trade abroad, is CIV
ing this subject close scrutiny. The
consumption of American goods in
other lands absorbs large portion of
the output of our factories and mines.
The threat of retalitory tariffs in the
event the American Congress adds to
the present tariff wall is worthy of
more consideration than is conceded
br Congress. 1t is reported that Mr.
Hoover, who spent the past eight
years of his career in promoting the
consumption of American goods
abroad, may exercise the veto on any
tariff bill that would wreck our for
eign trade. The Administration is not
exercised over the unfavorable trade
balance now reported for the first
time since April, 1925. That the i'm
ports exceed our exports is due to
heavy shipments from overseas in or
der to avoid threatening tariff in
creases and our exports have fallen

With the new census authorized
those in charge of the survey admit
they will have real difficulties. One
of the problems is to avoid scandals
incident to sectional jealousies in
which the official census plays an inn
portant part. Boosters organizations
may make generous claims for their
communities, but the government CEN
sus returns sometimes tell different
story. 1t has been recalled that dur
ing previous census some years ago
some of the abuses included listing
the names on tombstones and transit
ent guests recorded at local hotels as
part of the local population.

Washington Ticker
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Some Of the best-infcrmed men in
Washington, in and out Of ofhcial life,
are positive now in holding the opinion
that the Federal Reserve rediscount
rates at New York and Chicago will not
be raised. This is in spite Of the pub
LEGATION of Reserve Board statements
dealing with the subject clearly outlin-
ing that majority banking opinion in
clines toward the marking up of the S
per cent figure that now prevails.
Unless brokers' loan figures rise sub
stantially, the reasoning runs, the Re-
serve Board will not have a majority
within its membership for voting in
creases that have been sought by the
group OF larger reserve banks. The ad-
ministrative elements of the board are
credit i with feeling that national re-
sponsibility, under the conditions, calls
for treating the credit situation without
using the reserve rate lever.
Hearty support for the attack against
the flexible tariff provisions instituted
in the House recently by Representative
Beck. Republican, Pennsylvania, is in
dicated in American Tariff League
i quarters. Joseph r. Grundy, Washing
| ton representative of that body, points
| out that the whole scheme of allowing
the President to vary tariff rates up and
DOWN 10 meet changing economic con-
ditions was originally opposed by the
organization. though 1t is now part of
the present law.
Mr.. Beck has 100 per cent support
from most American manufacturing in
terests when he objects to Congress
delegating that power" Mr.. Grundy
said. I'VE regard 1t as a dangerous
| thing for the legislative body to sur
| render any portion Of its taxing power"
One of the next Interstate Commerce
Commission investigations of general
interest is now expected to relate to the
corporations are rising to control of
American railroads. While the most
widely known instance of the trend is
the creation of the Allegheny Corpo-
ration by o. P. and NJ J. Van Swerin-
gen of Cleveland, for the purpose of ac-
quiring large blocks of stock in a group
Of carriers they have operated, the
same device to an important extent
has been adopted by the Pennsylvania
system, and by other rail interests.
In its last annual report, the COM
mission indicated that the corporation
device was presenting some difficulties
for its application of complete railroad
control. Neither the accounting nor the
conduct of the holding corporations has
so far been brought under official sur
