Oldest Oakland in
Three Car ''Stab1e"
Dates Back to 1916

There wouldn't be any used cars
for sale if all automobile buyers
were like William Butter, president
of the Butter Packing Company of
Salina, Kansas
Like a majority of motorists, Mr..
Butter occasionally succumbs to the
lure of bright new car. But there
the resemblance ends; he refuses to
part with his old cars. His stable
new includes three Oaklands which
he has been buying and driving
since back in 1916.
The Oldest of the three cars is a
high-topped touring model which
has been driven far beyond the 1OO,-
900 mile mark. The second was pur-
chased in 1924 shortly after Oakland
had staged a nationwide demonstra-
ton of four-wheel brakes with it's
fleet of "True Blue Travellers" The
speedometer of this car now carries
more than $4,000 miles. The latest
of the trio is an Oakland All-Amer-
lean landaulet sedan which Mr..
Butter has driven only 1900 miles.
The three cars present an in
teresting study in the evolution of
the automobile since 1916. The, prin-
cipal external changes include pro-
gressive reduction in height, wider,
more flaring tenders, and, narrower,
higher radiators. The internal me-
chanical details seldom seen by the
average owner reveal changes fully
as important. Among the develop
ments to be found in the latest Oak
land are the Cross Flow radiator,
thermostatic control of engine tenn
perature, crankcase ventilation, the
G-M-R cylinder head, rubber engine
mountings, fuel pump, Harmonic Bal
ANGER, internal expanding mechanical
brakes and many other features which
have increased the comfort and safe
ty of motoring since 1916.
And the more intimate inside
view" of the cars under the exacting
eye of the modern engineer, who deals
in such measurements as one ten
thOusandth of an inch, suggests a
comparison between the works" of
an alarm clock and those of a finely
built watch.
THAT may all be true" agreed Mr..
Butter, But you can't get away from
the fact that both the old cars are in
excellent shape and are running fine.
Certainly the new Oakland is a bet
ter car but the old ones are still
good. My men and l get a lot of
service out of them. They are worth
more to me than to anyone else, so
why should | turn them in?"

PROFITS FILCHED
By Greedy Directors of Big
Corporation

Washington.-Cor cannot
evade the income tax by voting large
blocks of profits to boards of direc-
tors, according to a ruling by the
United States supreme count. The
suit indicates how profits can be CON
cealed while workers are urged to
buy stock.
The decision was made in the case
of the Botany Worsted Mills, of Pas
sale, n. j., which appealed from the
internal revenue commissioners rul-
ing that the amounts were "unrea-
sonable"
1t was shown that in 1917 the com
pany paid $1,565, ,739 as compensation
to members of its board of directors
in addition to the salary of $4,000
paid to each.
In upholding the government, the
supreme court declared that "the
findings raise a strong inference that
the unusual and extraordinary amount
paid to the directors was not in fact
compensation for their services, but
merely distribution of fixed per-
centage of the net profits that had
no relation to the services rendered. y

STUPID REACTION
REFUSE TO LEARN

Chicago.-The Illinois Manufacture
ers' Association has forwarded a
series of "whereases" to the general
assembly, in which alarm is express
ed at the demands of organized labor.
The eight hour work day for women
is classed as revolutionary and the
demand of labor that private detec-
tive agencies be placed under state
control is considered subversive agi-
tation.
The anti-union shop is classed as
the highest expression of American
individualism, while the yellow dog
and the labor injunction are given un-
stinted praise.
These business men are wrathfu
over the proposal that excessive
profits be taxed for public improve
ments. An old-age pension and
one ay-rest-in-seven proposal are
placed in the verboten list.
The manufacturers express conf
dence that the legislators will upholc
American ideals-as defined by the
manufacturers.

The policies now in force protect

Zone and the Canadian provinces.
With regard to the group insurance
President Noonan states: "Much of
the success of our group department
is due to the superior coverage offer
ed by our group policies, which are
recognized as the best and most lib
eral policies now being issued to la
Dor organizations, there being no re-
strlctlon as to termination of cover
age other than loss of good standing. :"
The company has agents in the
District of Columbia, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Ohio, Minnesota and Alabama,

country desiring insurance or insur-
ance information, service is rendered

INDIANA LABOR
Fights to Pass Bill Knock
ing Out Injunction

Indianapolis, Ind e. L. N. S.)-
The Indiana State Federation of La
Dor is sponsoring an anti-injunction
bill in the present session of the In
diana assembly. One of the provi-
sions of the proposed measure would
invalidate municipal ordinances pro-
hibiting picketing during labor trou
bles. Several Indiana cities have
municipal -picketing ordinances
which have been enforced during la
Dor disputes.
The bill provides that mo restrain
ing order or injunction shall be grant
ed by any court of this state, or by
a judge or the judges thereof, in any
case involving or growing out of a
dispute concerning terms or condi-
tions of employment, enjoining or re-
straining any person or persons,
either singly or in concert, from ter
minating any relation of employment,
or from ceasing to perform any
work or labor, or from recommending
or advising or persuading others to
do so; or from being upon any public
street, or thoroughfare or highway
for the purpose of obtaining or COM
municating information, or to per
suade any person or persons to work
or to abstain from working, or to
employ or cease to employ any party
to a labor dispute, or to recommend
or advise or persuade others so to
do"
Labor leaders over the state, rep
resenting organized labor in general
are marshalling their forces to have
the bill enacted into law and have
hopes of success.

ter ourselves that we live in an era
of progress altogether unparalleled
in history. But from the more dis
tant perspective of a generation that
shall come after us the view may
appear different. Wonder they may,
indeed, at our skill in turning the
powers of nature to our ends. But
Will they not marvel more at the in
credible contrast between our skill
IN doing and in our inaptitude in
choosing what to do?
Day by day, in all our doings, we
employ by proxy the brains of our
betters. And modern, large scale pro-
duction has brought it about that a
relatively few best minds are suffi-
clent to keep the machinery of the
modern community running not only
smoothly, but on the up grade. The
trend IS toward an ever increasing
concentration of the worlds signfi-
cant tasks in the hands and minds
of a few. Why then should we take
thought to improve the proportion of
best minds in our midst? For there
are even now barely enough tasks
for them to do, so Prof. w. B. Pit

lean Mind tells us, indorsing his
message with an entire volume of
more or less convincing evidence"

SUPERllEN ARE NOT NEEDED;
ACF1LNE ERA WANTS ROBOT

New York.-The world needs no
supermen in this age of machinery,
declared DR.. Alfred j. Lotka, super
visor of mathematical research for
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, before the American Associa-
tion of Science.
DR.. Lotka saw the human race at
the crossroads. Taking one fork of
the road would lead to world peo-
pied by robots, stunted in mental
the world for an aristocracy of "best
minds" who would be responsible for
creative functions in the spiritual
sense. By taking the other fork of
the road, he said, the human race
would take advantage of the leisure
gained from mass production in order
to work for the betterment of man
kind.
The speaker declared that the ex-
traordinary ascent of the curve of
human knowledge had left the growth
of human wisdom very far in the
rear, with the result that in the tech
nique of celebrating human conduct
science stands today where it stood
in the Middle Ages.

MINERS AND
EAGLES BACK
PENSION DRIVE

Indianapolis, Ind. U. L. N. 81
A determined effort to put an old
age pension bill through the Indiana
general assembly is under way. A
bill of that nature, revised since the
last session of the Legislature, two
years ago, will be introduced by SEN
ator James j. Nejdl, of Whiting, Ind.
The measure is sponsored by the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles and the United
Mine Workers of America, and is
modelled after the old age pension
laws now effective in six states of
the Union.
Under the provisions of the act per-
sons who have attained the age of 65
years, who have been residents of the
county for Is years and who have in
COME of earning power of less than
S25 a month would be eligible to a
pension administered by the probate
court.
The maximum pension granted any
person would be $25 monthly. Any
applicant for a pension owning prop
erty would be obliged to assign his
or her equity to the county. The
measure is designed as an enabling
act to permit counties to establish
the pension system only after ratifica-
ton by the voters at referendum
election.
Otto p. DeLuse, chairman of the
legislative committee of the Eagles,
said the object of the pension law is
to rid the state of poorhouses, as a
pension system could be operated
more humanely and at less expense to
taxpayers. A similar bill was intro
duced into the last assembly and
passed the house but died in senate
committee.

YEARS
Fight Ends in Convict La
Dor Bill Victory

Washington, d. c. O. L. N. 81
The senate and house have agreed
to the report of the joint conference
on three amendments to the Cooper
Hawes prison labor bill, and the bill
has been sent to the white house for
presidential signature.
One of the amendments exempted
goods, such as mail bags, made in
federal prisons. A second amend
ment made the law effective in five
years instead of three. A third.
which proposed to exempt agricultur-
al products, was eliminated.
Agreement on, the bill by both
houses of congress marks the end of
a 25-year fight by organized labor
for legislation to prevent prison-made
products from coming into competi-
ton with the labor of free men. The
measure enables any state to keep out
goods made in the prisons of other
states.

At the annual meeting of the
board of trustees of the Union CO.
Operative Insurance Association held
January IL at the company's office
in Washington, announcement was
made by President Noonan that the
company doubled the amount of in
surance in force in the year 1928.
making over So millions of insurance
in force at the close of the year.
New insurance issued as of Janu-
ary l, 1929, and since that time, has
already increased the insurance in
force by more than a million dollars
so that the company to date has over
So million dollars of insurance in
force.
The figures of the company show
that it has had a very prosperous
year. The company, which is labor's
first and original old line legal re-
serve life insurance company, started
business November 10, 1924, with a
capital and surplus of $20O,276.22
1t closed 1923 with capital and
surplus of $274,s8930. The total ad-
mitted assets of the company were at
the close of 1923, $430,96375.
At the trustees meeting a divi-
dend of per cent was declared to
stockholders of record January Is,
1929. This is the second year that
the company has paid dividend to
stockholders The dividends to pol
icyholders having participating poll
cies have been paid since 1927, the
first date when such dividends were
permitted according to the terms of
the policies.
President Noonan also made an
nouncement to the trustees, and to
the stockholders at the stockholders
meeting, that the company will move
before February ! to new and more
commodious quarters in the new
building Of the Electrical Workers
Benefit Association, l200 Fifteenth
street, N. W., Washington, D. G.
President Noonan pointed out as
another indication of the size and
development of the company, the
large amount of payments made to
benefciaries during 1923, this amount
being over $400,000.
President Noonan says: "This is a
practical demonstration of the pro-
tective features of legal reserve life
insurance and is vivid illustration
of the statement made very fire.
quently in connection with life insur-
ance-that life is made very much
easier for the widows and children at
a time when they are struggling to
adjust themselves to new and diff.
cult conditions"
