The De Soto Six
 Sets New Record

During the past twelve months, the De Soto Six has broken all ex- isting sales records for any first year car in the entire history of ahe automobile industry.
 The statement was authorized to- day by l.. G. Peed, general sales manager of the De Soto Motor Cor poration, at Detroit
 Riding on the crest of a wave of popularity that began when it was first introduced, De Soto completed it's first year with sales of more than S0,000 cars-a new world 5 record for a first-year car.
 ''The actual figures show f
 065 De Soto Sizes had been shipped from the plant since Augu., Y, year." Mir. Peed declared. "All previous records for first-year cars regardless of class or price, have been broken by De Soto, evidence of the enthuiastic manner in which the new car has been accepted by the automobile buying public.
 This first year has been a year of achievement. When it is taken into consideration that three months before the first De Soto Six appear. ed, no dealer organization had been recruited to merchandise the new car, the De Soto Six record is re- markable. Every effort consistent with Chrysler Motors high standard of manufacturing practice, was made to increase production and

this policy, the factory recently re- ceived many inquiries regarding its plans for the remainder of the year.
 No changes are needed" MT. Tracy explained. "The sustained demand for these cars offers the best proof that they continue to lead their respective fields in appearance, engineering and performance.
 Model changes invariably are made to keep cars abreast of the popular demand for style and per- formance. It will be remembered that the present Oakland All-Ameri- can Six was not introduced in mid summer but in November of last year. The new Pontiac Big Six fol- lowed last January. Many revolu- tionary advances gave these cars such a distinct identity and placed them so far ahead of current prac- tice that they are as new today as when they first entered the market.

all work done may be salvaged in future work.
 In building roads now. James as serted, it is wise to keep in mind the future and construct them in such a manner that future improve ments will not be costly and ex- penses held down to minimum. Survey of roads constructed in the past has often brought about needed improvements, change in loca- ton, and so on.
 Studies of highway systems made in the United States during the past three years,' James says, "clearly demonstrate the value of such work even at late date. But obviously the earlier in the high way history of a country such studies are made the greater good will flow from them.
 Roads should be built only to the extent and of such types as will pay for themselves"

the country were operating on the biggest summer production schedule in the history of Chevrolet.
 Never in the history of the indus try has any other manufac cturer equalled the achievement of placing a million six cylinder cars on the road in les than eight months. In fact, according to observers, this is more than three times as many six cylinder cars as were ever produced by a manufacturer during a lika period.
 The record-making model, prob ably the most famous of all Chev. rolet record cars, rolled off the as. sembly line at the huge Flint, Mich, plant of August 5. It happened to be a sedan-the new Imperial Se- dan, introduced few weeks ago. The glistening record breaker was welcomed at the end of the assem- ply line by w. S. Knudsen, president, and other high Chevrolet officials.
 Without any ceremony the car left the plant for Detroit where it was presented as one of the interesting exhibits that was a part of the man. moth Chevrolet sales convention in Detroit, August 14-15,16. The en- tire Chevrolet sales supervisory force of nearly 2,000 men were on hand for the biggest convention of it's kind ever held by the company.
 It is also significant to note, from automobile registrations, that since January l, 1927, the Chevrolet Mo- tor Company has built and produced to date more automobiles than any other manufacturer in the world. Also, Chevrolet sales for the first time in the history of the company were greater in July than they were in June, which still further empha- sis the constantly increasing popu- larity of the new six cylinder car.

CHEAP HIGHWAYS
 ARE MOST COSTLY
Poor Roads More Expensive in
 End Than We'll Built Ones

Washington, D. C. Aug 19-Cheap roads constructed with low-grade material and with an eye to saving labor expenses are more costly in the long run than first class roads of the U. s. Bureau of Public Roads.
 Poor roads," he says, cost more than do adequately serviceab ble roads. Roads built with honest ad" ministration and skilled technique have an earning capacity far be- yond their cost. So the serviceable public highway has every right to be listed as an asset and not as an expense. It has already been dem- onstrated that a highway can earn it's upkeep plus a very high profit on the investment
 Road tolls collected in the form of motor vehicle license fees and gas taxes in the United States amount to very large percentage of the annual highway bill. without excessive cost to the individual user. The very fact of relatively low taxes has encouraged the enor- nous use of the roads by so large a number of the public. This ac- counts for the high income from the roads in actual financial re- turns. It proves the value of good highways"
 F.. w. James, chief of the bu- reaus division of design, advises three steps in constructing roads that will be of good quality and still keep expenses to a minimum. They are:
 1. Select the right roads to be improved.
 ? Determine the correct types to build at any time.
 3. Build progressively but so that

 "One dissatisfied owner can cause more harm to an organization Of any kind than a hundred satisfied own CTS can mend" he has told Nash dis tributors, dealers, and their work ing forces during scores of personal inspection trips.

"THE FIFTH DIVISION

SarcaStically speaking of the Senate Representative Donnelly declared in the last session of the legislature that he was glad he was a member of the House rather than of the Senate. While it was generally consid- cred more of an honor to be a Senator still he was delighted that he was a representative because the Senate was under the domination of the Fifth Division" instead of Alaska.
 The Fifth Division is general ly recognized as being the Seat tie and San Francisco head quarters of the canning asso- citations and the holing up place of the bureaucrats. In direct denial of Donnelly's state ment is the record of the Sen- ate as compared to the House.

SEATTLE HAD ITS
 OWN TROUBLE Es

Tho Seattle is a couple or three times large than Peters burg and has much more abil.- ity and talent to draw on, it evidently had somewhat of the troubles of the previous coun- Gil to the present one sitting since election. We quote the following from the Seattle Star of recent date:
 Think And Act, Gentlemen!
 The main trouble with Seat ties city council is Onat its members are afraid to make de- cisions. They shuttle and de- lay and dill-dally along. Ap- parently they have no minds o1 their own; or, ii they have, they are afraid to speak them.
 At least a dozen questions have been before the council for weeks. Again and again. a decision has been put otI. Sometimes the councilmen have pleaded lack of know ledge" of something everyone else has known for months. The daylight saving plan is a case in point. Every Iiterata American has known of the plan for years and formed a decision concerning it. But the council, apparently, has just heard of it-and wants to take time to study it.
 The taxi muddle is another case in point. And there are dozens of similar questions. Some of them have been hang ing fire for months and are stin unanswered. Similar haphaz ard methods in any business would bankrupt the stockhold ' ers.
 The council isn't hired to know nothing; it's hired to show common sense and do something-and it ought to get busy:

WHAT IS WRONG WITH
 THE DEMOCRATS

An editorial in the Seattle P. l. says;
 "The reason the Democratic Party is not elected to office is because 1t does not deserve to be.
 It is a party of mere oppor- tunism, and not even intelligent opportunism.
 *** It would seem that the experiences of the last decade should have shown the Demo cratic Party the utter folly of such a course, but the Demo cratic Party seems to have no intelligent leadership capable of being taught and no chart of Democratic principles upon which to proceed. It is in the contemptible posi- tion of being a party of opposi- tion merely for the sake of op- position.
 In other words, the Republi- can Party decides the policy of the Democratic Party. If the Republican Party fa- vors anything, the Democratic Party stupidly opposes it; if the Republican Party opposes anything, the Democratic Party blindly favors it.
 Of course, such an unwise course creates no Democrats, inspires no following for the Democratic leaders, if those who unfortunately in the Demo cratic councils can be called leaders.
 And as a consequence, the Democratic Party has lost state after state until 1t hardly fig ures as a national party at all. There is a great opportunity for leadership in the Demo cratic Party, and a great neces- sity for leadership. There is a great necessity for a Democratic program built on
 fundamental Democratic prin-
 ciples, and without these things
 the Democratic Party can never
 succeed.
 The situation is discour-
 aging to all genuine Democrats (Ed. Note: there must b, Isome spurious democrats thru
 out the country).
 It gives ample explanation
 and ample reason for the fac
 that so many Democrats il principle vote the Republican ticket.
 There is no Democratic Part, no party that is a DEMO CRATIC Party in principle, an,
The Alaskan., 1929-05-17
no party which genuine Demo-

no party which genuine Demo- crats can vote for"
 Evidently the editor of the Post-Intelligencer has had a very closeup view of the work ings of the Democratic Party in Alaska-or else that party is so counterfeit and spurious throughout the country that it is time it were buried.
