FORD WORKERS
BUY IN FIRM

More than one-fiftl of the en-
ployes of the Ford Motor Com
pany are silent partners" in that
vast enterprise to the extent that
they are investors in a fund on
which the company has for many
years guaranteed a minimum re-
turn.
While from the beginning, the
promised minimum return has
been s per cent, there has been
only one year-in 1928-when the
payment did not exceed that min
imum, and on November 80 last
the employees of the company had
invested in the fund the huge
sum of $19,944, 1851.
The investment fund plan was
conceived by Henri Ford as an
opportunity for wage-earners to
place their savings in the concern
with whose policies, workings and
future they are, by reason OF their
close association, most familiar.
1t inspires on the part of indl.
vidual workers a real interest and
pride in the business because that
is where the invested fund goes
back into the business.

THEORY
EXPLAINED

How the motorcycle officer
looks at speed violations of the
motorist is Interestingly revealed
IN a back.stage glimpse of traffic
regulation afforded by the Traffic
Officers Training Manual, which
is being used as a standard work
in an increasing number of cities.
Two views exist in regard to
speed regulation, the book states.
One involves the prima facie
speed law, having a legal limit
but permitting the motorist to ex-
ceed the limit if he can prove
he is doing so safely.
The other depends upon the
clear space ahead of the speeding
car.
In any event. says the author,
Clarence P. Taylor. the officer
trailing a car must be sure he is
keeping the same rate of speed
and should allow the motorist five
miles an hour in excess Of the
legal limit, to allow for error and
speedometer exaggeration. Speed
ometers almost invariably show a
speed higher than the actual
fact.
Officers are cautioned to watch
for cars going so slowly as to
block traffic, and to draw them
off to one side. The proper ap-
proach to man stopped for
speeding is for the officer to say:
81 am very sorry. but you
were driving IS miles an hour
and I shall have to give you a
summons"
The book was edited by DR..
Miller McClintock. director of the
Albert Russell Erskine Bureau for
Street Traffic Research. in Har-
ward University, of which the
author is a sometime fellow.

When Starting Car

A good habit for any motorist
to develop is that of watching
the instruments. particularly in
starting. Three especially de.
serve watching.
They are the oil guage, am
meter, and gasoline gauge. The
second not only shows that the
generator is working but, if the
car happens to have a belt drive,
whether the water pump and

"The American market is not only supplied, but absorbed by the workers of America. CON- SEQENTLY THE CAMPAIGN STARTED BY NEW YORK BANKERS TO DRIVE DOWN WAGES IS A DEADLY ATTACK UPON THE WELFARE OF THE NATION.
 ."It is dastardly in its selfish ness, and stupid in its short sightedness. Because dividends have been reduced, these bank CTS would kill the productive system.
 Because the goose is not lay ing as many golden eggs as us- ual, they would kill the goose. Al one stroke they would diminish the consumption of products that now sustains all industries by ,depriving the consumers ef their wages. A fine method Ol returning dividends"

ONE OF OUR TROUBLES

One of the factors which con- tributes to the problems of
 ka is the government dictation by the Fifth Division Men who live in Alaska during the Smil- ing days of summer; men who live amongst us for a.. few brief months, arrive with the Seattle complex and immediately enter into territorial affairs. They see things from their own ignor- ant angle and bend their efforts to secure their own ends. When they tire of the Territory, they pack their suit cases and steam 1T trunks leaving troubles and complexities behind. .....
 The recent legislature has added to the problem now by passage of the absentee voting law. Under this law, the great tribe which comes to Alaska in the spring and leaves in the fall, may cast their vote in Alaska while they maintain residence and vote in the states. Political hybrids, neither Alaskans nor Washingtonians, yet they pre- tend to be one or the other and thus misrule the Territory.

If wages are cut, all industry will be hurt and the employers will be hurt along with the workers, A. c. Dorrance, presi. dent of the Campbell Soup Com pany, a large labor employer '?ld the Camden, N. J., Cham OCT of Commerce.
 He tore into employers who are advocating wage reductions as "short-Sighted, blind to theil cWn interests"
 Wage earners. consume. 6e per cent of all they produce and are our best market. Every dol lar taken from their wages is a collar less of cOnsumptive capac- lty," DOrrance said. .t. ats
 He predicted that next winter we will have unemployment and asserted "our job is not yet done in taking care of those who want to work but can find no work"
 We pass the above, taken from LABOR, on to the good members of the local and All-Alaska Chambers of Commerce for their serious consideration. .@
 For the past ten years the h. dians of the Territory have. had to cinch up on their belts and to live on clans, "gumboots, D and other native foods. They have had their belts cinched up even past the last notch. Now, this same system which controls the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, controls the markets and pro- duction. The white fishermen and residents who have idled by whilst the Indians fought their battles will commence cinching up on their belts. The business men will begin to cinch up on their belts. No dividends will be declared by the Alaska business men, but the SYSTEM will con- tinue to make their profits.

will only need to call the FL Centre

something appetizing, or if mother

AUBURN


Wherever automotive men are
gathered together this year, sooner
or later, one is certain to hear some
thing to this effect: Did you notice
how Auburn is going? Those boys
certainly are doing job
An actor relisheS praise from
within his own profession more
keenly even than the plaudits of the
multitude. A doctor preens himself
when his co-carvers speak of him
as a wizard of the knife or an intu-
tive diagnostician. A great lawyer
usully reaches his greatest heights
of elouuence when he is addressing
his fellow legalists. If this intro
professional pride reaches into the
automotive industry, E. L. Cord and
Roy Faulkner have abundant cause
for satisfaction in the effect that
their 1881 achievement is having on
members great and small of their
craft.
In a subnormal year, when busi-
ness is moving sideways along the
bottom of the longest period OF de-
preston that we have known in two
generations, Auburn has more than
doubled its sales volume of last year
and is far ahead OF the best previous
year in its history.
| Gratifying as this condition must
be to the heads of the Auburn Or
ganization, it must be still more sat
isfactory for these gentlemen to
realize that the achievement has
been made possible by their effort
to produce a car that could force
sales at a time when buyers are re-
luctant to spend anything.
1t is not too much to say that Au
burn has given the automotive in
dustry one of the outstanding
achievements of this drab year. II
this company continues to the enc
of 1881 as it has begun, its totaI
output will be in excess of 5000f
vehicle units. Such a conSumma.
ton would lift Auburn from the
ranks of the small, though sound
independents TO a position as ont
of the organization that are inn
portant judged solely on the volume
OF output. At any rate the Auto
