Mr. and Mrs. r. L. Sewell, daugh-
ter Coralane and son, David, left
Saturday on a vacation trip, Don
Moore riding with them as far as
Santa Fe. The Sewell family will
go on to Niles, Michigan, for II
visit with Mrs. Sewel's father
there, then on to Dayton, Ohio, to
visit Mr.. Sewell's parents, and plan
to return here about July 1st
Mr.. and Mrs. d. S. Davis, active
and in fine condition to enjoy life,
are doing just that. They retired
from active business and are in
position to do what they like to
do. If everyone could do that,
there would be no trouble in the
world They left this week for a
months visit with friends and rela-
tions at their o,d home in Kansas,
and will return here in time to
take in the Lions Convention at
Oakland, California. 1t is a safe
bet that they get more enjoyment
out of life now than if they had
kept on grubbing for more dollars.

BIC Three join
TO BREAK jam.
IN USED AUTOS.
Ford, Knudsen, Keller
Act to End Depression

DETROIT, March 1 Q,N.SO.
Edsel Ford, William S. Knudsen
and K. T. Keller today threw the
weight of the motor industry's
big Three" behind the $1,250,000
advertising campaign to end the
business recession by breaking the
jam of used cars in the stocks OF
dealers.
In simultaneous statements
the first ever issued jointly by
leaders of the Ford Motor Com
pany, General Motors Corporation
and Chrysler Corporation-the
three men pledged support Of their
organizations to the drive and eX-
pressed the belief that a revival of
automobile production through a
stimulated market would bring
general business revival to the
nation.
INDUSTRY PRAISED
Ford spoke of the industry as a
whole. saying:
The one great contribution
the automobile industry made
to the nation in its efforts to
throw off the last depression was
its demonstration of courage in
. the face of adversely. That
same fearlesSneSS is evident to-
day as a united industry moves
forward to start the wheels
rolling again."
Knudsen, head of the gigantic
General Motors Corpor ion,
stressed the added highway safety
that will come with the junking
of mechanically imperfect cars.
He said:
Spring is almost here, and
the cars that have been laid up
during the winter because of
poor condition are now ready
to be traded. The industry
wants to get these cars. 1t wants
to furnish transportation at low
cost and replace inefficient
units in way that will make
the purchasers satisfied and
able to cover the road"
EMPHASIZES VALUE
Keller, president of Chrysler
Corporation, emphasized the car
values of the present used-car
market, saying:
Both engineering advances
and improvements in manufac-
turing methods in recent years
have resulted in giving far more
strength and safety and longer
life to automobiles than the
original owner will ever use.
"The cars produced during
this period have been designed
deliberately not only for the
first owner, but the possible
second, third and fourth owners.
Thus, from the standpoint
Of intrinsic value, Chrysler Cor
poration believes used cars of
relatively low mileage are bet
ter automobiles than people
generally realize"

representation continues to exist under

Some Of these Americans. trying
hard to find Justification for fragrant
violation of democratic principles. say
that the reason Vashingtonians do
not vote is because they pay no taxes.
The false idea that Washingtonians
pay no taxes. but are supported by
the Government. Is one Of the most
persistent and widespread of Ameri-
can delusions.
We do pay taxes. AS I have said
before. we pay more in national taxes
than any one of % of the States, and
more than 8 States combined.
In local taxes our tax burden ranks
with the tax burden of cities that are
comparable in size, internal condition
and conditions Of environment. When
there are left out Of consideration
the items Of municipal taxes repre-
senting interest payments on bonded
indebtedness and State taxes, our local
tax burden ranks among the highest
in the country. And the reason We
contend that such items should be
eliminated from comparison is that
We enjoy hardly any Of the benefits
Of statehood for which State taxes
are levied, nor do we enjoy the bene-
fits or suffer the penalties of bonded
Indebtedness.
Nearly 90 per cent Of the local
budget is now financed through local
taxation. The approximate 10 per
cent payment by the United States to
the District budget is small indeed

other American citizens.
The Districts population Is not only
strong in itself but its strength Is
multiplied by the support Of afhliated

cations.
These groups Of women, organized
labor, veterans, patriotic and civilian
societies and clubs Of the District with

shameful political isolation OF the

This evil Of un-Americanism at the

seat Of government.
You cannot tax the Government
though, first, we furnish the Govern
ment and thousands OF Government
employees who live here. but maintain
voting residence elsewhere. police and
fire protection. schools and all the
varied municipal services on Govern
ment property. and, second. we sup
port the highly expensive requirements
in the upbuilding Of q National Capital
worthy Of the great Republic.
Money which local taxpayers would
prefer to spend for the direct benefit
Of themselves and their children,
money for schools, for public health,
for adequate police protection and for
public welfare, is diverted into chan
nels representing needs Of the Nation
itself in the Nations city rather than
Of the local community. But we have
nothing whatever to say about how
our tax money is going to be spent.
Previous cases OF forgetfulness can
be explained and perhaps pardoned,
but there Is no defense Of continued
forgetfulness when the fact Of neglect
is exposed and when worthiness Of
consideration Of the forgotten man
and woman Is demonstrated. The
census Of 1880 first showed that the
District population had reached fig
ure which under the current census
apportionment unquestionably entitled
the District to one Representative
in the House. Today's population OF

(estimated) 5000 of voting age, with
(estimated) $4,000 Of voting age after
deducting greatly overestimated
number Of those entitled to vote in
the States, q population unsurpassed
in intelligence, literacy, public spirit,
and national and civic loyalty de-
mands that it receive recognition and
be admitted to representation in its
Government.
Two Joint Resolutions.
How can this be accomplished?
What do we want? Pending In House
and Senate are two joint resolutions
proposing that the Constitution be
amended specifically in q way that
will empower Congress to grant to
the people Of the District voting repre-
sentation in the House and Senate. in
the choice OF President and effective
participation in their local govern
mont, and giving them equal status
with citizens of the States and aliens
in access to the Federal courts.
During this week the House Com
mittee on Judiciary will hold hearings
for the consideration Of these resolu-
tions. It Is our hope that the hearings
will result In as strong a report and
recommendation for adoption as that
which followed hearings in 1922 on q
resolution for similar constitutional
amendment, and that we shall be able
to count upon the support Of you, in

A few hours later John was taking his freight train out of Long Island

PLAN "a DEMONSTRATION
NURSERIES IN N

Twenty = four demonstration
nurseries will be established in
cooperation with the Montana
Extension service in 10 Mon
tana counties this spring for the
purpose of acquainting farmers
and ranchers with different
types of grasses, according to
L. P. Reitz of the federal bureau

forage crops and diseases.
These nurseries, Reitz said,
will be used by the county ex-
tension agents to acquaint
themselves and farmers in their
counties with the different
grasses and at the same time
get some indication of the adj
agitation of different species to
local conditions. The demon
stration plots will also be use-
full in carrying out range i'm
provement and erosion control
work in connection with the
AAA programs.
Five of the 10 county agents
have asked for seed to S in
planting contour pasture fur
rows on depleted range and on
abandoned crop land. From 8
to II species of grass have
been supplied for each of these
tests and each species will be
seeded on 1000 feet of contour
