The Fords Tell Their Plans


IF WE KNEW anything better we could do for
i the country than make good motor cars, we
would do it.
By every one doing his best in the job he
thinks most useful, this country is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best in
our job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov.
cry more than year ago, we determined that we
should keep going anyway, if not at full.volume
motor car production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help future
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build 81 million dollars worth of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
we would employ as many as we could building
better production facilities.
We were told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that wiser business policy would
be to "hold everything" MEANS stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
this country has its best days. We believe this
country yet in the infancy of its growth. We be-
lieve that every atom of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified by
the future. We believe America is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But shall see it! That is the assurance in
which we have built.
Business is not just coming back. 1t will have
to be brought back. That is now becoming we'll
understood in this country; for that reason 1889
will be cooperative year. Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will cooperate to bring back the bust
ness that is waiting to be brought back.
This construction program is almost completed.
1t has increased activity and payrolls in number
of related industries. 1t has given better faci.
tiles for building better cars and trucks, and
eventually our tractor which is being perfected.
THIS MEANS MORE VALUE
The current program has provided new tire
plant, which will turn out part of tire require
ments :. new tool and die plant that will help
us cut the cost of dies and steel-press plant
that will enable us to make more of our own auto
mobile bodies. These are in addition to the plants
we already had for producing glass, iron, steel,
plastics, and many other things.
We don't supply all our own needs, of course,
and never expect to: The Ford engine is one thing

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

The political campaign in Mime
sofa now drawing to close has been
in many ways one of the most I'M
usual ever conducted in this or any
other state.
Issues, in the real sense of the word,
have meant virtually nothing, prin-
cipally, if not entirely, because of the
attitude of the Republican candidate
for Governor.
From the very outset the Republic
cans departed" from their party prin-
ciples and the things they have al
ways stood for. Their candidate for
Governor stated that the past record
of his party is not an issue and the
only thing which is an issue is the
future program. And their future
program is largely an adherence to
Farmer-Labor principles and every
thing which the Republican party has
combatted for years.
In other words, the Republicans
have said in effect: "We no longer
believe in the things the Republican
party throughout its history has stood
for. We have been converted to the
principles of the Farmer-Labor party.
Now will you please put us in office
so that we, instead of the Farmer
Laborites, can put these things into
effect" Many of these things the lib
erals put into effect already over Bit
ter Republican opposition. The ira
ditional enemies of progress asked
the voters to make them the GUS
todians of progress.
A typical example has been the Re-
publican candidates campaign in ia
vor of a state labor relations act In
the last legislature it will be recalled
such an act was passed by the liberal
house on recommendation of the
Farmer-Labor administration, but the
Republican-controlled Senate killed
the bill. Forget it, says the Repub-
lican candidate
This new line of the Republican
party is a national as well as state
line. 1t is an effort to get back into
control of government through the
liberal door-that is, by talking like
Liberalism order to again put into
effect the policies of Herbert Hoover
1t is deceptive, hypocritical ap-
proach, because the Republican Loop
ard has not so soon changed its spots;
it has merely changed its campaign
slogans. 1t is presenting to the voters
the same stick of poison covered with
liberal honey.
The Farmer-Labor candidate, Gov
ernor Benson, has campaigned on the
real issues before the people; that
is, he has set forth the Farmer
Labor program, discussed the Farmer
Labor record in office, discussed the
Republican record in office and chal-
lenged a comparison of the philoso-

THE NEW CARS

We have two new Ford cars for 193o-better cars
and better looking-but we also have an entirely
new car.
It's called the Mercury 8. 1t fits into our line

Zephyr. II is larger than the Ford, with 116inch

We know that our 1899 cars are cars of good
quality. We think they're fine values in their
price classes.
With new cars, new plants, new equipment, the
whole Ford organization is gedred to go forward.

vention. Most of the fault-find- ing with the primary comes from within the ranks of democratic and republican party members, who declare it doesn't bring out the vote. But records will show that the primary brings out a much larger representation than would any convention system, and if gives opportunity for any member of those parties to seek public office and to declare them- selves on party choices.
 That and that alone is the pur- pose of the party primary law. If it doesn't bring out the vote, is 1t not barely possible that the fault lies with the party in not making its platform sufficiently alluring to the voter, rather than the fault of the law?
 Admittedly, the primary is not perfection, but so long as the un- 'savory odors of the old conven- tion days finger in the nostrils of party voters it probably will re- main as the best instrument of party representative government.

THE PRIMARY LAW.
(,IlIneau Enpire)

Following the primary election, as following every primary since the system was instituted, there IS a great deal of criticism, the major complaints being that only a limited number of voters cast ballots as the result of the neces- sity of declaring party affiliation.
 It must be admitted that the primary election law is not the perfect answer to getting out the voters. But the fact is that 1t does not purport to be. Too many overlook the point that the primary is the instrument of par ty government. It is a substitute for the old convention system, aimed at giving every member of a major political party voice in selecting party candidates. It does just that. If the party mem bers do not take advantage of it, that is not the fault of the pri- mary law.
 It is not a general election, to which much of the adverse cri- ticism would best apply. It is purely a call to party colors. Just as the old convention system her aided the democrats or the repub-

licans, as the case might be, to a convention in a certain place on h certain day for the purpose of nominating candidates to repre- hsent the party in the general election, the primary calls the party voters 10 the polls in simi- lar manner, and every party mem ber is assured a voice, something he was not always assured in the old convention days.
 It is not the primary election laws fault if the voters do not take advantage. IL must be re- membered that there are great many voters in Alaska as well as in every state in the union, who do not care to be affiliated with any political party; they do their voting without regard to party lines and they have the privilege to do 1t at the general election. The primary is not for them, and as a matter of fact there Is little criticism of the primary by these in that large class of independent voters who are conversant with it. Thsy know it as the party instrument it is, and therefore they take no particular interest in it, any more than the general interest they might take in a re- publican or democratic party con
