New Mercury 8
Making Sales Record

Mercury 8, the sensational Ford
built car that ranked among the ma
tons ten best sellers in 1899. its
first year on the automotive mar
ket, gives every indication of set
ting an even greater record this
year, r. w. LeDuc. local Ford deal
er declared this week
The local dealer revealed that in
the Pacific Northwest territory
alone, sales of 1910 Mercury s mod
els during the first three months
of this year were 80 per cent above
those for the same 90-day period
Of 1889.
Apparently feeling the stimulus
of an intensive Lets Go" sales pro-
gram and the opening of the spring
travel season, sales were particu-
larly strong the final 10 days of
March. statistics showed. Mercury 8
business increased "a per cent the
last Today period of the month,
compared to March 20-30, 1899.
Especially popular this spring, &C
cording to the local dealer, are the
club convertible and convertible
sedan models, two all-weather body
types. The latter is an entirely new
Mercury model, produced this year
for the first time.
Both have fully automatic tops,
powered by vacuum from the in
take manifold which completely
eliminates the laborious task of rails
I ing or lowering the top. A control
knob, conveniently located on the
instrument panel at the left of the
driver, sets the mechanism in mo-
ton.
The 1910 Mercury not only looks
long-it is long. All models meas
ure 1876 inches from front to rear
bumper. l27 inches from front to
rear springs, and 116 inches from
front to rear axle. Inside the car,
space conserved by the compact "
type engine has been skillfully
translated by expert designers into
extra inches of disable space for
passengers.

D. {. Officials Oppose
Bill Banning Sale Of
Convict-Made Goods
RehobiIitotive Program
Would Be Destroyed,
They Declare

District officials today voiced hope
the Senate would reject provisions
of a House-approved bill banning
sales to the District government, as
well as to private enterprises, of
convict-made goods at the District
Reformatory and Workhouse.
Arguments were offered that such
restrictions not only would place an
Increased cost on the District-pri-
marily in not s,eine allowed to use
brick made BY prisoners at tetssse esasse penal
institutions in District structures
but also would destroy the rehabili-
tative program" for prisoners at the
reformatory.
Amendment Offered.
The bill passed by the House orig
inally was sponsored by Repre-
sentative Dirksen, Republican, of
Illinois. 1t would have prohibited
sale of prison-made goods in the
District, but before the House adopt
ed the measure last Monday Chair
man Randolph of the House District
Committee offered an amendment
extending the prohibition to pur-
chases by the District government,
except for sales to religious and
charitable institutions, sale of Dis
trict automobile license plates, made
at Lorton, and use of laundry facili-
ties and services there. The Ran
dolph amendment was indorsed by
Representative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
budget officer, prepared a state
ment for the advice of the Senate
District Committee which said:
Passage of H. R. 100l1 would
bring about condition which would
be inimical to safe custody and
would leave the workhouse and re-
formatory in a very serious situa-
ton. Changes would have to be
made in the present building struc-
lures in order to provide safe GUS
tody for prisoners and provide more
cells instead of dormitories.
Increase. in Guard Force.
Increases would have to be made
in the guard force and fences built
around the entire institution. This
because of the lack of work to keep
the inmates busy. One-hah Of the
inmate population now Is engaged
in industrial work. Passage of this
bill would completely destroy the
rehabilitative program at Lorton." /"
Welfare officials reported that the
penal institutions last year sold
$285 900 worth of products to non
prison institutions or to private
agencies.

Eight Legislators Would Use
Guard Anywhere in Americas
Danger Of Disastrous Delay Seen
In Authority Limitation to U. S. Territory

The Presidents request for au-
thority to call out the National
Guard for use or training has been
favorably reported by the House
Military Affairs Committee, which.
however, limited the employment Of
the National Guard to the United
States, its territories and posses
sions.
At the same time supplemental
report was made to the majority
finding in which eight members de-
clared in favor of presidential au-
thority to use troops from all re-
serve components of the Army any
where in the Western Hemisphere"
The supplemental report follows:
We, the undersigned members of
the Committee on Military Affairs
of the House of Representatives,
concur in the majority report on
H. j. Res 555, third session of the
Seventy-sixth Congress, but believe
that the provisions of the resolution,
while beneficial. are yet not ade-
quate. We believe that the resolu-
ton should authorize the President
to use troops from all of the re-
serve components of the Army any,
wneFe in the Western Hemisphere.
Quick Action Always imperative.
Due to the troubled condition of
the world, it is extremely doubtful,
if many Of the nations in this hem
isphere could, without the assistance
ofttie United States, maintain their
present form of government against
an attempt by disloyal elements
within, assisted by certain non
American powers, to seize control of
the existing government. If any
territory in this hemisphere falls
under the control of any new foreign
power it at once becomes question
of the invocation of the Monroe
Doctrine. In these days of lightning
and total warfare time is one of the
most essential elements. An enemy
smashed, before he becomes firmly
intrenched, can be handled by a
much smaller body of troops, than
after he has established himself.
W. nav ol1S dbOut a. i,UUU IIlcIl Ill
the Regular ARMY. OF these some
10000 are on duty in the Panama
Canal Zone and our overseas possess
sions. OF the remainder, large per
cent are, of necessity, in a peace
time army, troops of other than
combat branches. Therefore, the
number of troops from the Regular
Army, which could be used for a
quick expeditionary force, is COM
paratively small.
It has been suggested, by those of
this committee who object to au-
thorizing the President to use the
Reserve components of the Army
anywhere in the Western Hemi-
sphere, that the Regular forces can
be increased to a number sufficient
to provide suitable force for such
eventualities. This would be i'm
possible. since the very shortest
time possible to enlist, train and
equip such troops would be six
months. Such a delay might very
well be disastrous. The chief of
staff stated before the committee
that it was not contemplated to call
all the National Guard, but only
those units which might be needed.
He also sated, that if the general
staff had sufficient time in advance
of an emergency, they could work

also be said that the Congress of
the United States bickered and
quibbled while the clouds of war
gathered over those regions in this

boasted, are protected by the Monroe
Doctrine? Shall it be said that we
refused to take proper steps to

grave and believe that the President

need arises while Congress is not in

our wishes and beliefs in this re-
spect should be unknown and un-

Court Upholds MaryIand's S
Income Tax
BY the Associated Press.

6s tNe ASSOCldteQ HTeSS.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 13-The
State income tax had the Court of
Appeals stamp Of legality today and
Gov. O'Conors budget-balancing
program was saved from disaster.
The tax, designed to raise So
100000, was declared constitutional
in an opinion handed down late yes
terday.
A ruling against the levy would
have meant collapse of the State
administrators financial program,
for the tax admittedly is the key
stone around which the program is
built.
One Section Ruled Out.
The court attack grew out of a
storm of criticism at tax-paying
time last March and Gov. O'Conor
later announced he would ask the
Legislature to amend the levy to
tighten the tax on the lower in
come brackets.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ezra L. Oursler and
John K. Culver, jr., taxpayers, con-
Quoted the court test of the levy,
contending it violated both Federal
and State Constitutions and that
it was arbitrary and contained in
equalities.
The court held that a minor sec
ton providing that no taxes under
the provisions of a ground-rent lease
shall be collected from the lessee by
the lessor-was invalid but that the
rest of the act was constitutional.
The court adjourned for the sum-
mer yesterday and is not expected
to reconvene until October.
