GOVERNMENT !HI STftTE TOO HIGH, RALSTON SAYS Democratic Nominee to Senate Lays Stress on Cost of Adminstration. DECLARES FOR ECONOMY Promises Reduction of Taxes and Lessening of Burden on People. By Times Special FARMERSBURG, Ind., Aug. 11.— Samuel M. Ralston, Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, spoke here this afternoon, laying particular stress on the importance of economy in the administration of the Government. "The people bear the burdens of their Government; they pay the bills, and no party is trustworthy that does not endeavor to conduct the people’s government as economically as the same can be done without sacrificing the efficiency with which It should be run,” he said. "A political party in power should not only endeavor to conduct the people's government economically, but it should have the ability to and actually avoid oppressing the people through high taxes and extravagance. "I do not need to tell you that It is costing the people of Indiana too much to run its government. There is something radically wrong when the people, the most industrious on earth, citizens of the richest country in the world, have to borrow money or sell their property at a ruinous loss before they can pay their taxes.” Discusses Platform He discussed at length how the Democratic party in its platform proposes to give the people a larger measure of control over the taxes than they ever had before. "The Republican party recognizes the strength of the position of the Democratic party on the question of taxation," he continued. “I say to you good people, who are not seeking class advantages, but who want your government fairly, economically and efficiently administered, that if I go to the United States Senate, I will work to reduce your taxes and to lighten your burdens,” he concluded.

OAKLAND SHOWS UNUSUAL POWER ON REGENT TOUR

Completes 2,111 Miles of Roads Girdling Lake Michigan Without Mishap. UNABLE TO ADD OIL Indicator to Reserve Supply Shows Full Until Final Stopover. The Oakland car covered the total 2.111 miles in the recent Michigan Pike Association tour around Lake Michigan on ninety-seven gallons of gasoline or an average of 21.76 miles per gallon. This information Is contained in a report of the entire trip by E. W. Lyons of the Oakland Motor Car Company. “At the end of the first thousand miles, I drained the oil from the crankcase,” reads the report in part. "Before draining I measured the amount in the crankcase and was unable to add any to bring It to the leves mark. In other words, the level gauge showed full at the end of 1,000 miles. At the end of the trip I measured the oil and was unable to add any. The gauge registered full. "During the entire trip it was not necessary to add any water, and. In fact, I did not have the radiator cap off during the entire trip unt.l the finish, at which time I was able to add three pints of water to the radiator. "It was not necessary at any time to make any mechanical adjustment on the motor or tighten any part of the chassis or car.” The pacemaker on the tour set a pace of thirty-five miles an hour when the roads permitted. As the Oakland was the twelfth car in line it was- necessary to run about thirty-five miles an hour at times. At some places the Oakland ran from fifty to fifty-five miles an hour to keep in line. Many rough roads were encountered, particularly the seventy-five-mile stretch between Marquette and St. Ignaee, composed of heavy sand wljich often came as high as the running board. Stops were made at seventy-seven different towns, which and and not include the regular stops for meals and for the night. The Oakland encountered no tire trouble during the entire trip and the only work done on the car was the lubrication of universal Joints, front and rear wheel bearings, distr.butor and generator.

OLDS SELECTS UNIQUE IDEE IN CLOSED CAH Equipment Includes Molding Designed to Throw Water at Rear of Car. Changes In window and top construction have been made by the Olds Motor Works in their 1923 California top model, in an effort to give the purchaser an enclosed type of car and at a greatly reduced price. A drip molding has been added to the roof as part of the standard equipment, and this acts as an eavestrough and protects persons entering or leaving, from any water. This molding has been made continuous around the entire car, with the exception of the rear, and drains on both sides, sufficiently back of the rear door to do away with the splashing of water against side windows and dripping over the door. Other Novelties Anew and much-called-for improvement has also been made in changing the glass In the rear windows to a double glass top, which may bo opened at will. The Olds Motor Works has also added a cowl ventilator to this model and every effort has been made to give the purchaser an enclosed sedan car at a low price. California Owners Lead The average number of people to each automobile in California is 5.16. In Alabama it is 28.5.
