EDITORIAL
LOOKING TOWARD
WASHINGTON
Here is a true story. A young
man had been employed for several
years in a wholesale house. Last
year they were not in the red, but
the black ink was not particularly
predominant. One morning recently
the young man said to the boss,
“You remember that when you
first started this business several
years ago, you and I both went out
and hustled for business and got it.
When business was coming good,
we got lazy and quit stirring up
business. Now I think we ought to
go back to the plan we started out
with. Let’s not wait for Washing-
ton to help us, but go out and hus-
tle and help ourselves.”
Pretty good advice
a young man. It is our honest
opinion that when we individually
hustle and improve business, it will
be quite a bit better.

AVERAGE TAX ON AUTOS
Motorists of the country paid $1,-
088,000,000 in special motor taxes
in 1932, an increase of 9 per cent
as compared to 1930, in the face of
a decline in the same period of
some 2,500,000 registered vehicles
and curtailed uses of those in oper-
ation.
Highway users paid $1,015,000,-
000 in state, county and municipal
motor levies during the year 1932
and approximately $73,000,000 in
Special Federal excise taxes under
the Revenue Act of 193p.
This tax burden represents an
average tax of $44.82 on every mo-
tor vehicle in the country and an
increase in the average tax of 18.8
percent since 1930. In some sec-
tions, gas taxes now amount to a
one hundred percent tax on the
wholesale price of the commodity.
Every time our lawmakers want
a little extra money for something
they tax the poor car owner. There
may be such a thing as killing the
goose that laid the golden egg.
HERE COMES THE BOY!
The promise of the man—He cries
papers on the local street; he seeks
out jobs here and there for
“change;” he goes, perhaps unwill-
ingly to school—He may or may not
be a scout; he mav be this or that
or something else—at any rate]
“all-boy”—often bent on mischief;
endowed with strange caprice—Full
of fun; bubbling over with the joy
nf living—Sometimes distraction of
his parents; the “spitball” anncy-
ance of his teachers—Many a black
ened eye; many a bloody nose--the
cough-and-tumble develops funda-
mental virtues—rarely wholly bad;
sometimes somewhat “naughty”;
byv-an-large clean =und wholesome—
intent largely a misd
take and many a wrong--errors of
head and not of the heurt—Tre eter
ral question mark—the boy—He
dreams; he transgressas; he fights
He recognizes no defeat; he
Krows no stumbling

“i. ns beat aginst
Nzither fate nor circumstance can

USIN« ONE'S HEAD
Just how m1 does the average
person use their head in their work
Of course you say all the time. But
that is not the case. Workers may
be divided into two
classes—those
who work with their heads and
those who do not. The latter sit
back and wait for ideas—they do
just what they are told—nothing
more — opportunities rushing past
them mean nothing in their young
lives—the tragedy of it is that the
lives do not stay young—they get
old and just stick.
Having an open mind is a good
thing—and it is really compara-
tively rare. If you are an employer
you will agree at once. All over
the country men and women run-
ning businesses are crying out for
workers—not geniuses—just work-
ers who will use their heads—do
things without being told—keep the
machinery in their brains working.
If you are an employee you will
not agree—at first—but take for
granted that it is the truth and see
how often you ask about things
which should be apparent to you—
how you miss opportunities to say
or do the right thing—how you just
sit back and “le: George do it.”
We live this life once—let’s get
out of it all we can. Education

New Chevy
On Display
Tomorrow
Chevrolet's new entry in the auto-
mobile market-“The Standard” Six-
goes on public display tomorrow at
dealer showrooms the country over
Featuring aer-stream styling, the
car resembles in external appearance
its companion series. Three body types
are offered—coach, coupe and coupe
with rumble seat, all with Bodies by
Fisher and all featuring the new Fish-
er no-draft ventilation system.
Powered by a value-in-head six
cylinder engine, the new motor de-
velops sixty horse power at 3,000 R. P.
M, and is said to have a top speed of
65 to 70 miles per hour. It is of the
same basic design as the six first in-
troduced by Chevrolet in 1928 and now
used in the Master series.
While certain features are identical
with the Master series, a company
statement emphasizes that the new
Standard Chevrolet is an entirely new
car, and not a smaller version of the
Master nor a resurrection of an older
model. It is the result of two years
of development work, the company
states, and is a companion car to the
Master series designed primarily to
consolidate Chevrolet in its position of
leadership in the industry, which it
has held four years out of the past six,
by opening up to it that market repre-
sented by people who want lowest first
cost and operating costs. The new
Standard six, the company claims, will
deliver more miles per gallon of gaso-
line than any other full size car now
on the market, and is ideally adapted
to the needs of the fleet user and the
commercial traveler.
By announcement day upwards of
15,000 of the new models were sched-

BUFFALO (Special) — Thirty

uled to have been built and delivered
to dealers for a simultaneous national
showing. The cars are being built, just
as the Master series, in the company’s
twenty domestic manufacturing and as-
sembly plants, and all cars bearing the
Chevrolet name are built of the same
materials, to the same precision limits,
on the same manufacturing and as-
sembly lines and by the same fine
craftsmen.
Prominent in the features of the
Standard Chevrolet are skirted fenders
| front and rear, which conceal all under
| parts of the car, safety plate glass in
| the windshield, finger tip seat control,
| the new outward flare of the rear panel
| to control the gasoline tank and other
under parts, stabilized front end
mounting, new transmission with non-
clashing gears and silent second, down-
draft carburetion, and new octane se-
Ilector first introduced by Chevrolet,
counter balanced crankshaft, and many
| other modern car features.
In exterior appearance the Standard
| Chevrolet resembles the Master models
| except for size. One noticeable depar-
ture is on the hood, where the slanting
doors of the big car are represented on
the Standard series with louvres—eigh-
teen on each side symmetrically group-
ed. The radiator is the popular slant-
|ing “V” type with harmonizing paint

PRICES today are below
“sea-level”, if we may be permit-
ted to use the phrase as a simile for par.
They’re actually “sub” pric-
es in the sense that many commod-
dities, and principally the necessities of life, are
being sold below cost of production, or at least be-
low the cost at which merchants, manufacturers
and wage-earners can continue to produce them and
maintain normal standards of living.
What, then, is the inevitable
result? Prices must come “up for air”
...national and individual prosperity demands it
and the upturn is immediately in the offing.
Today’s prices are depress- :
ion prices. They can only be com-
pared with prices during other periods of depres-
sion of past years... .they cannot remain in this
country any more than depression can continue ina
country so basically prosperous in resources, in en-
terprise, in wealth, in commercial and industrial
leadership.
These are conditions which
will, and are already, adjusted them-
selves. . .by inevitable laws of economics,
We've reached the low...
and at the low is the time to buy.
With Food, Clothing, Furniture and almost every-
thing else at the lowest prices in 15 years; with the
purchasing power of your dollar greater today by
40% to 100% than at any time since the war sure-
ly it’s time to stock up. . .even to buy beyond your
immediate needs because unless you buy now, or
very soon, you’re surely going to pay more. ..when
prices come ‘‘up for air.’’
