Without commenting on the relative merits of is not amiss to say that It Is a big job for any man. Portland is reaching the point where "big city" grafts and petty corruptions, liable to ramify and become a menace to the welfare of the city as a whole, are to be expected; Municipal improvements and munici pal this and that make a job for the mayor that few relish.

Immediately after the .banquet, a descriptive lecture, accompanied by moving pictures, was given to the deal ers and, the public,, by F, M. Smith, sptclal 'factory representative,', who said: .

F. company what it is. He was the first automobile manufacturer to establish profit participation in his factory, and today a large part of the 12,000 men working in the shop of the E. M. F. company at Detroit participate in the profits of the company through a bon us system, which is based entirely on merit It is a source of great regret to me that Mr. Flanders could not have been with us, and also Mr. Geo. . Keller, general Bales manager, as I would like to have had each one of our dealers meet them both personal ly. The moving pictures hive proven a source of great educational benefit to the 1.100 or moreV dialers we have already shown them to, and there is no I question in my mind but that the 'show-me' method is by far the best." Within a short time, the pictures viewed at the banquet will be shown tor the beneiit of people here, as it is the intention of E. M. F. and Flanders factories to have a great number of films made, which will be sent out to every dealer they have, and he. In turn, will exhibit them, free of charge, to the residents of his city. r . . , ncTi;m:s are wasted. Frnltm n Hnv Chance to Gt Dcsira bio Publicity in the East.
