When Edison Said 'Hello, Fisherman!
A sales tax is, we believe, an equitable means of raising ' .
revenue, but the proposal to inaugurate a tax with the rates U 111011 1 rOjrrfllTl
so low that the tax could not be passed on directly to the
consumer is questionable. The . consumer which means
everybody must pay eventually, whether it be a visible
penny or an invisible markup by manufacturer or dealer; and
the former is much more to lie desired.

intimate personal experience with all phases of political
methods and politically turned minds, no mm in America
can appraise the Hoover prospect more keenly or more quick
ly than these very writers. As Caret Garrett writes in the
current issue of the Saturday Evening Post, no one can say
definitely what Herliert Hoover will do, but they can say
with assurance how he will do it And since the means in
government has liecome recognized in modern life as equally
or even more vital than the end, the comment is significant
and extremely interesting as Hoover's inaugural approaches.
"His election," Bays Mr. Garrett, "is a violent break with
every tradition that has governed the American presidency
since Washington. Jn the field of politics there was no such
man. And now having got him millions of people are ex
pecting a new kind o( attack to be made upon national prol
lems by the executive arm of government." He says further:
. """his expectation is indefinite. Necessarily so,
""vc v e arc on new ground, calling un new forces.
h loving away our old textbooks and beginning to
kai n our lessons by what the educators now call the
c;ise method which is to proceed directly from the
facts instead of taking first a theory and drawing
' the facts to it,
1 "Definitely, Mr. Hoover is an experiment, in a
creative sense. Nobody knows what he will do. A
to many things not yet finally examined, he proli
ably does not know hi nisei I'. And yet it is possible
to say a good deal !efnrehand nUiut how he will do
whatever he does, and say this by three wavs or
knowing.
"First, how does a Hoover mentality act, as it nun
lie in Mr. Hoover or anyone else? This question is
to Ik? answered logically His type ot mentality nets
by imagination, analysis, synthesis, judgment. Its
first net in every case is to find the simplest possible,
statement of the problem. That is generalization,
from the faculty of imagination. What is the prol
lrmV Having got it clearly in view, the next step is
one of analysis. Break the problem down part by
part. This is research, or iact-finding. The third
act is that of synthesis. Weigh the lads, evaluate
them, reconcile them; then put them a'l ti "'etler
J again and regard the problem as a whole.
' "That is all there is to the scientific appioath in
principle. It is the same to an economic dil liemty as
f to a problem in physics or to a piece of intricate
j : mechanism. Fust the imagination to generalise the
f problem, which is to isolate it fur purposes of action ;
then analysis- and synthesis; all to the end that judg
ment may be inloimed by exact knowledge, and so
belong to wisdom." '
The collective public, knowledge of Hoover methods bears
out this style of attack. In his wide experience as an admin
istrator, both in private and in public life, he has never taken
the political method of satisfying public opinion first and get
ting constructive results second. He has done his work with
the sole aim of making the solution of every problem mutual
ly l)eneficial to everylxxly concerned. He has la lieve.l that
accurate and complete knowledge of a given problem would 1
produce the obvious solution without the aid of laws. Cer
tainly that attitude in government will nt least lie a novelty
and can be no worse than the political attitude of the past.
We can't tell what Hoover will do, but we can have a gnat
deal of confidence in his doing it and with unprecedented
intelligence.

PLYMOUTH'S rxreptioiully tow operat
ing cost is the direct result of Chrysler
engineering, research and manufacturing ex
pcrirnce which has produced vastly increased
power and smoothness in a modern four
cylinder high-compression engine, while
retaining alt the inherent economy and
simplicity for which this type is notable.
Yet economy is merely the beginning of the
greater value Chrysler has built in the
Plymouth.
Plymouth is unique in the lowest-priced field
in giving lull -sue seating capacity for all
adult pjjscngcn-without crowding or dis
cc mfort.
Plymouth is the only car in its field giving
the positive safety of Chrysler weatherproof
internal kyjrmtiic brakes on all four wheels.
It is the only car in this class providing the
distinctive new Chrysler silhouette with
slender-profile radiator, "air-wing" fenders,
arched-windows, bowl-type headlamps and
other striking features of style and beauty.
On every basis of comparison, the Plymouth
earns your respect and the immediate con
viction 'that it represents tocUy's greatest
dotlar-for-doltar value in the field of lowest
priced cars. .
