MOTOR CAR B
A LUXURY BUT IS
"1 have always been curious to know
Just how many persons in Oregon City
use their automobiles solely for plea
sure or even primarily for pleasure,"
Mr. Parker of ihe Miller Parker Co.,
remarked the other day when he heard
someone comntent on the growing
number of "pleasure cars on the
streets.
Mr. Tarker who Is the Dodge Rroth
erg dealer in thf city, said It seemee,
preposterous to Jhim tnat- people
shonld continue referring to passenger
cars as "pleasure cars" when the main
streets are so chocked with automo
bile traffic during business hour.
"CertAinly they do not imagine that
ail tflese people driving cars through
the noon and evening rush hours in
the down-town sections are out for Joy
rides," he said. "N6r can they find
one out of a hundred cars aynwhere,
any time of the day that are travelinj
about aimlessly, with no objects or
destination. . In the evening, It is true,
hundreds of persons take their acrs
out for recreation drives, but this is
incidental to the car's chief purpose
in life. During the day It Is in busi
ness. Even the fine limousines oc
cupied by ladles driven by liveried
chauffeurs have their business mis
sions. In fact, these people depend
on the motor car eiclusivelly as a
means of transportation.
"Even newspaper editors sometimes
thoughtlessly write articles about the
great sums of money being invested
B motor cars, 'to satisfy the American
craving for pleasure.' Such editors
usually admit on analyzing the con
ditions that have created the tremen
dous market for automobiles, that
they bad the wrong viewpoint, and
are glad to state the other side ot the
question. It is the realization that it
' is the best possible means of local
transportation; the best time saver;
the best conserver of health. Vhy
should people who have the means
to buy an automobile continue to sub
ject themselves to the inconvenience
of the street car, or to the costly de
lay of the horse and wagon? To cling
to the alot oldtashioned methods
.would not be characteristic of the
American's determination to progress.
The motor car is a public necessity
'and will continue to be a necessity
Just as long as stores and offices are
open, and new buildings are erected
and men go to work."
YACHT IS ABANDONED
! WASHINGTON, Aug. U.-Reports
reaching the navy department Mon
day said the American yacht Hyper
on, ot New York, had been abandoned
off the Florida coast August 3.
The crew was rescued by the Span

FARMER IS GREATLY
BENEFITTED BY USE
OF LIGHT TRUCKS
"There In no limit to commerria'.
Car usefulness," sas Mr. Hall of Hall
& Sons local dealer In Chevrolet
passenger and commercial cars.
"Every day farmers, merchants and
manufacturers are discovering new
ways in whicjj the service of light
trucks and delivery cars may bo ex
tended.
"The farmer especially is profiting
from motor trucks. They have elimin
ated the time and effort required to
keep several horses in working con
dition. They Bave cut down the hand
icaps of distance and direction which
heretofore limited the farmer's trans
portation. They have became indes
pensable to him In countless other
ways.
'He has found that the motor
truck ot limited capacity can be pro
fitably used for short hauls and light
loads
"In such cases wear on tires and
parts is negligible. The well balanced
construction of the modern comul-r-clal
car results ln little more fuel con
sumption than Is necessary to move
the actual load. The time and effort
save dresults in a margin of profit'
"For the same reason this
truck is becoming increasingly popu
lar with merchants and manufacturers
Wherever customers are to be served
or goods moved economical motor
transportation Is profitable.
"Small load can be carried at min
imum cost As the goods to be trans
ported Increase in volume, more cars
of limited capacity can be used. There
is no waste space. Running expense
Is always In direct proportion to the
load.
"And the more cars at command
the more efficient the service and the
more buisness that can be done in less
time."
Railroad Embargo
1 Being Urged
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5. An em
bargo on all classes of railroad equip
ment in intra-city movement as a
means ot relieving terminal conge
tion was recommended today to the
railroad managements by the com
mission on car service of the Ameri
can Railroad association.
A permit system should be inaugu
rated, the commission said, to protect
movement of such freight as cannot
be handled by truck. -
The embargo should, so far as prar.
ticable, be absolute against the usei
of coal cars in cross-town movement!
the circular said.

EVERY EIGHT PFOPLE

Si TO
American
Senator Warrrn G. larding, Republican candidate
for President of the United States, goes to the people '
with a clean record as a friend of the people.
Throughout his career in the Ohio state legislature,
and as a United States senator, his influence, his voice
and his votes have ever been used in the service of the
people.
Senator Harding has shown by his every public
act that vhen he is elected President of the United
States he will be the representative of all the people,
not of any party, not of any class, not of any group or
groups of interests. I le will be the farmers' president
and the bankers'; he will represent the working men
and the industrial heads, the rich and the poor, the
mighty and the lowly.
Senator Harding, the Republican candidate for the
Presidency, is the same simple, plain, unassuming man
of the people he was when a modest Ohio publisher.
Born on a farm, he worked his way through
school and college by laboring in the fields, by driving
teams, painting barns, setting type and teaching school.
Harding the printer became larding the publisher,
a power for right and good in his community.
Recognizing in Harding the type of , man that
makes the best representative of the people's interests in
the legislative halls, the people of Ohio twice sent him
to the state legislature, then honored him as Lieutenant
Governor. In 1914 they recognized hi . true stature
and elected him to the United States Senate.
Today his party has given him the greatest honor
within its power by nominating him for the Presidency,
but he is still the Harding the town folks knew as a
printer and editor, living his simple and beautiful fam
ily life in his modest Marion home, beloved and respect
ed by his neighbors, who were his boyhood friends.
Harding is a splendid type of clean American man
hood, a notable example to every American-born boy
of the opportunities the country offers to them all.
Harding and Coolidge should receive overwhelm
ing support at the polls next November 2nd. They rep
resent all that is best in the party founded by Lincoln,
which, since the Gvil War, has ever wisely guided the
destinies of the country in days of stress, when serious
problems pressed for solution.
