When the State of Oregon filed a suit against the Oregon Short Line 4n the Marlon County Circuit Court, to re cover a penalty for It not complying with the law as to making detailed re ports, the defendant filed a transcript of the pleadings In the United States District Court with' a petition tor re moval to Federal Jurisdiction, the prin cipal reason being that the Oregon Short Line was a foreign corporation. The state filed a motion asking that this petition be diVnissed and that the case be returned to the state court. The motion was argued at length a few w;eks ago before Judge Bean and taken under advisement until yester day, when he sustained the motion and denied the petition of removal. In doing so he said that in the first place, the State of Oregon was not a citizen, second no right, privilege or immunity is claimed by a state under the constitution of the United States and for a third and last reason, the action is to recove a penalty and not a suit of a civil nature.

Do you get the full significance? Consider these men are not only master race drivers, but they are 'the most expert judges of motorcars. - : " THEY HAVE STUDIED EVERY MAKE OF CAR, from rear axle to radiator. They know the weak and the strong parts of every car that is worth knowing about. They have spent years in factories studying automobile construction and testing every new device and method known to motordom. It is a part of the daily business of these men to know what is good and what is bad in a motor car. Their word is the final decision. Their judgment on motor cars can not be questioned. . ".l : JUST THINK THESE DRIVERS HAD THE PICK OF ALL MOTORDOM-Every maker in the world would have jumped at tne chance to sell his cars to these drivers. It would "have been praise, indeed, for the quality of their product, but the Studebaker cars were the unanimous verdict. : ' THESE CHAMPION DRIVERS CHOSE TO BUY STUDEBAKER CARS for their personal use because they knew they were getting the best their money could buy: They had seen many higher-priced' cars go down to defeat at the hands of Studebaker E. M. F. "30" and Studebaker-Flanders ."20" cars in race and biU-climb events. THE ORDINARY AUTOMOBILE DOES NOT appeal to champion drivers WHY SHOULD THEY APPEAL TO YOU? If there is any one thing race drivers are critical about, it is the sort of car they choose for their personal use. SO SHOULD YOU. They know the best and they will not be satisfied with anything else. That is why champion drivers choose Studebaker cars. They know the quality of Studebaker cars. They know they are built of the very best material money can buy and made by the most skilled workmen in the automo bile industry. They know Studebaker cars are factory-made and not assembled and that they carry with them the best guarantee given with any car. I JUST A WORD ABOUT SERVICE Harry Endicott said, "I bought a Studebaker car because the Studebakers, have the best Serv ice in the automobile business!" Xhe Studebaker "Kind-of -Service" is known as the best that is offered to users of motor cars. No mat ter where you are you can never get out of reach of a Studebaker Service station. And right here in Portland is a direct factory branch, housing a $50,000 parts department, Experts, Specialists, etc., all the necessities for good service! SO WHEN YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A CAR WHY NOT GET THE CAR THAT CHAMPIONS BUY? YOUR WORRIES ARE THEN OVER YOU HAVE THE BEST AND THERE'S NOTHING TO DO BUT ENJOY IT.
