LEGISLATURE MAY
SUPPORT FAMILIES
Special Session Contemplated
to Provide for Dependents
of Oregon Soldiers.
BOND ISSUE IS ADVOCATED

refused to obey a command to halt at a
spot where the soldier was on guard.

SPECIAL CAR IS PROVIDED
Iftepresentatlve Kubll Cites Exper
ience of Last Mobilization
When Some Persona Became
. Objects of Charity.
A special session of the Legislature
to provide means of caring for those
dependent upon men called Into the
service of the Army and Navy Is con
templated by members of both houses
In Portland.
Governor Withycombe said last week
that he probably would call a special
session soon after war is declared ac
tually to exist.
Legislators as well as private Indi
viduals are convinced that the state
should give substantial aid to the de
pendent women and children of those
men whose employers have not already
guaranteed to continuing payment of
salaries while they are away.
Anticipating that legislation along
this line will be necessary. Representa
tive K K. Kubll. chairman of the ways
and means committee of the House, has
Investigated the requirements neces
sary to meet this emergency, and will
have the proper bills drafted before
the session convenes.
Bond Issue Advocated.
On account of the slx-per-cent tax
limitation. Representative Kubll be
lieves that the only way to meet the
situation is through a bond issue. It
Is proposed to authorize the proper
Etate officials to Issue bonds as they
are needed and only In the amount that
they are needed.
He believes the whole programme
can be carried out without delay and
that the session need not continue more
than a few days. It is unlikely that
any other subject of legislation would
be proposed.
Mr. Kubll has consulted with Adjutant-General
White and learned from
him the methods and manner in which
the Federal Government has provided
for the families of men in the United
States Army and Navy. He proposes
to follow the lines suggested by Gov
ernor Wltycombe in his recent utter
ances through the press.
Former Experience Recalled.
"When the National Guard was called
to the Mexican front, the order was so
peremptory that many of the men were
unable to make adequate provision for
their families." said Representative
Kubll last nigh. "We have time after
time seen through the press that their
families became objects of charity,
which should not occur to the family
of any man going to the front to fight
in defense of his country.
"After the men were mustred out
and returned to their homes, their
places had been filled by other men.
The Chamber of Commerce and other
bodies made frantic appeals to busi
nessmen to furnish employment for
those ex-soldiers. The fact that this did
occur has a great deal to do with the
lack of enthusiasm in enlisting to serve
the country in the present crisis.
"Therefore, the State of Oregon
should make ample provision for tak
ing care of dependent relatives of all
soldiers and also provision to take care
of the dependents after the men return
until such time as they can be fur
nished employment.
"This should be done through the
military arm of the state so that no
Intimation of charity would be coupled
with it.
"As is known by every one this is not
a war of aggression hut of defense,
consequently it Is due from the citizens
of the state who are not called and
whose lives and property are defended
by those called into the service to do
their share by maintaining the depend
ent families of the men who are pos
sibly sacrificing their lives for the de
fense of the state and Natibn."

Maxwell Quality has been and will be
rigidly maintained in spite of the big and
constant increases in the cost of materials.
That's the Maxwell policy, fixed and immutable as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
For years the Maxwell Company has been proving it in the
Maxwell car, which has come to be recognized as the "World's
Greatest Motor Car Value,"
as the car of power of ease of control of stability of en
durance of economy.
200,000 satisfied Maxwell owners attest to the success of that
policy.
More than three thousand Maxwell dealers owe their business
stability to the fulfillment of that policy.
The First Consideration is Maxwell
Owners' Protection
No matter what other motor car manufacturers may do in
the face of the greatly increased cost of raw materials,
the Maxwell Company is going to maintain the high Maxwell
standard of quality and only make a slight increase in the cost
of the car.
While we are sorry that there is any increase, it can't be helped
because the first consideration is Maxwell quality,
the quality which has given the Maxwell the two world's
non-stop records of 22,000 miles, the 1916 record, and 23,500 miles,
the 1917 record, at amazingly high mileage per gallon of gasoline.
This Small Increase is Your Big
Insurance Policy
If the Maxwell Company didn't make the increase, slight as
it is, it would have to skimp here and there in materials, con
struction and refinements,
and that the Maxwell Company will never do.
No manufacturer can make a car today for the same cost as
he could a year ago.
The fact that the price of the Maxwell on May first will be
raised is your assurance that the Maxwell Company is still put
ting the same quality into the car,
your guarantee of still getting the "World's Greatest Motor
Car Value."
In Fact, Better Value Than Ever Before
As a matter of fact, the Maxwell is now an even better "buy",
than ever.
Not because the model or design is changed in whole or in part,
but because the Maxwell you buy today is the super-refinement
of the original highly successful model of four years ago,
the super-product which time and experience in manufac
turing this powerful car have demonstrated to be right,
the same proud Maxwell car which, in recent competitive
tests held by the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale and Prof.
Gallup of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, proved itself the
most economical of all the automobiles tested.
The Car That Everyman Can Own
Maxwell economy of upkeep has made it everyman's car.
Thousands upon thousands of Maxwell owners have told us
that their running costs are as little as six to eight dollars
per month an amount which the average man spends on casual
luxuries. i
The Maxwell gives an amazing mileage per gallon of gasoline.
Instance, the world's non-stop record run of 22,000 miles, when a
Maxwell stock car averaged 22 miles per gallon of gasoline.
(
Own a World's Non-Stop Champion Car
There is no reason why you shouldn't.
It's first price is small far less, when you take Into considera
tion its complete equipment and luxurious refinements, than any
other car made.
Then its cost of upkeep is so little as to make the cost of 1.
family's ordinary luxuries extravagant by comparison.
With the power in its motor to make up hill and down da
like a level road ;
with the ease of control that makes driving sheer troubleless
pleasure;
and with the stability and endurance that makes the Max
well, not a one season, but a many-season car:
the Maxwell is beyond doubt the "World's Greatest Motor
Car Value" everyman's car.
the new price $665 goes
May 1st,
into effect.
But you do not have to pay the in
crease in price if you buy your Maxwell
now.
