Only by circulating Initiative n.tl. tlons will the people seeking Jitney regulation other than that provided In a measure already submitted to the voters ret their measure on the bal lot for the special election May 1. City commissioner jveuaner said yesterday I that he will oppose submission of an-1 other Jitney regulation. Inasmuch as I unanimous vote of the Council la neces sary to get measures en ths ballot now. ths chances are gone for submission by any other meana than by petition. A measure was adopted by the Coun cil for submission putting up ths ques tion of allowing all Jitneys to operate ussier one llil.ooe bond. A second measure, prepared bv Richard w. Mon tague, was presented, requiring each I Jitney to furnish, a bond of 11040 In stead of allowing all to get in under $1 . bond. It was scalnst this measure that Commissioner Kellaher yesterday presented his opposition be fore the Council. 1 1 Is probable that ths second measure will be submitted by petition. Circula tors have about nine days to get the required number of names. , ; ; . J5EL U I m ' How Big- Should the Gasoline mi With one filling 270 miles to go how big should the Gasoline Tank of a car be? . Your answer to the above question would undoubtedly be: "it depends on how much gasoline a car needs." Exactly. The Franklin Car (on the left) scientific ally free from unnecessary weight, runs 270 miles on its gasoline tank capacity of 13Va gallons, at the rate of 20 miles to the gallon. The average heavy car (on the right) to run the same distance would require a cumbersome gasoline tank of 27 gallons, at the rate of ten miles to the gallon. Why? Simply because of the mechanical law as old as the ages that weight requires power in proportion to move it. And the more power needed, the more gasoline consumed. Wher ever there is excessive weight, there is friction, wear and drag and it always shows up in the gasoline tar ' The heavy car bound to burn up fuel dragging around its own excessive weight The Scientific Light Weight Franklin, with its balanced, flexible construction, uses fuel to deliv er power to the rear wheels in driving force. Whj Franklin Sales Increased . -Last Year 135 These are acid-test times for a product of any kind. A motor car, merely to justify its existence, must prove that it is not waste ful or extravagant. But When a car not only does this, but increases it sales 135 last year against the 12 increase of all other fine cans it con clusively proves one thing : that a great many thoughtful people have selected that car .as meeting the needs of today. You've heard people all around you talk ing Franklin and High Gasoline Mileage; your common sense tells you that it can't be an accident there must be facts back of it. Drop in the Franklin Sales Room and get the facts. The Franklin story is short and simple, and there isn't an "if or "but" in it. The remarkable Franklin Sales increase is just the eliminating triumph of a car that has been piling up Economy Records for sixteen years.
