According to Thomas I. Henry, president of tho A. A. A., the atito - motive business stands first in co operation between producer, retailer and consumer. This, he says, is the result of successful organisation ef forts on the port of the three human factors in the Industry. Organization Effective "What the manufacturers, the deal ers ami the car owners could njit do individually in the way of coopera tion they have done, and are doing, through organization," Mr. Henry de clares. "This is the day of organiza tion, and untiling proves it more than tho three lending automotive or ganizations that arc helping the whole of motoring 'get together.' "Through tho National Automobile chamber of commerce automobile manufacturers have been enabled, not only to cooperate with each' other in the solution of industrial problems affecting luotonloni, but to cooperate with their dealers and their consum ers. The National Automobile Deal ers association untangles the prob-. ieiiis that woiijd otherwise result in increased costs, poor service and 'or phaned' cars. The American Automo bile association completes tho picture bv helping the motorist use and en joy his car. : Assistance Available "These organizations, sifting out of the most .practical ideas and sugges tions from their large memberships. ,nre able to offer to each other the most concrete form of assistance. Thus we find the X. A. O. . cooper ating in nn effort to solve the acci dent problem, the X. A. I). A. co operating in an effort to stabilize the retail trade to the advantnge of all. mid the A. A. A; uniting its affiliated motor clubs into a coust-to-coast touring service iinpurnlleled in th History or minsporiniion. fit should be obvious to the mot orist that the success of Biicli cooper ation rests largely upon association strength. ! The stronger these asso ciations arc the quicker our motor ing problems will be solved. The day has passed when the individual cor owner call expect to see progress through individual conference with individual members of the industry or the trade . Cooperation Possible "lu.auuiiiuli to all tlio direct bene fits which i a car owner receives in the way -of pouring information, legal advice, emergency road service, li censing, etc., when he joins his loen automobile club he automatically ob tains the cooperation of those who make and sell the enra ne buys. It is organization that makes this co oprcntion possible. It is the big motor asset of the day, and the most effective thing any ear owner can do during ltl2i is to seek to enlist the help of other car owners in making it still rcreuter.." The immediate benefit received by the motorist from national organiza tions is realized when it is known tl in t the manufacturers association with its cross licensing agreements mid cooperative measures which guar antee more car valuo aa time goes on. works with a national dealers association which is constantly Im proving sales mid service, and both in turn work with the one national owner's ussoc'ntinu which improves motoring conditions, renderB map, touring and emergency road service and watches and legislative interests of tho individual owner.

Wage Earners May Be Free From Tax MKLROUHNB, Australia, Jan.-24. P) Sixty thousand persons will cease to be taxpayers if the budget of the first Victorian Labor government is carried through. The government practically proposes to take tho bur den of taxation from the small wage earner, and transfer it to the lug salary men. This has formed two camps of opinion. ..The workers be lieve that the mitlonium is appreciab ly nearer; others believe nothing of the sort. f , ' Tho program calls for increasing income tax deductions to $1,000, with nn extra $o00 for the wife of a tax payer, and the allowance for child ren to be increased from $1"0 to $l!it0. Concessions for wives and children would be limited to tnxpny crs with Incomes below $40,000. Present Indications arc that- rubor will carry tho proposal. ' Unquestionably, the most compelling tribute to the car's stamina is its widespread use by farmers, ranchmen, surveyors, salesmen and others who travel isolated roads in all sorts of weather. These men will tell you that a good polishing restores the durable finish to its original brightness after the car has been caked with mud for weeks. To them it is a matter of vital importance, too, that Dodge Brothers powerful starter functions promptly after prolonged exposure to the cold. Nor is any group of owners more constantly impressed by those elements of excess value which characterize not only the Type-B Sedan itself, but every car that Dodge Brothers build.

This ruler also has placed powerful searchlight on the roof ot his palace with which he can illuminate the surrounding hillsides. Electric fans, us may be sun- posed, are being rapidly introduced among the natives. . CREDIT FOR SALE OF EASTERN OILS Declaring that every time a west ern motorist puts a quart of eastern oil in his crankcase, ho pays fifteen cent sfor pure prejudice, C. Tj. Tos- ! tevin, Oregon sales manager for the Union Oil company, has inaugurated a special drive among his salesmen to promote the use of western oils by 1 western autoists. j "So far as their actual value is con-: cerned," said Mr. Tostevin, at a spe-j cial meeting of his organization, "the only difference between Kastern and Western oil is one of price. This , difference is from natural, economic I causes and has nothing whatever to, do with quality. The western pro- j duct costs less for two very simple ; reasons; first, the volume of pro-' duction is much greater, and second, j being produced in the west from ; western crude, the freight rates are ( naturally much lower than for the : imported eastern pedigreed oil." i "The fact is that western motor j oil is made from some of the finest J crudes for the purpose which this country produces. As a motor lmV , ricant, it has the endorsement of j automobile, engineers of the highest standing. The inclination toward j Kastern oil Is explained by the fact ! that many automobiles and the ma-, jority of motorists are of eastern 1 origin. With characteristic tenacity,.) they cling to the Kastern oil habit, though it is an unwarranted, extrav agant prejudice. "We might as .well face tho fact that all motor oils deposit some car bon. What wc want, to remember is that there are two kinds of carbon. Thousands of users of Aristo Mqtor Oil testify to its residue being ,.soft and fluffy not the hard and gritty abrasive which scores and scratches metal and must be remov every few thousaud miles' at considerable cost. Most of the carbon deposited by -Aristo, in fact, blows out with the exhaust." n DRY WOOD Under Cover Any Length Slabwood Oak Body Fir - Ash Secund Growth Maple Manerud-Huntington Fuel Co. .
