to their repeated requests for an in­
crease in their per diem pay, they can
find it in such tumultuous arena« as
those enacted in the House on the
closing night of the recent session.
And if, as has been charged, this neg­
ative reaction is a bit more pronounced
in Marion county than in other sec­
tions of the state it is only because
the voters of this country are closer
to the scene of action and are more
frequent spectators at these disgust­
ing scenes than are those of more
distant sections.
Granting that the inebriated repre­
sentatives constituted only a small
minority of the House membership
antf that their antics were anything
but typical of the conduct of the leg­
islature as a whole, it can not be de­
nied that it is upon such demonstra­
tions as these that opinion is based
in the minds of a public that is prone
to judge by surface indications.

Several months ago
started, on our own initiative, on
an entirely new 1500 horsepower air­
plane engine especially designed for
mass production. This engine is now
in the test stage and plans are being
developed for producing it in large
quantities when and if needed.
That is a report of progress
to date.
The experience and facilities
of this company can be used
to do much of the job which
America now needs to get done
in a hurry.
Our way of working, which
avoids all possible red tape, en­
ables us to get results and get
them fast. This benefits users
of our products and workers
who produce them.
We are ready to make any­
thing we know how to make,
to make it to the limit of our
capacity if need be, to make it
as fast as we can go, and to start
the next job whenever our
country asks us to. And to this
,end, we know we have the full
confidence and loyal
support of the workmen
