decent personal, liberty as to milder
forms ut bevorngei, with tho acocm
imnyin gapprtfpriato internal revenue
tax, would obviate tho necessity of
an income tax -in this country."
"Whether tho powers of our pov

constitution, or be distributed a. m on g
a wilderness of commissions and com
mittees, sc nil -executive and semi-leg-islatlvo
in character but at all times
outsido tho constitution, is a choice
which tlio American people must
make.
"The direct primary, outside tho
principles of representative govern

pure democracy, which once estab

survived, susceptible of corruption,
expensive and inefficient In .the crop
of office holders it has produced,

the eighteenth amendment, its disre

against unreasonable searches and
seizures, and against wholesale offi

an issue which patriotic Americans
must face."

Nature throws up her rugged barriers to guard her richest treasures.
Yet determined men break through! Everywhere "Caterpillar' Tractors.,

Perhaps you have considered cleanness in gasoline as simply freedom from
impurities or foreign substances.
Tlt is important, certainly. But it isn't the whole story. True cleanness in
gasoline means much more than physical cleanness.
Associated Gasoline is distilled in such a way as to be given a scientifically
correct "chain" or series of "boiling paints. " Starting with the more volatile
t parts, these boiling points gradually rise, in unbroken sequence, on up
tlirough the heavier or power-producing parts or " fractions." '
That is why Associated ignites instantly and. "burns" or explodes com
pletely, thus yielding the power there is in each "charge." This is true gaso
