Buick Announces EidiMn-Line Series Of 1931 Models
The first photographs of the new 1931 Buick cars equipped with Eight-in-Line engines are here. The new cars are equipped also
with improved Fisher bodies, and have many improvements and refinements, including an oil temperature regulator and syncro
mesh transmission in the larger models. At the upper left is the driving compartment, showing the new instrument panel. Next is
a view of the Eight-in-Line engine, and at the right is one of the new sedans. Below is the roadster with wire wheel equipment.
The distinctive radiator cap with the figure eight is shown, and then the sturdy Buick chassis, with the valve-in-head motor. The
chassis is strongly braced, and is built of heavy metal throughout.

This was reported to the an
nual convention of the Assm'ta
lion of Ufe Insurance I'resitlents
liy J.'imi"! ee Loniis, president
of tho Connecticut Mutual J-ilo
Insurance company and chairman
of the convention.
The amount paid out this year,

He estimated that new life in
Hurance itmountlne to $ 1 S.aiio.OOO
would lie purchased by the p-ople
of the country during this year.
Aid for Needy.
These huge disbursements, I.oo
mis said, had lessened the effect
of the nnt'on-wide depression, and
represented the full value of every
contract obligation without di
minution. 'Of the total of J2.2O0.0o0. 000
t lie yum of $!.3Jr.oo.ooo will
hiivo been paid to llvim; policy
holders as dividends, matured en
dowments, nnmiilk'R, d i s n b 1 I i ty
benefits and cash surrender val
ues." hp said.
"The amount paid in cash sur
render value." will be larger than
usual this year. Occasions will
arise, particularly as in the cur
rent year, when all other resources
have 'failed, the policy-holder turns
to the surrender value of his in
mi ranee.
Serves Preying Need.
"Hut even here we mui ree
ttunizo conscious as we are ot
the loss of the protection involved
that life insurance is serving
press! np needs. The balance f
$75.O0O.0OO will be paid to the
tieneflcfnrien of deceased policy
holders.
Loom in emphasized that the
rapid growth of policy di-burse-ments
to the i2.i:oi.'nin,un pabl
out this year was double the
omnunt in 1 3.
Alluding to his forecast that
new life insurance this y.ar would
touch $1 R.Snn.non.Otin. he pointed
ut that this yum would exec d
by $1,100,000,000 the average year
ly purchase- for the preceding fiv-record-breaking
years and wis
1. sa than 4 per cent under the
previous hih water mark of l':'.
"Ci oil's in his heaven n nd all
right with the world." quoted Tax'
Commissioner John Carkin to the'
, Portland Uealty lioard and stated 1
.that in a tax way Oregon was in t
'no bad mess and that it was bet-'
ter off than most states," says the'
j Oregon Voter. j
! "J do not know where you would j
; go among the 47 othir Mates to -j
find a tax system that on the ,
whole is more favorable for in- j
dustiics, agriculture and property
owners gencrnliy," said ho. j
; "Most states stick to the old i
township assessment. In Oregon
we assess by counties, with a vast
improvement in efficiency com
pared with the antiquated town
ship method. Portland's assess
ment administration is better than
that in most largo cities of the
United States.
"Oregon's method of taxing
utilities is such that it yields much
heavier revenue than in most
stales, and it has been so handled
that S3, 000,000 is not tied up in
lawsuits as is the case in Wash
ington. "Our Oregon excise tax. with Its
offsets and real estate exemptions,
is lighter than in other states. No
stale tats corporations less equit
ably on the whole than does Ore
gon, or is less burdensome in its
administration.
"I Ti tangibles taxation is in dif
ficulty, but the legislature will
work that out. Our new income
tax compares well with t hat of
any state.
"Kqualization of assessments is
receiving state and county atten
tion In Oregon under laws which
are regarded as models. Sane
prorres is being made. On the
slates .similarly M united, especial-
, ly the younger states where ex
J penses run high in proportion to
1 population. Instead of advertising
an attitude of complaint and clam
' or, we really nhould find out what
j we have and brag about It.''
i What Carkin says is substantial
I ly true. Hut the need for tax re
! form does exist here, even if our
l situation is somewhat bettor than
. elsewhere. Taxation is the fore
i most subject for agitation lit all
i the states, with the possible ex
! ceptiou of tile Volstead act in wot
stales. The real reason for the
'agitation is that taxes have risen
to so high a point that the bur-
' den !s it It keenly. Oregon is no
i exception in that regard, and the
' best way to diminish tax agitation
is to set about constructive re
fnrin not forgetting that the size
I of lota I public expenditure m list
; have more attention than it has
had.
I lowever, we can stand a lot
more advertising of the real tax
advantages we now enjoy. In our
'agitation we ought to remind
ourselves that those advantages for T00 additional pounds follow
are genuine and that on the ing his sample of 100 pounds, with
whole in a tax way we are better ! information that if such quality
off than any othfti state in the I can bo assured, a new pruno nuir
west. ' kel has been established.

High Blood Pressure
TO WHOM IT MAY CONOKKX:
It is in part because of our attention having been repeatedly
drawn to tile really ularmlna: numbers of people in various walks
of life sulfcriiiK from hiKh blood pressure and seeking (for the
most parti vainly for cure or lor relief that I find myself not only
wIlliiiB but onner to make public; acknowledgment of a service
which in Hie case of my wife has brought about un absolutely
completo cure.
Mrs. Martin has been a sufferer from tills prevalent malady
for four or five years and in the effort to find a cure for her I
traveled with her to all tho eastern centers where there might
be held out some promise of un ellectlve remedy. Amongst others,
we went to Rochester, Minnesota, and Mrs. Martin was there
placed in the care of u nationally known specialist, but thero, as
elsewhere with Hpeclullsls whose capabilities had brought to them
a wide practice, we met with no satisfactory result.
Often as many as a dozen to a Bcore of times In a day, Mrs.
Martin was subject to hot flushes of blood to her head and throat
und became a victim to a nervous Henii hysterln rendering her
incapable of carrying on accustomed social and other functions.
Indigestion followed and this will) recurrent insomnia was rapid
ly bringing her to a state of chronic Invalidism.
It appears needless to assert that In this search for health I
expended thousands of dollars and mauy months In wearying and
disappointing ctTort. Then, hero in San Francisco, an acquaint
ance informed me of n positive cure of one known to him, through
taking tho Chinese herb treatment us administered by Chan and
Kong, mid it was reully more ns n last fading hope than of any
real belief In It efflcncy that I took my wire to their offices whore
she has been taking the remedies for about two months and Is al
ready restored to normal health. As a matter of fact, she appear
ed to he absolutely cured at tho cud of tho first fortnight, but Mr.
Chan advised that sho continue with him until he was thoroughly
sutisfied every trace of tho trouhlo had been eliminated.
Our homo is at Oil Leavenworth Street, Apartment 201, and
our feeling of gratitude to tills cupublo Chinese gentleman and
herb specialist is so sincere that it is our wish to gve to him our
heartiest endorsement and In so doing hope that other sufferers
may likewise find relief.
Yours very truly,
