It speaks for itself, Every E-M-F car is backed up by a definite promise the most liberal in motordom. Not only the car but the equipment as well aside from tires, which are guaranteed by the manufacturers are included in its provisions. Don't be misled by trickily-worded promises that warrant cars for indefinite periods. Some of these "guar antees," carefully analyzed, really mean nothing. The conventional 90-day guarantee is a relic of antiquity a legacy of the days when the motor car was an ex periment, not a standard, staple article. The E-M-F guarantee is a definite promise for a definite period ONE WHOLE YEAR. Manufacture of a car like this at a figure that'makes possible the quoted selling price is the industrial achievement of the age. It is an achievement possible to no other manufacturer of motor cars.

That condition in the fuel problem may come to pax if the plan of Walter I.. Finder, Secretary of the In terior, are carried out.

The re cent decision at Portland in the Ore gon and California caae, and at Spo kane in the Houghton caae. will smooth the way to settlement of the Alaska coal claims. Secretary Fisher wishes to hasten the court proceedings in the ATDM SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS FOREST RESERVE LAW AND UPHOLDS RULES Court Says Uncle Sam May Prohibit Graz ing or Fix Terms for Allowing Ii, and Stockmen Must Keep Stock Off Washington, May 1.- The legal bat tle against the forest reserve of the West in particular and Federal conser vation of natural resource in general wa lost to day in the Supreme Court of the United States. That tribunal not only upheld the constitutionality of the establishment of the reserve for any National and public purjiose. but It settled once for all that the Federal Government and not the state may say how the reser ves shall be used. The immediate results of the deci sion are that Fred Light, a Colorado cattle man, will remain enjoined from allowing hi cattle to graze on the Holy Cros forest reservation In Colo ratio, and that Pierre Grimaud, K. P. Carajous and Antonio Imla, Califor nia sheepmen, must anwser to the in dictment charging them with grazing sheep upon the Sierra forest reserve without a permit. The subject was dealt with in two opinions delivered by Justice Lamar. The entire court concurred. The basic pricnciple ujwn which he proceeded, was that "the Nation is an owner and has made Congress the principal agent to diajiose of it property." The United States can prohibit graz ing or fix the terms on which it prop erty may be used," said the Justice in the Colorado caae. "As it can withold or reserve the land, it can do so indefinitely. It is true the United States do not and cannot hold property as a monarch may for private and per sonal means. Hut that docs not lead to the conclusion that it is without the rights incident to ownership, for the Constitution declares that "Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory of property be Alaska canes, but can do nothing effec tive until the Supreme Court has heard the Government's appeal in the Stracy cases, of which the hearing, in spite of IN Al TO A7 OP? II W W I T. E. BERNARD longing to the United States. "All the public land i held by the United State in trust for . the whole people and it is not for the court to say how that trust shall be administer ed -that is for Congress to say." Among the defenses made by Light was the one that the formation of the Holy Cross reserve, without the con sent of the State of Colorado, was un constitutional. Throughout the contest, the Federal Government claimed that when Light turned his cattle onto his ranch, ad joining the forest reserve, they follow ed the well-defined cattle traits, in or der to obtain grass and water, directly to the reserve, where there existed su perior grass and water supply. Such a practice, the Government contended, was tanamount in law to Light driving the cattle onto the reserve. I The defense pointed out that the re serve had not been fenced by the Gov ernment, and a Colorado law provided that no person should recover dama ges for trespass unless the lands were fenced. 1 The Government retorted that the ' fence law applied only to individuals, and not to the State of Colorado "or to the United States. If it were meant to ' apply to the United States, the law was unconstitutional. J So widespread was the interest in the case and so vital was the question in volved that the State of Colorado threw itself into the contest. Attorney .

In the. sheep men's caae the court held that regula , tions of the Secretary of Agriculture requiring permits to graze stock on 1 forest reserves was not an unconstitu 1 tional exercise of executive power. every effort to the contrary, has been delayed until the October term.

Secretary Fisher is preparing for a thorough survey of the great coal field of Alaska something which has never been undertaken. The" geological sur vey has made some estimates and ex pert have guessed at what the coal areas amount to; but up to the present time there has not been a real scienti fic expedition to learn the value of the measures that are said to be the most extensive and the most valubale in the world. Information hitherto gathered as to the coal deposits has been merely incidental work of the Forestry Service or of the Geological Survey. fight!owfor naw land office Washington, D.C., May 3. Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern, j favors Madras as the site of the pro posed new land office in central Ore gon He writes : "Matdas is the present terminus of the Oreogn Trunk railroad, which pro bably will be extended south. Settlers are going in in numbers of from 50 to 57 daily. I think Madras will serve all the interests best." The contest between Madras, Bend, Redmond and Prineville grows quite interesting. Telegrams and letters are pouring in upon the Oregon Congress ional delegation with ardent pleas for recognition of each town for the new office. Some argue that Prineville is too far away from the rairoad to be suit able. Others believe Madras is too far south. It seems likely in the opinion of some that the fifth standard parallel running east and west will be the southern boundary of the new land district, all north of that so far as nec essary to accomodate central Oregon ians. to be included. Senator Chamber lain will introduce a bill providing for the new district, but has. not decided what boundaries to name. La Vogue garments never disap point.

An effort will lie made to place the Oregon Califor nia land grants into the state school land holdings if it is eventually de termined that the railroad company must surrender ownership of these properties. Superintendent of Public Instruction Alderman has written to Representa tive Willis C. Hawley asking if it might not be possible to have these lands placed in the hands of the school land board, providing the government is finally successful in contesting it claims. He calls Mr. Hswley's attention to the fact that in the state school fund at the present time there is the sum of $6,038,000, wnile the state of Washing ton boast of a similar fund amounting to $34,000,000. He states in writing that the fund would probably do away with the county school tax entirely, even if the state is required to pay $2.50 an acre for the lands to the gov ernment. 2 ''Oregon being settled early it failed to keep its hold on the lands and jthe policy of tying up our lands as prac ticed by our government has .kept out settlers. Should it be possible for the school land board to secure these lands it would place the system of the state on a practically self-sustaining basis. The landa could be sold andthe money placed as a portion of the prin cipal in the irreducible school fund which would result in doing away with the necessity of the county school tax entirely." Oregon Not In It Seven hundred and fifty-three bills passed at the last session of the Cali fornia Legislature have becomelawa. The last of them was signed and turned' over by Governor Johnson to the Sec retary of State last week, bringing the total for the last day to more than 250. Important among the bills that were carried were the' industrial education bill, the Hamilton net container bill, the teacher's pension bill, the automo bile monthly tax bill, by which it was planned to increase the annual reve nue of the state $300,000. and the vari ous claims of the legislators, including that of Senator Wolf, of San Francisco, for $4500 for investigation of the high cost of living, and that of Senator Curtain for $6600 for work on the new tax laws.
