THE CACTUS FLAT CATAMOUNT LAURENCE LOCKNEY, Editor EDITORIAL COMMENT The rapacious inroads of the professional hijacker must be thwarted. His foraging forays must be prevented by a law with teeth in it or by a righteous uprising of the law-abiding citizenry of our whole fair country. The hijacker is not a producer, he pays no taxes, he has no place in organized bus- iness, and his only method of piling up riches for himself and his pos- terity lies in robbing honest boot- leggers of the labor of a life time. He is undermining this great insti tution that has taken some of the best brains of the country ten years to build up. The very foun dation of the constitution is being rocked by the hijacker’s unscrupul ous and unfair methods of doing business. Our great cities have learned to depend upon the closal industrial bootlegacy and it would be a calamity indeed for this gi gantic enterprise to lose its power in the land. Where would Chicago be '‘Without its great army or boot leggers? Where would Sanfrancisco be without its rum fleet, Write to your congressman giving him your views on the hijacker and his heinous deeds. Implore your con gressman to work for an amend ment to the constitution making hijacking a felony punishable by arrest.

Buick interiors are as modish as exquisite drawing-rooms—as harmoniously colored —and as comfortable. Buick's new Fisher bodies are low- swung without any loss of head-room or road-clearance. And so, down to the smallest detail of construction, wherever refinements could be made, Buick has made them. Again Buick has improved upon Buick. Again the standard for the year is set.
