They All Praise Buick
Ask any garageman, any mechanic, in fact,
any person who knows motor cars, what he
thinks about Buick. Invariably he will tell
you that Buick is a thoroughly good, high
grade and dependable automobile and that a
person makes a genuinely satisfactory invest
ment when he buys one. Then ask the Buick
owners you know what they think about Buick.
Do these things and you will quickly under
stand why Buick has sold over one million mo
tor cars and why you, too, should own a Buick.
ticea hare been posted that .the
Treasury Department at Washington
would be glad te receive bids for the
building and that the plans could be
had from the local postmaster, ' or
from the department in Washington.'
The building is to be ef brick and
tile oenstruction," 62x64 feet and is
to cost $32,000.00. The government
appropriated the sum of $65,000.00
for a post office for Tbomaiville ia
1917. A site wss purchased which
cost the government $8,000.00,
leaving $47,000.00 for building pur
poses. The war came and new con
struction on government buildings
was stopped. Recently a bill was in
troduced in the house asking that

Mr. Mellon has been trying to reduce
taxes and that the Democrats have
been interfering with his benevolent
desires. This is doubtless due to the
efforts of many of the big newspapers
and magazines, owned by interests
which would benefit greatly by the
peculiar sort of tax reduction pro
posed by Secretary Mellon much re
duction for the very rich and a small
sop flung to the general public. The
Democrats have fought strongly for
the reduction of the favors to the mil
lionaires and an increase in the bene
fits to the people rated financially be
low the richest class. They have
tried to increase the exemption for
single men to $2,000 and to married
men to $3,000, and to reduce sharply
all income taxes, at the same time
giving a moderate reduction to the
wealthiest citizens. By their persis
tence the Democrats have been able
to affect a compromise in the House
bill which reduces below the Mellon
rates the taxes to be paid by almost
all classes. For this they deserve the
thanks of the country. The delays in
the legislation were necessary toiorce
these reductions, but the bill will
pass in ample time to give the people
the reductions on their taxes -for the
present .year. If the Republicans had
been willing to join the Democrats in
passing the resolution which the lat
ter proposed, taxes for the year just
past would have been reduced by 25
per cent ' i'

Mr. Daugherty is gone;- his going
was accompanied by neither regrets
nor flowers, from the White House
or anywhere else. President Coolidge
eased himself, his administration and
Mr. Daugherty down by" asking the
latter to step out because of his atti
tude in the small matter of allowing
the investigating committee to exam
ine papers from the Department of
Justice. In this way the President
side-stepped discussion of the grave
and outrageous charges of mal-ad-ministration
on the part of a great de
partment of his own household. It is
the only time since he entered the
White House that he has really been
called upon for a distinct and im
portant utterance on a great subject,
and there is a profound conviction
that he side-stepped. When he de
livered his message at the opening of
unrres8 ne asxed lor nftv-seven dif
ferent sorts of important legislation,
certainly knowing that there was
small chance that as many as seven of
them would be enacted into law. He
seems to have recommended to Con
gress everything that anyone sug
gested, excepting the soldiers' bonus.
Of all the many things asked of Con
gress, just one has passed the Hones
tax reduction. The one thine he
boro.

and Harding lacked force in leader

There ia a growing Impression that
his silence is not the silence ef -Grant,

rather the silence of that timidity
which comes from known weakness
and a confusion of mind as -to what to
