However, tn making his entries, Chevrolet did not select a driver for any of the cars.

Louis is anxious to put across another winner this year, as not only will he hav the distinction of winning more races than any - other maker, but will sloe have won every one of the class events. The two victories of Chevrolets car hav been unexpected in the early- - portions of the races. On both occasions Ralph de Palma set a grueling pace i the early miles and in 1220 Joe Boyer led with a Frontenac for half the race, only to drop out and give th lead to De Palma, who, In turn, surrendered It to Gaston Chevrolet. Jn the 1921 race, Milton's car had been giving trouble in practice and the speed king was not at all certain of his opportunities to annex prise money when tire race started. How. ever, Chevrolet worked out a plan for the race and Tommy drove a steady, un p.wtacular race for more than half the distance. He could have given Chevrolet the trade record had he known he was so near De Palma's average of 81 84 miles, finishing the grind with an average of driver-engine- MotoiL-Associatio- 89.6. Constitution and Adopted by Pioneers of the Automobile Industry. By-La- Special to The Tribune. CHICAGO, III.. Feb. IS. and ns Farm Organizations J)U Plan. Bonus approve t The Tribe ns, WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. That th particular tag program fixed by th Heuse ways and means committed to pro vidq soldier bonus funds Is not going to be railroaded through congress as promptly as tome of its proponents desire Is indicated by the fact that already four have decared their huge organization emphatic opposition to it and are now proceeding to resist it with every ounce of strength and influence at their command. These are the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Grange, the American Automobile association and the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Acfording to American Antnmnhlia. as sedation officials, this formidable array of oppoeltion will be augmented by three Borne other big national organizations. o9 these organizations have announced opposition to the program in its entirety, while others will confine their efforts to defeating the proposed two additional forma of taxation to be put on the motor car. According to figures furnished by th A. A. A., motorists last year paid in automobile taxes approximately 3333,000,090, which, officials of. the .organization aa sort, represents excessive and unfair tax ation. Th additional tax program, it carried out, would add to this sum annually for an uncertain number of years and would tend to cripple a great American industry as well as deprive countless small business enterprises of the us of an invaluable commercial utility. Special -- 00 Officials of the National Grange state that almost 60 per cent of this special taxation would fall on the farmer of the country who r already at the bottom of the income dadder In respect to prices they receive for their products. National Automobile Chamber bf Commerce officials state that any more tax on the automobile would be the proverbial last straw for the Industry in that it would seriously affect the further sales of automobiles, believing that the arrav of various taxes a prospective purchaser would face would frighten him out of buying. Any further crippling of the automobile industry would. It is pointed out, mean additional unemployment. Highway building would also be seriously retarded, according to the A. A, A., for the reason that those persons who already own ears would balk, at all proposed local taxation for this purpose, and a three-yenow slump in would require vast eums of money later and ten years of time for this Important work to regain its present equilibrium. All interests feel that they should be heard before the senat finance and house wks and mean committee take meaany definite action upon so drastic a sure Hearings, Chairman Fordney told representatives of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and the A. A. A. after nnnouncement of the program, could not be had. On this point the four named organizations Intend to take fssue with those In charge of the program. els Inning that the plan was developed lira lea .1 overnight and that every legislative and technical expedient is being empiojed to railroad it through congress. According to President George C. Diehl of the A. A. A., It is the most highhanded procedure the motorist of th Country have ever faced and will not be tolerated if 19,000.000 substantial American citizens can prevent it.' giya JnyidAo-euch-nWntraa- Old-time- rs toastmaster, and Captain,E4die V. vice president, all gave prominence to th real objects of ye old- timer in forming th club A there has' started a .very pronounced boom in membership, mailed to F.

The problem in connection therewith was to find a basis for distribution of stock that would be equitable to all manufacturers particloating in the combine. As far as the 3300.00U of preferred stock is concerneo: the problem is simple. It end could, at 3100 would be per share, be offered to the public. By 8 cent cumulative per dividends, paying being preferred a to assets and redeemable at 3110 at any time after 1927, ihe preferred shares should find a ready market.

At the Show see these new Nash models . a complete line and wide range of selection of cars. There are eleven hew and distinct body styles . Members to HoId Shares. Every company in the combine must purchase as a minimum twenty shares of common "stock valued at 32000. In addition, further shares must be bought by each participating company on the basis of value of production in 1920. For each million dollars or fraction thereof of value of his 1920 production, each participating manufacturer Is called Upon to purchase an additional share of common stock. This arrangement appears equitable for the reason that the firm having a large business will. In most cases, equally have a large export business, and consequently, employ .. the ..facilities . of,. the. combine to a. greater extent than those firms with smaller domestic business. Dividends on common stock would be de. dared regularly, if consistent with sound business podev, so as to equalise advantages of combine to all. A company receiving less export business than another would be partly compensated by dividends to be paid, if poeeib, at the rate of 10 per cent annually. Each share of common stock gives th holder cumulative voting power, which varies according to the number of directors to be selected. In the case of the combine as here suggested, there would be eight director. The holder of a common stock share would have eight votes, which he could consolidate In selection of one director or distribute over select-oof several. The advantage of cumulative voting I evident. Several of the larger N. A., C. C. members will receive more shares of common stock because of their greater production than the amalier firm. The latter. however, can consolidate their cumulative vote and thus be assured always of th o.boerrbuL dlmdmsa. xmns elgnt urfccton, one, natural!, be would chosen as president, another to fill the office of both- fr4-wto- e 'president and treasurer, and another still to be both second vice president and secretary.
