XAROLD J. DANE, Editor. A State Commission. An editorial recently appeared in these columns calling attenfion to the fact that Governor Fodges, of Kansas, had advooated a commission plan of government for that state, Yesterday, a bill was introduced into the Minnesota house which would provide for such a commission. 1t is backed by Speaker Rines and is the Jjoint work of the speaker, W. I. No- lan, his floor leader, and Henry Pless. The bill provides for submission to the people of the state of a constitu- tional amendment creating a state executive department to consist of a governor, lieutenant governor, audi- tor and four commissioners, and pro- viding that the governor and the four commissioners shall make up the state commission and have general supervision of the executive depart- ments of the state. Under the proposed amendment, the terms of the governor and lieu- tenant governor would be two years, while those of the four commission- ers and the auditor would be four years. The state auditor is made the accounting and auditing officer of the state. The bill provides that the commis- sion, consisting of the governor and tour commissioners, shall have power to appoint all officers provided by the law or constitution and to fill all va- cancies. The executive department would be divided into four divisions and a commissioner would head each ion. The naming of the divis- left to the legislature, but it is provided in the bill that oue of the divisions shall have custody of the | state schools and the other lands. The commission would constitute the state investment board. " Details of the commission plan are lett to the legislature. the proposed | amendment car the I ying a provision that laure may adopt “appropri- ate” laws To carry out the general plan. To Gettysburg. At Gettyshurg, back in sixty-three, Minnesota was famous as state could be; Her boys in homespun carried the day, They leld the pick of the south at bay: They fought like their best. God bless all those that have gone to devils, they did rest. s Never did bard or heroes sing Who louder did freedom’s toesin ring: . Their deeds grew year. OF greater fighters now we hear: brighter year by The gods will weep and men will laugh— Those heroes are on the governor's staff. Where the old lieroes fought and bled Sweet freedom raised her drooping ‘head. Go back, sit down, old boys in blue; The staff pulled Adolph Olson through. In line, old boys, bring up the rear, Give them a hearty, lusty cheer, The governor and his gold-laced staff; Don’t mind that all. the . rest will laugh. —Knud Wetald, Rep. from Haw- ley, Minn. Rates Will Be Held Up. Charles B. Cheney, political writer of the Minneapolis Journal, has the following to say about the Cashman distance tariff bill: “The distance tariff has road ahead, after its six year strug- First, it has to be While Gov- ~ grpor Eberhant would. like-to veto it a hard gle for passage. ‘he probably will not, as he ‘would | which would hold the measure: and | rates confisca then the railroad Tun against a tremendous fire of the new rates up for three or four |commission will be hard put to it to criticism that might be fatal-to his, political ambitions. The bill as drawn takes effect Jan. 1, 1914, but it is up to the railroad commission then to| prescribe a new: schedule of rates ac-| cording to distance, .to become the rigid rule in Minnesota. That would be the signal for the railroads to be- gin action in the federal courts, years at least. This is on- the as- sumption that the United States su- preme court reverses the Sanborn de- 1t the higher court sustains Judge Sanborn’s view that the state rates interfere with’ interstate! com- merce the Cashman bill would be ab- solutely null and void.

Any schedule reducing present rates materially ‘would be held up in._ocourt for some years.

And its all because of the still further develop- ment of long stroke motors by the [litchell company=-=--the pioneer long stroke makers in America. Also, we’re going to crow, right here and now, over this long stroke business. Our predictions made a year ago of ‘A stampede to long stroke motors’’ have happened. Just look at the cars NOW having long stroke motors. these companies hand the cake to the Mitchell. that the Mitchell idea is RIGHT. ! The Mitchell company led the way in America. Long stroke motors—and power—were the watchwords, the ear- marks, of Mitchell cars. Other makers—staid—in a rut perhaps—let pass unheeded the plain handwriting on the wall. They stuck by their guns season after season until their cherished ideas came crumbling down about their ears. What shook the foundations of their faith—dislodged their time worn theories? THE LONG STROKE MOTORS OF THE MITCHELL From the cheapest to t-.he dearest they’re using them. All Their adoption.of the long stroke is significent. Its a pointblank admission We knew it would come—this stampede to get on the band wagon. Such success—such power—as the Mitchell is famous for. got the ear of the public, and then the money. And gradually other makers sat up—and pondered. Result was they’re now in line, making long stroke motors. They’d hate probably refuse---to admit the Mitchell in- fluence in their-change:of front: It:isn’t neccessary that they should---the facts tell the story. - These other factories are NOW where the Mitcheil company was FOUR YEARS AGO---feeling their way---trying: it out==-moving slowly in the development of their long stroke motors. Being human they will make mistakes but if they stick to it, some day in the FUTURE they will give you the power the litchell does NOW. We’re not predicting they will equal the Mitchell prices---we’re speaking of long stroke power. And in this power question they have a long ways to go to equal the Mitchell. . Mitchell designers have a right to chuckle for, besides setting the pace---pointing the way---they know they are STILL WAY AHEAD. : . Have you read the sizes of Ilitchell motors for 19137 If so, vou know the itchell motors for 19137 If so, you know the Mitchell makers have taken a still longer step forward. Cylinders in 1913 Mitchell cars are: 4 by 6 and 4 1-4 by 7. These [lotors ) CHALLENCE THE AMERICAN MARKET FOR POWER . Leaving out prices compare these motors WITH ANY CAR MADE. Wedon't exclude the-extremfy high priced---the class-cars. THERE IS MORE POWER in. these 1913 Mitchell motors than you'll find anywhere else. Piston displacement governs power; economy, long life, flexibility, and ease of handling come from the long stroke if properly designed. Mitchell motors are properly designed. They are the T-head type. This year they have a LONGER STROKE THAN EVER. - They give MORE POWER THAN EVER. . : $1500 models; 4 cylinders 4 1-4 by 7, called 40 h. p. give 53 on block test, 397.21 cu. inches piston displacement. $1850 ‘models, 6 cylinders 4 by 6, called 50 h: p. give 62 on block test, 452.34 cu. inches piston displacement. $2500 ‘model, 6 cylinders 4 1-4 by 7, called 60 h. p. gives 81 on block test, . 595.82 cu. inches piston displacement. HOW TO FIND CUBIC INCH PISTON DISPLACEMENT Square the bore of the cylinders; multiply the product by .7854; multiply this by the number of cylinders. You know the. motor size of some favorite make of car. If you don't, find out. Then work out the piston displacement by the: above formula. We would do it for you only the result would be ALL IN THE MITCHELLS favor—-and- might be construed as a *“knock.” We want you to do it yourself-—-that will bring home to you the fact of Mitchell motor supremacy. . Mitchell power is as far in advance as Mitchell motor design has been. Its quite a natural condition. Now for one criticism. It comes from competitors. All they can say isthis: “It's too much for the money.” This remark is good for YOU to remember. ’ We know it is BIG value-—but not TOO MUCH according to Mitchell standards of value.
