Official City, State and County Newspaper) rh eel Bismarck’s First Auto Show Bismarck has forged ahead until now ‘it is one of the leading automobile ibuting centers of the Northwest. A perusal of the columns of this ; edition, made possible by the enterprising dealers of Bismarck, will show the great variety of the in- :-xlustry in this city. Few cities of double or treb- Je the population have as fine plants for the di: ¢itribution of cars and accessories as Bismarck. Excellent service stations are maintained as valu- : able complements of the sales department. In} _ sertice and sales, Bismarck takes a high rank in “the automobile trade and an exceptionally large | territory looks to the Capital City for a source of t ‘supply. £2 Last month, Burleigh county registered 157 new ‘cars and only two counties in the state exceeded { this record for Januarye The fifteen counties gen- ‘erally regarded as Bismarck territory registered 529 new cars in January, merely an indication of , the business prospects for 1926. It is hard to visualize the extent of the automo- _abile business done in Bismarck each year. Take * for instance the volume of 1925. In that year there {were 516 carloads of automobiles shipped into this ‘city. Many cars were driven from factories under their own power as a result of sales made by Bis- ‘marck dealers. So far this year 89 carloads of automobiles have been shipped to this city. " Autcmobile business done in Bismarck in 1925 #yreached nearly the $3,000,000 mark. The exact total was $2,810,032 as against $1,118,984 in 1924 hese "sures reflect an increase of 66 per cent, an thie will go back into the syetem and afford em- ployment for labor and capital.

Editorial Comment. | The New Amendment (Chicago Journal of Comnierce) The short session of congress seems a doomed | institution. It is almost certain that before the present session of congress ends, a proposed con- stitutional amendment will have ‘been submitted to the states to inaugurate the president and the| vice-president in January instead of the following |’ March, and to convene congress in January mstead of the following December. If such an amendment is submitted, it will be overwhelmingly approved by the states, The senate, by a vote of 73 to 2, has approved a resolution for an amendment that would have con- | gress meet the first Monday in January and have the inauguration of the president andthe vice- president take place fourteen days‘ later. The house committee on election of president and con. gress reported favorably on ‘a resolution for an amendment that would have congress ‘meet on Janu- ary 4 and have the inauguration take place Janu- ary 24. These resolutions are not far apart. It may confidently -be gxpected that one of these, or THE. BISMARCK TRIBUNE: : STATEMENT GIVES i Where Angels YIELD OF 1925 CROPS IN STATE H. O.

Charles Clifton, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, in a recent in- 'terview declared that the family which lacks motor, transportation is deprived of some possibilities of ‘fnodern civilization. : “Automobile leaders and in many cases Govern- i ment officials in most parte of the world,” said . Colonet*Clifton, “are alive to the fact that the {spread Sf motor transportation to the point where vevery family has a car is an ideal which will spell “@eonomic well--being and more satisfying life’ for ithe. individual. ‘The automobile business has been ‘founded not primarily on astute salesmanship but ign the fact that the car ministers to the universal “Ruman desire for increasing the mobility of man. “This international movement: recognizes that the Gutomobile is a democratic’ institution, that it makes Fe vailable national resources, creating ‘wealth ‘so ; that the masses of the people can afford their own }notor. transportation. < “We have had ‘some experience in the United ijtates in the “way of highway planning, taxation servicing which may be helpful to other lands iH we are glad to place this information at their iadisposal. : 3 +, fi: ¥e expect to learn'a great deal about the ways “of our neighbors abroad atid hope to ‘see a tremen- + “ious inerease in. the manufacture, sale and use of 4 motor vehicles, bectuse we know that by: concen- Strating.on’the maximum service at the’ lowest pos- ‘ cont motor: travel will increase and there will more business for all.” net Under the law, Secretary Davis’ explains, no discretionary power, and the countess of Cath- cart cannot enter the United States. This, let us hope, will put an end to the’ tempest in‘a teapot aroused when the countess foreed her case upon immigration officials. If she had put an “S” on the application blank for entry, indicating she is not married, no doubt she would ‘have been landed | - without ado. Why should she’ have written in a “D,” to indicate that she had been divorced? Why did she not put in an “E,” indicating that she is engaged to be matried again, as she says she is? Of course, if our immigration authorities had been smarter, they, would not have pressed th: countess for details. For when she readily admitted “an act of moral turpitude” the law as they see |, it left them no choice, though it is argued that the countess’ misbehavior is no crime in England. There is nothing the matter with that law; it gives’ of- ficials power to keep out really undesirable aliens. The trouble in this instance is onty that the officials permitted themselves. to be maneuvered by the countess into looking ridiculous, but no more so than some who have wept over the countess’ predica- ment and talked as though the affair were a great national crisis. . So the countess is invited. to depart, no doubt consoled by thought of valuable’ publicity -of her books and the play she warits to get on Broadway. The ccopntess'is a clever woman, One ‘sensible suggestion comes out of it all. It is’ proposed: that'‘the granting of d ‘Visa to a ¢rav- eler‘ shaff in future end the quéstioning of visitor. about their past lives, when y reach New Yorl: It would, indeed, be much better to have the thing done quietly overseas and so'avoid any future hys- | téria, such as ‘have been: exhibited in'some quarters | since thé cousitess began making page 1 of our metropolitan newspapers. : kai : he has | that.
