Ore- gonians, the plan Is giving general sat- isfaction, +, Oregon is the first of the states to try out a gasoline tax, and while this is.not in lieu of all other taxes, the car owner is not compelied to nettle on a personal property listing as well as on the so- called registration tax based on horsé- power rating. ~ ~The new Oregon law went into effect March 1, 1919, and for the ten-month period up to January 1, 1920, there was collected from some $0,000 automobiles $200,795, which represents a tax of 1 cent a gallon on motor vehicle fuel and 1-2 cent a gullon on distilate, 1t is estimated that the 1920 revenue will exceed half a million dollars, Continuing, American Motorist says: “True it is—and absolutely true—that highways confer a general advantage to all classés of citizens, and in consé- quence all classes should’ pay for the form ‘recently deviied by The Eqnitable, and is considered the most wonderfal Insurance of its kind in history, For appointment phone 196J or 1192, or call at office, 3-27-5t —_—_——_ ‘ CASPER-OSAGE COMPANY TIMES.

This is the Driver Under the Hood This is the wonderful, patented automatic device found only on Clydesdale Trucks that has created so much interest thruout the motor truck industry. Are you mechanically inclined? Then, you jocardar anche’ ani idionpaelric eed ap rae device accomplishes such important work. A-centrifugal governor is attached to the throttle rod thru a lever and a spring. The pull between the spring and the centrifugal governor is balanced. — ‘ Changing the throttle lever changes the tension on the spring, thus changing the motor and truck speed. Suppose that the truck comes to an up- grade or a stretch of sand? Ordinarily the motor would slow down unless the throttle were changed. “The Driver Under The Hood” changes it automatically. As the centrifugal governor starts to slow up, the balance between the spring and the governor is destroyed. - Consequently, the spring begins to pull the throttle open, which admits more gas to the motor, giving it more power, restoring the balance between the spring and the governor and thus keeping the truck going at the fixed trate of speed. When the truck strikes the process is.reversed. ~ No complications—no extra valves in the manifold, such as are necessary with ordinary governors. Consequently, no loss of power. It will last the life of the truck and save hundreds of dollars in gasoline bills, deprecia- tion and over-hauling charges. It is found only on Clydesdale trucks. And there are other money saving features which are exclusive with the Clydesdale. No other truck has the massive Clydéstiale type of copper tube radiator. No other American built truck follows so closely the design of the London General Omnibus Truck—acknowled@ged to be the most famous, the most economical, and the most durable truck in the world.
