'ongrossman Monlanuo Writes Tliat Protection Sought by General As Heinbly Has Been Provided. i\MH\DMKXT FINALLY ADOPTED Hill Changed on Motion of Virginia Member to Permit State to Con tinuo Taxing Carriers, and Meas ure Passed by lioth Houses. I'oiiBressman A". J. Montaguo assures, through a communication to^Clerk of the House of Delegate* John W. Wil-^ llamsi tho Clencrnl Assembly of Vir ginia that the l?l!la Introduced In Con gress for Federal control of railroads were s?o amended at bin suggest ioh that nothing :n them should amend, repeal, impair or affect tho existing iVs or l>ow? rs of tin* several States In rela tion to taxation of the carriers within iurli States. 1 ho Assembly of the State passed a ''(solution requesting the Virginia ? ^legation I Washington to have the !?ills amend. (I Just as was already done i>y Congressman Montague, and ex uressed the view tJiat Virginia would look with dismay upon any nation 'hat would tend to limit the State's i-lit to tax railroads. An amendment the resolution by the Senate to the 'ftci.t that In case of Federal owner ?hip after the conclusion of the war he State would expect a sum out of the profits to equal the amount of taxa lion, was rejected by the Ifouuo as bo ng a wink at Federal control. Fl iiaiiy the Senate accepted the action of the House. The llouse also rejected ?n amendment stating that the resolu tion had no reference to Kederal uwn rshlp of railroads, and the Senate also incurred in the action of the House n striking out that amendment. Following is the letter from Con gressman Montague: "I beg to acknowledge receipt on the ?th instant of the Joint resolution of h" General Assembly in relation to 'enate bill 27",and House bill ilT'j ? t the Copgress. beir.g bills for the ?"ederal control of railways, etc. "The Joint rcnolution Vails upon the representative of Virginia in both ;o'i?es of C'onpress to prepare and avor the insertion of a provision In lie bills aforesaid now b<*ing consid ered whereby the right arid power o! he States to tax such transportation systems fhall not bo abridged, in fringed. or affected.'

We are offering a limited number of men and women the biggest chance they ever had to invest AT THE START in a new industrial enterprise that presents such opportunities as were offered to those who invested EARLY in the Automobile, the Harvester, Tires, etc.?all the million-makers. This industry has an enormous market. It offers splendid profits. It is already PAST THE SPECULA TIVE PERIOD, as its future is practically assured by the orders already booked. This wonderful new field is that of BUILDING TRACTORS, the most needed and strongly en dorsed invention of the gasoline age. So great is the NEED for tractors that the government has called a meeting of the tractor manufacturers to be held in Washington to devise means to speed up the production of tractors. In 60 days this company actually did over one million dollars' worth of business. THE POWER WALL COMPANY Industrial Bankers i $100 Invested NOW May Mean Independence for Life Guaranteed Tractors Endorsed by Editor o! the National Banker Messrs. Power TVall Co., Industrial Bankers, Chicago, ill.: Gentlemen,? I believe you have a for tune-maker in Guaranteed Tractors. Is Is tho cleanest, higKest money-maker I havo ever seen. There is a market for over 3,000,000 of these tractors in the U. S. alone and many millions more -in other countries. 1 contra' ulato you on the timeliness of your enterprise and on tho splendid personnel and organization of Guaranteed Tractors, Inc. C. C. BOWSKIELD. Kditor National Hanker. NOTE?The National Banker Magazine is one of the country's greatest financial authorities. A dozen years ago the automobile industry was in its infancy. The men and women who invested in it then are to-day's new millionaires. They "Got in on the Ground Floor" when automobile stocks were still low. They have seen their hundreds grow into tens of thousands, they have reaped dividends that have amazed conservative financial men. TO-DAY THE TRACTOR BUSINESS OFFERS THE SAME CHANCES FOR ENORMOUS EARN INGS. It is YOUNG, but the lustiest indus trial infant ever given to the world. As an evidence of how automobile invest ments grew into fortunes in a short while the following table shows what $100 invest ed EARLY in automobile stocks returned: $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 in Reo returned in 12 years $11,905 in Hupp returned in 8 years.... 16,500 in Saxon returned in 2 years... 1,200 in Ford returned"in 12 years.. .250,000 in Ford (Canadian) returned.. 21,400 in Chandler returned in 3 years. in Stutz returned in 4 years in Overland returned in 5 years, in Chalmers returned in 3 years 3,500 4,500 33,000 2,162 in Chevrolet returned in 7 years 28,000 It is such profits as these that are offered by the immense possibilities of the tractor. It Is Bigger, Safer, Stronger and1 Capable of Larger and Quicker Profits Than the Automobile Business! It is BIGGER, because the initial field is larger. It is SAFER, because it is founded on an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY. It is STRONGER, because it is more legitimate, being based on a great utilitarian and economic need, the need for cheaper and better farm-power and lowered cost of crop production. It is capable of larger and quicker PROFITS, because the farm magazines have been pounding the gospel of EFFICIENCY to the farmer for years, and he is EAGER for this labor saving, money-saving, profit-building invention. The best proof of this is that the demand for tractors is about twenty times as large as the production. There Is an Immediate Market for Over Four Million Tractors! An authority on agricultural conditions de clared in the public prints the other day that there is an absolute necessity AT ONCE for FOUR MILLION TRACTORS. The total production of tractors in the United States to-day is perhaps less than 00,000. Only 60,000 tractors being built a year to meet a demand running into sev eral millions. Who can question the neces sity for MORE TRACTORS? To-day the world's greatest cry is for more food. The tractor enables the farmer to raise MORE CROPS. It replaces horses or mules that have to be supported by the soil. It takes five acres of land to support a horse or mule for a year (government statistics). The last census gave the num ber of horses and mules in the U. S. as 25,000,000. That means that 125,000,000 (ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MILLION) acres are needed to keep the horses and mules in working condition. This enormous acreage, if devoted entirely to raising foodstuffs, could add perhaps TWO BILLION BUSHELS OF GRAIN to the world's food supply and could win the war for the allies. No wonder the farmers want tractors and the government is doing all in its power to encourage the building of tractors. President of Guaranteed Tractors Predicts Profit of $1,250,000 This Year Feb. 1, 1918. Messrs. Power Wall Co. Industrial Bankers, Railway Exchange Buildingr. Chicago, 111.: Gentlemen,?In compliance with your request that I giv? you regular reports on sales of Guaranteed Tractors, I am pleased to be able to ad vise you that we havo now orders ^.nd contracts for about C.000 of our tractor attachments. Wo actually havo on hand a larger number of orders, but a few have not yet been confirmed. I honestly believe that if we could build 100,000 tractors this year we could easily sell them all, as wo have thousands of letters from all over tha world asking us how soon wo can make deliveries, and beg ging for more tractors. The C.000 tractor attachments already sold represent a net profit to the company of not loss than $300,000. If wo can produce CS.ono tractors this year the company profits should, I am sure, exceed ?1,"50,000. This is a pretty good showing for our first year in business.
