Au editorial recently appeared in these columns calling attention to the fact that Governor Hodges, of Kansas, had advocated a commission plan of government for that state. Yesterday, a bill \va introduced into the Minnesota house which would provide for such a commission. It is backed by Speaker Ranes and is the joint work of the speaker, V?. I. No- lan, his floor leader, and Henry Pless. The bill provides for submission to the people of tine 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. Tl state auditor is made the accounting and auditing officer of the state. The bill provides that tihe 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 division. The naming of the divis- ions is left to the legislature, but it is provided in the bill that one 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 left to the legislature, the proposed amendmeuit carrying a provision that t!h legislative may., adopt "appropri- ate" laws to carry out. the general plan. To Gettysburg. At Gettysburg, back in sixty-three, Minnesota was famous as state could be Her boys in homespun carried the day, They held the pick of the south at bay: They fought like devils, they did their best. God bless all those that have gone to rest. Never did bard or heroes sing Who louder did freedom's tocsin ring: Theiir deeds grew brighter year by year. Of greater fighters now we hear: The gods will weep and men will laugh Those heroes are on the governor's staff. Where the old heroes fought and bled Sweet freedom raised he-r drooping head. Go back, sH 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 VVefald, Rep. from Haw- ley, Minn. Rates Will Be Held Up. Chaises B. Cheney, political writer of the Minneapolis Journal, has the following to say about the Cashman distance tariff bill: "The distance tariff has a hard road ahead, after its six year strug- gle for passage. First, it has to be signed by the governor. While Gov- ernor Eberbant would like-to.vetiO it,' -he probably will not, as he would run against a tremendous fire of 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, 0 4 P^JW^^^^. ^yigyjiyys^i which would hold the measure and the new rates up for three or four years at least.: This is on the as- sumption that the United States su- preme court reverses the Sanborn de- cision. If the higher court sustains Judge Sanborn's view that the state rates interfere wiitlh-interstate *S Northwestern Distributor* com- merce the Cashman bill would be ab- solutely null and void. If the final decision 'holds the mooted Minnesota POWER OF THE SSSSSSSBSSSSSSSBSSSSSSSSSSSBSBSSSSSSSSSSSSS|SSMS1S^ THE BEMlDil DAILY P10HEEB rates confiscatory, then the railroad commission will be hard put to it to devise a schedule of rates under the Oashman bill that would not actual- ly advance- the present rates in a great many cases.

Such successsuch poweras the Mitchell is famous for, got the ear of the public, and then the money. And gradually other makers sat upand pondered. Result was they're now in line, making long stroke motors. They'd hate probably refuseto admit the Mitchell in- fluence in their change of front It isn't neccessary that they shouldthe facts tell the story. These other factories are NOW where the Mitchell company was FOUR YEARS AGOfeeling their waytrying 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 Hitchell does NOW. We're not predicting they will equal the Mitchell priceswe'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 pacepointing the waythey know they are STILL WAY AHEAD. Have you read the sizes of Hitchell motors for 1013? If so, you know the Hitchell motors for 1913? If so, you know the Hitchell makers have taken a still longer step for ward. Cylinders in 1013 Mitchell cars are 4 by 6 and 4 1-4 by 7. These Hotors CHALLENGE THE AMERICAN MARKET FOR POWER Leaving out prices compare these motors WITH ANY CAR MADE. We don't exclude the extremfy high pricedthe 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 3 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 favorand 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. Allthey can say is this: "It's too much for the money/' This remark is good for YOU to remember. We know it is BIG valuebut not TOO MUCH according to Mitchell standards of value.

And its all because of the still further develop^ ment oj long stroke motors by the HitchelI 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. From the cheapest to the dearest they're using them. All these companies hand the cake to the Mitchell. Their adoption.of the long stroke is significent. Its a pointblank admission that the Mitchell idea is RIGHT. The Mitchell company led the way in America. Long stroke motorsand powerwere the watchwords, the ear- marks, of Mitchell cars. Other makersstaid-in a rut perhapslet 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 faithdislodged their time worn theories?
