easiest riding vehicles on 

 country roads are I H C Auto 

 Buggies for these reasons: 

 High wheels protect occupants 

 from jars when going over rocks, clods or bumps. The same size clod 

 or obstruction of any kind naturally offers more resistance to the low 

 than to the high wheel. In plain language, the low wheels must jump 

 over the high wheels roll over. That's one big advantage of high 

 wheels. It means not only greater comfort but less jar and jolt to 

 the working parts of car. 



For Business and Pleasure 



this is the ideal vehicle. Simplest to operate, costs less to keep than 

 one horse, travels from 1 to 20 miles an hour over hills, through mud, 

 snow, over any roads. Front wheels are 40 inches high, rear wheels 

 44 inches. Equipped with roller bearings and solid rubber tires, \% 

 inches wide. I H C Auto Buggy wheels do not damage roads any more than 

 the ordinary spring wagon wheels. Solid tires mean no punctures, no "blow 

 out," no delays, no heavy repairing and replacing expense. Full elliptic springs; 

 ,36 inches long and 1% inches wide, also long wheel base, add to easy riding 

 qualities. Send for proofs. Learn what other farmers think of this car. See 

 your local dealer, or write the International Harvester Company of America at 

 nearest branch house for further information concerning this car, and if you 

 are interested in a light delivery wagon ask for information on the International 

 Auto Wagon. This vehicle has the same features of construction as the Auto 

 Buggy and is equally efficient in its service.

Now that Mr. Garfield has commit- 

 ted himself and the anti-Ballinger fol- 

 lowing of Pinchot's to opposition to 

 Taft's proposed $30,000,000 irrigation 

 bond issue, the Great West feels anew 

 the heavy hand of Pinchotism that 

 has locked up vast areas of tillable 

 land from settlement and that now 

 would allow great tracts of arid land 

 to remain desert for want of a rela- 

 tively small bond issue. 



This business is opening the eyes 

 of the West to the knowledge that the 

 whole Pinchot-Garfield-Glavis scheme 

 is directed by Eastern influences that 

 care nothing for Western aspirations 

 for progress and would keep the tim- 

 ber regions of the West a wilderness 

 and the arid regions a desert. 



President Taft and Secretary Bal- 

 Hnger have urged the bonds as a 

 means of providing funds for comple- 

 tion of irrigation projects, for which 

 sale of public lands does not supply 

 sufficient money, under the national 

 reclamation act. Oregon and Wash- 

 ington know something about the . 

 scarcity of reclamation money. Ore- 

 gon, for example, though one of the 

 largest contributors to the reclamation 

 fund through sale of public lands, gets 

 but small share of the funds for 

 projects in its border. When it asks 

 for its just share, so that reclamation 

 of its arid lands may proceed, it gets 

 the answer: "Wait till adequate funds 

 are available." 



The public lands of the West, under 

 the Pinchot anti-settlement policy, no 

 longer are an asset of Western pro- 

 duction of wealth. Settlers are barred 

 from agricultural lands both inside 

 and outside reserves, and there is lit- 

 tle encouragement of arid land recla- 

 mation. It is time that Western 

 states were making themselves heard 

 through their senators and representa- 

 tives in Congress/ Portland Ore- 

 gonian.
