TWO ROADS’ RETURNS
West Point’s and Southern’s
Figures Sent Back by
Comptroller General.
Too Many “Trusties” Prove
Unworthy of Name and
Skip Out.
Warden* of the various prison
camps In Georgia have received
reprimand from the Georgia prison
commission thru a circular letter which
la being mailed each of Jthem. The
commission, In Its circular, takes a rap
at the method of appointing trusties
from among the convicts and declares
that It will deem It sufficient cause for
removal from office where escapes oc
cur from evident neglect
The statement In full follows:
"To the Warden In Charge: We
have Just seen the statistical statement
of our secretary, which shows that for
the twelve months, ending May II, the
various camps of the state had 111 es
capes. It also shows that 114 were re
captured. Mowcvai, some fifteen of the
latter were convicts who escaped under
the old contract system, showing that
there ore 110 convicts still at large who
escaped from the camps during the past
year, an average of ten net escapes per
month. The above does not Include
misdemeanors. We are thoroughly eon.
vtneed that a very large number of
these escapes Is traceable directly
negligence er carelessness on the pai
of the warden and guards and the
commission Is determined to hereafter
hold every warden to a strict account
ability for the safe keeping of tho con
vict* In his charge. The Indiscriminate
trusty' business Is contrary to the
rules of this commission, and ’leaving
convicts at camp without guard' la al
together wrong and la considered noth.
Ing less than gross negligence.
"We take this method of notifying
each and every warden In the state,
and they In turn must so notify their
deputy wardens that convicts lnMhclr
charge must be more aafSIy guarded
nnd held, and where we consider es
capes from ths camp are ton numerous
or caused by evident, neglect, we will
• deem It sufficient cause for the re
moval of the warden, ’ We sincerely
trust that each Warden will fully real
ise and appreciate the responsibility
that Is resting upon him and assist the
commission In seeing thst Ihs convicts
are more safely held.
"We trust that you will glvs this
your Immediate and constant attention.
"Respectfully,
"THE PRISON COMMISSION OF
GEORGIA."

Because the returns from the Atlanta
and West Point railroad showed no In
crease In the road's valuation over last
year, altho It had added several bun
dred thousand dollars In property to Its
physical value, William ’A. Wright,
comptroller genera!/ has returned the
atatement bearing Ita tax returns to the
officials of the road, notifying them that
he could not accept It .as sent to him.
Besides this, he has returned the stute-
•ment of the valuation of th# property
of the Southern railway to Its officials,
because he did not believe It tyipresent
ed the Increased valuation of the prop
erty. The Southern's figures showed an
Increase over last year of 1170,0015.
while the figures of ths Atlanta- and
West Point were practically the same
as before.
"All railroad property should reflect
an Increase each year In comparison
with the Incresse of other property,"
said Mr. Wright. "While the Atlanta
and West Point road admitted that It
had added additional physical property
since last year. Its total rtturns were
about the same as th* old figures. This
Is sccounted fob by the fset thst It re
turned the' value of ■ Its franchise st
6240,000 less than It did last year.
"We have had no definite settlement
with any of the large railroads yet. The
returns they have made have been un-
Sktlsfactofy, In some Instances, and 1
could not accept them. Other roads
have submitted no figures at all to ms
yet."

Here is the Flanders “4” Motorcycle
Made in the World’s Largest Motorcycle Factory. It is a Big, Powerful, Beautiful
Machine, Combining all that is Best and the Price is a little More
than Half—$175. Magneto included—of course. #
‘iH
THIS IS THE MOTORCYCLE you have heard so much about. We
hope this announcement will quell the anxiety of other makers—now
that they know the worst they may rest easier I
circles.
IT WAS AMUSING to listen to the many stories that were told. Some
of them were weird—and all were far from the truth. They origin
ated doubtless from the fact that it was known we were experiment
ing on something very different from present'types—experiments that
may or may not come to something in the future.
HERE ARE THE FACTS: The Flanders “4" is not an experiment in
any sense—nor is there a single radical feature about it. If is a
standard, four-horse power, belt-driven motorcycle—a, trine larger,
longer, yet lighter, and more powerful and much better built than
other “4V\ . . . . - • • , '
THE PRICE IS SENSATIONAL that’s all—price and quality.
YOU WILL RECALL that Flanders' success in the automobile industry
was made, not by inventing a new kind of motor car, but by taking
the best $2,500 car that could be found, manufacturing them in thous
ands instead of hundreds and selling them for just half the former
price. Of course the profit was small on each car—but on thousands
ft figured up pretty fast. And the low price made it possible to sell
all and more than the big factories could make.
THE REST IS HISTORY—no other car in the whole world enjoys so
splendid a reputation. Over 30,000 delighted owners will tell you it
has no equal. t
NOW GET THIS—it’s important! We are following the same plan. We
have nothing new—just a standard “four'* motorcycle made as much
better than others as we know how. The genius of this organization
is designing and manufacturing ability—our strong point is making
things in immense quantities. We have the capital, the. factories and
the experience.
THEN WE SELL IT FOR LESS—much less. Why? Simply because if
we are to manufacture say 60,000 motorcycles per year we must place
the price within the reach of that many people—working men, clerks,
as well as business men. Every ten dollars added to the price cuts
down the demand—less people can afford the price. ,
BESIDES IT COSTS HEAVILY to sell an article for more than it is
worth. The customer knows about how much he should pay and get
one hundred cents’ worth for every dollar.
MOTORCYCLES ARE TOO HIGH PRICED—the-value isn’t there.
The Flanders ”4” will correct that.*
WHEN FLANDERS ENTERED the automobile business prices were
fifty per cent higher than they are now—the reason other makers have
been so worried of late was because they knew the advent of Flanders
in the motorcycle business meant a revolution of both price and quality
in this as it did in the automobile business.
THE PRICE IS $175.00—magneto included—of course. Flanderi was the
first to say no automobile was complete without a magneto—we say
it again now—no motorcycle is complete without a first-class magneto
—and we use the Splitdorf—admitted best. Others charge $25 to $40
extra for a magneto—and a foreign one at that.
AS FOR THE REST—we need not waste space here on technical specifi
cations. They are all in the catalog and you can have one for the
asking. Suffice it to say this is a full size machine—55J4 inch wheel
base; 28 inch wheels shod with 2% inch tires. Heavily tired for the
weight for Flanders ”4” is 25 pounds lighter than the next lightest
motorcycle of the same size.
WHY? BECAUSE instead of heavy, uncertain steel castings we use drop
forgings and stampings scientifically heat treated. In other words, we
use the same kind of materials that are used in first-class automobiles
and so we are able to make a lighter yet stronger machine. Of course,
we- need not tell you the advantages of lightness in a motorcycle—you
know them yourself.
NOW IF THIS WERE A NEW and unknown concern' you might hive
reason to doubt the quality of this motorcycle—agents for other
machines selling for $225 to $350 will, of course, try to tell you a
first-class 4 horsepower, belt-driven free engine motorcycle can't be
made and sold at a profit for $175.00—including a Splitdorf magneto.
BUT YOU KNOW THE NAME FLANDERS. You know it stands head
and shoulders above all others in the automobile industry—and above
all you know—all the world knows—that name stands for quality
and fair dealing.
SO WE NEEDN’T answer that statement which, of course, other makers
will make—because they must. It is the only thing left for them
to say.
YES, WE WILL answer it—by saying that the Flanders guarantee goes
with every motorcycle—and all the world knows what that means, too.
JUST A WORD about deliveries. Already the fame of this machine has
spread over the country and we have a large number of orders on
hand. You may have to wait a little, but it will be worth it as you
will get a better motorcycle for much less.
PERHAPS THERE ISN’T a dealer in your immediate territory yet—we
are signing them up as fast as we can, but it takes time, especially as
we are very careful to select the best—men who will properly repre
sent the. Flanders policy.
IF THERE ISN’T a dealer in your vicinity you can send your order to
the factory direct—it won’t get any better service, but we promise you
a delivery in your proper order—no partiality.
DEALERS:. Perhaps we haven't signed up In your territory yet—only way to find
out Is to write our Sales Manager at the factory. You will have to measure up
to the standard to secure this agency. So If you want It, hurry—and when
writing tell him all about yourself and why you think you are entitled to thla
plum. Ten of these machines will be told for every one you are now selling-
greater value for the money.
