Taxing aIetor Cars.

The French have a decidedly prac-
teal way of looking at new methods OF
locomotion. No sooner was the bicycle
g established than $ large revenue-pro-
duclng tax was imposed on it, and
now it has been decided by the French
authorities to impose tax on motor
cars, the tax apparently varying in
different parts, according to the density
of the population. In the large eenters
of population the tax will be some
what serious item, and in Paris 1t
amounts to S12 on vehicles for two
passengers and $50 on large vehicles.
IT is curious that at the same time
that this tax is being imposed it Is
also being proposed that subsidies
should be granted to public services
Of motor cars.
