AUTO TAX IMPOSITION,
DECLARES F. c. BATTEY
President Savannah Auto Club
CritiCiSeS Bill

Savannah Ga, July 17.-That the
passage of a measure such as Gov
ernor Smith proposes for the taxation
of automobiles at 81 per horse pow
er, would be. rank class legislation
Of an unjust majority is the strongly
expressed opinion of Frank c. Battey,
chairman of the Good Roads Commit
tee of the Savannah Automobile CluD.
Mr.. Battey is unalterably opposed
to the proposed tax in all its forms,
and defines it as an unjust imposition
and discriminatory measure. That the
traffic of automobiles over the roads
of the state results in greater wear
and tear than other vehicles, Mr..
Battey emphatically denies, affirming
that far greater per cent of damages
is done by the iron-shod hoofs and
steel-shod wheels of hosedrawn veil

Us Heavily Taxed Now.

"If such a measure is passed it
would be rank class legislation of an
unjust majority against defenseless
minority" Mr.. Battey says. The au-
tomobile is now taxed as is other
property and already pays far more
tax in proportion to number than any
other class of road vehicles, many Of
which escape taxation altogether. In
addition to this, supposedly for pur-
poses of Identification, each automo-
bile is assessed 81 for registration.
"Now, Governor Smith comes for
ward with the proposition that be-
cause he thinks they wear out the
roads they should stand an additional
tax of 81 per horse power, which lie
estimates would mean 100000 wrung
from the automobilists on a basis Of
10000 machines averaging 2O-horse
power-he, an automobile owner, be-
ing perfectly willing to pay tax on
his.
LAS Governor Smith is at present
the owner also of two fat jobs, Meth
er of which he is willing to relin-
quish, and the possessor of a great
deal of other personal property, TO-
say nothing of the Gal in the Foun-
tain and other valuable real estate,
he can we'll afford to throw this tub
to the whale and try to make himself
still more solid with the great major
ity at the expense of the automobile
owners of the state"

STOP DISCRIMINATION
 OF UNIFORM WEARERS

Washington, April 13.-As another step in the national governments ef- forts to eliminate discrimination against wearers of the service uni forms of the United States, Acting Secretary of the Navy Winthrop to- day called to the attention of the gov ernors of the Atlantic and Pacific coast states recent legislation of Con- gress and the Rhode Island legisla- ture.
 Congress has made it a misdemeanor for the proprietor or manager of Q place of amusement in the District of Columbia or the territories to discrim- mate against any man because he wears the uniform of the army, navy or marino corps. The Rhode Island law is of a similar import. Mr. Win throp suggested that the navy depatr- ment would be gratified if laws along thes lines could be secured in the coast states so often visited by the navy and marine corps.
 Discrimination against the personnel of the navy and marine corps while in uniform, wrote MT. Winthrop, is most unfortunate and unnecessary in view of the excellent character of young men who are now enlisting, the vast majority of which are self-re- specting, coming from respectable 0 homes"

COTTON MARKET MAKES RECOVERY Renewal of Old Crop Gov erings Brings Active
 Selling

New York, April 13.-There was a renewal of the old crop covering move ment in the cotton market today as a result of which yesterdays setback was more than recovered with active months selling into new high ground, and with the close steady at net ad- vance of to 21 points.
 The opening was firm at an advance of to 14 points in response to bet ter cables than expected, big Liverpool spot sales, prospects for bullish week end figures and the outlook for con- tinued unsettled weather in the south over the holidays. A moderate reac ton occurred during the middle of the day under realizing, but no weakness developed and the highest prices were made in the late trading on renewed covering and support from spot peo- ple The close was shade off from the best as result of profit taking for over the holidays.
 The disappearance of the May pre- mium, that position closing on even terms with July, was responsible for rumors that the remaining short in terest in May was either determined to await the result of notices or was protected by cotton available for de- livery, but there was some demand for May from leading interests, although bull support seemde to be going chief ly into July.
 Liverpool was a considerable buyer here early and private cables attrib- uted the relative frnness there to q good trade demand. The small esti- mates for tomorrow at New Orleans probably helped the early advance and in the late trading there were some bullish private reports from southern spot. markets. while 1t also seemed that more attention was being paid to the talk of delayed new crop planting as a result of continued rains in the south.
 Receipts at the ports today, 9521 bales against 49S1 last week and 13,- 589 last year. For the week, 10000 bales against 3S,S24 last week and S5.- 896 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 3676 bales against 1771 last year.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 1S-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of 5 to 8 points on good cables. Heavy spot sales in the Liverpool market caused buying for both accounts and private cable mes sages from both Liverpool and Manches- ter telling of further large business done by English manufacturers of cotton goods aroused bullish sentiment The weather map was favorable, no great amount of rain heinz reported except along the Att lantic coast and in Arkansas and Okla homa, but the new crop followed the advance on the old in spite of these con ditions. At the end of the first half hour of training prices were to 12 points over yesterdays close.
 The market was very steady until well after the middle of the morning. The forecast called for cold weather over the cotton belt tonight and tomorrow with frost in Texas and this strengthened the new crops in the face of considerable short selling At the highest the old crops were 13 points up and the new crops to 10 points Up. It was not until longs took profits on a large scale that prices began to react. Toward noon sell

WHEAT MAKESA
 GOOD ADVANCE Price Now Gives the South western Shippers Fairly
 Good Profits

Chicago, April 13-Wheat prices ad- to admit of shipments coming here from the southwest at fairly good profit. The chief reason was that sellers were scarce, most of the bear spectators not desir- ing to have trades open during the holi- day tomorrow. Closing figures showed a net gain of 1s@hc. Final results In corn was lift of 1ac to %c over last night, A@ssc to 1ac rise for oats and 5d15c ad- ded cost to provisions.
 Trade in the wheat pit consisted main- ly of evening-up risks In view of the fact that no session would be held tomorrow and there would be but few hours of business the following day. The May de- livery was especially strong most of the time, although reacting frequently and being nervous throughout. Cash wheat on the other hand was slow, one small lot in particular being hawked all around at full carrying charge discount from the May delivery price. At the outset the future list as a whole declined some- what because of a forecast that ship ments would be heavy from the Argen- tine An offset appeared, however, in the form of an official report that the Hungarian crop had been damaged 1o3 per. cent Thereafter the market, aided by scattered purchases on the part of shorts. kept well above the previous nights level. High and low limits for May were s9ssGSs14 dSSssc, with the close easy at S9c-a net gain of 1ac.
 Wet weather strengthened the market for corn. Receipts, too, were so light that local and industrial demands affect ed values to a considerable extent. May ranged from 49c to 49a4c and closed from Es0Ds4c net higher at 4s1sd49stc. Cash grades were steady; No. 3 yellow finished at 5O11@50a4c.
 Transactions in oats were light and prices narrow. The cereal followed corn. May varied between 31hc and 317sc, clos ing A63so up at 31%@31Bc.
 Hoisting power for hog products came largely from grain. In the end the ad- vance was nearly even all around-lard gaining 10c to 121k@15c and other provis- ions trailing but little behind.
 Future quotations were as follows.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 13.-(Special)-The in- creased Manchester demand in Liverpool today. before the Easter holidays, gave that market strong impetus, causing an advance of to 8 points. This brought many foreign buying orders. which ab- sorbed all of the offerings at an advance of 12 to 15 points. This demand was prin- cipally for July, the interest in May de- creasing. as the arbitrage interest had purchased their sales. 1t was thought that the larger sholders had been large sellers during the day. but the light move ment and the strength of Liverpool brought many outside buyers to absorb the profit taking sales.
 The Liverpool market will be closed until Tuesday next.

STOCK MARKET IS QUIET AND NARROW Traders Are Backward With a Three-Day Vacation
 Ahead of Them

New York, April 13.-Trading was again of an altogether perfunctory na- ture on the stock market today. The market developed no discernible ten dencv in either direction and prices moved in an unusually narrow range With three days intervening before the next day of the exchange traders did not wish to commit themselves to new enterprises. Prices at the end of the day in most cases were within small fractions of the close of the preceding session and the total number of shares traded In was close to the low point of the year.
 Missouri Pacific fluctuated more widely than any other active stocks and made a small net gain on the day. United States Steel showed distinct heaviness at times and there were in- tervals of weakness in Reading, Union Pacific and other leaders. Pennsyl- vania was sold freely and lost ground on the day,
 Speculation was not influenced by the course of events at Washington al- though the work of Congress Is being watched with keen interest by Wall street
 It is realized, however, that uncer- tainty as to the ultimate outcome of the session of Congress constitutes deterrent force which is making It. self felt in speculation.
