PEOPLES COLUM N
Is An Auto A Horse
Editor Newark Post 4:

Editor Newark Post:
If the Board of Education in
their attempted extortion Of auto
mobile owners think they are tax
ing a luxury, they are thinking
twenty years back.
The automobile is not a luxury
but a necessary means OF trans
portation, and generally owned by
those who have no horses; or if
they do own horses, the automobile
takes the place of the necessary ad-
ditional horses and carriages to
provide for the work or pleasure
Of the owner.
The idea of the automobile as a
luxury does not exist, except in
the cramped craniums Of those
narrow minded gentry who are
dead to progress.
f the School Board are casting
about for some luxury to tax, let
them assess all pianos, or some
other article of personal property
that is luxury pure and simple,
but don't let them fool themselves
into the mistaken idea that they
can hold up the automobile owner
and get away with it, they nor no
other set of men can do it.
The automobile owners have
banded together and made a united
protest against the high-handed
methods Of the Board of Educa-
ton, in the manner provided by
law for such cases, and they will
stand united for mutual protection
against any demonstration of the
disease-excess authority.
The automobile owners Of this
community are not crowd of
hOedlums Or undesirable citizens,
whom it becomes any petty local
Board to attempt to drive away by
unfair taxation and discrimination
against them can only proceed
from envy, jealousy, spite and
spleen.
If proper redress cannot be Sc
cured otherwise let the automobile
owners form a permanent organiza-
ton not only for defense, but for
attack, let them undertake to COM
pei the Board Of Education to
show what they are doing, as it is
