WILL APPEAL CASE
To TEST TAX LAWS

HARRISONBURG, VA, April g.
The action of the grand jury, inyestt-
eating assessments in Rockingham
last December, in assessing the work
ing capital of Touring mills was up
held by Judge I. n. Haas In an opin-
ion handed down in Circuit court. A
number of milling concerns in the
county appealed 10 the Circuit court
and the cases were submitted al an
earlier day in the present term. The
cases will be appealed TO the Supreme
court for q final ruling.
Among the millers who appealed TO
the Circuit court were the Harrison
burg Milling company, the Mutual
Milling and Supply company, w. J.
Gochenour,- of Penn-I4aird Bridge
water Manufacturing pany. K. III.
Brown 4 Company, of Eldom, and Da-
Wis K Marshall, Of Elkton,
Judge Haas decision covered TWEEN
ty-two pages and reviewed the cases,
all Of which were considered joint
~, at length. The court held that the
assessments as made following the
grand jury's report were valid, with
the exception of that charged against
Davis & Marshall, which firm was not
doing business on February /, 1912,
as of which date the assessment was
made.
1t appeared that previous to the in
vestigations Of the grand jury in De
Cember, the owners of Touring mills in
Rockingham had never been assess
ed on the capital en- p1oyed in thei1
business. In other counties the as
easements had been made under va
rious heads. but there was no uni
formity in the method employed by
commissioners of the revenue.
The case. was brought in the Cir.
cult court with the view of appealing
the matter of the Supreme court, nc
matter which side won, for the pur-
pose of testing the points involved and
bringing about uniformity in the
method of assessing the taxes by call
ing the attention of the legislature tC
the decision of the higher court
The milling concerns made severa,
technical objections, both as to the
manner by which the assessments had
been made and also as to the regular,
ity of the grand jury proceedings, as
a result of which the capital employed
in their business was made taxable
The main point, involved however, was
the question whether borrowed cap
ital" could be included under the item
capital employed in business"
The conclusion of Judge Haas was
to the effect that under the tax laws
of the State borrowed capital was
made liable to assessment, the same
as paid-in capital.

But is there any such thing in

A dealer may offer his ear at what
looks to be cut price.
He may say that he can save you
some money. u
But can he2
Let us see.
There are about as many classes Of
automobiles as there are different
makes OF cars.
One class Is the car whose chief
excuse and usually whose only ex-
cuse for consideration is the fact that
you can buy 1t and get something
thrown i'm
Now the fact is you don't in reality,
get anything off" and you don't get
anything thrown in
If you are offered something Off
the chances are 100 to l that you are
getting Something on"
If you are offered something
thrown in" rest assured that the
price you are paying amply covers
what you think you are getting for
nothing. You can also be ninety nine
per cent sure that somebody else is
getting more "off' or more thrown
in than you are.
Any concession at all Is evidence of
weakness. 1t is evidence that the bars
are down so why stop at a small con-
Cession why not get the limit? Some
body else will get it; why not you?
In this class Of cars the list price
or catalog price is simply Formally,
merely an arbitrary amount from
which to figure a discount-tVe ten,
twenty or thirty per cent-whataver
your buying abluty will enable You to
get.
Such cars are not intended to be
sold at list price. The list price is
purposely set away in excess of what
the car is ever expected to sell for
and the dealer is given a long dis
count for the very purpose of enabling
him to use the discount bait on the
man who pats himself on the back
and says, What shrewd buyer am
IT,
If the aforesaid shrewd buyer, or
the man who is offered a long price
for his second hand car, will halt in
his congratulations OF himself just
long enough to give his common sense
an opportunity to get into play the
probabilities are that it Will assert
itself.
Cars of this type are usually turned
ont by concerns which hope to take
advantage Of the popularity of the
automobile by filing in the shortage

/ cars2being greater than the supply.
They ape not blind to the fact that
a goony portion of new buyers are
unfamiliar with motor car construc-
ton and motor car values Their hope
OF success lies in the fact that they
can turn out something that has the
appearance of an automobile. some
thing that will actually run and prob
ably make a good demonstration. It
may even run we'll for several months
particularly If handled with gloves"
The future IL of little consequence
The motto is, Get the money" Get
all you can, but-sell the car
Another purpose of the over-price
and the long discount is to enable
the dealer to allow what looks like a
liberal sum for second hand car. If
the man who trades in his second
hand car will follow 1t up and see
what happens, he will probably find
that the dealer who took il will dis
pose of it for several hundred dol
lars less than he allowed for it,
DO you think he is losing money?
Hardly. The long discount he got on
