TAX HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Graduated Auto Fees Collected in
Michigan Declared Illegal.

Efforts made every winter by legislators
10 shoulder the whole burden of highway
maintenance upon automobile and motor
truck owners and drivers by means of
increased registration fees. new operating
licenses and other charges are not meet
ing with complete success Following
recent examples in Mississippi and Ohio,
the Michigan supreme court has declared
unconstitutional the law passed last year
requiring graduated registration fees of
80 cents per horsepower
The effect will be that the only part
of the fees collected that can be retained
is So per car for registration under the
old law. and the greater part of 100000
collected will have to be returned.
The decision was on technical grounds,
the court holding that the clear purpose
of the legislation in exacting large an
amount from the owners of motor cars
was to produce a fund for highway pur-
pose under the eslIise of regulation, which
fnaSes Il = TAX measure. which is clearly
not covered by the title of the act The
court adds there can be no more labor
expense in registering vehicle of high
horsepower than in registering one of
low power. and the only reasonable pur-
pose in the graduated fee is the increased
revenue"

According to Fred J. Titus. the former

the Held for American cars in Canada is
largely increasing despite the fact that
the duty on American cars is Il per cent

evidence of an increase of ?3i cars over

1t is interesting TO note that Canadians

Experience Muddy Roads.

The road through this section was
heavy with red clay. and as not single
member in the party desired to spend
the night in a mudhole. it was necessary
to do some careful driving if We were
to be spared the ordeal of a night in the
open country. We thought that We were
having it rough" but. it was not until
after we had passed through Clarksburs,
11S miles from our starting point. that
we began TO see some real mud. Be
tween Clarksburg and Gaithersburg we
experienced the worst road conditions Of
the entire trip. We felt that if We could
reach Gaithersburg in safety I'VE should
worry the remainder of the trip.
Not stopping to put on chains. we
cautiously wended our way through the
heavy mire. and although perspiration
was dropping from more than one brow,
we cheered with glee as we sighted the
brilliant electric lights of the town of
CSaithersburg. All was not over, how
ever, until we pulled up into the town.
We finally reached the village and cross
ing the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
tracks. continued on in the direction of
Washington.
AT the southern extremity of the town
We picked up the macadamized roadway,
and il was easy sailing to the end OF our
Journey. Rockville was reached in good
order. then Bethesda and Tenleytown in
the order named. Following the Rock
vile pike into Wisconsin avenue and
Massachusetts avenue, We turned to the
left at the latter thoroughfare, and on
reaching the center of the city scattered

tFip about the battlefield. Deducing
the time for stops and dinner. the actual
running time was nine hours, with an
average for the days run of twenty
three miles an hour. Every one in the
partv was delighted with the trip, espe-
ciaIly at the fact that no further delays
occurred The trip was especially inter
esting on account of being so early In
the season But few motorists were seen
ON the road at any time during the day,
and then only in the vicinity of some of
the larger villages

one is built with an unaersirng frame.

The Wrong Way to Go About IT..

Senator Weeks convicted himself Of inconsst-
ency in his speech yesterday on the question OF
investigating our national defences. He is re-
ported as saying that agitation for such an in
vestgation should be suppressed. But in the same
breath he expressed the belief that our military
resources are entirely inadequate and advocated
an increase of the regular army to five hundred
thousand men.
If we need a regular army five times as big as
our present one something must be wrong with
our military system. The proper way to discover
what is wrong is through Congressional investi-
CATION The force which accomplishes great
things in this country is public opinion, and until
public opinion asserts itself it is useless to expect
Congress and the administration TO repair de-
ficiencies in our military organization.
Mr. Weeks says that the reports of depart
mental and bureau heads show what is needed.
But Congress has never paid any heed to those
reports Administrations have been content to
pass along the problem Of military preparedness
from one year to another. A comfortable average
of efficiency not maximum Of efficiency has been
aimed at We shall never get beyond that COM
Portable average until the country is made aware
of all our present shortcomings and begins to ex-
ert pressure on lawmakers and administrators at
Washington.
Does Mr. Weeks think that Mr.. Wilson can be
Jared out of his complacency by policy which
seeks to clamp the lid down on investigation? He
will not want to act and his party in Congress
will not want to act unless our unpreparedness is
sharply exposed and the political consequences Of
non-action became evident. A mild suggestion
from Mr.. Weeks that the standing army needs to
be multiplied in strength five times will not great
ly impress this administration. Only drastic
policy of exposure and criticism will awaken it to
national needs and lead to a prompt repairing Of
our military deficiencies.

Stockholders Dividends Versus Passen.
GERS Safety.

The Public Service Commission should adopt
Mr.. Grams resolution for an order compelling
the Interborough to strengthen the elevated
structures so as to permit the operation of steel
cars, if such strengthening is needed. II is in
tolerable that these lines, which pay heavy profits
should be operated with so little regard for pas
sengers' safety as was shown in the 10th St.
wreck There is no reason why they should not
have every precaution and every safety device
which modern engineering skill has provided Tor
railroad operation. The Interstate Commerce
Commission in its annual report to Congress, has
lust recommended compulsory abandonment of
wooden passenger coaches on railroads for the
modern steel coach. The Public Service Commits
sion should not show less regard for the trav-
oilers in this city.
Only the widest dreamer-a candidate for the
psvchopathc pavilion at Bellevue-would expect
the transit company to move without being
prodded Mr.. Hedley's declaration that sit would
not be- good business" to discard the present
wooden cars, even if steel ones could be operated,
defines the companys official attitude. Dividends
for stockholders, injuries and death for passen-
gers-that is the result Of the Interborough's
brand of good business
The officials cannot put all responsibility on the
motorman and conductor of the second train,
ever if they did violate the company's rules
The company's mechanical equipment should be
one that would minimize chance of disaster from
human carelessness or ineiiciency rather than
emphasize it, II the Public Service Commission
does not take prompt action to force this negli-
gent corporation to do its manifest duty the COM
mission viii write itself into the same class as
the corporation.

Hope for the Railroads.

The rumor that the railroads will be graciously
permitted to exist is good reading No one will
count the per cent increase in freight rates as
reality until the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion actually hands down its decision. But the
confident reports from Washington warrant
hopes which the whole country will be glad to
share
Certainly if the general sentiment OF the
country is making itself felt in Washington,
there can be no doubt of the decision. That SEN
timent has undergone very considerable change
in the last few months. War conditions have
convinced the country of the justice Of the rail-
roads demands Unfortunately, Washington OF
late has not been spot where business needs
were heard with respect or needed according to
their deserts. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has followed august example in ITS con-
temptuous disregard Of plain business facts
Every one will hope that it has been persuaded
Of its error and is prepared to make the amends
which prudence and fair play demand

Why not % per cent more cars IN

cent more within eighteen months by
simple means which would not cost the
city penny?
Why not 40 or so per cent more
capacity on all new lines ready for use

lift of the standard of public comfort
and S5,0O0000 a year additional city
income, to which probably taxpayers
would not object?
Why does the commission go part
way toward these things and then re-
treat? One does not like to think that
with 10 the "limit of human endeavor"
is the point at which a wireless whisper
comes through some peculiar medium

After all, has there not been mis-
print? Instead of "the limit of human
endeavor" being reached, did not
amiable Chairman Mccall mean "the
limit of human endurance" on the part
of the suffering rush hour victims?

The Perpetual Thaw.

This much afflicted community has given up
hope of Kidding itself permanently of Harry h.
Thaw's personality. As long as Thaw money and
lawyers are left in the land, escapes, motions,
alarms and headlines must be looked for with reg
ularity
What we do hope is that no court will commit
the folly Of turning this crazy murderer loose
upon the country. The United States District
Court of New Hampshire much impressed by
the techncalites of the case. Because the fugl-
tive murderer happened to be insane as well as
criminal that ingenious court held that this
state had no right to get him back. Being twice
as dangerous as the ordinary criminal, ne was
protected by the mighty arm of the federal Con-
stitution.
Maybe this is the law but for the sake of the
law we hope it is not. If the Supreme Court of
the United States cannot find way to keep
Harry X. Thaw behind the bars, the sanity of
the Constitution of the United States will be open
to grave suspicion.
