Is the one thing that enables the man
whose home is ten miles or more from

us the suburbanite, who lives in the

as logical to tax the modern farm i'm

piish the same purpose. The farmer
does not consider his car luxury.
Farming and luxury seldom are placed
in the same category.
But the proposed measure does not
confine itself simply to a tax on cars,
but includes. all motor vehicles-freight
and passenger. 1t means that tho
builders of the d-fashioncd horse

There can be no logical reason why
trucks should be taxed simply because
they are driven by q motor instcad
of being hauled by horses. The motor
truck and the orse-drawn truck are
engaged in the same work. and both
are frequently employed by the same
concerns. There is no possible OK
cusc for discrimination. If one is taxed,
the other, in fairness, should also be
taxed.

those who put up their cars for the

This advice is not a panacea for all
