|JeWett Points Out Injustice :,
 Tn Proposed Motor Car Tax
Paige Executive Says Proposition Blow at Industry That
 Will Be Felt Throughout Country

Reports from Washington, D. C., fn- dicate that the administration is talk ing a second thought on the proposed that this particular revenue measure may be abandoned. The proposition
 met with immediate and unmistak-
 able opposition and the capital has been deluged with protests from the folks "back home"
 Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company, re-
 gently summed up the situation effect lively in a newspaper interview. MT. Jewett said:
 "The American public will not stand for any such unfairness as the pro-
 posed taxes on automobiles and gaso- line. The administration will see that
 the people will rise up against this imposition Is no unmistakable way. "As long as they thought down there that they were going to make Michi- gan pay the taxes, the other fellows laughed up their sleeves. They don't
 care how much Michigan objected so long as they got away with it. But
 their proposition is not confined to
 Michigan. It will reach to every neck
 and corner of the land, just as the au- tomobile reaches, and congressmen from other states will hear from their people fast enough as soon as the peo- pie realize what this means. This proposed tax has been talked over in the automobile industry for 1 sometime, as we knew that 1t was | coming. Naturally. the automobile men | look upon it as direct slap at the | industry itself. But they were figur- | ing down in Washington that Mich ! igan, with S5 per cent of the auto-
 mobile production, would be the state | that would have to foot the bills and | that it was merely a case of soaking Michigan.
 | "They didn't stop to think that in | every corner of the United States peo- pie are using and making money out
 of automobiles. There are garages

and workshops everywhere that come in on some angle of the fndustry, or in the manufacture of accessories even down to the making of goggles, cloth and leather upholstering and other things. None of these people want the automobile business singled out for the imposition of unfair taxes that will injure it.
 People who own cars now are pay ing personal taxes, licenses taxes horsepower taxes, good roads taxes and others Now an additional tax is pro- posed to be levied on them with a gaso- line tax on top of it. The users of cars will feel a 50-cent horsepower tax and a raise of l cent in gasoline prices and they will feel it everywhere, es-
