CODlFYlNG AUTOMOBILE LAWS
In Many States Autos Are Taxed as

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July 31.-While
the automobile trade has been steadily
progressing In the direction of cutting
down the cost of cars and their main

This codifcation will soon be ready
for distribution, and r copy may be had

tiers Of the association either at wash

casual study Will demonstrate that
automobiles are essentially subjects for
class legislation In most Of the States.
Not only are they taxed as users OF the
highways, but, with some exceptions,
they are also taxed as personal prop-
erty. There are also States which have
n third means of making tho motor car
owner pay. In these, the owner is COM
PEELED to take out a permit to use his
own property for personal pleasure
The notable exceptions wherein the
paying Of one tax definitely bars all
other forms arc in the States of New
York. Idaho. Iowa and Oklahoma.
These commemorative specifically pro.
vide that registration is in lieu of all
other taxes. To this list should be
added Pennsylvania and Vermont.
wherein there are no added taxes.

D0UBLE-TRACKlNG ALL
ALONG SOUTHERN RAIL WAY
Additional Contracts Being Let and
Others Awaiting Biddcrs-Big
Money being Spent.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. July 3l-An
official statement has been issued con-
corning the progress OF double-track-
ing on the Southern Railways limo
between Washington and Atlanta, this
oeihg In reference to the recent sale
OF S3.5oo.o00 OF per cent bonds to
j. P. Morgan & Co. and Brown Bros. &.
Co., OF New York. to provide funds for
continuing second-tract construction
on that part OF the route known as
the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line,
me statement says that 3O6 miles out
OF total of $40 miles between the two
cities have been double-tracked, or
slightly more than Al per cent of the
whole. Construction Ia now we'll under
way for second track on practically
all OF tho single-track mainline mile
age north OF Charlotte. but on these
parts which are not already started the
contracts Will soon be awarded, financ-
Ing being arranged, and work will
promptly begin: The sale of the At
lanta and Charlotte Air Line bonds is
intended to enable the company to
undertake further double tracking
south OF Charlotte. The plan for this
contemplates also a revision of align
ment which will increase by 80 per
trains on this division. This also APP
plies to the work north OF Charlotte.
In connection with the double-tracle
work which the company has been
doing during the past year in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina on about
102h miles OF this main line, the
Southern Railway has eliminated fifty
four out OF seventy-three grade cross
ings. Construction of underpasses
abolished twenty of them, and nineteen
were done away with by the erection
Of overhead bridges. while fifteen were
eliminated by changing the direction of
public roads. The remaining nineteen
grade crossings. It is Taid, are SO sit
uated that they cannot be removed,
either because OF prohibitive damages
| to abutting property or because 1t Is
physically impossible to provide other
means OF crossing the tracks.
The railway company also says that
Its policy In all construction for relo-
eating or double-trac<ing it's lines is
to abolish grade crossings wherever
practicable, the large expense neces-
sary being assumed as permanent
| investment for safety. 1t has also CO.
operated with municipal and county
authorities to eliminate many danger
GUS crossings on other lines of its sys-
tenn in the South. To this sort of work
It has devoted as much money as pos
sible under the circumstances, and
President Fairfax Harrison has stated
that this policy will be continued.

RUNNING IN CAR TRACKS
INJURIOUS TO ALL TIRES
Goodyear Service Manager Tells of
Effect on Inflated md Solid Tires
md of Damage Done.

1T is remarkable how few motorists
realize the danger OF running their
tires In the car tracks" declares r. S.
Wilson, manager of the service depart
ment of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company. 1T is true that a car runs
easier, and the jolts to the mechanism
are greatly reduced. But 1t is eX-
pcnsive comfort. There is no quicker
way of running tires
THE tread of n tire Is tho thickest
part because there the greatest wear
takes place. The sides have a thin
ner wall of rubber to protect the ia
brio Now, when tire is run in the
car tracks the wear Is concentrated on
the side OF the tread and the side walls
The constant contact OF the tire and
the inside surface Of tho rail causes
abrasion, or wearing away Of the rub
Der. Tho rail soon cuts through and
ruins the tire.
This practice OF running in the car
tracks is also a common fault among
drivers Of solid tire trucks. Only the
outside edge Of the tire rests OH the
rail, and consequently only small
part Of the tire sustains the whole
load. The result, is that the outside
edge wears off while the rest of the
tire Is apparently In good condition.
Take a fve-inch solid tire. Constant
running in car tracks will wear ofr
one and onehalf inches OF the sur
face. reducing 1t to three and half
inch tire. Thus three and half-inch
tire is compelled to do the work OF a
five-inch. which amounts practically
to overlooking.
This effect is still more pronounced
where dual tires are used on the rear
wheels, n few inches Of surface OH ono
tire being compelled to endure the
strain intended for the entire surface
OF two tireg.
Car tracks must BIO avoided II full
mileage is wanted"

DOES CONVICT
ROAD WORK PAY?
Report Filed by Chief Road Engineer
OF West rirBinia Shows En-
courngfnE Prospects.

Does convict road work pay? The
question Is most important as the con-
tinuance OF the work in most of tho
states VIII depend on its economic
value
The National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor has boon Investigate
Ing this side of the convict road ques-
ton and has received a most encourage
Ing report from A. D. williams, chief
road engineer OF the State of West yir-
ginia.
The report covers the work at Dana,
kanawha County, and has been con-
Quoted under the supervision of NJ. p.
Walsh for period OF ten months, half
OF which was through tho winter.
From November, 1914, to June. 1913.
the measured quantities on the Maiden
Road constructed by the convicts from
the Dana Camp were: 207 cubic yards
rubble masonry in cement; 1I5 cubic
yards rubble masonry in dry: 2I5 cubic
yards reinforced concrete; 90 linear
feet 2f-inch vitrifled pipe; 220 linear
feet 1S-inch vitrifed pipe; 4oS linear
feet 12-inch vitrified pipe; s95 cubic
yards foundation excavations; 22SS6
cubic yards unclassified excavation.
The total cost Of this work amounted
to S1l,aS9.92. while the lowest OF four
bids received from private contractors
for this same work amounted to sI6,-
4lS.05; or S3.S1s.13 moro than the work
actually cost when constructed by tho
prisoners. Twenty-Five per cent OF the
total cost Of the work was, therefore,
saved by the use Of the prisoners
The success In this work Is pointed
out by the National Committee on
Prisons and Prison Labor to be due TO
the fact that the men In charge were
efficient and DESTROYS OF success, and
also had tho welfare Of the prisoners at
heart. 80 that they secured interest and
