MOTOR CAR OWNERS
HIT HARD BY LAW
Machines Are Subject TO
Class Legislation in
Many States

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July o.
While the automobile trade has been
steadily progressing In the direction
of cutting down the cost OF cars and
their maintenance. the thoughts OF
the law makers on motor cars have
not been so happily directed.
The Touring Bureau of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association has just
completed a codification of the auto
mobile laws as they are at the pres
ent writing. This codihoation will
soon be ready for distribution and a
COPY may be had by sending to the
national headquarters of the associa-
ton either at Washington or New
York.
A casual study will demonstrate
that automobiles are essentially sub
jects for class legislation in most OF
the States Not only arc they taxed
as users of the highways. but, with
some exceptions. they are also taxed
as personal property. There are also
States which have a third means OF
making the motor car owner pay
In these. the owner is compelled 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 are in the States OF New
York. Idaho. Iowa and Oklahoma
These commonwSalths specifically
provide that registration is in lieu
OF all other taxes. To this list should
be added Pennsylvania and Vermont
wherein there are no added taxes
though not so specifically provided
for in the legislative acts.
Those states where the owner il
required TO pay a third tax are Con.
necticut. Delaware. Florida Maine,
Maryland. Massachusetts,. New jersey
and the District OF Columbia In Yer
mont, while escaping the property
tax the owner pays for a driving IL

MAXWELL statesmen
REPORT BUSY SEASON

A strong example of the principle
of cooperation in automobile circles,
was the annual salesmen's convention
of the Maxwell Motor Company Inc.
held at Detroit. Zone supervisors
and district salesmen-me who min

throughout the United States and
Canada-gathered in a three-day ses-
sion to study the 1916 Maxwell; to
become thoroughly acquainted with
every feature; so as TO better coop
crate with the big Maxwell factories
in demonstrating Maxwell superiority
and Maxwell service from ocean to
ocean.
Rare enthusiasm marked the entire
convention. Admiration for tho 1916

ing The spirit of cooperation was
never more dominant
Sixty thousand more Maxwells will
be marketed during the coming sea-
son. This mammoth production will
be responsible for a startling an
nouncement It is predicted. But there
Is amazement in the Maxwell camp to
see the orders piling in before even

Il simply wish TO notify such play

KISSEL DELIVERY
CAR IN DEMAND
New 1000-Pound Model
Shows Many Added
Features

The new Kissel 1000 pound deliv-
cry car is attracting great deal Of
attention in the trade for the reason
that it is one of the few light COM
mercial vehicles to como from fac
tory hitherto specializing in heavier
trucks The Kissel Motor Car Com
pany has built trucks for eight years,
nearly as long as they have been
identified with the manufacture Of
pleasure cars, but never before have
they offered a model of less than 1900
pounds capacity. The new 1000 pound
Job specifies the same feature of
construction as the larger KisselKar
trucks. which should make il an un-
usually sturdy vehicle of its weight.
Another feature among the seven
new models of KisselKar trucks is
the substitution of worm drive for
chain drive in the 1. l IL, and 2 ton
sizes.

CORNELL, HARVARD.
AND YALE IN FORE
Hold Major Portion Of IntercoI-
Iegiate Athletic Titles During
Year.

With the decision Of the soccer tour
nament in favor Of Haverford. the last
intercollegiate championship for 1915 has
been decided. Cornell. Vale. and Uar-
ward share the major hOnOrs.
Cornell holds the titles In football,
track. and field athletics, and wrestling.
and shares with Yale the supremacy in
rowing. There will be many who will
disagree with this division OF honors in
rowing on account OF Yale having
beaten Cornell in short early season
could have taken the measure of the
Ithacan crew as 1t rowed those four
miles on the Hudson in front OF the
Leland stanford eight in June
To Harvard go the baseball and ten
mis- championships, with participation in
the lacrosse and hockey title with
Dartmouth. Yale holds the basketball.
golf, and gymnastics championships out
right. with part ownership OF the swim
ming and rowing titles Columbia and
Pennsylvania also have a share in the
swimming title in which a triple tie
was left undecided. Princeton won the
water polo honors.
One Of the real surprises OF the year
was the Sisc OF the University OF Maine
in cross-Country running. The Maine
barriers had been doing we'll in their
sectional division, but few conceded
them a chance in the big run at Bos-
ton last month. They presented a fine
ly balanced team. and wrested the hon
ors from Cornell.
Another small college to score was
Havcrford. in the soccer tourney. Johns
Hopkins won the lacrosse title IN the
Southern division. while Harvard won
in the Northern LeaE que. They did NOT
meet for the national title.

HINT Va. LEAGUE IS
DUE ETOD|SCONT|NUE
Officials Fail to Deny Rumors
That Circuit May Go Under
This Winter.

LYNCTPURG. Va, Dec. 19-Direc-
tors of the Virginia League failed to
deny the report that the circuit may
go under during tho winter.
II Is hinted that Suffolk Is wocfully
weak on the proposition Of professional
ball for another season, this condition
being due to the considerable losses
the last season. Petersburg Is already
out and Wilmington, y. C, fans have
not waxed warm In an effort To land
me Surolk franchise, should the Swarpp
Cats backerI decide not, to undertake
the support OF team in Suffol(, again.
HopeweI comes forward with tho
statement that the fire which " ipcd out
that town, last week will not interfere
with the plans of the men who have
peen backing that town in the effort to
operated by the league as floatcr dur
Ing more than half OF the ,915 season.
One of the lvclicst scribes In the
1idewater Is authority for the state
mInt that the money derived from tho
Richmond fans. which made possible
the entrance of that city into the In
ternational League was the one thinC
which enabled the Old Dominion circuit
TO go through the season. This scribe
admits that Richmond was the back
hone of the league and that Without
Richmond there is little stability to the
circuit.
From this same authority II Is learned
that In addition to using up the money
paid by Richmond for release from the
circuit. the league used all of the sink
Ing fund and most OF tho six $50, checks
put up. by the teams aa the seasons
guarantee
Formerly Sre sinking fund had some
thing like s>0o or $1,000 in 1t for divis-
ion among the teams at the end of tho
playing season. These facts. IL they arc
facts, indicate something OF the real
trouble President BoatwriCht had in
