FAILURE OF AMERICAN
DRIVERS EXPLAINED

Indianapolis. Ind, May The reason
for Americas failure 10 win in recent
international motor contests is lucidly
explained by DariO Resto. the English
man WAC is ruling favOrite for the next
Indianapolis 500-mile race by virtue OF
his dual victory in the Vanderbilt and
Grand Prix contests this spring at san
Francisco.
The American driver. says Resta.
is too averse to gear shifting to do
really effective work After he once
has his car in high. he lets il stay
there instead Of helping il out once
in a while by slipping into third or
second. This works a tremendous
strain on the motor. with the result
that il usually goes to pieces.
Resta himself uses a tachometer on
his car. which at all times keeps him
informed as to hisamotor speed. The
second he sees a drop in this speed he
shifts gears 10 suit. with the result
that his motor is turning over freely
and easily al every stage OF the game.
in this way he avoids excessive strain
and the usual accompanying break
down.

MOTORISTS WILL PROTEST
AGAINST PROPOSED TAX
Chairman Batchelder of A. A. A.
Executive Board Talks of De-
fense Fund Scheme.

Automobile owners throughout the
country, individually and through local
clubs, will protest against the proposal
to tax automobiles and gasoline to
help raise funds for national defense,
according to A. G. Batcheider, chair
man Of the executive board OF the
American Automobile Association Many
protests already have been received at
the associations offices. he said.
Mr.. Batchelder contended that fed
eral tax on motors and gasoline would
mean a double tax, one by the federal
government and one by the states. and
that the government could not single
out any given interest for special taxa
ton. A case is now pending before the
Supreme Court of the United States in
volving double taxation on automo-
biles. taxation of the same machine by
different states.
Double Taxation in States.
Advisers Of the administration pro-
pose to have no doubt of the constitu-
tionality of the proposed levies. The
tax upon bank circulation and the ex-
else taxes upon alcoholic liquors and
tobaccos are regarded as instances of
the federal governments right to tax
particular things. Both the income tax
and the corporation tax involve double
taxation in states imposing similar
leyies. and the language of the Under
wood act shows that such double taxa
tion was contemplated.
while 1t is true" said Mr.. Batchel-
der. that the possession of an indi-
vidual means Of transportation would
indicate fair degree of prosperity,
over one-half of the 2.250,000 auto
mobiles in use are popular priced We
hicles. and utility enters pronouncedly
into their incessant mileage. From the
moment the automobile hove in sight 1t
seemed to possess magnetic attrac-
ton to those who believe any innova-
tion should call for discouragement
rather than help.
Would Hit Small Property Owners.
1.-THE automobile has so completely
entered into every modern phase of
human existence that a taxation plan
which singles it out for the imposition
of another tax means that people in
moderate circumstances, and even COM
paratively small property owners. will
pay the greater part of the taxation
suggested in connection with the war
preparedness plan.
Transportation Of individuals and
IdFIn AHu manufactured pToductS are
an inseparable part of the daily ex-
istence of humans, and it is within the
exact truth to say that the self-pro-
PEELED vehicle has conferred more gem
uine benefits than any other invention
since the getting together of the thir-
teen original states.
1T would be well within the facts to
say that it will be quickly demonstrat-
ed that. before many days have passed,
the popularity and general use Of the
automobile will be made SO clear that
there will undoubtedly be reconsider
alton of again singing 1t out for an
additional tax on it's users"

tiers through the mails. was held here
before United States Commissioner
John w. Mason. Jr.. yesterday after
noon. The men mailed a letter from

would appear and ask for a IS box Of

who called for the money. Last week

Tony Peri was brought here from

Carlo Uuselma at the hearing yester.
day admitted his part in the affair.
He swore the other men offered him

him that sum to place a bomb under

declared he was acting under threats
against his own life when he assisted

when he went to Clarksburg to testi-
Sty for Peri at his trial there. The
government then withdrew the
charge against him. but he was held
as witness under bond Of 81, 800.
Both Trimbilo, who is a prosperous
merchant of Elkins, and Cianci were
held for tho action of the federal
court at Martinsburg under bond Of

CUT IN GLASS PRICES

The Western Jobbers' Association

recent cut OF 20 per cent in the lat

sion of nearly everything else.
The opinion was strongly advanc.

for the reduction, and that 1t had
been resorted to merely In the hope

Gently quoted.
The domestic market for glass OF
all kinds lie far below normal this
year From reliable figures the home
Gemand for window glass is of about
Icne-third. Had the foreign trade
live up to expectations, expectations
which were well based, this weak do
mstic market would not have beer
as much felt, but owing to difficulties
in getting the glass shipped after II
was sold to foreign customers, the
trade has amounted to but q fraction
of what 1t otherwise would have
been. Only four months of the bias.
