Motorists Here Say Three
Taxes Now Imposed Are
More Than Enough.
UNABLE TO SEE REASON
Commissioners May Decide to Tax
Horsepower-Dis.riet Gets $22.508
from Local Machines.

Let well enough alone" is the pre-
vailing sentiment among local motor
lists over the question of annual Ii
censes for automobiles, as was pro-
posed by the Commissioners of the
District in their recent report to Con-
gress. The motoring public believe
! that II is paying more than its share
of revenue into the District Golfers.
In addition to paying So for a Ii
cense tag. motorists must also pay a
like amount for an Operators permit.
In addition to this. they are paying a
personal property tax on their ma
chimes. However. under the proposed
measure. the personal property tax
would be eliminated. The rate of tax
on personal property in the District
is s1.50 a hundred, so that the man
who owns a motor car of the value
Of $1,000, which is a fair average
value for machines in Washington, is
paying a personal property tax of
for a license tag. the latter being
good. though. for as long as he owns
the machine.
Just how the Commissioners pro-
pose to determine the annual registra-
tion fee they do not set forth. but it
is to be presumed that II is to be a
horsepower tax. similar to that in ef-
feet in number OF States where the
annual registration of motor cars is
now in effect.
As 1t is now a man who purchases an
automobile after July / can operate 1t
until July l OF the following year with
out having topay a personal property tax
on II. At the end of this time, the tax
is assessed and is not payable until the
following May. On motor cars a depre-
citation of twenty-five per cent per an
mum is allowed SO that in reality the
tax would only be on $500.

WHY "AN-URIC"
Is An INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN Death
Sufferers from Baekahe, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Uric" is the most powerful agent in
dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar, besides being absolutely
harmless and is endowed with other
properties. for it preserves the kid

roughly cleansing them. Being so
many times moro active than lithia. it
clears the heart valves of any sandy
substances which may clog them and
checks the degeneration of the blood
vessels, as well as regulating blood
pressure. "An-uric is a regular in

by Shells Says London Times.

London, June 22.-David Lloyd
George. minister of munitions. who
returned from weekend stay at Bo-
logne, where he consulted Albert
Thomas French, under-Secretary of
war, on the munitions question. is
forming committees in London, as well
as IN all manufacturing towns. to take
advantage of every possibility for in
creaSing the production of munitions.
The munitions supply is the gravest
problem confronting the allies in all
theaters of war.
The Times this morning prints
dispatch from its correspondent in
{ tern France, who asserts that if
the French troops are to drive home
their offensive in overwhelming force
they must use tremendously in
creased bulk of ammunition. The
same lesson comes for England from
the Woevre front, he points out while
the retreat of the Russian armies in
Galicia hammers it home again.
The correspondent says the daily
output of shells certainly is much
larger than it was four months ago
and that it is possible that a reserve
supply of ammunition is being built
up much more rapidly than is appar
ent at the front but. he adds. what
we have come to is the redemption of
the world by Shells
