La Toilette spoke for three hours

" against any effort on the part OF
the United States to become an ally

was an absolute parallel betwee9 the

Andrews COMES
TO SUPPORT OF
ARMY OFFICERS
Says Only Guests" Here and
Should Not Pay Taxes on
Their Automobiles

In view Of the fact that Speaker H.
T. Holsteine IN a Fespluti ion. has direct
90 the IInanne e0r1n1itt< - IL the liozise
to find out why, during the last two
years, taxes have not been collected
from army officers owning automo-
bfles, Representative Iorrin Andrews
comes to the support Of the officers
with the argument that they should
not be required to pay taxes on their
cars.
: Andrews has introduced d resolution
exempting all army officers from pay
ing such taxes, and he declares he will
work as best he can to have 1t passed.
The army officers are here neither
as tourists or permanent residents,'
declared Andrews. Their duties com.
these islands They have to travel as
rapidly as possible between certain
points as q part Of their duty, and this
speed only can be accomplished by
the use Of automobiles,
Only Guests Here
Many of these officers are not get
ting large salaries and many have
families or other relatives 10 support
They have to 60 where they are told.
As q matter of fact they are really
guests here, whether they are here one
year, three years or five years. Il
seems to me unfair to tax them for
their automobiles which they find
necessary to use in the performance
of their duties.
"As to the argument that they are
using our roads, they certainly are do
ing more good by helping 10 protect
the territory than they are doing dam
age to the roads.
Il believe, however, that the terri
tory should enforce its laws, and be-
lieve Speaker Holste;n is right in
wanting to find out why these taxes
have not been collected. BuI believe
II Is unfair to tax the army officers
for their machines and that is why
have introduced the bill.
Il further believe that, until this bill
becomes q law, If 1t does become a
law, It Is the duty OF the assessors to
collect auto taxes from the army Off
GERS, as II Is the duty Of the assessors
TO enforce the law"
The supreme court has held that
army officers are liable to payment of
taxes for their privately-owned ma
chimes.
