has been forced out OF business, II Is
shown. by an unforeseen event when
financial support was inadequate. In
no industry is the overhead expense
greater, and for that reason the slight
est detection in its narrow margin of
profits is likely TO cause serious trou-
BILE and force tens OF thousands of
men out OF work.
Motor Cars Necessary.
"Automc biles are at this tine as
great a national necessity as the rail-
roads and steel mills" said Toledo
business man. Suspension Of their
manufacture would find us in the
same condition that prevailed over
Europe when the governments. took
over the few plants they had fer md
milton manufacturing. Furthermore,
we would find ourselves even In q
more depl0I able condition than Eu-
rope was in, because We would have
no market to go to in order to get
the cars. Europe came to the United
States, and her requirements were
filled.
Not only would the availability of
the necessary number of cars be
threatened, but the throwing out of
work of automobile employees would
imperil millions Of dollars worth of
business of other kinds. In Toledo,
for example, che big Willys-Overland
factory is practically indispensable to
the city. Its more than 1900 EN-
ployes and their families make up
large part of the city's Inhabitants,
and were those men forced out Of
work a local panic would be immi-
nent. Besides those employees. there
are thousands OF others employed in
the making of materials and parts. 1t
is safe to say that more than 100,000
Individuals are dependent on that one
Institution for their means OF liveli-
hood.
Industry n Big Asset
Toledo appreciates that the auto
mobile industry is too valuable an
asset to imperil It with an unjust tax
in proportion to its small margin OF
profit on the investment at this criti-
cal point in the nations business ca
reer. We are absolutely opposed to
any tax which would threaten the
very life of our most important in
dustry.'
The names of the men quoted are
not given for the reason that they do
not wish to be subject to any possible
charge of unpatriotic effort to avoid
taxation. Both of them, however,
are enthusiastic supporters of special
taxation as long as II does not i'm
peril the source from which It is de-
rived.

the shooting started that she could
hardly give an account of it. Peterson
