VAR TAX LEVIED ON AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IS EXCESSVEl

Of an automobile has almost altogether
been the cause Of their wide adoption.
The automobile manufacturer has un-
doubtedly been wise IN the adoption OF
the policy of reducing prices whenever
possible, as the demand has seemed to
broaden out most remarkably, as prices
have lowered.
THE industry Is now confronted with
advancing prices. There Is no piece of
machinery made where the risk In the
business Il nearly SO great as in the
manufacture OF the automobile. but that
has advanced within the last few months
to a much greater extent than have auto
mobiles. That is, the automobile manu-
facturer has been the last to advance
prices and even then, his advances have
nowhere near absorbed the advance cost
of materials and labor in their mantfac-
turing.
"If the per cent gross business tax
as proposed. SHOULD be finally enacted,
the necessity thus created for further
advance In price would deal a blow to
the industry. coming on top OF the ne
cessity for advances arising from the ad-
ditionaI cost in manufacturing. This Is
the real situation and from 1t the prac-
teal view must be taken on what can
or what cannot be done In this indus
try and still permit II to progress. 1t is
was made up proposing to tax automo-
bile business, per cent greater tax
than any Of the other industries, the eX-
tent Of the industry was not fully under
stood.
TT Is said to be now, the second larg-
est industry in the United States In
volume, representing at consumers price,
nearly one. and one-haf billion dollars
per annum.
THE automobile business gives en-
pIoyment, II Is conservatively estimated.
to more than 100000 OF the country's
citizens. Its ramifications are perhaps
wider in this respect upon everyday life,
than almost any other industry. There
fore. to shatter or stagger this business,
would not only bring disaster upon a
large number of those engaged in II, but
would have a serious effect upon the
financial condition of the country. The
male voting population in the United
States is approximately 100000. From
one-ffth to one-sixth, therefore, Of this
voting population Is now in some way
interested in the automobile business. To
disastrously AFFECT a business Of so
broad a scope could not have any other
result but q serious one upon the rest
Of the Industrial part Of the country.
1T seems. therefore, that the truth
about the automobile business has not
been perfectly understood The leS1sla-
tors could not have had a good under
standing OF It when they proposed to
put a special tax on the business that
would amount almost to a confiscatory
tax upon this great industry. The auto
mobile manufacturer above all things,
does not want to be misunderstood, but
II seems that he Is misunderstood. They
do not want the public to think that
they are in any way seeking to avoid
their Just share OF the nations burden.
All they ask Is that they be treated as
other Of the nations great industries are
treated"

Model Ford Factory.

The Ford Motor Company's local
branch, Four-and-a-half street and Penn
sylvania avenue, has on exhibition q
miniature model of the Ford factory at
Detroit. showing the entire plant. receiv-
ing and loading docks, power house and
administration buildings. This model
was on exhibition at the San Francisco
exhibition.
There isn't a single detail missing
from the tiny power plant where the elec-
trical appliances which supply the mo-
tive power for the entire factory can be
seen in operation; the machine shops,
foundry, garage, the overhead monorail
system with Its miniature monorail cars,
showing how transportation of materials
Is facilitated by picking up boxes and
trays which are carried overhead from
point to point in the shop, the overhead
cranes used to carry cumbersome parts
Of machinery to and from the tool con-
struction department down to the piles
OF lumber and raw materials along the
miniature railroad tracks and the incom-
ing and outgoing freight cars
This model Is about by I6 feet is
made upon scientific lines and was de-
signed by q Ford employe and built a.
the Ford factory. It clearly shows the
magnitude Of the Ford factory, and
CieNef little schefne Is worked out where
by miniature Ford cars shoot out from
the tiny final assembly department and
pass down along the line.
When this miniature model was frst
received in Washington the flags of all
nations proudly fioated over one of the
main buildings, as Is the case at the
Ford factory. Several days after war
had been declared a local Ford employe
discovered that the German nag was
still among the others and promptly
hauled It down.
The miniature plant Is conspicuously
displayed in one OF the large windows
facing Pennsylvania avenue and Is at
tracing considerable attention. Mr.. Ed
ward Anderson, of the Ford Motor Com
pany' states that visitors from all parts
Of the country, passing from the Capitol
to the White House, have commented
favorably on It.
Mr.. Anderson states he is always glad
to show visitors through this miniature
Ford factory, and win also be delighted
to take them through the local branch
where Ford cars are daily being assem-
bled.
The Washington herald., 1917-05-27

The Roamer, one of the most discussed
Of the newcomers at the New York Motor
Show, has come to Washington. 1t will
be distributed by the Roamer Sales Com
pany, with salesrooms at s12 Fifteenth
street. A. ]. Moore is in charge as gen.
eral manager.
The Roamer cars are built IN two types
Of chassis and many styles of bodies. The
two designs are known as the "six-4o'
and "Six-90"
Each car is painted and trimmed to or
der. giving the owner an automobile that
Is distinctive and one that reflects the
taste OF the Individual. Every car is fin
ished by hand and the painting requires
many operations to complete. The proc
ess of enamel baking, so common with
the cheap automobile, is foreign to the
Roamer builders. The interior finish for
the touring and roadster types is the fln-
est grade of leather, while rich velours
and whipcords are used in the town cars.
A truly artistic spirit is back of the
Roamer and many very effective and dis
tinctive color schemes have been worked
out and offered for the consideration and
guidance of the purchaser.
Some OF these suggestions follow:

TAX ON AUTOMOBILES
FAR FROM EQUITABLE
Benjamin Briseoe Declares Proposed
Levy VIII Bring Disaster.

The proposed bill Of the Ways anc
Means Committee OF the House TO put
a special tax upon the automobile m
dustry Of 5 per cent on the gross busi-
ness done, would very seriously hamper
the automobile business The automo-
bile men now IN washington, are not
seeking in any way to evade their just
proportion Of taxation The only t1fns
they ask Is that the automobile business
be treated the same as any other OF tne
great businesses Of the Countrywide steel
business, the copper business, the oil
business, the shoe and clothing business
They do not ask for any special con-
sideration whatever, as would seem 10
be the Indication by some OF the argu-
ments in Congress-
Mr.. Briscoe, the head OF the Brisco
Motor Corporation, Is one Of the auto
mobile manufacturers now in the city
with the object Of furnishing information
and statistics, which would make possi-
BILE an Intelligent consideration OF the
taxation problem as applied to the auto
mobile industry.
He said in an interview that there
seemed to be a misconception on the part
Of the legislators with reference to the
ability Of the automobile Industry to ABB
sorb 100000 in taxes.
The arguments that have been ad-
vanced by the various Congressman VINO
have spoken for the automobile subject,
have entirely disregarded the funda-
mental conditions that exist in the auto
mobile conditions today" he said. Sta
tistics referring to the business Of 1872,
1914. 1915 and even 1916, are entirely irrele-
want as applying to the situation that
exists now. Probably there Is no COM
modify that has been affected by the ad-
vances in the cost Of materials Ps the
automobile Virtually every component
material Of the complete automobile, has
scored tremendous advance during the
last few months The prices of auto
mobiles must necessarily be made for an
advance period. The materials that enter
into the construction OF automobiles have
been advancing weekly by leaps and
bounds, so that the cost of production
today is very much more in proportion
TO its selling price than it was even sixty
days ago.
The automobile manufacturer has not
been able to advance his prices at all
commensurate with the advances In the
cost Of materials The reason for this
being that he feared II he advanced his
price commensurate with even a fair
profit based upon present material, he
would lose his market.
TT Is an undeniable fact that the lower
ing in the prices OF automobiles within
the last three or four years has lead tc
the vast increase in the number OF auto
mobiles used. In other words, the price

NORWALK Tires MADE
BY NEWEST PROCESS

Norwalk tires, agency in Washington
for which has recently been closed with
the Becker Leather Goods Company,
though practically new to this city, bear
a splendid reputation in other centers.
Especially in this so among tire repair
men, whose knowledge of tires is
necessarily broad.
The builders have Incorporated unus-
ually long fiber fabrics, heavy layers OF
pure gum friction, and tough, pliable
treads. The service OF the Norwark is
guaranteed through their local distrfb-
utter, and virtually eliminates the neces-
sity Of factory adjustments when they
may be necessary.
The tubes, like the castings, are hand
made and built by the laminated process
laying thin plies OF rubber together and
welding them into q whole. This process
practically eliminates leaks. The writ
ten guarantee OF the builder against set
ting-becoming baggy-is an additional
assurance of the user. The factory boasti
that the tube is made OF from IS to 81
per cent pure rubber, arguing that only
under such conditions could this guaran
tee be extended.
Says c. A. Camelier, who manages thii
department for Beckers:
I'm other words, rubber being tho only
commodity that can be stretched and
will come back to its normal size, Il
would not be possible to build this tube
Of anything but rubber that would mo-
take a set in proportion TO the amount
of substitutes used in its construction
These tubes have an elongation of from
S75 to 900 per cent and q tensile strength
of from 2s5o to 5000 pounds. This, BY
exhaustive tests by our factory experts
is unusually high, and a rare attrfoutt
in modern tubes"
