WAR TAX
ISUNP0PULAR
Dealer Says Autos Should
Not Be Singled Out for
Special Levy.

The enactment OF an additional tax
upon automobile manufacturers and
wholesalers was q direct blow at the
industry. in the opinion OF r. Z. Lewis
OF the Pierce-Arrow agency. Why
motor cars should be placed in the
same category with cosmetics and
music boxes and singled out for an
other special tax levy, is a refusal
by congress to recognize their util-
ity. he says.
The automobile has passed the
stage where IL could be regarded as
a pleasure vehicle only" the local
dealer declared. Although Il is true
that a small percentage Of passenger
cars may serve no other use, IL would
be a difficult matter TO single out any
automobile in FL Paso that serves
only this purpose. It is the injustice
Of the tax that has aroused such
feeling among the industry.
AS an example OF this unfairness,
there is large number Of motor
boats that are owned for no other
purpose except the pleasure their
owners derive from their use. Yet
motor boats are not included in the
new tax scheme. The horse drawn
vehicle is not taxed, the bicycle is not
taxed, nor is the passenger carrying
steamboat
Then, too. It is difficult to imagine
any reason why the purchaser Of an
automobile today should have TO pay
more for IL than did the buyer one
week ago. This action is putting an
unjust burden on the future car buy
er- II the tax had TO be. then why not
have made il a blanket one on all
motor cars in use in the country in
stead Of only those that will be
bought after the levy becomes ef-
fective?"
cars assessed against the factories.
This, naturally. IS added to the pur-
chase price as the makers have been
forced to increase the cost already
because Of higher wages and mate
rails

RAIDERS LURED TO DESTRUCTION.
British Disguised Cruiser as Freight
er

New York, March 22.--The manner
in which swift British cruiser disguised
itself as a numbering cargo steamship
and lured two German raiders on to bat
tie and sank them near Pernambuco,
Brazil, was described by a passenger who
arrived here yesterday OH the Lamport
4 Holt liner Byron from Buenos Aires.
Lester Roberts, a British coffee mer-
chant of Pernambuco, was the passen-
ger who told the sorry of the battle. He
said that with the sinking of the two
raiders. it was fairly certain that South
American waters had been cleared of
German ships. Despite this the Byron,
which left Buenos Aires on Feb 25, made
the trip without lights at night. Electric
flashlights were even taken away from
passengers by the crew
Following the raids on British com
merce near South America in January,
the British prepared trap. A swift
cruiser, capable of making from twenty
two to twenty five knots, was disguised
as a slow moving freight steamer by
repainting the sides and boxing in the
decks This ship was detailed to steam
slowly along the coast to act as bait for
the raiders.
She cruised back and forth along the
coast for some time without success. At
length on Feb. p two mysterious ships
were sighted bearing down upon her.
The disguised raider put on steam and
started away. As she ran she sent a
wireless call to the British cruiser
to summon her to battle.
When the chase had lasted some time
and the Amethyst had responded she
was coming to help the disguised cruiser
suddenly opened up her decks and cleared |
her guns for action. She slowed down, |
lei the two mysterious ships come up |
and then opened fire. Immediately the |
two pursuing ships ran up the German !
flag. A running fight followed for an
hour and half before the Amethyst I
arrived
The entire battle covered period OF
,ix hours. The two raiders were finally
sunk at point about fifty or sixty
niles from Pernambuco. The first word
If it reached Brazil when the Amethyst
md the disguised cruiser put into Per
lambuco for repairs. A part of the Am

The disguised cruiser was not greatly

V repaired at Pernambuco the Amethyst
proceeded to Montevideo for permanent
epalrs.
