ASKS REGULATION
To BIND INDIVIDUAL
Attorney for Bankers Makes
Suggestion Regarding New
Revenue Bill.

Robert r. Reed Of New York. attor-
ney for an association of investment
bankers. expressed the belief before
the House ways and means commit
tee today that Congress. in the COM
ing revenue bill, should provide leg
isiation confirmatory of the Treasury
income tax regulations Sc as to take
the governments position in all cases
binding on the individual. He said
that under the present conditions the
regulations are binding on the gov
ernment, but not on the individual.
He advocated the creation of a board
OF review or adjustments in the
Treasury.

War taxes under the new revenue

ways and means committee disclosed

the committee. Albert r. Palmer OF
New York, representing a large num-
Der OF corporations, urged that such
provision be made. Details of the
scheme are yet to be worked out.
Mr. Palmer advocated tax on gross
sales. which he said would be less
felt than the tax on war profits. He
opposed tax on stock dividends, con.
tending that exemption from taxes
should not be based on capital, be.
cause of the widely varying revenue:
OF companies operating along the

gross income, which could be passed
along easily to the consumer.

Mr.. Peacock anticipates no deliber-

RANDALL AMENDMENT

Measure.

The Senate committee on agriculture

The Randall amendment was not
reached, but the committee expects to
complete the bill and report 1t to the

largely a tax on industry, and it would seem unreasonably excessive on one branch of industrial activity, already taxed heavily by the states.
 The proposed taxes WI hamper the agencies of production, the fuel and the power they employ. We might as we'll tax coal as gasoline, which is do- ing more than any other agency to re- leve the conditions resultant upon the scarcity of coal. It is estimated that the power generated by gasoline ex ceeds that generated by coal and steam nearly ten to one; the horse power produced by steam being esti mated at about 11,000,000 and that by gasoline at over 10O,0O0,000
 In these days when our social sys- tenn is on trial one of the chief con- cerns of the congress should be the safeguarding and the promotion of the sources of national wealth, this to the end that We may endure the great and prolonged strain to which the war will subject us. Industry is the greatest source of national wealth. Is it good economies to tax this greatest source of power known to American indus try? When we tax fuel, We tax in dustrial life at the very source of its vitality.
 In conclusion, might We again call notice to the present excessive taxing of motor cars in practically all states which in some instances includes reg 1 istration of car, its listing in the per sonal property tax, and the necessity of paying for an operating license fol each member of the family who drives the vehicle. Surely it is even now . ] plenteously taxed necessity.
 | Furthermore, the motor car owner is a citizen and as such meets other civic obligations and pays whatever genera taxes are imposed. He, however. senses unfairness in being conspicuously singled out every time there come! need for revenue increases.
 Very respectfully youTe,
 DAVID JAMESON,
 President.

CLOSED CARS ARE
 BECOMING POPULAR.

The closed type of motor car is coming into favor rapidly says Bert o. Brown, local Chevrolet dealers People are coming to more and more appreciate the wide range of utility it affords.
 Much more is demanded of a motor car today than ever before. It must be. first of all. a utility car, fit for any kind of service. It must be able to furnish, at all times. economical trans portation. It must afford comfort and convenience at all seasons of the year. If it answers a double purpose like the convertible type, all the better.
 Naturally, in seeking the ideal uti- ity car, the merits of the sedan or coupe assume a new significance Here is a machine which is really two cars in one. It is an exceedingly comfort able and enjoyable car to travel in, if the weather is wintry or tropical In summer. it is an open. easy riding touring car. In winter. warm, roomy closed car as comfortable as a cozy den. The up-to- date model of this type can be converted from a closed to an open car in a moments notice without changing the body. Special receptacles are provided into which the windows and posts are deposited. The roof is permanent.
 We are often prone to regard any important innovation as a luxury. Ii was so at first with the closed car But now it is possible to secure this style at modest figure and on ac- count of the double purpose it renders it is becoming a very popular type.
 Tn all there are three types ot closed car mounted an Chevrolet chassis-two sedans and a coupe. Five passenger sedan tyeps of bodies arc mounted on the PA" and Four Ninety chassis. and two passenger coupe or Four Ninety chassis"

LETTER TO K|TCH|N
 G|vESOWNERsv VIEW
 ON MOTOR TAXATION

Hon. Claude Kitchin, Chairman, and Members of the House Ways and Means Committee, Washington, D. C. Gentlemen:
 As the spokesman in an organized form of the motor car owners of the country, We did not seek a hearing be- fore your committee, as we are of the opinion that the preSen comprehensive use of the automobile is entirely clear to all of you. There are a few points however which, briefly, we would like to bring to your attention.
 or 1,79s, 600 motor vehicles produced in 1917, less than 3 per cent sold at $2.500 or upwards. Three out of every four cars cost not over $1,200 These 1865, 900 represented 76 per cent of the total. Every other car was of a cer- tain popular make selling close to $500. Farmers were the best buyers as a class, absorbing 53.1 per cent of the total vehicles manufactured.
 Our investigations recently by chair ment of the good roads, legislative, and touring boards supports anew the contention that the passenger automo- bile is now nineteenth for utility and scarcely one-tenth devoted to what has been designated as pleasure riding"
 
 be spent in the form of interstate road journeys and there may be local even ing and Sunday trips, but the fact re- mains that a preponderating percent age of the cars mileage is employed by members of the family to crowd more work into one day than was ever be- fore possible.
 If your committee decides that there should be substantial taxation of an essential like highways transportation and all forms are considered-we shall accept without protest your find ings, believing that war revenue nec- essities demand such action.
 Railroad conditions have compelled an increasing use of the highways. to the extent that long distance travelling is more general than in previous years. The figures come to us through the distribution of thousands of maps by the road bureaus at our national head quarters in Washington and New York, besides which we supply ouI several hundred clubs in all parts oi the country.
 One Illuminating example of what can be done where highway is con- structed capable of meeting present present maximum traffic demands, eX-
 
 connecting Cleveland and Akron. A census for a week, taken in March by students of the Case School of Ap- piled Sciences, gave a total of 1897! vehicles, of which only 6S5 were horse drawn. Fifteen per cent of the tota were motor trucks which carried 5,01l tons of freight as compared to 6,63t tons shipped by three railroads Thirty three thousand people wer, transported in passenger automobiles Proposed levies upon users of gaso line motors and engines would amour 10 about one-quarter of a billion dol lars. Purchasers of new cars, of course would pay the tax imposed on tn dealer. who would pass it along" tt the consumer. The gasoline tax woul' he determined by the cars mileage which undoubtedly would be reduce' 10 a minimum federal license ta, in addition 10 that now imposed in al states is manifestly unfair, and espe cially so if based on the original pric of the automobile.

TIRES THAT WEAR
 EASE CURTA|LMENT

In the opinion of some of the Akron tire manufacturers, the salvation of motorists, when the big curtailment in tire production begins to be felt seri- ouSly, depends almost entirely on the quality of tires they use.
 It is now generally known that for war reasons the output of each pneu matic tire manufacturer for August and September of this year has been cut to 50 per cent of the output for the corresponding months last year.
 It is also stated on the best of au thority that no definite improvement of the situation is apparent just at this time. Scarcity of tires seems immi- nent. Therefore, it is argued, the con- sumer who fares best will be the one who purchases the longest wearing tires.
 "A shortage of tires would naturally mean a greater demand than ever for the highest grades of castings and tubes declared F. c. Millhoff, general sales manager of the Miller Rubber company. to newspaper men the other day. The silver lining in this parti- cular war cloud is the fact that the tire manufacturers were never in position to give the motor car user such big return on his investment, as they are today.
 Tn our own case, for example, we know that our product never before reached the high stage of perfection that it now maintains and. of course. this is true of many other companies.
 "A few years ago we set at work to make Miller tires uniform in wearing qualities. There were those who laughed at such an idea. They argued that as long as tires were built by diff ferent men, those tires would have diff ferent qualities. Our theory was that if the men were of uniform experience and workmanship. the tires would be uniform Within the last year, Miller Uniform tires have been perfected our theory proved practicable and I can say conservatively that this one make of tires alone will represent a saving of thousands of dollars in tire bills to motorists during the coming months
 Not only will the demand be for tires that wear the longest, but it will include tires that give maximum rid ing comfort. thereby adding to the lifetime of the cars equipped with them A buoyant. resilient tire-o:e that neutralizes road shocks-will add surprisingly to the service of the cal itself. And that is just what consum- CTS want nowadays, they want the big geSt possible return on every invest. ment that pertains to motor vehicles.
 Tn this connection, it should be re membered that there is a great pos sibility of a much more serious short age of cars than of tires. Therefore buy your new cars and tires now ant get only those of the best quality ! Cheap goods have no place in the af fairs of today"

MAXWELL DEALER
 FINDS GAS WELL

How would you like to own a gaso- line well-not an oil well-but an hOnest-to goodness gasoline well whose product you could pour directly into the fuel tank of your car. and then crank up.and go on your way rejoicing? It sounds almost too good to be true, but H. O. Waterman, loyal citizen of Ventura, California, and Maxwell dealer under Harold l.. Arnold. of Los Angeles, has found just such well, short distance north of Ventura on the road to Ojal.
 The well which, incidentally, has established new worlds record for quantity production of extreme high grade, has produced as high as 135 barrels per day of "ol'' of 56 to 57 gravity. When it is considered that the average gasoline that you buy today tests about 5S gravity. it can be readily seen that the new well is in class decidedly by itself.
 Waterman brought pictures of the well, and of himself pouring it's product direct into the gasoline tank of his Maxwell, and he declares that the Maxwell apparently did not have the slightest suspicion but what it had been fed high grade refined gasoline At any rate IL aSSlmlldted the natural gasoline without giving the slightest hint of difficulty.
 The new well is a good indica ton of | the wide range of California's oil prod ucts. The big Montebello field neal l Los Angeles, of which so much has been heard recently. produces vast ] quantities of oil, but it contains practi 1 cally no gasoline. No gasoline what ever results from putting the Monte bello oil through the ordinary distilla- tion process. While the Ventura wells | product, when bleached with acid tC remove a yellow tint. is virtually z | good righ- grade gasoline and nothing else, without any distillation process
 A considerable quantity of water accompanies the gasoline in the Ven tura we'll, but it does not occasion an, difficulty. So light is the "oil tha separation from the water is instan as quick as the settling tanks ar,
 reached.
 "I suppose good many people vii
 be inclined to be skeptical about tn, l existence of such a we'll" said Water
 man. 'Tll admit I was little skeptica
 myself until I actually burned some o
 the product in the Maxwel.'

The following extract from letter sent by the Stanley Motor Carriage company of Newton, Mass. to the Ari- zona Steam Motors Co.,. the local dis tributors of the Stanley Steamer is Of interest to auto owners here:
 We have on good authority that the government has given every phase of the situation serious consideration: and has concluded that concerns that are producing 1.200 cars or less, should be encouraged to go ahead instead of discouraged, as their factories and facilities are not well adapted to the government work to good advantage. The government knows of course, that passenger cars are a necessity. and also it knows that it must eliminate the unnecessary use of pleasure cars. We have good reason to believe that our car will be looked on with favor because of the limited production of our factory and the general economy of operation"
