Auton1obiing
By C. E. T. Scharps


AikHI LdHPo 1O-udy, o.O0 Pill
Every we'll constituted department
has its "contribs" day, upon which oc-
casion the editor thereof lets some one
else, for change, have say. This
is the first regular day of that sort
for The Tribune's automobile depart
ment, covering the following:
Dear Sir-1 note your article in
The Tribune this morning in regard
to accidents from wheels coming off
OF cars and observed in both cases
mentioned it was the left wheel
which cleft" the car.
These accidents could be avoided
If the manufacturers would put left
hand threads on the nuts holding the
left wheel.
Years ago l owned an old "two-
cycle" Atlas car which had q. left
hand thread on the left wheel. but
now have an up-to-date "six" and
note the note on the left wheel is
right hand, and | presume most of
the modern cars are the same.
think some of the old ideas were
good, after ALL as left hand thread
on left wheel would tighten up in
stead of running off if the cotter pin
came out. "OLD TIMER"
Middlctown, N. Y.
Sr--I have seen it stated that
there are five million automobiles in
the United States; but, to be mod
crate, let US assume that there are
three millions. If we suppose them
TO average IN value one thousand
dollars each, we have toltal value
OF three thousand million dollars. A
Federal tax of 10 per cent per annum
upon this sum would produce three
hundred million dollars annually.
enough to build twenty battleships
every year.
think an annual tax of this kind
would produce more immediate and
steadier revenue than tax of 20
per cent upon every new automobile
sold by the manufacturer.

1t will, of course. be necessary. to
break the sustained silence of couple
of paragraphs to say of Mr.. Shadweil's
hgures that they err bit on the high
side. The average of automobile prices
IN tins country is about $500, rather
than $1,000. Of course, the aggregate
value of 100000 cars at $500 a piece
is no inconsiderable sum. But our un.
derstanding of luxury tax is that it
is intended to curb demand for lux
urles and thereby curtail their output
saving labor and materials for wal
purposes. In the case of automobiles
already manufactured and in owners
hands this cannot apply. AS for reve.
nue taxes, we have them already on
autom moblles. There is to be an oper-
ators license tax on cars generally
but, of course, nothing like 10 per cent

Metals

No change in the copper situation was
reported yesterday. The demand con-
tinues to be considerable, but most of
the consumption of this metal is by
the government for war purposes.
More lead is being sought than is of
fered, and it is understood that all
metal marketed is at the maximum
price. But there is not much business
being done in lead. Spelter was firm
in price and the market was quiet.
Current prices for the principal
metals, compared with those prevail
ing year ago, follow:
