DEALERS SEEK
REVENUE RULING
Lack Prewar Figures on
Which to Base Their
Profits.

What percentage of invested capital
may concern dealing in automobiles
. take as a war profit credit in its re-
turn of income for 1918 under the war
revenue act of 1915, is the question
taken up with Commissioner Roper by
the attorneys of the National Auto
mobile Dealers Association upon the
request Of a Kansas City dealer who
felt that his business should be given
different median classification than
the wholesale dry goods, butcher, gro
ceries and like businesses.
The decision in this case will be par
hcularly valuable because it concerns
a company that did its first business
in 1915, and consequently has no pre-
war average upon which to figure
Its profits. 1t is estimated that 50 per
cent OF the dealers in this country are
in similar quandary.
commissioner Roper has instruct
ed the company in question to take
10 per cent of its invested capital
Tor the taxable year in order to
hgure out its amount for credit un-
til list of medians can be arrived
at. As the board of review is now
going over these medians a final
ruling will probably be arrived at
within the next thirty days. II a
sum greater than 10 per cent is al
lowed refunds will be arranged,
probably by allowing credits in sue
cessive payments.
One dealer who was questioned gave
as his profits 81 per cent net on his
invester capital for the prewar Pc
riod. Another dealer gave his pre-
war net profit as 50 per cent. Still
( another company made an average
of 81 per cent on both invested capt
tai OF $1,000. and its borrowed capi-
tai Of 10000. Had Il done this in
a war-year period, it would have lost
credit for 81 per cent OF its profits
according to the presenet 10 per cent
median.
That the n A D. A may further
cooperate with the board OF review
which is going over these medians
II has asked dealers who We're in
business during :he prewar period 10
furnish a statement Of their profits
. Immediately.

DEALERS WANT
RULING ON TAX
New Firms, Established
, Since 1914, Unable to
Figure War Profits.

81 Louis, Mo-, Aug. s.-The Ma
tional Automobile Dealers Association
mas taken up with Revenue Commits
sioner Roper the question of how much
invested capital a motor car concern
may take as a war-profit credit in its
return Of income under paragraph 2,
subsection c Of Section 81 Of the War
Revenue Act OF 1918
The decision was asked at the re-
quest Of Kansas City member whose
RFm began business in 1915, and has
no pre-war average upon which to
hgure its profits. The dealer asked
mat his business may have a different
classification from such lines as whole
sale dry goods, butchers. grocers or
the like.
Harry C. Moock. business man
ager of the y. A D. A. estimates
that the ruling will AFFECT about
% per cent OF the dealers of the
country, who entered the field since
1914 or whose bookkeeping meth
ods have been incomplete.
Instructions have been issued by
Commissioner Roper that the COM
Pany should take 10 per cent of its
invested capital for the taxable
year to figure out its amount for
credit until a list OF the medians
can be arrived at. which probably
VIII be within the next thirty days.
The profits reported by one deal
er were 81 per cent net on his in
vested capital for the pre-war
period, anOther's profit was so per
cent An average of 81 per cent on
poth invested capital of $4,000 arII
borrowed capital OF 500 600 was
made by one company.

the pre-war period are being asked
py the \. A D. A to furnish 4

One OF the first uses OF the air.
plane as an emergency speed car
rier was marked when B. H. Salyers,
of the J. T. Stewart Motor Company.
of Omaha, Nebr.. distributors of
New Victory Mitchells flew from
Omaha to Fremont to close d con-
tract for Mitchells with the Ideal
Motor Company, of the latter city.
About a week before the flight.
Salyers called upon the Ideal Motor
Company to interest them in the
Mitchell line. They explained that
nearly all the automobile distribu-
tors from Omaha had called upon
them within the past few days and
they had made up their minds not
to do anything until a new building
on which they were at work was
completed.
About 6 o'clock one evening the
Mitchell salesman got word that the
building was completed and the
Ideal Motor Company ready to close
a contract. In order to save time
they were anxious to make an an
nouncement of the new connection
in the morning edition Of the local
newspapers the following day. Sal
yers said he made up his mind that
when that announcement was made
ii would include notice TO the effect
that they had taken on the Mitchell
line. The last train for Fremont
for the night had already left so
there was no chance of getting over
the same evening and things looked
blue for the Mitchell.
Furthermore, it was obvious that
statesmen for all the other distribu-
tors in Omaha would be on the first
train out in the morning to close
the deal in Fremont and IN order
to be the early bird on the job
something would have to be done
quick.
The following morning Salyers
called up the Ideal Motor Company
in Fremont and without explaining
what was on foot, asked them to
meet him at the big field one mile
south Of Fremont at 7:4a. They
agreed to do this and at 7:20 he got
in Victory Mitchell, drove the five
miles to the hangers in eight min
utes, jumped from the automobile
into the airplane and in twenty
two minutes was shaking hands
with Christensen, of the Ideal Motor
Company, Of Fremont
Salyers admits that he was in the
best of condition to be shaking
hands for he was shaking all over
anyway. Going up and the trip
over were eXhilarating, but drop

DUST FINDS PUNCTURE

Sometimes an inner tube receives a
puncture big enough to allow the tire
to become refiexed after a brief in
terval but not visible to the naked eye.
When this happens in the garage
the bucket of water tells the tale at
once. but on the road about the only
way of locating the leak is to initiate
the tube and hold successive portions
of it close down to the dust along the

Defective Feed Line a
Likely Trouble Source

When the engine. after being started,
runs for a minute or two and then
stops. the first place to look for trouble
is in the gasoline feed line. A partial
stoppage in the pipe will lessen the
flow Of fuel so that the float chamber
fills slowly. On being started the mo-
tor at once consumes this gasoline
and then has to wait for more.
There is another possible cause of
this trouble, and that is the float of
the carbureter sticking. OF course, IL
the float Is stuck in a high position
the flow Of fuel will be greatly lessened
or even stopped.

"Cuttle6sh Paper" Used
To Clean Ignition Points

1t is sometimes difficult to find a
really satisfactory agent for cleaning
the contact points of ignition appa-
ratus or the surface of a commuta-
tor on starting motor or a lighting
dynamo. There is something known
as ''cuttlefish paper" which is finer
than the finest quality of sandpaper
and which is very well adapted to this
operation.
Cuttlefish paper is not regularly car
ried by hardware stores, but 1t may
be obtained from dental supply
houses.
