NEW AUTO TAX IS
FROM $1,000 TO $SI.25

Automobile tax under the new law
will range from SO for "A car or motor
cycle costing $500 or less. to sS1.25 for
a car costing $4,000. with additional
fee at the rate of $3.50 for each addi-
tional $1,000 of cost.
License tax for cars costing various
intermediate sums will he as follows:
81, 900. license $l3.75; Si,5oO. $3.50;
$1,000. $1aTj: $4,000. $2l25; 100000.
$2S75; $4,000. s43.75. $4,000. sS1.25.
Comparison of the new law with the
old ,as ii affects various cars is almost
impossiblc in view Of the entire differ
ence of basis upon which the tax is
laid. The old tax was based upon
horsepower at the rate of 30 cents for
each estimated unit Of power Upon "A
car rated as having twenty horsepower,
the tax was $1,000.
The seal" ranged gradually up thru
$50 for "a forty horsepower car to $iJ
for "A ninety horsepower car There was
no tax under the old law upon money
spent in luxurious furnishings and 9TH
er EXPENSES of the ear in addition to
power and the quality of the engine
was not considered.
The new law provides Il tax of so
upon each automobile or motorcycle
for $500 or less in cost and 75 cents
additional for each 500 of cost above
the minimum.
All vehicles now in use will be COM
puted on the 1916 cost, but all new ones
purchased after Jan. /, 1920. will be
figured at the cost beginning with the
first of the year.
In regard to trucks. the law says:
"On motor trucks of 1,500 pounds car
rying capacity or less. SIS; from 1900
to 1000 pounds, 500: from 1000 to
5000 pounds. $25; from 5000 to 1000
$40" and from 5000 to 10000 pounds
carrying capacity and upwards, $500"

CONGRESS HAS
 RESUMED WORK
Faces One of the Busiest Ses- sions in History, and Stagger- ing Array of Problems to Be Solved.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Returning to work today after two weeks holiday congress faces one of the busiest ses- sions in history and staggering arr ray of problems awaiting solution. In addition to inumerable domestic mat ters some of which will have far reaching effect on the industrial life of the country there are international questions of far reaching import that must be settled including the treaty of peace with Germany and Austria. Adjournment was not expected be- fore fall! and the only break in the long session that members can look forward to is the brief recess that will be taken coincident with the holding of the national party conventions dur ing the summer. But despite the mass of work ahead there were indications
 aplenty that ample time would be found for partisan politics and no an- gle of the coming presidential election would be overlooked. Political speech es in record breaking numbers were
 looked for.
 Besides the treaties with Germany and with Austria international prob lens to be considered at the resumed session include the proposed alliance with France, the Panama Canal settle ment with Colombia, treaties with Po-
 land and, possibly, Turkey and mum erous measures dealing with the war changed conditions cf American com mercial and financial relations abroad. Important domestic legislation
 awaiting action includes the railroad
 organization bills and the oil, coal,
 gas and phosphate land leasing bill, both of which are now in conference; army reorganization, shipping legisla- tion, control of undesirable aliens and on scores of other subjects. Many in
 vestigators have also been arranged for both by the senate and house. Mil itary committees will make inquiry into war activities, other committees into the Mexican situation, the coal strike, bolshevismfi and the Ford New berry election. The senate this after noon will take up the house water power development.
