CARS MUCH |MP PROVED
 SAYS TRUST C0.

That there has been a steady and definite improvement in the wearing qualities of American motor cars is proved by figures compiled by the Cleveland Trust company. If one takes the total number of cars reg istered in 1919, for instance, and the total number sold in the United States during the year, one can de- termine from the 1920 total registra- tions how many cars were worn out in 1919
 The figures show that in 1915 14.5 per cent of the cars in use were elin- mated; in 1916, 10 per cent were dis carded In 1917 only Is per cent dropped out, in 1918, 5.3 per cent and 1919, 5.9 per cent.
 With better roads cars travel far ther on the average each year. and yet they are lasting more years" said H. NJ. Jewett, president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company, in com menting on these figures. Our rec ords on our cars also clearly demon strate this.
 "A few years ago 5o,OO0 miles was looked upon as absolutely the max imum life of a motor car. Yet there is in operation between Gooding and Jerome, Idaho, a Paige seven pas senger touring car that has turned ur over 100000 miles in something over three years, and is still in service It makes three to four round trips each day in stage service over the rough Idaho highway, loaded with passengers and baggage. This indi- cates what modern, well built cars will do."

In the picture above, the part the automobile is playing in winter bath ing is well typified. The car itself is of a type that puts a thrill into the heart and soul of the most hard ened motoring epicure. There are plenty of good reasons why it does. but the chief reason is the fact that it's a Cadillac, a name that brings at once many visions of sumptuosness and luxury. The average Cadillac owner has a peculiar air about him, if you have ever noticed. He seems to have as much affection for his ear as he has for the members of his family. He thinks Cadillac, breathes Cadillac, eats Cadillac-everything he does seems to be in some way con- nected with the ownership of his car, and we aoe safe in saying that one reason why he is going to take to winter bathing like duck to water is the fact that he can use his Cadillac to carry him back and forth, to and from the beautiful watering spots.
 If former Cadillacs can build such a place for themselves in the hearts of their owners, what will you say when you Lave seen the new type 61 Cadillac, several cars of which have arrived in Phoenix and are now on display at the Babbitt Brothers showrooms? This 1922 Cadillac will make your heart yearn for possession of it. Look at the picture and note the snappy lines on the new sport phaeton, then go down to the show rooms and see the car itself. You could admire it all day without get ting weary. It's Cadillac in every sense of the word--Cadillac with many improvements which are an outgrowth of Cadillac engineers ex- periences. Starting with the radiator you will notice that it has been built higher, it's shoulders being raised and rounded to conform to more grace full pattern. This has allowed more liberal treatment of the hood, and gives the impression of greater power and more distinguished appearance New style nonglare optical head and side lamps are an exclusive feature that will appeal to you.
 All cars having a. capacity of i've | passengers or less now have the reg ulation or full-length wheelbase which is 132 inches, and the fact that | the car has been brought nearer the ground, operates to give a low. smart effect without sacrificing head room 1 This is partially due to the use ot | smaller diameter tires, 33X5 being tht l size the new model are equipped l with. The roadability of the new | type 61, as a consequence, is wonder
 full Evry occupant of the car, a.
 well as the driver, is impressed witt | the comfort and security even in the toughest going. The highest stand. ard of luxury is represented in the
 new seats, with their increased les

THREE-A BELIEVES MANUFACTURE TAX
 GOOD FOR INDUSTRY
Goes On Record Favoring Repeal of Non-essential
 Wheels of Industry Thus Relieving Unemployment

WASHING- N. Sept 24.-(Spe-
 ciaD-Because 1t will not only elimi-
 nate the irritating nuisance taxes
 which now confront automobile own
 CTS when purchasing accessories for their cars, but believing that it will also have a stimulating effect on in- dustry and help to solve the menacing
 national rroblem of unemployment the American Automobile association comprising about roo state and local automobile clubs and representing the individual car owners of the country. went on record today for a manufacturers tax and to support a tax revision program involving the repeal of the special discriminatory war taxes now in effect.
 Admitting there is selfish interest to be served in seeking the elimina- tion of the nuisance taxes. the A. A A. directors are quite emphatic in de- claring that their organizations de- cision was prompted with little con- sideration for this feature. The main motive in endorsing the manufac- turers' tax is to give to the busi- ness men of the country just what they themselves feel is needed to set in motion the wheels of industry that will give employment to more than 5.000,003 now idle men,
 In going on record in favor of a manufacturers tax, the A. A A be- lieves that this form of taxation
 would not only help to solve the un- employment problem but that il
 would be less costly for the federal government. more easily assessed and
 come completely collected. more un- derstandable to all the people, less irritating, and provide more equit- able distribution of taxation.
 The A. A. A also takes the stand that the day of discriminatory special taxes which were imposed during the war for the purpose of restricting production has passed: and that the | taxes which were leveled particularly at noa-essential enterprises during the war ought to be repealed for the
 reason that today there is no non-
 essential industry.
 The A A. A endorses substantially | the proposals of Senator Smoot. who i is soon to introduce a new tax bill as
 a substitute for the, measure whict has been passed by the house and i:
 now pendingbefore the senate finance
 committee These proposals include enactment of a new general manufac- l turers' tax; retention of present in come taxes on individuals, with re vision of surtaxes; retention of ths present income tax of 10 per cent or corporations; retention of existing taxes on tobacco, narcotics and oleo- margarine; and retention of existing
 inheritance taxes.

 The initial shipment of Dayton Thoroughbreds is being followed by two carloads, according to Mir. Sabra and these should arrive within the next few days. Special Representative Reese of the Dayton factory. left last night for Los Angeles to personally look after shipments being made from the coast.
 The excellent tacilities'of the Coates tire house for rendering service to the tire buying public are unexcelled. Car owners can drive right into the building and avail themselves of the comfortable reading and rest rooms while their tires are being mounted or changed, thus relieving the conges- ton which would otherwise occur at the curb and the annopance attend ing it. Sabra stated last night that plenty of attendants were on hand to see that prompt service was received by every car owner entering. and the minimum of time was required of the car owner

LUMBER TRADE EIS
 PICKING UP SAYS GMC TRUCK HEAD

Reports from headquarters are to the effect that lumber business gen. orally is better; steel and iron mills which have been closed are resuming operations every week: July state ments of 149 railroads show operating incomes of s50.0o0, 900 against defic- it of s5.000,000 in the same month last year: to me. conditions such as these shoy that the fears entertained by many business men are ground. less says w. L. Day. president of the General Motors Truck Company.
 Freight which is transported by the railroads must be hauled to them also it must be delivered at the other end. Lumber calls for deliveries to all parts of cities and the country iron and steel must be conveyed to the manufacturers who depend upon it for their products
 There is much work for motor trucks, which have come to be ac- cepted as the logical means of trans portation because of their capacity for a greater gross in tonnage and g wider range of operation. Our re- search, which extended through g period of months and covered all haulage problems. shows very plain ly that the one-ton truck shows great est efficiency and economy in about S5 per cent of the transportation oi freight and commodities.
 For this reason we have increased the schedule of production of this type of truck to meet conditions. And through this increase we are able tC reduce the selling price $50, making the GMC one-ton truck an unusua investment for the manufacturer. ths merchant, the farmer or the carriage man Greater activity at the factory where only trucks are built, also per mits of a material revision downward in the price of heavier duty GMe models"

be found in the new type. This eight cylinder motor is the only motor of this type that is produced in quantity production and matured by the many years of effort concentrated upon its improvement and design. Many little improvements have been made to this highly efficient motor in the way of easier starting in cold weather, great CT responsiveness in traffic and more power on stiff grades.
 Beauty and refinement have been carried into the design and construc- tion of the steering column includ- ing the wheel and control levers. This has also been extended to the instrument board which is a real gem. The windshield, ventilator and adjustments have also been perfected, the latter being of non-rusting dur aluminium. A leather covered visor IS part of the equipment of the en- closed cars.
 Chassis refinements of the new type 61 are very noteworthy. among them being the new carburetor, which is a Cadillac product after sev- eral years of exclusive experimenta- ton and testing. A special thermo- stat arrangement is a feature of the new carburetor which greatly reduces the warming up period and permits Of efficient driving conditions almost instantly after the engine is started
 In the opinion of all who have seen the new Cadillac it merely proves the policy that has always governed the Cadillac factory-that of improve ment whenever something worth | while has been developed with which to improve. Better road performance increased ease of operation, greater economy of upkeep and in general added progress towards a perfected mechaniSn1-aH are to be found ir | the new type 61 Cadillacs.

The A A. A. idea is that manu- lecturers tax would be imposed at only one point in the process of pro- duction ;that is, when the. manufac- turing process is completed so that the tax could not be pyramided or passed along to the consumer in ex- banded form.
 In a communication sent to its af- filiated clubs today, the A. A. A. says, in part:
 'UnquestionabIy the most serious condition confronting our country to- day is that caused by more than B. 100000 persons out of employment Any action that will tend to relieve this condition by putting this vast army back on the job deserves i'm mediate impetus Unless this prob lem of unemployment is met prompt ly and effectively, we are going to experience dark days unparalleled in our nations history Hungry people may be fed promises, but they cannot subsist on them Promises must be followed by action. action must be followed by employment: employment will be followed by food Then comes prosperity and contentment That is what we want.
 There is a real reason back of this unemployment This reason is defi- nitely known and can be remedied. We can and must do our part to bring relief
 ITO relieve the present situation it is imperative that all the wheels of industry are put in motion without delay. Our foremost industrial and commercial leaders believe this can be accomplished by the proper sort of taxation They favor and have endorsed what is known as 'manu- facturers' tax and contend that the adoption of this tax will at once abol discriminatory taxes which were en- acted primarily for the purpose of restricting certain production during the war and which are now doing more to curtail and to limit business activities than all other causes com bined.
 If a form of taxation that is fav- ored and endorsed by majority of our industrial and commercial leaders is what is needed to bring better times, let's have it. This is not a question of politics. but rather one of principle which needs to be under stood and driven home before the first blows of winter are upon us
 Personal interest and prompt ac- ton by everyone is necessary if we are to get out of our present business depression this year. Fewer resolu- tions and less expert control. with more sound business practice will bring relief. Let's all get busy and help put it. over"
