A New Lexington

The Lexington Motor Company, of
Connersvillc, Ind, is out with the an
nouncement of new fve-passcngcr
touring model at S1,745 The price on
this new Series 20" is $240 less than
the lowest previous price on a Lexing-
ton motor car equipped with the An
sted engine, including the Moore null
tple exhaust system, which saves fuel
and adds power and is an exclusive
Lexington feature, patented by John c.
Moore, chief engineer.
The Ansted engine has been refined
and improved in many respects. A new
type of two~ring piston is used that
neither slaps nor pumps oil, and which
shows no signs of wear after thousands
of miles of use. Perfect vaporization
Of fuel is assured by the use of the
LeXi -gasifier, enabling the Lexington to
function properly regardless Of weather
conditions: A high grade thcrmostat
controls the water temperature at all
times, both in summer heat and in
winter cold

New Kind Of Car
Insurance Policy

By /. III. Coldberg

policy with no insured sum named
may eventually be issued covering
automobile protection. 1t is possible
that this topic will be taken up for
discussion ut the National Automo-
bilo Underwriters Conference. Such
policy, making the three fourths value
clause mandatory instead of optional,
and probably eliminating full covcrage
collision protection, and making in
spcctions of automobiles before policies
arc issued, may soon be n new feature
probable that such contracts will soon
be issued, it may be looked forward
to before the year ends.
Full coVeragc collision insurance is
gradually losing color. The enormous
cost for this protection has discouraged
many automobile owners from buying
it, and the automobilst is content to
take the $50 deductible form, which
briefly protects the insured car under
all collision claims, excepting that $50
IS deducted from each and every claim
paid, and for such limited protection
a reduced rate is made 1t is logical to
assume that if the full covcrage col
lision is eliminated from further poll
cics it will not cause much disappoint-
mcnt.
The fact that certain amount Of in
surance is granted for fro and theft
protection does not necessarily imply
that any such sum would be paid in tho
event Of fire or theft of the car.
The contract particularly provides for
an adjustment on the basis of the
actual cash value, under the non-valued
form, which is no doubt the only form
now issued by the leading companies.
It is absurd, therefore, to have the
automobile overnsured, requiring the
payment of premiums for protection
that is really never had.
The issuing of a policy without prin-
cipal sum would greatly relieve a COM
plicated condition. 1t would then leave
open the important feature in deter
mining between company and insured
what the actual market value of the
car was at the time Of its loss or dam
age
The Eastern automobile underwrit-
ers' conference, in its new ruling, es-
tablishes a minimum premium of $3.50
for the issuing Of automobile policies
of small amounts. This premium is
subject to discount for certain forms Of
coverage and safety appliances. 1t is
said that the handling Of policies of
small principal sum bears the same
ratio of expense as that of the larger
contracts, as the same time and ex-
pense is consumed in writing them.
This new ruling became effective re-

Taxation a Real
Menace to Auto
Transport Abroad
Situation Serious in Japan,
and in France Democrat
ization Is Traceable Di-
rectly to High Levies

High and discriminatory taxes on
motor vehicles are proving to be In
furious to motor transportation Of GER
tain foreign countries, according to re-
ports received by the National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Commerce.
In Japan this is strikingly illus
trated. The authorities Of Toxic, ap
parently seeking revenue, raised the
motor tax by SO to 80 per cent. The
operating costs became excessive and
many cars were retired from service.
At the time there were 5000 cars in
circulation. Upon PRONUNCIATION Of the
law COO licenses were returned and a
like number of cars placed in storage,
congestion in cities-was made more
difficult of solution because Of the de-
crease In modern transportation.
The central japanese government,
realizing this error, recently sent an
offcia to the United States to study
our traffic arrangements. His conclu-
sion was that Japan can solve its prob
lem of congestcd cities best by en-
couraging motor vehicle transporter
ton. The removal of discriminatory
high taxes is the first step, and action
in that direction may soon be
officially recommended to the pre-
lectures throughout Japan.
In France the decentralization of the
automobile industry is directly trace
able to high taxes. Although French
manufacturers have an unusual ad
vantage in their home market because
Of an import duty of As per cent, they
still are unable to keep their factories
reasonably busy. The numerous and
high taxes make operation of any type
of motor vehicle exceedingly expensive,
and many persons whose occupation
might make use Of an automobile pre-
requisite have to forego its time-saV-
ing advantages and perform their work
in a less efficient manner.
The automobile situation in England
is similar to that of France. Motor
vehicles, despite their utility value,
which was especially emphasized dur
ing strikes, are taxed. The inequity
Of this assessment is being demon
strated by experiences of automobile
owners, who are urging n modification
or repeal.
A contrast from that Of these three
countries is afforded in the taxation
policy of Canada, where the taxes de-
rived by the provinces are devoted to
the maintenance of roads and where
the central government imposes no
discriminatory taxes. Canada's motor
vehicle registration, 100000, is nearly
as large as EnCland's

THE BUSINESS WORLD is
AWAKENING.

And now we find the retail clothiers
awakening TO the fact that country
America is the real America and must
be recognized. What changes have
taken place in the business world
mentality when the National Clothiers
Association gravely expresses itself as
follows to the Interstate Commerce
Commission:
I'VE believe that this is not the
time for a horizontal reduction in all
freight rates. We believe instead that
all reductions possible at this time
should be centered on farm products,
farm machinery, steel and iron, coal
and such basic commodities. We be-
lieve with substantial reductions in
basic commodity rates return to nor
NAL conditions will be fastened"
This is a fiat recognition of the fact
that all industries are dependent on
agriculture. Tariff tinkerers, indus
trial political economists, scientific
theorists whose fallacies have swayed
the world so long, coupled with the
selfish butchers, bakers and candle
stick makers of American industry
have now come to see that they have
beer mistaken in the animal they have
been %prodding SO long, and that it is
their own OK that has been gored.

had aroused the anger of several of the

the Frenchman and appealed for pro-
lection to Il young trNpper named Kit
Carson.
Learning of this Shunar, in an effort
To bring about Il quarrel with Carson,

At last Carson faced the Frenchman.

determined to die, am your man."
he said. The Frenchman hesitated
ut this defiance.
Leaping to his horse, his pistol in
hand, Carson demanded of Shunar:
Am | the man you are looking for?'
No" replied Shunar, but he raised
his arm to shoot.
The two men fired at the same time.
The Frenehman's bullet grazed Car
