RAILROAD STRIKE RECALLS FAMOUS RECORD OF ESSEX
POSSIBILITIES Of AUTO MAIL UNLIMITED, CLAIM

Two years ago this month tw
Essex stock czrs carrying United
states mail started out at midnight.
one from New York and the other
from San Francisco. into the night
on their way across the continent
They passed each other near Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Iowa, and four days, Il
hours and ~ minutes after II left
san Francisco the eastbound de
posted its mail in the New York
p~ostoffice.
This was a new trsnscontineztal
record made. And this record stiil
stands.
Four Essex cars in all made this
continental trip In August. 1920. in
an average OF -four days. 81 hours
and 80 minutes, a mark which like
wise has eve been eQuailed by any
other a r
Attention was turned to these
trancontinental performers the 9TH
er day by Essex Motors. when tho
question was raised as to whether
or not automobiles could be pressed
into use as fas transportation We
hicies in case the nationwide rail
road strike should ever become a
complete tie-up OF railroad transpor-
tation.
The run these Essex cars made
carrying mail brings out forclbly the
possibilities Of passenger automo-
blles Is fast transportation vehicles.
Because OF the performances OF these
cars and the lessons learned by the
automobile industry during this trip.
several improvements in motor car
design have been possible. The per
formances were a striking iflustra-
ton OF the durability OF today's auto
mobiles. especially so in view Of the
announcement that all four OF these
Essex cars are still in daily service.
They have been run an aggregate of
more than 200 .ooo miles.
Automobile merchants agree that
any a withstands n more severe
test in undergoing such a eat than
the ordinary car receives during an
entire life OF hard usage.
Transcontinental No. 1 was the
car which made the fastest time. No.
2. running west. was second in four
days. 10 hours and II minutes. No.
3. running east. made the 3.347 miles
in four days, 81 hours and IS min
utes and the fourth. starting from
New York. reeled off her trip in
five days. six hours and IS minutes.
The last two cars each started after
tho first two had finished and their
slower time was due to heavy rains
they encountered. particularly in the
Rocky Mountain regions. The aver

BONUS TAX
REFERRED
To SUB COMMITTEE
TRepubIIean A. p. leased Wlrel


WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.--Unable
to reach an agreement on the soldiers
bonus tax program. framed by a
house ways and means sub-commit-
tee, member. of that body and Of
the senate finance committee referred
the matter today to a subcommittee
OF four. Chairman McCumber OF the
senate conferees said ii probably
would be two or three days before
there was a final decision. 1t is un-
derstood that the principal item In
controversy were the proposed In
creased tax on capital stock transfers
and he suggested levy of 2fs per cent
on the undistributed profits of cor
porations.
Opposition to the soldiers bonus
tax schedule as drawn by the Re-
publican subcommittee Of the house
ways and means committee was .voic-
ed today by p G. Atkeson, Washing
ton representative of the National
Grange, ami II. o. Mckenzie, tax
representative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
Mr.. Atkeson, in a letter sent to
Chairman Fordney. declared that the
bonus program violates every prin-
ciple of taxation endorsed by the
recent agricultural conference"
'If more money must be raised to
pay a soldiers bonus his letter said,
'it should be raised without burden
ing the public with further annoying,
business preventing and Objectionable
tax schemes and it should be raised
by re-enactInent and re-extension or
the excess profits tax"
Mr.. Mckenzie. also urged re-enact-
mient of the profits tax, stating that
"this single source of revenue would
produce all the money necessary for
the bonus and obviate the frictions
which would be developed by raising
the parcel post rates, taxing gaso-
line and automobiles and the in-
creased annoyance caused by the
stamp tax"

LOCAL MAN DEFENDS TAYLOR
William Desmond Taylor was a
real pal--a mans man and true as
steel" This is the way Harry Siebert
Smith, general manager Of the 50,
nora Grand Opera company and
friend Of Taylor, who Is In Phoenix
Tor few days, characterized the mo-
ton picture director whose murder
is battling the Los Angeles authori-
ties,
III Taylor had a romance he cher
iShed It." declared Mr.. Smith who said
that 'if one or many women were in
Taylor's life he kept the intimate de-
tails TO himself
"He never discussed women with
his fellows. He never rhapsodised
over them. He was not the type OF
man TO haunt the cabarets caring
nothing for the wild night life one
hears Of IN connection with theatrical !
folk" said Mr.. Smith in discussing
his friend In his apartment at the
Commercial yesterday.
In the opinion of Mr.. Smith the in
nuendos connecting the name OF
Taylor with prominent picture stars
are nothing short OF sacrilege.
"No one who knew his character
would believe the innuendos being
published and which win eventually
be proven untrue. He had many low
able traits and the different women
who worked with him could not help
loving him, but it was the love of one
pal for another--the love one feels
for a person for whom they have in
tense admiration" said Mr.. Smith.
"I1e was not handsome man. was
rather hornely in fact. but he had the
most engaging smile--the kind smile
az Abraham Lincoln and James
Whitcomb Riley"
"The smile was frequently in evil
dence when Taylor was filming
'Fiuckleberry Finn working with the
children" according to Mr.. Smith,
who was with him on location. !,
