Movement Started
to Reduce Taxes on
Autos and Trucks

How about the taxes that you pay
on your automobile and equipment!
10 you know that Uncle Sam has re-
moved the taxes from many things
rated as Injuries. and that the automo-
bile industry and you still bear a bur
den of taxation that comes very close
to being at the limit right now, and that
congress is seriously thinking of add
ing more to that taxi
In 1921 the congress removed taxes
from many things that we have rated
as Injuries. including musical lnstru-
ments, chewing gum. sporting goods,
thermos bottles. perfumes, and q nun
bred and one other things Of that kind
but the taxes on motor cars, trucks,
tires. and all replacement parts re-
manned. 80.
President Harding declared in his
inaugural address that the automobile
was an essential factor in the develop
ment of the country, and that it is a
necessity.
There are over ten million automo-
biles now in use in this country and
every one of them is used for business
PURPOSES at some time Of the day or
night.
Automobiles have developed the
economic life of the country and are
doing q great work in allowing people
to live more comfortably in city and
country.
Nearly a third Of the cars used in this
country are owned by farmers. 1t seems
lust as logical to tax the farmers auto
mobile as to tax the farmers products.
State and national trade %organiza-
tions are doing their best to try aud
have taxes on automobiles and automo-
tive products reduced, or eliminated.
There does not seem TO be any rea-
son for taxing the essential motor car
and truck. and allowing chewing gum
and musical Instruments to 60 tax free.

Financial Mystery

Where" asks our own Abe
Martin, .wuz all tn money when
we didn't have autos?' It is an in
genious question, n that sug-
gests but does not solve the great
est financial riddle of the day.

Gil has no trouble whatever in fig
uring that the present motor ear
situation is impossible. He can
prove that the nation can't afford
to own the ten or twelve million
ears now in operation. lie oan
show that the farm income is not
sufficient even to buy gasoline for
the millions of autos the farmers
own. Yet both country and city
continue cheerfully to defy the
man with the long lead pencil. Aft
er he absolutely demonstrates that
the point of saturation has been
reached. they go out and buy a
million and a half new cars in a
single season. When he shows
that the wheat crop will not fur
nlsh enough money to provide
tires, the farmers just laugh, and
swap in the fliyvers for regular
automobiles. Where does all the
money come from? You tell US, if
you can. 1t would seem, indeed,
that we may have to revise .ou
views about money. We may have
to acknowledge that mankind's
purchasing power is not limited
by the quantity of money, but
that the limiting factor is the
quantity of desired commodities
that can be manufactured and that
money may always be found in
sufficient quantities to buy the
things man is able to produce for
his own comfort and entertain

PROPER sTEERlNG GRIP

When driving at a high rate Of
speed grasp the steering wheel in such
a way that the fingers of at least one
hand straddle a spoke. This is the
safest position in case Of a front
wheel blowout or an unforeseen hole
in the road, since the wheel is much
less likely to slip out Of the drivers

FORD RETAIL SALES
GO OVER MILLION.
Show Increase of 1O5, 900 Cars and
Trucks Over Previous Year.

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks and
Fordson tractors have again exceeded
the million mark for the year 1921, ac-
cording to a statement given out this
week by the Ford Motor Company.
The Ford factory and assembly
plant production figures reached a
total of 1,050,74O cars, trucks and
tractors for the year with retail sales
by dealers approXimating 1903, 900,
which in the United States alone sur
passed the 1920 retail sales record by
104,213 Ford ears and trucks.
The Ford Company says the outlook
for 1922 is decidedly optimistic. In
fact, concrete evidence already exists
in that car and truck retail sales for
December, 1921, exceeded December,
1920, sales by almost 25 per cent, and
Fordson tractor retail sales for the
same periods show an increase of over
100 per cent. for December, 1921, as
well as an increase W. the total trac-
tor sales for the month of November.
These facts seem to indicate that
not only are the farmers buying more
freely, but that the general public is
becoming more responsive and recep-
tive.
Announcer point Drought out Dy a COM
parison of production figures for the
past two years shows that Ford en-
closed cars are gaining in popularity,
as 20 per cent. of the 1921 production
were sedans and coupes as against a
total of Is per cent. for the year prev
ious.
Recent reductions in Ford car and
truck prices brought them 10 a new
low level. The touring car now sells
for $34S, the runabout for 1919, the
coupe for $3.50, the sedan for $645, the
chassis for $685., and the truck for
$430, all +. o. b. Detroit.
This is the fourth price cut in the
past sixteen months. During that time
the price of the touring car alone has
been cut from $575 to $34S, a reduc-
ton of 40 per cent. Reductions on
some of the other types have been
even greater.
The Ford Company believes that
this reduction, while not a large one,
is especially important at this time, as
ii should go a long way toward sta
bilizing market conditions.
Ford is giving employment at pres
ent to approximately 10000 men in his
main plant at Detroit, the Importance
of which is emphasized when consid-
Grafton is given to the fact that near
ly 20 per cent. of the city's population
is. directly dependent upon the Ford
Motor ComDany.

THE IRON NERVE OF SAM
HOUSTON, THE VIRGINIAN

Courage and daring were qualities
characteristic of all the scouts who
won their right TO fame in frontier his
tory, but for iron nerve and pure grit
Sam Houston was the peer of them all.
Perhaps he inherited his fortitude
from his father, who was a soldier
in the Revolution perhaps during his
long stay among the Cherokee .Indi-
ans he learned that a warrior bears
pain without ilinching.
Houston was a Virginian who had
entered the army and risen to the rank
of ensign at the outbreak of the Creek
aar in 1913. Gen. Andrew Jackson,
against the Creeks and, after a series
of battles in which the Indians were
defeated, they made a last stand at
their fortified encampment, Tohopeka,
in the Great Horseshoe bend of the
Tallapoosa river, Ala.
During the assault on this fort, a
harbed arrow struck Houston in the
thigh. He tried to pull it out, but
failed. The agony was frightful.
Calling to a soldier, Houston com
lnanded him to extract the shaft.
Twice the mar tried and failed, then
begged to be relieved of the task when
he saw the unspeakable torture he
was causing.
Try again." commanded Houston.
And if you fail, I'll run you through
With my sword !"
The third attempt was successful,
and as the barbed shaft was torn
from the flesh, it was followed by a
glsh of blood. General Jackson, see
ing Houston's wound, ordered him to
Tie rear. The young ensign waited
until Jackson had passed on, had a
surgeon bind up the wound, and in a
few minutes he was back in the thick
Of the fighting.
The high peak in Houston's adven-
lurous life came in 1886 when, at the
head OF a little army of 800 Texans,
with the battle cry of Remember the
.Alamoi' on their lips, he defeated the
hordes of Santa Anna, the Mexican
dictator, at San Jacinto, and won free
dem for Texas. He was elected first
president of the Lone Star republic.
At the outbreak of the Civil war,
Houston, who vas governor of Texas,
vas bitterly opposed to the secession
of that state from the Union. The
Confederates forced him TO resign.
They required all men over sixteen to
register and to carry a pass while
travelling. Houston refused TO do
either. Once they stopped him and
demanded his pass. San Jaeinto is
my pass through TeXasi' Numbered
the brave old man as he rode on.
Houston died at his home in Hunts
vile July 26, 1863, with the name of
Texas on his lips.
