GASOLINE TAX BATTLE
 LOOMS OVER REVENUE
Michigan Good Roads Asso- citation and Detroit Auto Club Differ on Raising Money

DETROIT, Nov 1.-The next step of the gasoline tax proponents is to be taken at the annual meeting of the Michigan State Good Roads Associa- tion in November, according to word from Lansing. At that time the as- sociation will be asked to- pass res- olution asking the State Legislature to pass a gasoline tax law.
 The Detroit Auto Club is opposed to the gasoline law as tax measure and efforts are being made to block the move. Col. Sidney D. Waldon, president of the Detroit Automobile Club, will lead the fight against the measure which will be taken up on the floor of the Legislature when that body meets early in the new year.
 The tax measure originated when it was found that the State was run ming short of money for building of good roads. The motorists do not ap- preciate good roads, but insist that additional money for this work should not be raised through a gasoline tax which only motorists would pay, but should be raised by some means in which farmers and others who derive some of advantages of improved roads would defray a portion.

SEDAN GIVEN TO
 FASTEST FLYER
Lieut.. Maughan, Winner of Pulitzer Trophy, Takes Dodge Brothers c lar
 Back to Frisco.
Detroit Manufacturers Off, fer Car as Evidence of h. terest in Promotion of
 Aviation.

Selfridge Field, Mt. Clemens, Mich :, Oct. 25.-Just before departing for his home in San Francisco, Lieut.. R. L. Maughan, wo won the Pulitzer trophy when he broke the worlds speed record in the aviation races here last Sunday, was presented with another and wholly unexpected trophy. It was a new Dodge Brothers Sedan, given by Dodge Brothers, Detroit manufacturers, as evidence of their in- terest in the promotion of aviation.
 The ceremonies were witnessed by Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com merce, Brig. Gen. William. Mitchell, assistant chief of U. S. Air Service and other notables. Immediately af- ter the presentation, General Mitchell mounted the plane in which Lieut.. Maughan had lowered the worlds record and proceeded to establish oth- CT records for straight flights.
 The gift of the sedan is particular ly significant in view of the fact that it is the first car ever presented to an individual by Dodge Brothers.
 Secretary Hoover commented on it as "splendid example of the patriot ism that the country needs if it is to maintain its superiority in the air"
 General Mitchell was equally en- thusiastic.
 /. MT. Bloomer, in his presentation ad- dress, said;
 "It is our belief that an adequate air force, equipped and maintained to the highest point of efficiency, is absolutely necessary to the safety of this country. Because of this we re- joice in presenting a specimen of own product to the winner of these contests, feeling that by 50 doing we are evidencing our respect and admir- ation for all those who have con- tributed in any way to your remark able achievement"
 Lieutenant Maughan departed inn mediately for his home in San Fran cisco, where the Dodge Brothers deal CT, J. E. French. formerly of Detroit, is arranging for huge reception when he arrives.

OF
 MANY STATES TO
 CONSIDER LAWS

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 28.- (Special)-"Matters of import to the motorists of the United States will be to the forefront when the legislatures of 4S states meet early in 1923. Of this number, Al states meet in Janu- ary; one, Florida, in April; and one, Georgia in June. The five states in which legislatures do not meet in 1923 are Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary land Mississippi and Virginia" says statement of the National Motorists association.
 Officers of highway commissions in the 43 states in question are now busy preparing drafts of new, or amendments to old legislation for sub mission to legislative bodies when they convene These drafts doubtless will contain suggestions with refer ence to the bringing of state laws of line with the federal aid law, the question of theft prevention, motor car registration, legislation control ing headlights, automatic signals, etc. and having to do with taxes and fees in the operation of motor vehicles.
 Still other subjeits to be given con- sideration will have to do with the question of declaring motor vehicles to be common carriers uniform traf- fife laws, elimination of grade cross ings, highways enforcement legisla- tion, snow removal, in addition to dozens of other pertinent and impor- tant related matters.
 The National Motorists association through it's national headquarters in Washing ton, and it's affiliated clubs in the different cities, will keep in touch with the progress of legislation affecting directly or indirectly the in- lterests of motorists, or highway de- velopment problems, and will give support to those measures deemed for the best interests of motorists.
 It is important that states which have not already done SO comply with requirements of the federal aid road act within the next few years, if they too, are to put themselves in a posi- tion to benefit from its provisions, ac- cording to the bureau of public roads, in charge of the execution of this act.
 Of the states in which legislative sessions are to be held next year, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and South Carolina meet annually. The other meet biennially in odd-numbered years, except Alabama, which meets quadrenially. That vast amount of road legislation is badly needed, and that highway development problems 7 will be sadly retarded througout the United States if legislative bodies

EXPERT FEELS OF
 QUALITIES GOOD
 GAS SHOULD HAVE
Research Shows eavy Product Gives Bes Mileage.

NEW YORK, Nov, 1.-(Special)- R. L. Welch, secretary of the Ameri- can Petroleum institute, issued an an nouncement this week of exceptional interest to the motorists of the coun- try.
 He declares that motor fuels con- siderably less volatile than those now in use can be used at least in summer weather, and probably in winter, with out serious inconvenience and produce substantially the same number of miles per gallon. This is indicated by the results so far attained by joint research now being carried on by the government and the oil and automo- bile industries, for the purpose of giv- ing an authoritative answer to the question: What is the best motor fuel for the average automobile?
 "This result is of fundamental i'm portance, not because it indicates that te oil industry should at once produce or that the public should turn to heav- fer fuels than those now in use but because it seems to indicate that auto- mobile and oil engineers have not struck, as was quite commonly sup posed, a blank wall so far as vola- tility is concerned.
 "This assumption was founded upon the thought that the making of moto, fuel any heavier than it>now is would merely result in cutting down the number of miles per gallon through

PREST-O-[|TE AGAIN
 L0WERSBATTERYP PRICE

For the second time within year, substantial reductions in Storage Bat tery. prices have been made by The Prest-O-Lite Co.,, Inc, manufacturers of the well-known PREST-O-LITE Starting and Lighting Battery.
 When the first radical cut was an nounced last December" states MT. Mark Pierson, local Prest-O-Lite dis tributor, i've honestly believed that the limit in battery values had been reached. But on top of this comes this last substantial reduction just an nounced.
 "The Prest-O-Lite Go. was the first

big manufacturer of a quality bat tery to bring the price of a first-class battery within the reach of everybody, and this last reduction has made the cost of battery comparatively lower than anything else connected with an automobile. I can't see how a high grade battery can ever be sold any cheaper"
 "Our large increase in sales this Spring and Sumer shows that the public appreciates the policy of a manufacturer who believes ip giving the greatest possible value for every dollar paid by the customer. This Prest-O-Lite policy has also been our policy on Service Batteries, Charging and Repairs ,and. we owe our success to this policy which says OUR GUS TONER'S IN TEREST COME FIRST.'"
