REPEAL Or
EXCISE TAX
ON TRUCKS
Congressman Clancy, Michi-
gan, Says Levy Is Drag on
Transportation.

Repeal OF excise tax on autOmo-
bile trucks, automobiles and motor
cycles, tires, inner tubes, parts and
accessories was asked in bills intro
duced in the. House yesterday BY
Congressman Clancy. Democrat, OF
Michigan.
The National Automobile Chamber
OF Commerce, grange and farmer
organizations and other organizar
tons are hack Of these bills. i was
stated.
These are excise taxes and may
be regarded as luxury, stigma or
nuisance taxes, Clancy Rid. Ihe
tax on automobile trucks and
wagons is absolutely indefensible.
No one can say an automobile truck
is q pleasure car, not even those
used for bootlegging purposes, Tor
the owner Is running Il Tor profit.
'.The automobiIe truck tax - g
tax on transportation. and a. the
railroad taxes OF q similar nature
were killed after the war, 50 should
the automobile truck tax Be elm
mated.
s'The tax on repair parts. acces.
series and tires is indefens1ble. The
repair parts are nuisance taxes and
penaIize the man who is having
trouble with his car. AS the farmer
has the worst roads and the most
trouble with automobile parts the
tax falls particularly hard on him.
For the fiscal year ending June
80. last, the total taxes collected
bile trucks amounted to SO, 678 81.

WHEN LONELINESS
BECOMES MORBID EGOISM

The Rev. DR.. Robert Johnson, in a
sermon at st. Johns church, Wash
ington, d. c., paid rare and beauti-
full tribute to Bishop Harding of the
Diocese of Washington. The min
lister said: Before hebecame Bish-
of of Washington he was pastor
at-large in this city. No man would
respect parochial boundaries more
than he, but like Wesley, his parish
of spiritual opportunity was unde-
fined. Then he was a man of re-
lision: The lonely in hotels and
boarding houses. the s-associated
from churches. found him a ready
shepherd of souls. AS bishop he
never changed that character. Few
men put on the mitre without
changing their approach to men.
Grimly, a scholar of our church. has
traced this change of front to a
disease called 'episcipltis.' Not fire.
frequently bishops complain. with a
tragic sadness, of the loneliness of
the episcopate. How can q man be
lonely who becomes the spiritual
father of scores of Woodworking,
struggling priests, and who becomes
head of the whole family of God
within the bounds of a diocese? This
complaint of lonliness is simply an
expression of morbid egoism. Alfred
Harding, who became, by the grace
simple, kindly, humble, faithful. God
of Washington, remained tie same
and in the providence of God. Bishop
loving man that he was when he
functioned as a presbyter in the
Church of God"

FIFTEEN HUNDRED LEPERS
IN THIS COUNTRY

A statement has been issued by the
American Mission to Lepers in which
the claim is made that there are
eight THOUSAND lepers under the
Stars and Stripes. This would not
be regarded as surprising when the
foreign possessions of the United
States are considered. But the state
ment says that fifteen hundred OF
these are in the United States proper.
The only hospital for their isolation
is located a t Carville, La. At present
it has facilities for only 120 patients.
but plans for extension are now in
process. The last Congress ap-
propriated s65o,00o for enlargement
purposes. The religious phase of
the work is under the direction of
Rev. and Mrs. Henry Z. Cousins,
who are supported by the missionary
society of the Methodist church.

INTERDENOMINATIONAL
WOODEN LEG

Much has been said about the
growth OF the feelings of good will
among the churches and the people
of all creeds. Religious leaders are
quick to discern every toke en- of the
wiser and more tolerant spirit that
is creeping into all churches. The
Christian Advocate takes occasion
to indulge In a bit of humor in a
case in point: "Dr. Greenfield, after
amputatiing the leg of a Roman
Catholic, wrote an appeal for a
wooden leg to enable the man to
move himself about. This was pub
lished In the Congregationalist, and
read by a Baptist woman. whose
husband, a Methodist, who had
worn a wooden leg, had just died
So the Methodist leg. given by a
gregational appeal Is now being
used as a perfectly good interde-
nominal understanding"
