How Foot Ball Is Played
BY SOL METZGER-

THE Comeback" OF an apparent

an eleven will fail to key itself to

appears to have the game we'll in

T. L. Little of the Burton-Lary Motor
company, 1.-The curtain lights are en-
closed in a rigid metal frame, protect
ing the lights from being scratched or
cracked as the curtains are put on or
taken off the car. The unique metal
frame surrounding the light on all four
sides also makes the entire curtain
much sitter. consequently much easier
to handle, both in removing or in
stalling. The metal frame also assists
in retaining the original perfect snug
fit of the curtains. 1t makes them
practically weather proof over long
period of usage.
"Of special importance to close fit
ting curtains is the question of their
storage. In the touring and special
touring models, a compartment in the
back OF the front seat has been pro-
vided, where the curtains remain flat
in their frames, do not chafe each
other, and are ready for instant use
in the roadster and special road
ster, a special curtain holder is pro-
vided inside the interior compartment.
another valuable feature is that
curtain fasteners are so placed that
they allow all curtains to be put in
position quickly from inside the car.
This is especially important in the
event of sudden storms"

Would Make State Sole

&Ms Agency. ~

~ More simple and scientific practice
IA the taxing of motor vehicles was
urged by Harry Meixell. secretary of
of the motor vehicle conference COM
mittee, in speaking at the convention
of the Motor and Accessory Manu-
facturers Association in Boston.
The committee, which Mr.. Meixell
represents, includes delegates from
motor user, dealer and manufacturer
examinations. This body has been
working to determine set of prin-
ciples which would clarity the com
plex problems of highway taxation.
The speaker advocated that the cost
of highways should be Borne by two
groups, first, by society as a whole,
which benefits from the general eco
nomic value of improved highways
and, second, by the motor vehicle
owners and users who benefit partic-
ularly. He advocated. as representing
the committee, that society as a whole
should pay general taxes for the cap
ital cost of improved highways and
that the motor vehicle be called upon
to pay special taxes to maintain
them.
Proceeding on this theory, the motor
vehicle conference committee has
NOIkeu out SET OI pTlHclpleS LUZ luc
special taxation of the motor vehicle.
which include the following points:
The state should be the sole special
taxation agency.
There should be but one form OF
special taxation of the motor vehicle.
The amount of special taxes on mo-
tor vehicles should be limited to the
sum required for administration of
the state motor vehicle department
and the maintenance of improved
highways in the state.
No special motor vehicle tax funds
should be spent for maintenance of
highways unless these are located
where the highway needs of the state
require it and are built Of materials,
and in a manner to meet these needs.
These taxes should be raised in
manner which most equitably distrib-
utes the burden in various classes of
vehicles and the units within each
class.

EMPHASIZED
Chaplin Urges Fund Be Set
Aside for This Specific
Purpose.
POLICY MADE PUBLIC
N. A. c. c. Head Says
Good Highways Create
Economic Value.

Announcing for the first time the
highway policy agreed upon by the
committees Of four national bodies,
Roy d. Chaplin gave six principals
of finance which are likely to have
marked influence in future road build
ing, in his address before the Motor
and Accessory Manufacturers Associa-
ton at Boston.
For some months the United States
bureau of public roads. the Invest
ment Bankers Association. the Amer
lean Association of State Highway Of
ficials and the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce have been
Z working to develop a program of fl
nancial principles so that the billion
dollar annual expenditure for public
roads will be wisely spent and the IT,
vestment protected.
Mr.. Chaplin is chairman Of the high
ways committee of the National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce.
Economic Value Great.
Among the chief points of his mes.
cage was the assertion that highways
properly located and built create an
economic value, which more than pays
for their cost, and the location and
surfacing of any highway must be
governed by this principle.
Another major point was that all
money spent for roads should have e
part set aside for maintenance, that
is. keeping the highway in repair SO
that it will not deteriorate. This II
essential for protection of the invest
ment.
The policy advocated recognizes thai
conditions differ in various states. In
. cases where few highways have been
built, bond issues will be needed, but
il the main highways have been well
developed, the construction can be paid
for out of current funds.
1t is proposed that special taxss
from motor vehicles be based upon
the benefits which they derive from
the roads. and should be applied ex-
uusively for maintenance purposes.
Program Is Announced.
, The program endorsed by the COM
! mittees of four bodies is as follows
II. States in the initial state of
highway development should ISSUE
bonds to defer that portion of the
annual charge for construction which
would overburden either property or
the road user.
'.2. States where original construc-
ton programs are well under way can,
in the main, finance normal new con.
struction from current funds, utilizing
bond issue funds to defer the cost of
special projects.
20. States where original construc-
ton is largely completed are concerned
chiefly with maintenance and recon.
struction, and should depend on cur
rent funds in cases Of emergency.
II. The maintenance of interstate
and state highways should be charge
against the road user u
IS. Roads serving purely local
purpose will generally require only
light up-keep and should properly be
a charge against the adjacent property
which in these cases is the first and
often the only beneficiary.
"6. No road should ever be i'm
proved to an extent in excess Of its
earning capacity. The return to public
in the form of economic traffic is the
sole measure Of such improvement"

A Good Idea.

To the Automobile Editor:
The accident at the Speedway last
Sunday, resulting in injuries to two
young men, it seems to me, should en-
phasize the Importance OF inspection OF
all racing cars before they are allow
ed to compete in racing events. Often
times, as the case smiyht have been
last Sunday, the occupants OF racing
cars enter races believing their ma
chimes to be in perfect condition when
the truth of the matter is, some con-
nection or bolt is loose, making an ac-
cident not at all improbable. Many
lives might be saved, not to mentlon
painful injuries, if some thoroughly
experienced mechanic would 60 over
each racing car just before the races
and make sure there is nothing wrong.
What do you think of the idea!
