Edgecomb Finds FAVOR in
Some Quarters, OPPOSE

Estimates furnished by Secretary
Jack Edgecombe Of the San Antonio
Automobile League IN regard to the
two-cent gasoline tax which Is incor-
porated in the proposed highway act,
show that San Antonio's contribution
under this tax would be $4,000 month
". There will be raised in Texas in
the neighborhood of 100000 each
year from this source. he estimates.
public opinion is divided in regard
to this tax" says Mr.. Edgecombe. "A
canvass of the automobile owners by
the league shows that many favor the
tax as being the only fair way TO ar
rive at a just tax on motor vehicles
for road building purposes, making the
vehicle that travels most pay on a
highways. Some are opposed to the
tax on the grounds that the price OF
gasoline will be affected.

make the statement that this tax i'm
posed upon the producer will put the

market with other states and make the

There Is also q provision In the
proposed highway act which provide,
for the collection Of a larger license
fee from automobile owners by raising
the price per horsepower from 80 cents
to so cents.
ain both instances the money RAISED
will be placed at the disposal Of thu

There Is also a provision in thu

In regard 10 the proposed elimina

JAPAN POTENTIAL
MOTOR CAR MARKET
DECLARES SPEAKER
China Also Able to Buy
Many Cars, Iruine Tells
Convention.

Japan Is. the leading motor market
in the Far East, in the opinion of w
l.. Irvine, U. S. automotive trade com.
missioner. Mr.. Irvine was one of the
principal speakers before the export
managers convention of the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce at
the offices of tie organization in New
York recently.
Japan leads not only in consump-
ton of motor vehicles, but in potentiali-
ties" said Mr.. Irvine.
He indicated that China also Is a
promising field, as its walls can be used
for highways. Some of the wall mate
rial, he said, is now being used for road
building.
Mr.. Irvine told the convention that
good roads are to be found in the Strait
settlements and Malay Peninsula. The
success of the automobile business there,
he declared, depends upon the condition
of the tin and rubber markets which are
the main businesses of that region.
w. s. Culbertson, vice chairman of
the U. S. Tariff Commission, addressed
the meeting on the current tariff situa-
ton. Edward Drizer, president of the
Vacuum Oil Company, spoke on the
motor fuel problem abroad. Representa-
tives of ignition and battery companies
discussed rendering service abroad along
these lines.

Says ttOther Fellow" Is More
Often TO Blame for Accidents

crash into some other car, no matter
how carefully it is being driven.
"Then pedestrians are sometimes the
cause of bad accidents. Some people
have habit of crossing streets with
out looking TO right or left and with
seemingly no regard for approaching
automobiles. 1t is a wonder to me
that more people are not killed in this
way. To avoid running down a pedes-
trian, the motorist often will turn
sharply into the e:rb, running the risk
of crashing into some parked car filled
with occupants"

Machine company to Gene Roth and

in business at 103 West Travis street.
