Smoot Backs AutOists
In Plea To Lower
Federal Taxes

Senator Reed Smoot of Utah
and the National Motorists AS
ISOLATION are Of the same mind
with regard to the National Mo-
florists Association campaign
which has Just been instituted to
bring about an equitable reduc-

This can be accomplished by
legislation at the hands of Con-
gress or articles which are now
listed as accessories can be ex-
empted by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue without Con-
gressional action.
Senator Smoot of Utah, an
authority on taxation, follow
ing similar action by the N. M.
A., has issued a statement TO
the effect he will aid move
ment in the new Congress to do
away with accessory taxes.

GAS
SIants from the AutomOtIve Field

There are $3.50 railroad passen
ger coaches in use, having a seat
ing capacity Of 100000. The $500,
900 automobiles now in operation
have seats for approximately 10000
900.
If there was a necessity, the mo.
tor vehicles registered today could
carry every man, woman and child
in the country at the same time, &C.
cording TO Firestone statisticions.
In 1910 there were but 451, 900
motor vehicles registered in the
United States. On July |, 1872,
there were 1o,6os,127.
According to insurance company
statistics, $9,500,o00 was paid out
for burned cars in 1929. The great
part of this loss was the result of
carelessness.
The United States has spent be-
tween $4,000, 200, 900 and $20.000,.
900, 900 for automobiles and trucks
in the last fifteen years. More than
$4,000 600, 900 has been expended for
improved roads, say Firestone eX-
perts.
In cold weather watch the radia-
ton system. Use a good cleaning
mixture to remove scale and mud.
Also an anti.freeze spirit should be
! used in the radiator.
If you have been in the habit of
using the same oil in summer as in
winter, better change the habit as
well as the oil.
It is estimated that the railroads
carried 1,642, 251 900 tons of freight
i'm 1921, while motor trucks hauled

The thirteenth American Good
Roads congress was held in Chicago
this year. Eight-five thousand in
highway commissioners. mayors and
others. Uniform State highway
traffic regulation was a principal
topic of information.
In September. 1922, 1875 persons
In every 100000 of population were
killed as q result OF automobile ac-
cidents.
Only one make of American car
has twelve cylinders. Fourteen are
made with eight. ninety.four with
six and thirty-seven with four.
The first automobile accident on
record occurred in 1895 when a Mr.
Jonathan West collided with a laun-
dry wagon.
A bent front axle, no matter how
slight, not only causes poor steer,
Ing but will soon prematurely wear
the tread of both front tires.
Traffic violators in Sioux City,
Ia, are required to spend at least
two hours in a school maintained by
the police for teaching the citys
traffic rules.
A car should never be washed in
sunlight. The direct rays of the sun
striking on water causes heating
which, of course. affects the paint,
6 ,amel, or varnish.
Speeding and overlooking are two
of the chief contributing causes for
tire trouble. Strik ng a stone, or
even a rut, at fifty mile clip will
damage the bes+ of tires and the
strain may not show up for weeks

SEES SOLUTION
FOR PARKING
PROBLEM
Oakland Motor Sales Chief
Proposes Lower Floor
Garages in Buildings.

Why not a garage on the lower
floors or Easements OF office build
ings and apartment houses?
G. ]. Nephlor, general sales man
ager of the Oakland Motor Car
Company believes that this IL one
Of the many things that could be
done to help remedy the motor car
parking question, particularly in
large cities.
He points. TO the fact that in
Akron, Ohio, II large building 10 be.
ing constructed for doctors and
dentists with the lower floors de-
signed as garage space for the
tenants. This is one of the first
steps taken in this direction.
Both the downtown parking
question and the question of garage
room for occupants of apartment
houses, which have grown ire
nlendously Of late years in the
larger cities, calls for some solution
In the near future he reasons.
There is tendency today to
office buildings to save time and
give healthfui exercise to the
tenants The parking Of autoino-
biles for these tenants lie just as
serious. In the smaller cities and
towns vacant spaces in the down.
town sections are given over to the
parking of motor cars. In the
larger cities the streets for parking
are limited and often a motor car
owner has to park a mile or more
from his place OF business.
Now practically all suburban
homes have their own garages.
Why not apartment houses. Base
ments and the rear ground floors
will gcrve the purpose instead OF
separate buildings covering valu-
able property. This, however. does
not mean a selling establishment
witlr garage facilities for service.
THE idea back OF the new Akron
building for doctors and dentists
seems TO me fundamentally sound
AS one or the r4ears OF not en-
tirely solving but helping to solve
the motor car parking and garage
problems

torist ordinarily drives into the
garage for miscellaneous service,
and while his other wants are be.
ing supplied his tires can be in
flated by hand pumps, of which
there are excellent types on the
market
One of the biggest and most
progressive garage proprietors in
Liverpool, quoted by Vice.Consul
Robert r. Patterson, says that only
one out of 500 garages or service
stations in that consular district
uses compressed air. and that there
is no tendency to increase. He be.
lieves that dealers could be induced
TO purchase air compressors by
salesman who knew his job and
could show the dealer the real value
of such equipment in increased
sales of garage wares. etc.
OF the dealers in these places,
he thinks, probably one in twenty
five can be persuaded to buy equip
ment. and the original sales be fol.
lowed by orders from other garages
as the merits of the service make
themselves evident.

1910 Model 20 Hupmobile, is on
display at the main offices Of

ton in Detroit.
During the trip, made in 1910

Natives in many parts of the

it was the first automobile ever

Much of the success of the
