ELECTION RETURNS
BY WAY OF RADIO
Courtesy of Red Lodge Electric Com
Pany.

The returns on the presidential vote,
early in the evening, showed Coolidge
leading in all the eastern states. His
lead mounted SO fast, that 1t was con-
ceded by the New York Times at 9:45
p. M, eastern time, that Coolidge had
been elected. The New York World
and Brooklyn Citizen Joined this pa
per making three Of the largest Eemo-
cratic papers in the country to con-
cede his election. The lie Toilette can
didacy suffered a complete collapse, as
this Republican avalanche swept the
country. Governor Smith appeared to
be reelected governor of New York
by substantial majority over Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Jr.
He was congratulated In most af-
feet;onate manner by many women,
who almost smothered him with em-
braces. The Governor tried to thank
them, with tears in his eyes
The surprising event of the election
in the state Of Iowa was the strength
shown by Daniel Peck, candidate for
Senator, who is opposed by Senator
Brookhart. The latest returns, COM
ing just before the time of signing off,
gave Brookhart lead Of three fhous-
and over Peck, indicating that Peck
would probably be elected. In Iowa
Coolidge was leading Davis by vote
Of four to one, while La Toilette was
leading Davis by vote Of two to one.
Returns indicated that LaFollette
would carry his own state of Wiscon-
sin. The west had not been heard
from, but it was evident early in the
evening that the middle west had de-
serted Robert Lafollette. From Port
land came the news that the Oregon
Journal, leading Democratic newspa-
per, also had conceded the election of
president Coolidge. At the time Of
saying goodnight" at Hastings, Me-
braska, Coolidge carried 800 electoral
votes; Davis LOT and La Toilette, as
near as could be learned had his ID
with which he started early in the
evening. New York, indianapolis,
Chicago, Cleveland, Topeka, Milwau-
kee, and Omaha were among the east
ern cities giving Coolidge amazing ma
jorities.

The Republicans will control both
houses of Congress, having made a
net gain in the lower house of sixteen
members and have added Republican
senator's from Colorado, Massachus-
etts, Delaware, Kentucky, Oklahoma.
There is no indication Of the party
losing any, with the possible excep-
ton of Senator Brookhart of Iowa.
These victories will add all the needed
strength in the legislative bodies.
The latest national returns are as

Two senate contests were piststand-

Among the LaFollette leaders there
were continued predictions of further
La Toilette gains as the country Sec
tions of the states still in dispute sent
in their reports. To some extent their
expectations had been borne out dru-
ing the day, but the Republicans still
hoped that not only Montana, Nevada
and North Dakota would be retained,
but that In the end Coolidge also would
take New Mexico from Davis.
This hope grew as Minnesota and
Iowa, two Of the states on which La
Toilette had staked his expectations,
continued during the day to roll up
a Coolidge victory. In Iowa the Cool
idge victory began to assume the pro-
portions Of landslide, with the repub-
hcan nominee getting almost two votes
to La Follettes one, while in Min
nesota the days figures appeared to
give Coolidge indisputable command.
Taken all In ALL and considered in
the light Of the fate 1t dealt out to
local az well as presidential candidates
In the west and northwest, this situa-
ton represented tremendous swing
backward Of the pendulum which two
years ago turned the politics Of the
western country upside down, sent two
Farmer-Labor senators to Washing
ton, almost swept away the nominal
republican majority In the house and
gave La Toilette balance Of power
and virtual veto over the republican
administration.
At least two interesting figures i'm
the recent political life Of the capitol.
Senator Magnus Johnson, of Mime
sofa, and Senator Smith w. Brook
hart, Of Iowa, appeared at night TO
have been left high and dry by reces-
sion Of the La Toilette tide which In
1922 rose quite as suddenly ne it now
has fallen. Senator Brookhart 4 boon
companion Of In Toilette in senate
p0litica, had conceded his defeat at the
hands of democrat who received the
cnsH support of many republican
leaders. Al the same time his figures
took an upward swing. Senator John
son, however, who sought reelection
on the Farmer-Labor ticket with La
Follette's support still insisted that
the full returns would elect him, de-
spite considerable lead held on the
days returns by his republican oppon--

The Metal Mines Tax, pet tax meas

been decisively beaten. All of the
constitutional amendments were voted
upon unfavorably, but one, and by this

SAYS M0TOR|ST
SHOULD HELP
PROTEST TAX
Oakland Sales Manager
Urges Fight by l5,0OO,-
600 Car Owners.
PAY TEN TAKE
Unfair to Relieve Some
Items and Ignore Auto
mobile Tax, He Says.

Every man who owns a motor car
and every man in the automobile
trade should protest for the repeal
of the discriminatory tax on auto
motive products.
w. r. Tracy, assistant sales man
ager OF the Oakland Motor Car Com
pany, thus urges a real fight by the
100000 automobile owners whl
have been ignored in the tentative
s-hedule of the House Ways and
Means Committee which proposes to
do away with the special wartime
levies on bowling alleys and billiard
tables; all sorts of amusement tickets
up to 80 cents, jewelry and other items
while motor cars, trucks and aces
series are considered luxuries. In a
letter to the Koehler-Kunkel Motor
Company he states:
Tentative agreements were passed
by the committee reducing various ex-
else taxes 10 total aggregate OF more
than S103, 100000, yet approximately
S57, 100000 of these reductions will
be the taxes on entertainment, candy,
jewelry and spor.s, aI OIL which nave
been classified as Injuries.
Now Paying Ten Taxes.
"While X is commendable TO reduce
taxes on all the items included, it is
highly unfair to give rellef TO many
items and completely ignore the five
per cent tax on motor cars, the three
per cent tax on trucks and the five
per cent tax on parts and accessories,
aggregating nearly S150,000,OOO a
year. 1t is easy to collect Tor TIE
government but highly unfair to trans
portation.
".The government should not lose
sight of the fact that motor car users
frequently pay four to ten federal,
state and municipal taxes.
"T'he only favorable consideration
at all given the motor industry so
far was the exemption of motor buses
used exclusively for transporting chill
dren to school from the tax on auto
mobiles for hire.
THE excise tax on trucks should
have been eliminated when the gov
eminent eliminated the tax on rail-
road transportation because of the
universal use of trucks for transpor-
tation purposes.
Why 1t Is Unfair.
Excise tax amounting annually
to S40,000,000 is paid on parts not
included in the manufacture of COM
pleted vehicles. This misfortune
tax as it has been aptly named, is
an additional penalty TO the indi-
vidual who is unfortunate enough to
require either repair or restoration
of some essential part of his motor We
kicle.
"The whole proposal is unfair when
it is considered that motor vehicles
transport six times as many persons
in a year as the steam railroads and
carry 80 per cent as much freight,
when it is considered that motor We
mcles have made profitable the farm
ing of millions of acres of land shut
off from the markets before their ad
vent, and when motor vehicles are re-
Geving the railroads of improbable
short hauls and speeding deliveries
by lessening termi1>l congestion.
"The railroads and the industries
producing luxuries have been relieved
Of war-born taxes. but they are still
levied upon individual transporta-
tion."
