A 4. A. FIGHTST0
REDUCE WAR
TAXES
Urges Motorists to Pledge
Their Congressman for Abo-
Iition Of Assessments

The American Automobile Assoc
citation has issued the following
statement, urging its members to
pledge their congressional candi.
oates to vote for further reductions
in the discriminatory war excise
taxes: These taxes We're imposed
to meet emergency revenue needs
and are unfair and constitute an
undue burden on automobile
owners, who are already singled
out for heavy special state and
local taxes.
The last session o. Congress
granted some relief on parts and
accessories and low-priced motor
trucks, but none to the passenger
car purchaser" The Al. "A. A.
Service Bulletin No. % is as fol-
lows: Get your Congressman
pledged to war excise tax reduc-
ton. You will recall the stiff fight
we had at the last session Of Con-
gress to win q reduction on war
excise motor vehicle taxes.
AS a result the nuisance taxes
on tires, tubes, parts and Access
series were reduced from to 2M
per cent and truck and wagon
chassis selling for $1,000 or less
and auto truck bodies selling for
5000 or less were relieved of the
8 per cent tax, the entire reduction
amounting to approximately $685.
100000 a year. These taxes had
drawn from the Inotorist over
$575, 100000 since they were insti-
tuted and the Three AS took the
stand that inasmuch as all other
war excise taxes had been dropped
or reduced the motorist was en-
titled to relief, and we secured it
in part.
Now with the opening Of Con-
gress we wish to go after further
relief, and remove the 8 per cent
tax on passenger vehicles. You
will be of material assistance to
us If you get in touch with your
Congressman, or candidates, before
election, and get them pledged to
further tax reduction at the next
session.
Details Of our first fight will be
found in Bulletin Nos. 8, IL, II,
issued on February %, March "a,
and May 81, respectively. The
work that clubs can do on this
matter between now and election
day may mark the difference be-
tween defeat and victory. AS u

THEIR CARS TO

Average Buyer Hopes to Drive
for Several Years, Says
Hendricks Expert

The automobile buyer Of today is
in the market for car to drive for
several years, according to Mr.. Hen
bricks. of the Hendricks Motor Com.
pany, local distributors of the Davis
Motor Cars.
Motorists have learned that It
doesn't pay to break a car in one
year. and then next year get a new
car and go through the same process
again. Nowadays they're looking
for car that they can drive, twp,
three, Of four years, perhaps the
kind of car that has just started
running when it turns ten or fifteen
thousand miles"
such a car must be sound me-
chemically. And in addition, It must
be advanced in its body design, or
else it will look out OF date long
before its days of useful, satiseac-
tory service have passed. The in
creasing popularity Of the Davis is
due in part, believe, to this ten
dency in motor car buying, for the
Davis meets every desire of the
motorist.
The Davis chassis is sturdily con-
structed in accordance with the
foremost engineering methods. It
incorporates the finest specialized
units that can be had-units that
the buyer knows he can depend ON
all perfectly co-ordinated. And
every Davis is built, as If it Is the
one car on which Davis reputation
will rest. And the body designs
their graceful lines and distinctive
finishes assure the buyer OF style

The repair kit will include can
of patching cement, some patching
rubber, little wooden paddle for
spreading the cement, a piece Of
smooth board about five by twelve
inches in dimensions and C-clamps.
There must also be a piece of
gandpaper for roughening the sur
face Of the rubber, and a small
roller is very useful addition to
the kit. always carry a bottle
OF gasoline, to use in cleaning the
surface around the hole to be
patched.
In making a, tube repair, lay the
section to be mended on the board
and fasten 1t with two clamps
Clean the surface around the hole
or cut with gasoline and then
roughen it, with sandpaper. Next
spread cement over "a large enough
area to permit of using a good
sized patch! Don't forget this last,
rs a small patch seldom holds WELL
After the cement has been spread
with the paddle, one of those that
come with jar of mustard is al.
most ideal, wait five minutes by
your watch and then spread on
another coat of cement. Wait an
other five minutes and you are
ready to apply the patch. Peel off
the thin strip Of material from the
business side of the patch and APP
ply sit sticky side down, to the
cemented area. Pump up the tube
JUST little, so as to stretch the
rubber and make a complete con.
tract with the patch.
The tube may now be inserted in
the casing and a little more air be
pumped in, 1t is best to pump up
the tire slowly, pumping minute or
30 and then waiting, taking. twenty
or twenty-five minutes to initiate the
tire completely.
After one has patched few
tubes, he gets the knack Of the
thing and can r.pair a cut that
would stump him at first. He can
even make a double repair, placing
one patch inside and another out
side. He will learn too that even
when tair develops near the valve
when a tear develops near the valve
vaIves remove it to another location
on the tube and patch the old hole
over. Two rules to remember: Use
generous patches, not small ones
and take your time.

While it is out of the question to
put old heads on young shoulders, it
must be taught to control impulse
and to regulate its actions by
proper regard for others wishes.

to profit thereby. 1t is not accident
that will help you. 1t is not luck or
fate that will assist you; it is only
purpose and persistent industry. If
you would cultivate these virtues and
forget your dreams, you will be quick
to discern opportunities and turn them
to account.
