session recognized the unfairness Of
thoso special levies by giving some
relief on parts and accessories and
low-priced motor trucks, but has
given none on the remaining trucks
and passenger cars. This burden
rests on the owners of 100000 mo-
tor vehicles. in the United States, one
third of whom are farmers, and as
many more of whom are industrial
workers, small merchants and others
of moderate income.
I'VE believe that this will appeal to
your judgment as an unfair condition
and we hope that when tax reform
again comes before Congress you
will urge elimination of all of these

MOTOR MAKERS FIGHT
Leftover WAR TAXES
Seek Relief From Special Levies
Imposed During the World
Conflict.

Continuing it's protest against the
special taxes imposed on the auto
mobile during the war. the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce is
writing to every. candidate for Con-
gress, asking him to take d stand
against these levies.
There is stiil ) per cent war tax
on motor cars and 5 per cent tax on
most trucks, and a zig per cent war
tax on parts, tires and accessories.
The letter, which is signed by the
chambers taxation committee, c. c.
Hanch. chairman, is as follows:
1T is six years since the end of the
war, but there still remain on the
statute books some discriminatory
war excise taxes, which constitute a
special burden on certain industries
and their customers. That these are
war emergency measures is evidenced
by the repeal of many similar taxes
in the past four years.

TRADE AD0PTSCODE.
Of SERVICE ETHICS.
Washington A. T. A. Meets
Demand of Tourists for
Standardized System.

Numerous requests from motor tour
lists for standardized service at auto
mobile service stations throughout
rho country have resulted in putting
into Immediate action the code or
service ethics" adopted recently by
the Washington Automotive Trade
Association, according to G. III. War
rington, chairman of the service COM
nittee Of the local dealers organiza-
ton.
May Play Vital Role.
The committee believes that the
". A r. A. can play a vital role in
the development Of a. standardized
national service by first putting
Washington service on the highest
possible plane thus automatically
encouraging the raising of service
standards in other cities to a level
that will be more acceptable to the
tourist
Let us put our own house in order
first" Mr.. Warrington said in ad-
dressing the committee.
F'unctioninG through the various
national motor organizati ons it is
nointed out that the w. A. T. A..
should be able to exert "a valuable
influence upon trade associations in
other cities to the end that the gen
raised.
Washington Should BENEFIT.
Washington motorists. it is said.
should benefit by the plan not only
when seeking service on their cars
AZ home. but also when on tour.
while we feel that the code adopt
ed by the W 4. T. A. is worthy of
general adoption, it is not our pur-
pose to seek such immediate adop-
ton nor to force our ideas upon trade
associations in other cities" Mr.. War
rington explains, but We do feel that
the higher the standard of our code
the higher other trade associations
will aim, and that the benefits will
accrue to the motoring public as a
direct consequence.
mo one will complain of variations
III service standards. provided the
average of such standards is high
enough to meet the motorists re-
quirements."

GETTING INTO PRACTICE.

The long trip can be made far more
enjoyable If a little practice in long
distance driving is had before start
ing on the trip. A few loom e
jaunts during the two weeks prior
to a long trip will put you in trim
for 200-mi driving better than any
thing else. The first 100 miles are the
hardest and if you can skip over them
Just as you did the other day" the

Auto Crush Record
Is Los Artkeles Claim

Los Angeles, June 10 GA. P.)-
Statistics made public by the Los
Angeles Traffic Commission reveal
that Los Angeles streets are the
most congested in the United States.
In makingFthe comparisons, traffic
at each intersection of the principal
streets outside of the downtown area
proper was recorded.
Some of the salient points which
the check disclosed were:
Los Angeles county. with 42o,512
automobiles Tourists machines not
included) represents 81 per cent Of
the total automobile registration of
the country.
Approximately 10000 cars enter
the congested district every day.
This is said to be more than the
total number of automobiles regis
tered in New York City. Motor
traffic at Adams and Figueroa streets
is declared the heaviest in the Unit
ed States. During eleven and a half
hours of the day of the check 9.79I
cars traversed both streets of the
intersection. The total registration
of Los Angeles county is larger by
10000 than that of New York.
The check shows that there are
three intersections in Los Angeles
that have a daily movement of over
$4,000 machines: six intersections
with between 10000 and $4,000: nine
intersections with between $4,000 and
10000, and % more with move
ment of 10000 to $4,000. The figures
show the traffic movement for only
one street of each intersection, that
is, north and south traffic or east
and west traffic.
