A simpler and easier method Of
registration would be a great re-
lief to motorists everywhere, and 1t
is believed that the saving to the
States motor vehicle departments
in administrative costs would be
reflected in more efficient work
along lines originally intended for
registration activities.
The general motoring public is
coming to see that there has been
too much fussing over unnecessary
details in the registering OF cars
and not enough attention to such
matters as Identification OF cars.

clubs and other places where mo.

They cannot see where an elaborate
and illogical basis for taxation
serves any purpose except to help
prove to the motorist that his
apathy toward legislative matters
continually costs him money.

is that the basic fee paid annually

u. w. NASH,
President of the Nash Motor
Company, was a visitor i'm Wash
ingt0n and the guest Of the
Hurley Motor Company and 100
dealers who represent the Nash
in nearby towns. At a luncheon
given at the Arlington Hotel MIR.
Nash was introduced by Leon
Hurley. president of the Hurley
Motor Company, of this city. Mr..
Nash said that his factory was
far behind orders that on the
first of the month they were
over 500 and that by the first
of March he expected there would
be 1000 orders untitled. He advised
the dealers to take cars when they
could get them, that because Of
the new model the Nash factory
had been unable to stock dealers,
and that there would be many
unable to get them If they waited
for. spring. He expects that this
will be the best and largest year
i'm the history of the Nash fac
tories. He stated that there has
been talk for years Of the sur
vival Of the fittest in the auto
motive trade and cited many
cases and showed how the list Of
exhibitors at the national shows
has dropped from over 100 man
ufacturers to the present fifty,

would not be affected by the
change, and any deficiency in State
revenue from motorists would he
made up by an addition to the
gasoline tax.
Plan Was Successful.
Connecticut's action in the matter
is believed to be the result OF the
success OF a similar plan In Cali
fornia rather than because of a ;le-
mand on the part Of car owners for
a change. In California there is
Of the tax being paid in the form of
a 2-cent fee on each gallon of
gasoline.
With the plan already in force on
the Pacific coast and under consid.
GRAFTON on the Atlantic, much in
terest is being displayed in the SUBJ
ject Of proper registration methods.
Methods throughout the country
vary widely. ranging all the way
from taxing on a basis of weight
to consideration OF age and price
Of the car to be registered. The
general opinion is that this repre-
sents unnecessary work and ex-
pense. 1t is not only work for the
motorist to figure out his taxaole
horsepower, weight or whatever
the basis happens TO be, but work
for the motor vehicle department.
This effort builds no roads and
serves no good purpose.

limitation on the age OF motor
vehicles these records sometimes
go back to the dim past, covering
cars that have long since gone out
of production. Foreign. cars ma.
turally present further need for
accuracy in registration procedure.
The motoring public pays for all
this indirectly. The more red tape
there is in the registration process
the more public funds are wasted.

This depends OF course upon the
number of cars registered.
Whether the gasoline tax repre-

that even the revised method OF
arriving at the registration basis Is

Connecticut proposal as the begin
