LACK OF SELECTION
MISTAKEN PROGRESS
Dealer Describes Enormous ideas
Of Progress in Buying Of
Automobiles.

Carelessness in buying cars IS the
real reason for what passes in Amer
ica as a desire to be progressive. in
the opinion OF Stanley Horner, local
Buick dealer.
Under the pretext Of wanting TO
keep pace with the times, he says.
tho average motorist is constantly
turning in the car that he really
never should have bought.
According to Mr.. Horner's analysis
of the excessive turnover of cars the
motorist has carried the bluff so far
that he actually fools himself.
This condition" he explains, ere
suits in hasty buying. annual dis
satisfaction, high depreciation loss
and a foolish conviction that it is
part of progressive ownership to keep
changing. This would be logical If
improvements in cars were SO radi-
cal from year to year as to warrant
discarding a year-old car, but with
conditions as they are there is no
reason why each motorist should not
be able to select a car that would
save him the annual turnover.
1T is merely question in selecting
the proper cars for ones needs. Con-
sideration of price classes is not
buy too fine car only to discover
that with his limited means and care
less habits in ownership he could not do
Justice to the investment.
american car owners enjoy the
reputation of being progressive, but
they are carrying 1t too far. Their
progressiveness has actually become
carelessness. They want the newest
and the best, but they do not take the
time or trouble to find 1t.
ANY new car will not do for the
man who is honestly irving to be
progressive, for there is no car built
today that will satisfy everybody.
There are, however. enough cars on
tho market to satisfy every need. 1t
is matter Of bringing the two into
proper focus"

Use Of funds collected from gas
oline taxation for purposes other than
those connected with the construction
and maintenance of roads and the use
and operation of motor vehicles is
condemned by the American Automo-
bile Association as an unjust dis
elimination against the automobile
owner.
The attempt on the part of munic-
ipalities and State legislatures, as has
become evident in certain sections Of
the country, to victimize the motor
list to the extent of making him bear
the major portion of the burden Of
general improvements is an evil
which strikes at the very root of
the fundamental principles Of repre-
sentative taxation" according to
Thomas P. Henry, president Of the
association.
Is Easily Taxed.
"The automo obile owner is probably
the most easily taxed of all our
citizens" explained Mr.. Henry. "He
pays his personal, his municipal,
county, State and Federal taxes, and,
in addition, his motor vehicle and gas
taxes. These are perhaps all neces-
sary and, when applied and admin
istared properly, just and equitable.
But when State and municipal officials
attempt to fill the Golfers of their
treasures with huge sums for gem
eral Improvement, gathered in large
part from additional burdens imposed
on dangerous ground, and it is high
time a stop be put to such practice.
THE American Automobile Asso-
citation is unalterably opposed to any
practice of taxing car owners as
such for general governmental pur-
poses, whether it be to construct a
schoolhouse, acquire a public utility
or grant a general increase in salaries
to public officials.
THE money for such purposes
should be raised from the entire citi-
zenship, regardless of car ownership,
and any deviation from that practice
strikes at the very root of the funda-
mental principles of representative
taxation for which this country has
always stood"
Taxation for Roads.
At a recent meeting Of the board
of directors of the A. A. A., resolu-
tion was adopted stating that 1.-The
American Automobile Association be-
lieves 1t to be an inequality of tax
alton to levy upon the owners of
motor cars, busses and trucks, and
against their use as class. excise and
other special taxes and licenses for
general governmental purposes. This
association urges that funds so raised
be used exclusively for purposes
directly connected with and related
to the construction, maintenance and
use of roads and the use and opera
tion of motor vehicles
This resolution, it was pointed out

and larger figures are the result of
greater export activity on the part
OF American firms, but il must not
be overlooked that European firms
are also responsible for some of the
changes.

than In all the rest Of the world COM
bined. Eighty per cent of the worlds
motor vehicles are travelling over
Americas streets and highways, and
approximately one OF every six per-
sons in this country has either an
automobile, truck or a motor cycle.
These are figures based on 1924 au-
tomotive statistics, just issued by
Percy owen, chief OF the automotive
division of the Department Of Com
merce. In round numbers. the United
States last year spent $2,362.000,0o0
on new motor vehicles, while the ex-
penditure OF the entire world on mo-
tor transportation was slightly more
than an additional billion dollars.
Entire Cost Of Cars.
Returns from the departments
trade agents throughout the world
indicate that during the last year
there were assimilated 100000 pas
senger cars and trucks and 100000
motor cycles. At an average retail
cost of $1,000 for cars and trucks and
$500 for motor cycles, the world spent
about $3.50, 100000 for new motor
vehicles. The United States alone ac-
counted for 20 per cent Of the new
vehicles purchased.
A world increase OF 2,76o. 900 in pas
senger cars and approximately $780,
600 in trucks during 1924 reveals the
fact that the latter registered a more
imposing rate of registration increase
than did the former, the figures being
23 per cent for trucks and II per
cent for cars. This represents q ten
dency. according to Mr.. Owens, which
may be even moro pronounced dur
ing the present year. 1t is also said
to substantiate the oft-repeated
statement that automotive vehicles
are coming more and more to fill the
worlds need for commercial trans
portation.

by Mr.. Henry, was based on reports
to national headquarters here that
not few communities were floating
large bond issues for general i'm
provements, the bonds to be payable
out Of funds collected in large part
from gasoline and motor vehicle
excises. In many cases the proceeds
from these issues were to provide,
among other things, for road con-
struction and maintenance.

Is Hit Hardest.
Many public officials are too prone
to want to have large sums in their
treasures available for improve
ments. The result is that the tax
payer is taxed more heavily to pav
the interest and principal, and the
most easily taxed of aiI-the owner
of an automobile, motor bus or truck
gets hit the hardest"
The failure OF the $4,000, 900 Ken
lucky general improvement bond
issue at the last election was cited as
an example of the probable result OF
further attempts to place the brunt
OF general improvements on car
owners as such. OF the, sum the
State proposed to raise, $4,000, 600
was to be expended for the construc-
tiOQ and maintenance Of roadS and
the remainder-s25.0 900, ,o00-for State
asylums, the university and other
general purposes.
The interest and principal on the
entire issue, however, were to be pay
able out of funds collected from a g.
cent gasoline tax to be levied upon
automobiles, motor trucks and buses.
This proposed issue was opposed
not only by the automobile clubs"
Mr.. Henry explained, but 1t failed to
receive the Endorsement of the munic-
| ipal securities committee of the In
vestment Bankers Association. The
motor clubs recognized In il an ef-
fort to straddle unjustly onto the car
owner s25,00o,0o0 and more additions,
taxation which rightly should be i'm
posed upon the entire citizenship. TIL
bankers saw in it poor communit
| financing practice. With car owner
through their automobile organic
tions, asserting their rights, it fail
of passage at election time and
proponents also went down with
