SINGLE TAXPLAN
FOR AUTOS URGED
Maryland Expert Would Con:
centrate All Levies on Mot
orist in Levy on Gasoline.

A plan which calls for abolition of
ali city and State charges on autOmo-
bileS and increase of the gasoline tax
so as to produce revenue equivalent TO
that now received from all sources is
advocated by Wesley S. Hanna, deputy
city controller of Baltimore.
Concentration of all charges, includ-
ing personal taxes, license and other
fees, in a straight gasoline tax would
be of considerable benefit both to gov
ernments and individuals. Mr.. Hanna
asserted, in a discussion of his plan.
Merging these charges in single
tax on gasoline would be a more equi-
table plan for motorists" MIR. Hanna
declared. The owner would pay tax
exactly in proportion to the extent Of
hts use of streets and roadways. Under
the present system a motorist who
travels 10000 miles annually pays as
much city and State license fee as
another owner with the same kind of
car who may run his machine $4,000
miles within the same period."
1t Is pointed out by the Baltimore
official that the plan would simplify
the work of the city government. The
state, under the porpoSed plan, would
collect the gasoline tax and pay the
city an amount equivalent to- personal
taxes on automobiles ndw levied
tHrousn an elaborate assessment and
collection machinery. The change
would make it possible TO abolish tax
assessment and collection work in so
far as it concerns automobiles. accord
ing to Mr.. Hanna.
It would be desirable to maintain a
license plate system for identification
and recording of cars. Mr.. Hanna
pointed out, but the cost of the plates
"ould be covered by a nominal charge
or included IN the gross gasoline levy.
Virtually all automobile owners with
whom he discussed 1t, Mr.. Hanna, said
favored the plan.

Coyote Run Down
And Killed by Ford
After Long Chase

The following story of how
Ford was used to bag a coyote
comes near to being motordom'S
prize yarn for the year 1925:
c. d. Bixler, who resides near
Stonington. Kans, is the claimant
for the title of the best shot in the
country with the well known
small car. He arrived in Elkhart.
kans.. recently with a coyote on
the front fender of his roadster
after having killed the animal in
Il chase across ranch land.
This unique hunter sighted the
coyote on Il rise a short distance
from the road and began his pur-
suit. The race between the Ford
and the animal was nip-and- tuck
in the long stretches, but the turns
were many and in one of them
the coyote did not speed up enough
to escape the onslaught of the car,
which sent 1t spinning.

REPORTS INDICATE BIG VOLUME
OF HIGHWAY TRAVEL FOR WINTER
Motor Traffic, North to South, Expected to Exceed
That of Former Years-Preparations to
Meet Increase Reported Under Way:

That a volume of highway traffic
from north and south will be recorded
during the coming Winter to a great
er degree than in former years Is in
dicated by reports from various sec
tions of the country.
Preparations for motor traffic over
northern and southern highways are
under way, and it is confidently ex
pected that only severe storms will
block its movement.
Freight congestion in southern ter
minals has led a dozen mort hern cor
porations to prepare to put on long
haul truck lines between northern
manufacturing points and southern
consuming points. Passenger con-
gestion on the railroads Will be ma
terially relieved both through the use
of private automobiles and the ne
gotiattons of new through bus lines,
making schedule runs from eastern
and middle western points to South
Atlantic and Gulf districts.

the ignition possibility absolutely out

Ifes observed that in climbing hills

matters greatly improved. The next
point was TO make the accelerating de
vice less effective. Obviously. it was
supplying too rich a mixture at all
times.
He found that the air vent was part
of a small screw which could be re-
moved. He removed it. The trouble
vanished. Upon inquiry of the carbu-
rotor people he found he could obtain
a screw with a larger vent if driving
without the screw affected aCcelera-

The important point in Smiths dis
covery was that the nearer he got to

he could work. The big trouble was

No. 126-How to Locate Trouble.

Smith was running around in cir.

brought III lot of matters which
could not possibly have anything to do
with the trouble. Furthermore. he was
not even making sure of the ground
he eliminated.
The trouble was "bucking" at speeds
between 15 and 20 miles an hour in
high gear. The same trouble often oc.

This led to the conclusion that the

Acting on this tip, Smith commenced
to make some real progress with his
problem. He took the car to the Serv.

trouble was in the clutch. He might
have gone on another wild goose chase

that the clutch could have nothing 10
