Motorists Viewpoint
"A summary of the viewpoint
OF the individual car owner, as in.
terpreted by the A. NJ. A. is as
follows:
1.-THE per cent tax on passen-
ger automobiles is a war excise
tax, which originally was imposed
on a large number of subjects,
including musical instruments.
sporting goods, articles of wearing
apparel. perfumes, fur articles. fire
arms and a number of other sub
jects. The great majority of these
taxes have been removed.
THE retention of the 3 per cent
tax on automobiles is an unfair
discrimination, in view Of the re-
moval of the tax from numerous
other subjects.
elm view of the tremendous in
crease in the number of automo-
biles, the revenue from the 3
per cent tax is greater today than
was the 5 per cent tax originally
imposed during the war period.
The retention of this tax in the
Governments permanent fiscal plan
is unwarranted, and would be an
unfair discrimination against the
man of very moderate means, who
comprise the big percentage of the
passenger car users of today.

WIDOW GETS HELP

LEBANON. Pa, Nov. 23.-When
John A. Long, a North Annville

died several days ago, his widow
was confronted with the task OF
managing two farms and the neces-
sity of harvesting the corn crop,

That the proportion OF new"
cars is comparatively small may
be gathered from the fact that
there are some 22,O00,OOO cars
licensed in the country today. while
the yearly production of new cars
is only about 100000.
Such a comparison makes 1t
obvious that the used car business
has attained vast proportions--pro.

inconceivable, were not the used

OF the money rate to a per cent re-
newal today did not have the effect
on high grade bonds that might have
been expected. The legal issues were
dull and about steady. United States
Government bonds which follow the
money rate very closely were inclined
to sell off little after the renewal
rate was announced.
Japanese issues recovered somewhat
from yesterdays sharp decline as the
news from Japan was more encourag-
ing. The government 61as opened at
par but were later offered under that
figure. The Toxic 51as and Yokohama
6s were up u TO q. while the Jap
anese public utilities, which have
stood up better than the government
group, were firm.

A new high price was established
on Great Northern Railway Is around

cent. This bond is not callable, i'm
