SEES WIDE DECREASE

Foreign Trade Chairman Cites Re-

Worldwide action toward the reduc-

John N WHY'S, chairman of the for

as among the countries which have re-
Gently taken this step.
The repeal of the Federal war ex-
else taxes on the automobile by the
United States Government is but an
indication of a worldwide tendency"
said Mr.. WHY'S. Motor transporta-
ton is coming increasingly to be recog-
nized as an economic necessity in all
lands.
There is always dangerous ten
dency to overload taxation on tangible
property. Railroads, real estate and
motor vehicles have at different times
in world history suffered from this ten
dency on the part of governments to
easy.
Enlightened public opinion, however,
always demands that productive facili-
ties should be encouraged, and protests
against killing tn: goose which lays
golden eggs.
In the United States there has al
ways been a strong feeling against the
sales tax, and particularly against
singing out few products for special
taxation.
Action of the automobile manufac-
turers in passing this tax repeal di-
rectly to the consumers, resulting In a
lower delivered price Of the motor We
hicle. has resulted in a prompt stimu-
lation of trade.
The procedure of Chile and Peru in
lowering their motor taxes has already
been distinct aid to business in these
countries"

ELDREDGE IS MADE CHAIRMAN
OF IMPORTANT TRAFFIC BODY
Will Direct Study of Increas-
ing Problem of Street
Safety.
Saving of Big Sum and of
Many Lives Seen in
Standardization.

M. o. Eldridge, assistant traffic direc-
tor of Washington, has been appointed
chairman of the traffic commission of
the city official division of the Ameri-
can Road Builders Association. The
committee will select various sub-com-
mittees for the purpose of studying
traffic problems of the United States
and bringing about methods of stand
ardizing city traffic.
Capt H. G. Whitehurst. assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner of the
District is president of the city officials
division. The organization embraces
the officials of large and small cities
throughout the United States. Capt.
Whitehurst has also been named
chairman of the administration and
organization committee of the division.
The work of the Eldredge and White
hurst committees will consist of col
lecting scientific information which
may be used in drawing up standards
to be nationally adopted by city street
and traffic departments. The study of
particular problems will be assigned to
a number of subcommittee selected
from the membership of the orsaniza-
ton.
Big Saving Foreseen.
Mr.. Eldredge yesterday stated that
the Standardization of methods of
handling traffic may be carried to such
degree that millions of dollars and
hundreds of lives may be saved each
year.
"A careful study of the most desirable
points of traffic control in the various
cities of the United States will I'M
questionably bring to light new knowl-
edge which will tend to reduce costs
and accidents" he said. Traffic con-
gestion in the United States has been
estimated to cost several billion dollars
annually. I believe that a thorough
study of the problems in connection
with the handling of this traffic will do
much toward reducing this enormous
loss"
