The Federal Government Is not BEAR
ing its share of highway costs. II IS
using l.465.274 miles of roads for the
delivery of mail. Federal business. 1t Is
wearing out these roads and leaving the
entire cost of keeping them in condi-
ton to be borne by the States and
counties. The mail delivery by high.
way is increasing rapidly. the motor bus
taking the business from the railway.
and 1t would seem that there should be
at least an equal increase in Federal
road appropriations. Yet the mileage OF
post roads has increased on rural routes
10 per cent and on star routes IS per
cent in the last seven years. while the
Federal road appropriations have

BUS TAXDEc|S|0N
Of INTEREST HERE
Supreme Court Ruling Held of
Local Importance: Other
Issues Cleared.

Three decisions of interest TO the
automobile and bus owners of the coun-
try were rendered Oh Monday of this
week by the United States supreme
Court. The first and probably the most
important OF local application TO WASH
inSton, ii is pointed out by Thomas J..
Keefe general manager of the Amcri-
can Motorists Association. Is the hold
lns of the Supreme Court that a State
may tax. on mileage basis, buses
uSed in the interstate traffic.
The case arises in Connecticut. which
imposed tax of one cent mile for
each mile traverSed on motor vehicles
used In interstate bus transportation.
the tax being part of the States high
way maintenance fund. The Connecti-
cut bus corporation contested the valid
ity Of the tax on the ground that II is
tax on interstate commerce between
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island and that the State cannot thus
tax interstate commerce. this being
delegated to the Federal Government.
The Supreme Court held that the tax
Is constitutional and does not conSti-
tute an unreasonable regulation on IN
terstate commerce. due primarily TO the
fact that the tax imposed is for main-
tcnance OF the State highways. which
are used by the interstate buses.
The decision is of local Importance.
Mr.. Keefe stated. because 1t makes pos
sihle the taxing in this manner OF all
interstate buses which are operated IN
and out OF Washington by the e6 local
bus companies" Both Virginia and
Maryiand. if they so desire. can under
the terms of the decision require bus
companies running into Washington
from these States to pay mileage
tax, which might curtail bus opera
tions in and out of the District. the
association points out.
The second decision deals with the
right of Commercial Credit Corpora
ton holding commercial paper on an
AUTOMOBILE which is seized by the pro-
hibition enforcement agents for illegal
use in the transportation of liquor. The
lower court and the Court OF Appeals
of Washington State held that the
government has right to seize and
sell such automobiles thus DESTROYING
the lien which the company sold II
held
The seizure was made under section
3450 of the Revised Statutes which. IN
substance, provides that seized vehicles
used in connection With the illegal
transportation of liquor on which the
tax has not been paid may be libeled
and sold bv the government irrespective
of the lien held by the company or
AGENT which originally sold the car
The Supreme Court reversed both deei-
sions of the State courts and held that
the credit corporations rights under
their lien might not be thus DESTROYED
"Thr decision IS Just one which the
credit corporations and automobile
dealers are entitled to as matter OF
protection for the liens" Mr.. keefe de.
clared.
A third decision, of interest TO taxi
cab and railroad companies, was rem
dered holding in effect that railroad
company owning terminal facilities
NAV lease its facilities exclusively TO
taxicab company and exclude other
companies from soliciting fares at the

Auto CrOwls Due
To Wear and Lack
OF Proper Oiling

Automobile noises are usually de-
scribed as knock, a grinding or
scratching sound, hiss. rattle
or a groWl or hum They all have
their causes. but can generally be
traced as follows:
Grinding or scratching Is likely
to be due to a dirty or Clipped ball
or roller bearing, to lack Of lubri-
cation Of bearing. to a loose or bent
part rubbing against another or to
the speedometer gears.
GroWls or huns usually come from
some of the gears. due to wear in
them, or the bearings Of their shafts,
due to their having been improperly
set or to lack Of grease in their
maintenance.
