motor vehicles still registered, par
ticularly passenger cars.
In the face of these two facts
the per vehicle tax increased $756
or 20 per cent during this three
year period. The annual tax on
basis of valuation increased 81 per
cent and the total tax on the aver
age value paid through the average
life of the vehicle increased APT per
cent.
With pyramiding of motor tax
rates and enactment Of new taxes
there is every evidence that the sit
uation has reached the point where
the law of diminishing returns is
making itself definitely felt.
Many state highway depart
ments are brought face to face with
these diminishing returns, just as
they are confronted with increasing
road obligations, because of the in
ability of state subdivisions to meet
their obligations.
Unless steps are taken to put
motor taxes on reasonable level, To
limit the agencies levying them, and
to safeguard every cent Of revenue
from these taxes for road purposes
there is every reason to expect a
breakdown of the motor tax
structure of the country, a serious
weakening of the credit behind
state road bonds, and far-reaching
Generalization of state road pro-
grams"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Motor
vehicle taxation reached the high
est point in history in 1882, &C
cording to preliminary figures made
public today by the national taxa
ton committee of the American Au-
tomobile Association.
In the face of declining registra-
ton and decreases use of the mo-
tor vehicle, as reflected in declin-
ing gasoline consumption, an all
time high for taxation was reached
in 1882, with an average tax Of
S45.28 a vehicle. according to fig
ures of the national motoring body.
Among outstanding facts revealed
by the survey are the following:
That on a total valuation OF
S4,050, 625,600, motor vehicle prop
erty paid S1,o99 ,293, 844 in federal,
state and local taxes, the equivalent
Of S4528 a vehicle.
That this amounts to a levy Of
PA per cent per annum on the ba-
sis Of the value of the property.
That at the current rate, the av-
erage motor vehicle during its life
period Of seven years pays taxes in
the amount of 1708 per cent Of its
average value.
Commenting on these figures, Sid
ney D. Walden of Detroit, chairman
of the A. A. A. taxation committee,
said:
ANY fair analysis of the situation
today should convince congress and
state legislatures that top-heavy
and unscientiflc motor taxes, to-
gether with the growing temptation
to use these taxes for genera. pur-
poses, are threatening the coun-
try's motor transportation structure.
In the three-year period, 1880,
1881, and 1882, there was a decline

ing and the doors will remain open

motor cars will be represented at the
show, officials of the Indianapolis
Auto Trade Association said. Entries
were received as late as Friday
when earlier entrants already had
completed their arrangements, but
all exhibits had been completed to-
day.
An unusual feature of this years
show is the reduction in prices of
new models from those of a year
ago, in spite of the fact that entirely
new lines are offered by some manu-
facturers, and all have made strik-
ing refinements and improvements
in their products.
According to officials, manufac-
turerS designed their 1888 models with
the realization that competition and
business conditions made necessary
| the offer Of unusual value.
Price ranges represented by cars
in the local show extend from models
at less than $500 to custom-built

company.

this year in the display of CONNER
clal vehicles, officials said. A num-

PRESIDENT TO
 MAKE HIS. FINAL
 PUBLIC APPEAL
Every Agency Put to Work for Recovery = To-day He Tackles the Great Oil Industry
BY H. o. THOMPSON

(United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, July 24.-CUP)- President Roosevelt will put into motion tonight the greatest peace time appeal to public opinion this country has ever known. He put the finishing touches to his "friendly'' appeal to the people as the natoinal recovery administra- ton came to grips with the prob- lem of stabilizing the chaotic American oil industry.
 President Roosevelt's message will be another of his friendly talks to the American people. He will make direct plea to every employer in the United States to enter voluntary agreements for higher wages and shorter working hours.
 Nobilizing every means of com municati0n, the MIRA is beginning it's drive to put the recovery pro- gram before every individual In the copntry with, a blunt state- ment that the return of better times depends upon prompt com pliance with the presidents re. employment campaign.
 Employers are asked to cooper ate by agreeing to a 35-hour week with $14 minimum wage for Ia bor, and a 4O-hour week and min- imum $15 salary for clerical workers.
 The oil hearings opening to-day bring to the front the issues of federal production control, licens- ing of oil production. transporta- ton, refining and marketing, and matetrs of price cutting and labor regulations.
 The code proposed by the American Petroleum. Institute fix es a 40-hour week with minimum wages from 40 to 47 cents an hour. Independent operators propose Q 30-hour week with minimum pay of 50 cents an hour.
 Factions within the industry are arrayed against each other pro- viding friction in addition to the usual differences between the in- terests of employer and employe.
 The industry wants dictator, and developments in this connec- ton may be expected. Resolu- tions attached to the proposed code declare that price cutting and other marketing practices make 1t essential to license the business of producing, transporting, refining and marketing petroleum and its products"
 The stream of telegrams pledging cooperation of individuals, business concerns and organizations in the recovery drive continued over the week end. Administration workers toiled through a hot and sticky Sunday, mapping. plans for the publicity campaign which soon will echo in every corner of Amer ica.

 Congressman Edward W.
