1884 AUTO TAGS
WILLCOST LESS
IN IA STATES
Il. n. A. Declares
Taxes Discourage
Ownership.

Owners Of passenger automobiles IN
IA States will pay less for their 1884
license plates, and the reduced fees
have already had the effect Of checking
declines in the number Of cars In some
sections of the country.
This statement was made today by
the American Automobile Association
on the basis of survey Of license plates
costs and registration trends In the 48
States and the District of Columbia.
The highlights of the survey are:
The IA States which have reduced
registration fees for all passenger cars
or for cars in certain classes are Ar
kansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho. Kansas, Maine, Montana, Ne
braska. Nevada, Oregon, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Vermont.
In four Of these, namely, Arkansas,
Georgia, Kansas and Nebraska, where
the lower fees have been in effect for
some time, there has been a decided
increase in the number Of passenger
cars registered as compared to year
ago. In Georgia the gain was in excess
of Is 900.
On July 81 there were 1915 ,oe4 pas
senger automobiles registered in the
United States, as compared to 1926
353 on the same date year ago, de-
Cll1lc Vi y per C6IlC. Ills WIS the LOWEST
percentage decrease over yearly period
since 1880.
Our survey" said Thomas P. Henry
Of Detroit, Mich, president of the
A. A. A, Indicates most clearly the
effect high taxation has had in dis
couraging car ownership and use. That
legislators in many sections of the
country are alive to the situation is
evident from the trend toward scaling
down high registration fees.
'It is interesting to note that the
States where an increase in the num-
Der Of registered cars has followed re-
ductions in tag fees were among those
hardest hit by economic conditions dur
ing the last three years. In one of these
the drop in the number of cars regis
tered during 1882 as compared to 1881
| amounted to rs per cent.
Certainly an increase in the num-
Der of cars registered iii those States
| should offer convincing proof that high
! taxation as much as anything else is
diScouraglng car ownership and retard-
ing the development of the countrys
| great automotive industry. 1t is to be
hoped that the Congress will see the
handwriting on the wall and join the
effort TO reduce motor taxes through
the repeal at the earliest possible op-
portunity of all Federal automotive
excise taxes"

Brooklyn Eagle
Asks authority
For Ne,u Station

First of New York's newspapers to
decide to enter the broadcasting field
since William Randolph Hearst acquired
what is now WINS, is the BROOKLYN
Daily Eagle, which has applied to the
Federal Radio Commission for author
ity to erect a new 500-watt station to
operate on 1.40o ki1ocycles. A broad
casting subsidiary has been organized
under the laws Of Delaware with capital
stock of $50,000 and with M. Preston
Goodfellow, publisher of the newspaper.
as its president.
The wave length sought is now occu-
pied by four time-Sharing stations in
the metropolitan area, namely, WBBC
With. WARD and WVFW The news
paper seeks their quota facilities, and
at hearing before the commission will
be required to show why these stations
should be displaced and whether a su-
perior public service can be rendered
The commission latterly has frowned
upon time-sharing of this character
but various efforts to consolidate the
four diversely owned stations have al
ways proved futile.
The newspaper application states
that more than $4,000 would be ex-
pended in establishing the new station
The other stations are expected to re-
sist the newspapers request for their
facilities.

TRAFFIC PLAN

Transportation
Problem to Be
Presented.

The report to Congress on the whole
problem Of coordination Of the trans
portation systems of the United States
will be completed and made public early
in January by Joseph B. Eastman. Fed
eral c0-ordinator of transportation,
Eastman's report, which Federal
economists hope will furnish a nucleus
for more thorough and extensive sci
entiflc studies of transportation in the
future, will be presented to Congress a
short time before the opening Of the
annual convention of the American
Road Builders Association at the
Stevens Hotel in Chicago on January
%. AS a result, these findings and
recommendations will form the basis
of some of the most important discus
sions to be held at the convention.
To Assist Studies.
The highway industry, represented by
the American Road Builders ASsocia-
ton, has accepted an invitation to as
sist in the Federal co-ordinator's S
studies.
The coming convention, in consider
ing the report of Eastman, will lay
plans to place before the people of the
Nation the Importance Of carrying on
the extension Of improved highways
financed by funds obtained largely from
the users of roads.
1T is significant" stated H. c. White
hurst, president of the American Road
Builders Association, that while there
are 147,000 miles of paved roads in the
United States, there are only 866, 900
miles of the main highway systems that
have been improved in any way and
2.172,000 miles which have never been
touched by the road builder. 1t has
been found that driving on a paved
road is % cents per mile cheaper than
on a mud road, while an all-weather
highway is l cent per mile cheaper than
an unimproved one. Thus, if the State
highway systems were improved in their
entirety, the saving to the general pub
lie would amount to $500, 100000 per
year. This figure may be compared
with the amount spent for construction
both city streets and rural highways,
in 1880, which was 81 SAB, 769, ,064."
Featured by Exhibit.
The convention of the road builders,
which will be attended by Federal,
State, county and city officials, highway
engineers and contractors, machinery
and material manufacturers and high
way users, will be featured by a COM
prehensive exhibition of road building
machinery and materials. For the first
time in many years this exhibit will be
housed under the same roof as the con-
vention. being scheduled for the exhibi-
ton hall of the Stevens Hotel.

Where you run In the traffic process
sion should indicate where you want to
go. Not realizing this, a friend of mine
found herself obliged to make left turn
exactly where she didn't want to. She
had kept in the inside lane of traffic
and had to follow the procession when
that line commenced making a left
turn.
One reason why it pays to have a car
serviced regularly is because work is
done in logical order. It is sad to see
so many owners paying double for each
Job Just because so much of the ground
has to be gone over twice. I've Just
heard the sad story of a woman owner
who had to have a new clutch plate
installed not more than a month after
letting some one fuss with transmits
sion bearing. It was as illogical as
having leaky cylinder head gasket re-
placed without grinding the valves, or
replacing piston rings without also re-
placing piston pins.
told one woman that If she wanted
to bring the battery up to par, after
running 1t down in cranking, she should
give the car a good run. A few days
later she reported that my suggestion
had cost her a new battery, but she
failed to add that she had taken the
run at too fast pace and at night. The
generator doesn't charge as high at
higher speeds and, Of course, night driv-
ing permits the lights to pull down the
battery.
A fussy motorist has always made it
a rule to lift the hood and dust off the
motor before starting off in the morn
ing. Recently another friend has stored
her car in the same garage and in
variably has trouble starting. Neither
knew just why there should be this
difference between the cars, but the
truth is the painstaking owner was
wiping moisture from the spark plugs
and distributor without realizing that
this helped speed the start.

trouble the average woman driver more
than the choke. So let's choke this fear
right now.
All that worrisome control does Is
open and close a valve to regulate the
amount of air going to the carburetor.
To start a cold motor It Is necessary to
close off all the air for moment. Since
a motor must have air to breathe OBJ
viously you canont keep it running with
the choke valve fully closed. Nor can
you expect cold engine to run with
the normal amount Of air. Which Is
the same as saying that 1t is wrong to
push the choke button all the way in
to the dash Just as soon as the engine
starts. The right way is to push the
control one-quarter to one-th1rd the
way in and then try to go further to
the halfway position. When you drop
into low gear to drive out to the street
push the choke button all the way to
the dash and do not pull II out half
way again unless the motor spits back,
stalls or hesitates.
1t is important to vary your procedure
II the engine starts and stalls a few
times, or If 1t does not go of after
the initial and normal period of chok-
ing. 1t may need complete elimination
of choking to start If there has been
overlooking. Too many drivers seem
to be under the impression that one
must continue choking until the motor
starts. That simply floods the cylinders
with raw gas and delays the whole
process.
The weeks safety sermonette concerns
the wisdom of moving up a little if
you have stopped suddenly and over
estimated the margin of space between
your car and the object of danger This
gives the driver behind a breathing
space, for he may not be able to stop
as quickly or may not have started to
stop as soon.
Whenever stop to consider how hard
the rear end of the car works begin
to feel a bit critical of myself for not
taking better care of it. While its lubri-
cant will last for several years it is
constantly being defled with dirt and
chips from the gears. The truth is
the lubricant should be changed not
so much because it has lost its normal
properties but because a new supply
serves as a filtration process.

CHICAGO WILL
PAY TEACHERS

CHICAGO, May 13. WP)-Assur-
ed that 13,000000 for back salaries
would be available within four
days, some 1000 school teachers de-
cided against staging a protest
march through The Loop today.
They alternately cheered and
booed when letters from Melvin A.
Traylor, president of the First Ma
tional bank, and Mayor Edward j.
Kelly were read.
The paragraph from Traylor's
statement which brought glee to
the teachers, unpaid for many
months, was:
Il am happy to tell you and
through you to say to your asso-
ciates that the five principal Loop
banks have completed negotiations
with the school board for the pur-
chase of 1882 school warrants in
amount of approximately $13,000,-
000."
Traylor explained his opposition
on the proposed march as follows:
81 don't care how many parades
the teachers have but if they come
to our bank in any great numbers,
interrupting business, 1 can say
that the First National bank will
not buy a single warrant"

Insane jealousy was blamed to-

DR.. Ivan C. Burke, prominent local
dentist, picked out his estranged

then ended his own life.
Authorities said Burke slipped
undetected into the home of Will

night. He carried a rifle. Locating
his wife, Bera, in the kitchen, he
shot her without warning, then

Burke killed himself before panic
stricken guests could intervene.
Mrs. Erwins wound was not con-
sidered serious.

Senator Glass (Dem) Virginia,

secretary of treasury, was defeated
on an amendment to make insur-
ance of bank deposits Immediately
effective on accounts of $4,000. AS

SENATORS RAKE ROLPH WITH
VIGOROUS REPLY TO CHARGES

SACRAMENTO, May 13. U.PJ-
Governor Rolph today prepared to
answer condemnatory charges lev
elled against him by three state
senators late yesterday in an unpre-
cedented senatorial outburst against
the administration.
The verbal onset, inspired by the
Governors reply Thursday to the
Inman investigation committees
report, made political history. New
er before, it was said, has Cali
fornia governor been subjected to
such prolonged and all-inclusive
criticism on the senate floor.
For two hours, Senators j. M. IN
man, Herbert Jones and w. P. Rich
all members OF the investigating
committee-flayed the administra-
ton and Rolph personally. This
triumvirate had been assailed in
the governors statement.
During the investigation, the Sem
atorS said, administration agents
attempted every conceivable meth
cd to embarrasS them. Personal eff
fects of a committee investigator
were rifled; plainclothesmen dog
ged their footsteps; a committee
employee was offered a state job if
he would reveal inside committee
information, and state employees
were sent forth with blanket orders
to stop the Inman committee" /"
they asserted
Most sensational was the charge
revealed for the first time of
Senator Jones. Isidore Golden, tine
governors attorney, appeared at a
committee hearing with the appar-
ent intent of breaking up the ses-
sion, Jones said. During Golden's
presence, armed men, sent by the
administration, appeared"

BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

OhieCu AiCos otdii correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 13. = The
economic recovery partnership a
mong government, industry, labor
and the public contemplated in
President Roosevelt's industrial
control, was outlined in the United
Press today as providing for:
l. A national board to make in
dustrial stabilizaticn agreements
effective.
2. A subsidiary stabilization board
within each major industry.
3. Imposition of two forms of
compulSion for use against recall
citrant units which reject stabili-
zation code agreements.
President Roosevelt expects to
submit the bill to congress early
next week, with an accompanying
1900, 100000 public works program.
The necessity of raising 1920, ,000,-
600 by new taxes annually to amor
tize the public works bonds is the
major point still being discussed.
The President is understood to
lean toward sales tax. He hopes
to determine on definite tax plan
in conferences today and tomorrow.
The national board to be set up
under the industrial control bill
would consist of four cabinet Off
GERS and an executive chairman to
be chosen from non-official life.
The planning boards for each in
dustry would have three members
representing the industry, labor
and the public
Subsidiary boards would be
charged with fostering stabilization
agreements within each industry
to avoid cut-throat competition
and overproduction, to shorten
hours of labor, establish minimum
wages and fix bottom prices above
which there would be q range of
competition.
