MOTORIST HIT
BY NEW TAXES
Is Contributing Heavily To
Cost of State and Federal
Government
PAYS TOTAL S1,50O,OOO,OOO

Washington.-A heavy share Of
federal, state, and municipal gov
ernment costs is being borne by au-
tomobile owners throughout the
United States as the result Of new
taxes enacted during the past two
years.
Revenue of more than S250,0OO-
900 was expected to accrue to the
United States government through
the excise tax passed by congress
at its last session and which levies
on gasoline, oil, tires, and all ac-
cessories.
States and municipalities also
have tapped new fountains Of in
come by levying upon motor ve-
hcle owners. In the II years from
1919 to 1881 state license and gaso-
line taxes alone have risen from
$8.6S to $34.1O per capita, an in
crease Of 292 per cent.
The tax bill which Mr.. Car Owner
in the United States paid during
1882 is estimated at the stupendous
total Of S1,5OOOOOOOO, this figure
including the new federal tax and
the state and local increases. In
license fees, gasoline taxes, mu-
nicipal and personal property taxes
on motor vehicles during 1881 the
motorist paid a national total Of
$1,O25, 100000.
One-tenth of the entire United
States tax bill was the amount paid
by motor car owners during 1881
through license fees, gasoline taxes,
and personal property taxes on We
hicles. The percentage is expected
to be higher when the figures for
1892 are available.
From figures obtained from all
parts Of the country it appears that
raising the tax on gasoline has
been a favorite means Of provid-
ing new revenue for states. In
some states this levy has been
pyramided to the point where the
gasoline tax amounts to IL cents a
gallon.
While the old-time toll houses
that once lined the nations princi-
pal highways as a means of collect
ing enough money to pay for the
roads and keep them in repair have
passed into history, the modern gas
oline filling station, according 70
leaders of the automotive industry,
has just about taken the place of
the toll house.
Gasoline filling stations today are
toll collecting agencies for federal,
state, and, In many cases, for coun-
ty and city governments. On a
basic tax of cents a gallon, a light
passenger car consuming one gal
Ion of gasoline each 20 miles pays
a road toll tax of $50 for every
20 0O0 miles

STATUE AT EXPOSITION
Carl Miles, Sweden, Completes Fig

Carl Miles, of Stockholm, Swed-

greatest living sculptors and by
some as the greatest master of
modern sculpture, has completed a
statue which will be placed in the
Entrance Salon of the General Mo
tors Building at the Century of

Chicago, May 27. The figure which
is symbolic of precision craftsman
ship is sixteen feet high, stands on
pedestal, nine feet high, the whole
rising twenty-five feet from the
Entrance Salon floor. The figure
represents the skilled workman
holding an automobile engine con-
Meeting rod aloft at an angle at
which he can look through the bear
ing aperture toward the light. The
statue was modelled by Miles at
the Cranbrook Academy Of Art at
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, suburb
of Detroit, where he has his Amer
ican studios (and temporarily is
conducting a lecture course).
Among the wealth of art objects
by American and foreign masters
