Sales increases for the various
products of Axton-Fisher Tobacco
Company this year have more
than offset a reduction in the
price of one of it's leading brands
of cigarettes, permitting a sub
stantial increase in the profits.
In the first nine months of
1888 the company earned roughly
as much as it did in all 1882, and
earnings have continued to accrue
during the final three months.
Last year Axton-Fisher earned
$1,416,952.
For the current year indications
are that earnings will be not less
than $1,750,00O and possibly even
greater.

NEW YORK, Dec. % G.N.s0.
The stock market moved upward
in light trading today as the
greater part of the tax selling
was apparently taken care of
earlier this week with only cash
sales remaining.
Gains in the pivotal stocks ran
from fractions to more than two
points. Trading was light and
volume fell substantially under
yesterdays total.
Motor Shares Favored
Motor shares were outstanding
faVorites in today's session.
Chrysler ran up more than a

and Auburn gained more than
two points.
General Motors was turned

scored was only fractional.
Gains running to more than 2
points were chalked up in the
specialties. Stocks In this oivi-
sion included Allied Chemical,
Union Carbon, United Carbon,
Celanese and United Aircraft.
The volume of cash sales was
somewhat greater than had been
looked for in brokerage circels.
Rebound in Carriers
New York Central, Atchison
and other rail shares were in
greater demand today and re-
bounded from fractions to more

Washington, D. C., Dec 1-The average motorist paid $44.24 in special federal and state motor tax ex in 1892. or $4.5O more than in 1881, according to an analysis Of motor taxation just completed by the National Taxation Committee of the American Automobile asso- citation.
 The A. A. A. pointed out that the total motor tax bill last year amounted to the tremendous sum of $1,052.625. .078--a new high level in the face of a decline of 1,- 677,224 in the number of motor ve- hicles.
 This tax bill, on the basis of a valuation for all motor vehicle property of $4,543,767,471, means that car owners paid twenty-three per cent of the value of their prop erty in taxes, one of the highest tax rates in any country at any time on a non-luxury comm odity," said Thos. P. Henry of Detroit, Mich president of the national motoring body.
 MT Henry said in part
 "The total tax bill consisted of $973, ,152,919 in state registration and license fees, gasoline and per- sonal property taxes, and $79,472,- 159 in special federal motor excise levies. These federal taxes were imposed under the Revenue Act of 1892, the revenue representing col lections for the last six months of the year.
 "In twenty-four states, the aver age tax per vehicle was in excess of the national average of $44.24. Seven of these states, namely, Ar kansas, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana Mississippi, Nevada and Tennessee, had an average per vehicle tax in excess of $60. In twelve states, the average was above $50. The high est in any one state was $91.05 in Nevada.
 "Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia had an aver age tax per vehicle lower than the national average.
 An analysis of average taxes by geographical areas disclosed that the highest was $56.O6 in the South Atlantic states, and the lowest was $39.51 in the North Central states. The average per vehicle tax fer other geographical areas follows:
 "New England states, $47.84; Middle Atlantic states, $4O.42; South Central states, $49.59; Noun tain states, $45.21, and Pacific states, $42.84.
 "At the present rate of taxation, the owner of the average motor ve- hicle pays 161 per cent of it's aver age value during its life of seven years.
 "In 1880. the average tax per vehicle for the country was $37.72, or $6.52 less than the average of 1892.

Survey Shows Negroes
 Hardest Hit by Slump

Chicago (UP)-Of the vast num- bers-something more than 12,- 0OO,O00-of unemployed who tramp the city streets today in futile search for work, one of every ten is a negro, according to a report issued by the National Urban league, which is directing Q cam paign to aid the negro in obtain ing benefits of the MIRA.
 The report charges the negro receives little attention as part of the social scheme during normal times, but in periods of stress, as the present, he comes prominently to the front because he is less able to withstand the reverses of civili- zation than the white man.
 "In Cook county, Illinois, the burden of public welfare gave re- lief to 19,394 negro families in Chicago in 1892. This number represented 20.6 per cent receiving relief from this agency"
 Material for the report was i gathered by Ira A. Reid, head of the leagues research department, and T. A. Hill, director of indus trial relations for the organization.

Commissioners Warns
 Private Car Owners
Motor Vehicle WOlatOrs to Be Prosecuted - State
 Laws EmphaticaIy Defined

Private car owners have seem- ingly increaseds the practice of seeking passengers for loAg trips and assessing these paying guests so as to defray the costs of the journey. Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the state department of motor vehicles invites the atten- tion of all motor car owners and operators to the following defini- tion under Chapter 147 fthe state motor vehicle laws: 'The term mo- tor vehicle in livery service shall mean and include every motor ve- hicle used for the transportation of passengers for hire ." with the injunction that prosecution awaits violators of the regulation.
 Attention is further invited by Commissioner Connor to the provI- sion under Section 3 of the same chapter. effective January I, 1884, emphasizing that No person, as- sociation or corporation shall oper- ate a motor vehicle in livery ser vice until such person, association or corporation shall have obtained permit from the public utilities commission specifying the nature and extent of the services to be rendered." In conclusion the com missioner points out. the added charge for the operation of mo- tor vehicle for purposes of hire and states an evasion of this fee is made when private car owner solicits paying passengers to ride in his or her car which has been registered for personal use. Special markers are provided for such ve- hicles and the law states the off, cial permit must be conspicuously posted.
 The inspection section of the mo- tor vehicle department is constant ly receiving complaints that un- dertakers here and there about the state employ private cars .n the transportation of mourpers at funerals. Investigations have devel- oped that some of these cars com- plained of were owned and oper- ated by friends of the afflicted

i family and, as a rule, carrying members of the owners family. All l cars in the funeral procession, for whose use the owners are receiving remuneration, must be cars in liv- cry service. Automobiles voluntarily contributed, for whose use the owners receive nothing, do not have to be registered as in livery serv- ice. Many private car owners have found themselves in oifficulties be- cause of letting their cars out to hire and have suffered penalties for their action.
 From time to time advertise ments appear in newspapers of the state advising readers that young man driving to Miami, Florida soon. Can accommodate two pas- sengers. Reasonable" Or else Leaving for California soon. Will take two congenial passengers" Thrifty, car owners may feel they have evolved a great idea when the thought comes to them that car filled to capacity might yield enough revenue to pay the costs of the trip at least, but consideration of the law will show such thrifty ideas have been subjected to re- straining legislation.
 Commuters who travel between home and office by motor. car often take friends along with them some- times at no charge and other times sharing estimated expenses of the trips back and forth. The average person would argue there is no in- tent to profit on the part of the motor car owner or operator; nev- ertheless, he or she is receiving re- muneration for the transportation of the passengers concerned. The legal question has come up in the past on long trips and the opera tor generally has offered the de- fense that his passengers were paying guests" just helping to defray the cost of operation and use of the car. While the official viewpoint depends entirely on a le- gal interpretation of the law there IS no question but what the most innocent car operator leaves him. self open to conflict with the au- thorities by accepting money for rides.
 There are cases where several persons ride back and forth daily with a car owner and, by mutual agreement, take care of the gaso- line and oil supply required for the mileage covered. There are auto mobile vacations on which ex- penses are divided between the car owner and a personal friend or Sunday trips on which the guests pay running costs. These instances might not be prosecuted by the au- thorities even if brought to official attention as the vehicles; strictly speaking, were not flor hire" But there are limitations to the man. ner of an exchange of money be- tween car owners and their pas sengers without the transaction bringing the operator into con- f1ict with the motor vehicle law.
 There must be official supervi- sion of all methods of transporta- tion. for the sake of public safety as well as public revenue. When any transportation service develops revenue to the car owner the state is justified in considering it a gainful purpose and so subject to additional taxation. The wise car owner or operator will refrain from accepting payment for transporta- tion and avoid a violation of the law regulating motor vehicles used for the transportation of passengers for hire."

Public and Private Well fare Units Aid Consider
 ably in Giving Cheer

Thanksgiving day was observed yesterday in Waterbury in fitting manner. All of the city's residents sat down to bountiful feats at .mid- day and, thanks to the efforts of public and private welfare organi- zations, not any of the local needy

The afternoon, for th.. most part, was spent in resting up after the bountiful dinners and to listening to the football games over the radio. The local theaters did a large business yesterday afternoon. also, as well as last evening. Sever al dances and private parties took place last night as part of the Thanksgiving day observance.
 Traffic was very light in the city yesterday. The railroad and bus companies also reported travel light. However, travel on the trains and busses was heavier today as many Waterburians returned to their work out of town after visit ing their relatives over the holi- day.
 Yesterdays weather was ideal in every way. The temperature reached the 70-degree mark, which was exceptional for November 30th. The sun arose early and continued to shine throughout the day. The full moon last night made the eve- ming a delightful one, also.. The warm weather brought automo- piles out in fairly large numbers late yesterday afternoon and the evening traffic was also fairly heavy.
