Auto

Motoring Body Girds
for Drive TO Repeal
S. Auto Use Tax
By SILER FREEMAN

As time draws near for the
first portion of the SIS use tax on
automobiles by the federal gov
eminent under the new tax bill,
the American Automobile ASso-
citation girdS for an offensive TO
Obtain the immediate repeal OF
the tax.
The AAA convention, recently
held at White Sulphur Springs,
w. Va, ordered the drive against
this levy and authorized the ma
tional motoring body 10 get busy
on it at once.
In this they have the support
of almost all the dealers in the
country, as we'll as most of the
auto owners. The So tass, --s1.v
not so heavy in itself, is seen as
an entering wedge for more bur-
dcnsome ones TO come.
"Our association has with
drawn active public opposition to
the principle of federal taxation
of the motor vehicle" said
Thomas p. Henry. Detroit, presi-
dent of the AAA. but ut the
same time the motor club dele
gates felt that we should not be
called upon tn submit to tax as
unfair. negotiable, unscientific
and unjustifiable as this sO-called
use tax. Accordingly, a resolu-
ton was adopted calling for its
immediate repeal"
