[ CONSIDERS GAS | TAX LEGISLATION £«cy* Meixell Has Investigated Report and Recommendations Membership No. 65S4 "Shall the nex* New Jersey Leg- &.'/ isiature tax gii « consumed by |r> p-.cior- vehicles'?" i> the -estion which according to - George Pod- « x-k» president of the Good Roads* fi Association of New Jersey, will be 1 discussed at the Saturday morning ion of the organization's Good; Eoads* Convention, to be held in; Atlantic City at the Hotel Dennis' from Friday noon of December 7th « to Saturday noon of December 8th. According to Mr. Paddock, thirty-five state* now tax gasoLine 3 _ to raise money for highway purposes. In thirty-three of these .• Uitcs the motor fuel levies are in irddition to annual registration and cenae fees, while in the other two, ■»— Maryland and California, the gaso:;ne taxes are in lieu of other spelt cial imposts.

It was further stated by Mr. L Paoti-ck that Mr. Harry Meixell, secretary of the association, had investigated the gasoline tax move.inent with particular reference to its application to New Jersey, and Jiad Emitted to the trustees a re- , port and recommendations which will be laid before the convention. This report points out that in New Jersey motor vehicles are subjected to a personal property or general taxes amounting to approximately ISJXXMXXh for the cur-

rent year and registration and license fees or special taxes estimated at fully $7,500,000. While the motor vehicle owners are thus paying $10,500,000 In gen-| •ral and special taxes combined, the State, its counties and munici-i polities are estimated to be spending fully $35,000,000 for roads, j streets and bridges for motor vehicles to operate upon. Secretary's Meixell's report sh.-'.vs that the gasoline tax movement is inspired by a school of) thought which contends that property, real and personal, should be relieved from all or a major portion of the taxes for Highway construction and maintenance collected exclusively from tho motor vehicles in the shape of special taxes, such as annual registrations, fees, gasoline taxes, etc. Mr. Paddock stated that the secretary's .report to the trustees held the position that general taxes paid : by motor vehicle owners, as well as ; by non-owners, should meet the 'capital outlays required to build roads, and that the special taxes, such as registration and license fees should be used exclusively for maintaining the improved highways and their size be measured by such requirements. The. report insists that the pres-

' ent registration and license fees levied in New Jersey are adequate to discharge this obligation and that the addition of a motor -fuel tax is therefore unnecessar yand unfair.

Ybu As*© invited To Try the New Traffic Transmission a

This is Traffic Transmission Week the country over. We have made special preparations to demonstrate the biggest automobile development since the selfstarter. Come prepared to drive a car in which you can change speeds instantly and silently on the steepest hills or in the tightest traffic pocket. There is nothing new to learn. You will find the familiar gear lever at your right hand. You will make exactly the same hand and foot movements to effect a speed change. There will be no "high pressure" sales solicitation. Our sole desire is to have every motorist appreciate, first, the possibilities of this new Chandler feature; and second, the performance mastery of the Pikes Peak Motor For the first time, a truly great power {slant is available in a handsome, ong-lived car of moderate price I

A powerful foot brake controls the rear wheels; an automatically equalized emergency operates through the propeller shaft; and the Traffic Transmission makes the braking effort of the engine instantly available by a split second change to a lower gear. An Achievement Hie development of the Traffic Transmission, the Pikes Peak Motor, in fact, the entire 1924 car with its powerful brakes, indestructible rear axle, facile steering, up-to-date bodies by Fisher and low prices, was possible only to a great organization like The Chandler Motor Car Company. Advanced manufacturing skill, advantageous plant location, complete factory equipment, strongly secured financial position, and permanent executive direction all had to be present in preeminent degree. Rememberl This is Traffic Transmission Week! Come in! Telephone ! Make the test that tells all — drive the 1924 Chandler yourself!
