None, however, approacues t..e barefaced impudence of the man who, a few night ago, stepped into Harney i Oldrteld's famous pet Maxwell touring ■ car ana drove it away into oblivion. 1 That any of the motor brlg:ind91 should deem it possible to purloin Bar ney's car and get away with it, stag gers the imagination of the local cafe | proprietor and his friends. That the ; attempt could be made successfully is indeed a blow. Barney's car Is probably the best known motor vehicle In Los Angeles. On it the dean of the circuit chasers ; has lavished several varieties of spe- j cial finish and personal equipment. With characteristic speed demon mod- j esty, he has decorated it freely with signs and legends. "Barney Oldtield, Ouicial Car," appears on each side in chaste gold lettering. Such was the car the bold thief calm ly picked for booty and "lifted." Oldtield himself is heartbroken over' the apparent loss of his cherished per sonal chariot. He insists hopefully, however, that the car cannot be long hidden and that, despite the great army of Maxwells In Southern California, he himself would be able to pick out his property, not matter how thorough an effort had been made to disguise It. Dire punishment is also in store for the robber. It may even take the form of personal violence. "Why just think!" comments the veteran, "I bought that car in K1 Paso, early in the Spring. It's been as far east as Now York, as far into the North west as Tacoma and it's stopped off in i most points In between. It's been ten- i der for my race cars at every big race track in the country and It's carried ' me around every day it wasn't enroute i by rail. "I've paid around $2,000 in express I and freight charge for it. 1 just love that automobile. Why Mrs. Oldtield wanted me to trade it in as part pay ment for a 1916 Maxwell with winter top. I wouldn't do it. I bought her the car she wanted and kept my own. Now It's gone." Barney is having Maxwell dealers all over the West notified of the loss of the car and will offer a reward for infor mation leading to its return, if it does not turn up In a few days more. Jewett Cites Injustice of Proposed Auto Tax Reports from Washington, D. C„ In dicate that the administration is tak ing a second thought on the proposed tax on automobiles and gasoline; and that this particular revenue measure maye be abandoned. The proposition met with immediate and unmistakable opposition and the capital has been deluged with protests from the folks "back home." Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company, re cently summed up the situation effec tively in a newspaper interview. Mr. Jewett said: "The American public will not stand for any such unfairness as the pro posed taxes on automobiles and gaso line. The administration will see that the people will rise up against this imposition, in an unmistakable way. I "As long as they thought down I there that they were going to make Michigan pay the taxes, the other fellows laugned up their sleeves. They didn't care how much Michigan ob jected so long as they got away with it. But their proposition is not con fined to Michigan. It will reach to every nook and corner of the land, just as the automobile reaches, and congressmen from other States will hear from their people fast enough as soon as the people realize what this means. "This proposed tax has been talked over in the automobile industry for some time, as we knew that it was coming. Naturally, the automobile men look upon it as a direct slap at the industry itself. But they were fig uring down in Washington that Michi gan, with 85 per cent, of the automo bile production, would be the State that would have to foot the bills and that it was merely a case of soaking Michigan. "They didn't stop to think that in every corner of the United States peo ple are using and making money out of automobiles. There are garages and workshops everywhere that come in on some angle of the industry, or in the manufacture of accessories even down to the making of goggles, cloth and leather upholstering and other things. None of these people want the automobile business singled out for the imposition of unfair taxes that will injure it. "People who own cars now are pay ing personal taxes, license taxes, horsepower taxes, good roads taxes and others. Now an additional tax is proposed to be levied on them with a gasoline tax on top of it. The users of cars will feel a 50-cent horsepower tax and a raise of one cent in gasoline prices, and thev will feel it every where. especially the users of small cars who can ill afford such additional MR.

"President Wilson may still have the notion that the automobile is a. luxury and that there is a prejudice against it such as there was when it first appeared and frightened other people's horses. But if he has that notion, he's mistaken. The automo bile is no mor° a luxury now than the telephone or the telegraph, and the prejudice has entirely disappeared. The tax would be an imposition on everybody and is not an equitable tax anyway, when placed on horsepower, for it hits the user of the small-priced car harder than anyone else. "Michigan would have to pay good ' and hard uneer such a tax, but others. all over the country would be imposed I upon. too. I believe that the congress-j men down in Washington will begin ■ to hear from their districts soon in a I way that will make them sit up and | take notice. The public simply won't ( stand for It and when It begins to rise i up, Washington will be deluged with its protests." National Highway Models Up to Factory Capacity National "Highway" cars continue J to grip the enthusiastic patronage of ■ motorists throughout the country. It is not often that any new model of car has enjoyed a spurt of business so long maintained. This model intro duced last June, continues to sell as though It were new on the market. | The passing of the summer rush! season has not had the least effect of' ! diminishing sales. Ordinarily factor-j | ieß expect a littie "let up" along about, 'the last of October. But this year the | first Indications of any "let-up" in Na tional sales have failed to arrive. For | the first two weeks in November orders have actually increased rather than shown any symptom of diminishing. | "We are selling Nationals and we ] are delivering them," comments Geo. •M. Dickson, general manager of the j National factory at Indianapolis. "The difficulties of delivery that we encoun tered in August have been nearly over come by the big production of our fatcory, which has been working over-1 time practically every day of the week for several months. The first wing of the new addition to the factory is al most ready to use. The second wing 1 should be completed in four to five 1 weeks. These new buildings will I greatly facilitate tour making more | prompt deliveries. Not the least inter esting feature about this rush of busi ness Is the kind of users to know our cars are going. It is not only to per sons of means to now welcome the opportunity to secure a National at the lower cost." "Many wealthy motorists experi enced in automobile construction are buying National cars because they, lind in them certain elements not to | be obtained elsewhere." , Last week a National was sold to a man who has had an even dozen cars of other makes, including several high priced tvpes. He tried out a National in a severe demonstration and bought It because it did things his judgment exacted of a car. In still another case a National Highway was sold to a man In whose family there has been in the last ten days over twenty cars of various types, sized and priced. This man bought a Highway because he could apply it to any use. It had all the power and speed he could ever desire, its distinctive appearance took I him out of the general run of cars, lit is so constructed that there is as I much comfort in tht back seat as in i the front seat. Its sturdy construction j 'insures economical operation and It | can readily be driven by the womei\ I members of the family." Parade of Dodge Car Owners Makes Big Hit I All Boston Is still talking about the I big parade staged in the Hub by the | Henshaw Motor Company to celebrate I the anniversary of the arrival of the ' first Dodge Brothers motorcar In I Boston. More than one hundred Dodge Brothers cars, driven by their owners, took part in the parade which formed a feature of the occasion and there were many strikingly unique and beau tiful decorated cars. The first prize ] | was won by a mlnature submarine | ' mounted on a chassis and named j ! "Preparedness." I Many other prizes were awarded and : | the parade was reviewed by Mayor I Curley. All Boston turned out to see the line of cars and motion pictures of the parade were shown In the af ternoon at one of the theaters, those who participated being the guests of Mr. Henshaw at the theater.
