The committee, which Mr. Meix- ell represents. includea delegates from motor user, dealer and manu facturer organizations. This body has been working to determine a set of principles which would clarify the complex problems. cf highway tax+ tion. The speaker advocated that the cost of highways’ should be borne by two groups first, by society-as-a whole, which benefits from the gen- era! economic value of improved highways and second, by the motor vehicle owners and urers who bene fit ticularly. He advocated, as nting the committee. that so: whole should pay general taxes for the capital cost of improv; ed highways and that the motor ve hic'e be called upon to pay spec'a taxes to maintain them. Important Methoés in Taxation Plan. Proceeding on this theory, the mo- tor vehicle conference commitee has worked out a set of principles for the special taxation of the motor ve- ‘gle, which include the following roints: The state should be the'sole spe cial taxation agency. There should be but one form of epec’al taxation of the motor ve hicle. The amount of special taxes on motor vehicles should be limited to the sum required for adniinistration of the state mvior vebic'e depart: ment and the mr nee of im proved highways in the state. No special motor vehicle tax funds should bé spent for maintenance of h’ghways unless there are located where the highway needs of the state require it and are built of ma- terials, and in a manner to meet these needs. The taxes shoutd be raise¢ in 9 manner which most equitably dis tributes the burden in various classes of vehicles and the unit» within each class. Money raised by such taxes should be pieced in the state motor vehicie Nivlway “Maintedanss fend and ve yep by the state or under state su nm on the improved highways order of x frsportance ana in secordance with their ‘mainten- ance necds.

In the elght years since then numerous refine ments have been made in its manu facture, and it is in every way a superior article. We all know of course that costs on material and labor have simply soared. “Yet the first Super-S'x phaeton was vriced at $1,375—which is $80 more than the list price of the pres- ent Hudson speedster at $1,295. “Th's is just another incident that goes to prove that it is volume that makes prices in the automobile world. Every time that Hudson has attained a new height of volume it has been able to afford its owners better values at lower prices—and also every time it has lowered it has made the Super-Six a possibility ito a new army of buyers. That Is the history of the price movement which has now brought about a H Super-Six listed at less than must not overlook the tnflu- jenee of weather on the automobile business, in forecasting any possible rend of the market.

Slanting windshield and one-man top lend material aid in giving the entire car a lower, more stylish appearance. An apron connecting the radiator with the fender skirts is also a decided improvement. A comfort feature much appreciated by owners, is the additional leg room provided by the enlargement of the cowl.

COMPARE The Maximum of Proved V Intrinsic Value GOmany announcementsof newmodelcarscon- tain extravagant claims for the same superi- orities that it is puzzling to the buyer to know which value is real and which is only a claim. This year the issue has been confused by the introduction of mechanical changes, some of which have been rushed into production while still in the experimental stage—and then imme- diately given wide publicity. Important considerations have been over- looked and great stress placed upon unimportant details. But the man who intends to buy a motor car need not let this confusion or this glamour of publicity lead him to make a mistake or risk satisfaction in his purchase. The automobiles themselves are available for comparison. See and be convinced. Riding is believing. As an aid to intelligent buying we offer the following suggestions: Place the 1924 model Studebaker Light-Six Touring Car at $995 alongside any car you may select as belonging in the same class. Every car looks well in the pictures—most cars make a godd impression in their own show windows. The Studebaker Light-Six looks a winner along- side the best-looking competitor you can find. And it's larger, more substantial, roomier, more comfortable looking—and is more comfortable. Compare the top. Look inside and out. The Studebaker top is sturdily built. Has four stout cross bows. Top material is same as is 80 satis- factorily used in the Big-Six. Notice the fit, feel the quality. The rear curtain is one-piece— has no seame—with a large rectangular window bound by an enameled moulding. Compare the body. Studebaker has a roomy, substantial, carefully made body—all-steel even to its framework, which permits a finish in baked enamel. A depressed belt runs around the body and through the hood and radiator, adding to its distinctive appearance. Compare the one-piece, rain-proof wind shield, with built-in cowl lamps, with the ordi. nary two-piece windshield with rubber strip Many Extravagant Claims of Superiority that leaks in every rain and always obstructs the driver’s vision. Notice the large cowl ven- tilator that is quickly operated by merely moving the regulator backward or forward. Compare the Studebaker door trimmings and fittings with the door fittings of other cars. Notice that the door pocket flaps have weights to hold them in position. Man-sized d handles and latches, positive-action door locks that catch with a snap and stay closed. Heavy hinges properly located and propartioned. Highest grade trimming material instead of painted cardboard. Fastening nails concealed. the aluminum-bound linoleum that is neatly fitted and fastened to the floor boards of this $995 Studebaker Light-Six with the rubber mats that cover the cheap, loosely-fitted floor boards in many other cars. Compare the cheap robe rail (sometimes hemp rope covered with imitation leather) with the Studebaker nickel-plated rail. Compare the forty-cent footrest with the comfortable, carpet- covered footrest, supported by polished alumi- num brackets, in the Studebaker. ‘These comparisons are of features that can be seen. There are many more down under the surface that could be mentioned, such as the machining of all surfaces of the crankshaft and connecting rods of the Light-Six motor. This is largely responsible for the practical absence of vibration in the Studebaker Light-Six. This is an exclusive Studebaker practice on cars at this price. If competition is so far inferior in its visible parts, it is a certainty that the hidden parts which really determine the satisfaction of a car will be equally inferior. The Studebaker chassis is as far superior to any other motor car chassis in its price field as Studebaker upholstery is to other upholstery, as the Studebaker body is to any other motor car body in its price field. Come in and see the Light-Six. Test its performance and comfort yourself. Again— Riding is believing.
