LAST STATTOrEN'T With but on more day of show, Burt Roberts, pilot of the motor vehicle fiesta, made this statement last night: "Once more Los Angelas has, through the giving of a show which la the equo)of anything in America outside of New York or Chicago, proved It right to claim western leadership In the motorcar world. "Just as the eyes of the world are centered on this city as a production center for motion picture, or as a Mecca for tourists, so are they upon this truly 'white spot' of automobile sale. The registration of new cars which hav mounted with amazing totals during the last year, and the high per capita percentage of motor-car owning in Southern California, have riven this community a new claim to fame.

The success of the show which ends Sunday night both from the standpoint of sales and attendance, not to mention the artistic finish which has pleased every spectator, demonstrates clearly that this city's show classla stands only behind New York and Chlnar go In point of successful motor-vehicle expositions."

Nov. 1L Th 11.000,000 automobile owner of th United State who hav submitted in th past to th payment of 'a war tax of 6 per cent on passenger car, tires, accessories and parts and I per cent on motor trucks, together with the many thousand of motorcycle owner who have paid a similar tax, will make demand for the removal of this war tax of th next Congress, according to the American Automobile Association, which has launched an active oompalgn against the continuation of what the association terms an unfair tax upon a necessary mean of individual transportation. THE REASONS Th reasons assigned for the demand of the American Automobile Association on behalf of the motorists of the nation are that th tax on motor vehicles, tires, accessories and part is and has been discriminatory and that whatever merit there might have been in the argument that such a tax was necessary as a revenue-producing measure for war purposes has been destroyed by the recent statement of Secretary Mellon of the United States Treasury to the elTect that there will be a surplus between $200,000,000 and (300,000,000.

Th American Automobile Association further points to the recent statement of Secretary Wallace of the United States Department of Agriculture before the Investment Bankers' Association of America to the effect that "The automobile revenues of the gov-, eminent for the last fiscal year ended June 30, 1923, were In round numbers $146,000,000 and the withdrawals from the Treasury for Federal aid highway purposes were approximately $72,000,000, which Indicates clearly that the owners and operators of motor vehicles on our highways axe bearing more than double the entire Federal expenditure for roads."

Thi examina? tion was conducted by leading county highway engineers -of Southern California and representatives of the engineering department of the Auto Club. BADLY CONSTRUCTED Two definite conclusions were reached in this investigation.

First, that improper construction of the foundation of the roadway was the major cause of failure. Second, that heavy truckloads contributed to a marked degree in the of roads that otherwise would have sustained for a much longer time loads. It was apparent, according to the investigators, that weight regulation waa absolutely essential to prevent the complete destruction of the highway system. This conclusion applied not only to State roads, but to county highways and city streets. In the 8300 miles of city streets, only 682 miles are pavement of first class, capable of sustaining heavy loads.

There are 712 mllos of light oil macadam and more than 2000 miles of natural material streets, both of which classes crumble quickly under heavy loads.
