The animal was exercised at the Exeter track by Clarence Young the accident happened. Young had taken the should be. Certainly in its price than any other article sold. Cigarettes probably come next. Third in the most-taxed list, by my way of figur­ ing, is the automobile. > Sounds pretty silly, doesn’t it. Whiskey, cigarettes and cars, the three “luxuries” that everybody slaps taxes on because they’re handy, and all around us and easy to keep track of. The price tag of a new car includes two big chunks of tax that have been collected at the factory, the 10 per cent sales tax and the 15 per cent excise tax—the “luxury” tax. One of the big Canadian car manufacturers paid out $57 million in wages last year. It paid almost as much — $54 million — in sales and excise taxes. All the corporation, taxes, real estate taxes and everything else were piled on after that. Those who know about such things say 40 per cent of the price of a new car is made up of taxes. There are taxes on almost everything else we buy and there’s no reason why automobiles shouldn’t have taxes on them too. But why luxury taxes? There are lots of figures to show that most people don’t use their cars as a luxury •— one survey showed 84 per cent of all the miles driven by motor cars are for some essential purpose. We don’t need any involved figures to prove this to us. We know from the people who come to our lot that most of them need a car to get to work or to save time or to make the whole business of living that much easier. They need the economical transportation a good used car can give. We’ve staked our future on providing that transportation with clean, sound, carefully-inspected cars. One of the strangest stories in the strange history of motor cars is oi tap next week. being race when horse from the barn with the hobbles oq. The horse reared up and fell over on its back. Two veterinar­ ians were called and both decid­ ed that the animal had a broken back and had to be destroyed. The owner of the horse is at present racing in- the United States.
