The special war tax on automobiles
and motorcycles went into effect Sat
urday amid protests from all parts
of the country. The new law com
pels manufacturers to pay a 3 per cent
tax on the value of each finished cat
The manufacturers have promptly
raised the price of their product and
this makes it necessary for the local
dealer to raise the price or sacrifice
part of .he profit. ForJ dealers
throtiRhout the country have been
notified of an advance in price as have
local agents for other brands of auto
mobiles. Members of congress have received
numberless letters and telegrams
form their constituents protesting
that the new tax is unfair.
One member of congress admitted
that he had received over 600 letters
and telegrams protes'ng against the
tax. Aiany ot inese onjecnont nave
come from farmers who claim that
their cars are a necessity and not a
luxury as congress classed them when
the law was passed. The farmer
now own 70 per cent of the automo
biles in the country. There will be
no tax on cara now in use.
"Twentieth Century Maids"

"He's a fine automobile."
"Don't say 'he' whfcn speaking of an
automobile; you should say 'she.'
"But this is not a 'runabout.'"
That is one of the quips heard on
the stage of the Gayety theater during
the action of "The Twentieth Cen

show which opened yesterday for a
week'a engagement. '
The characters of this production
are senator's valet, detective, woman
reporter, adventuress, society leader,
diplomat, daacing masker. Japanese
potentate and Box Car Bennie, the

by Jim Barton, the piece de resis'tance

Nctr has the state been organized
for any action as it has for thv drive
for the second Liberty loan bonds,
In every county, in every town
ship and in every precinc com
mitteemen have been appointed, find
the best j art of it is. that these com
mitteemen have taken hold of the
work with an eagerness that spells
success!
Without intensive organization in
the last drive. Nebraska boosted its
quota allotment more than $2,000,000
with the intensive organization ef
fected through the state committee,
of which T. C. Byrne is chairman, it
would tot be surprising to see the
present allotment of about $30,CJ0,00O
doubled.
Enthusiasm of the keenest sort pre
vails ut all the meetings, no matter
whether It be a meeting of state com
mittees, state chairmen or local com
mitteemen. The patriotism displayed
at the meeting of the advisory com
mittee of S00. held Friday, was of the
type that la indicative of the general
sentiment throughout tne state
"Nebraska will be in the front
ranks." saya State Chairman Byrne.
"I have never seen such response to
an appeal. The American people are
awkening to the task they have be
fore them. And it is no small task
But they are responsive and onre the
American people are aroused there is
no limit for them.
"In Nebraska, wheh I iudite typical.
there is bnt one answer Nebraska's
quota many fold. The county and dis
trict chairmen are getting well or
ganized for the big drive. In many
instances, the organizations are com
pleted and all is- ready for the big
bell."
"What about the districts that have
not organized?" Mr. Byrne was asked
Districts Hard at Work.
"There are some districts that have
been slow rn organizing," he replied.
"But they are coming through In nice
shape. The delay has been caused
by local conditions which are rapidly

New Motorist Drives Car
into Garage and cn Through
James Richardso S3S South Thirty-fifth
avenue, was aroused from his
quiet eveni.ig hour by noises in his
garage, reminding him of Verdun and
Vimy ridse. '
He hurried to the scene of the
sound wave and discovered that an
automobile owner to whom he had
rented his garage had driven through
the building.
The new motorist had become con
fused and did not check the machine
before it struck the rear wall of the
garage. T.ie rar was not damaged,
but the garage had a broken-down
appearance.
"It was tne first time t'..e automo
bile owner had been out with his
new cir and 1 am not going to tell
who he was," was the manner in
which "Jimmy" demonstrated that he
can keep a secret.
