Broussard Objects to
War Tax on Louisiana Sugar
Washington, June. 2. The senate
finance committee today heard pro
tests on its revision of the house war
tax bill.
Senator Broussard of Louisiana
protested against the decision to levy
a consumption tax of half a cent a
pound on sugar. Although some sen
ators thought the tax would be im
posed only' upon imported sugar,
Chairman Simmons said that the
committee intended to have the tax
apply on all sugar, domestic or im
ported. A new tax of 25 cents per primary
horse power developed from public
waters was suggested to the com
mittee by Senator Bankhead of Ala
bama, who estimated it would raise
$1,500,000 this year and much more
as hydro-electric development pro
ceeds. Another change recommended by
Senator Kellog was to exempt from
taxation income received by corpo
rations from other corporations to
avoid double taxation.

brigade buildings already authorized.
The total sum needed to carry
through the enlarged program at the
higher prices now ruling for materials

for was $.000,000 and this amount
now is well in sight.

The Survival of he Fittest
Ej
BLACK SAFETY TREAD TIRES
VOLUTION climbs on the bones of the weak. Only THE STRONG,
THE BEST, survive the TEST. As true of TIRES as of cave men.
Goodrich Black Safety Treads are the FIT fabric tires that have survived
the relentless TEST of the Goodrich Test Car Fleet.
To produce them hundreds of tires have been worn to the quick over
millions of miles of the worst roads of America.
Goodrich never sells you an experiment Be it a Goodrich rubber mat, a garden
hose, or a Goodrich tire, it must prove itself by wear and tear test worthy of the
; Goodrich name. :
A cruel test of tires that test of Goodrich's Test Car Fleets.
Tested The Country Over
Six corps of heavy cars, light cars, hard running cars take Goodrich Tires and maul
.their MERIT against teeth of sand, rock, and gravel. Two sets of drivers, speeding
them sixteen hours a day, hammer them week after week on the anvil of the road.
Wherever climate and roads can test and tell something about tires, a Goodrich Test
Car Fleet is grinding the TRUTH out of Goodrich tires.
While the Atlantic Fleet crunches through the hills and valleys of New York
and New England, the Pacific Fleet hammers the granite highways of the
Western coasts
While the Dixie Fleet braves the sun of the South, the Lake Fleet ploughs the
sand stretches of Minnesota.
While the Prairie Fleet scours the roads around Kansas City, the Mountain
Fleet battles the rocky trails of Yellowstone and Glacier Parks.
Throughout miles of roughing it, which run into millions, , over roads which cross-hatch
the map of the United States, Goodrich learns the TESTED VIRTUES of its tires.
Thus it settles the durability and resilience of the UNIT MOLDED TIRE the unbroken
curing Goodrich has always maintained was the BEST construction for fabric tires.
Thus it settles the wearing strength of Black Tread, the toughest rubber known.
ALL THIS IS THE BEST IN TIRES BECAUSE IT HAS SURVIVED THE TEST.
