This team although considered better than several of the. teams entered, was expected to take the count in file second round, at the hands of Decatur, while Deca titr was expected to win the tournament. Geneva also deserves much credit for the showing made. Both KirklaSd and Geneva are handicapped through the lack of a gmnasium. Kirk land is better off than Geneva, as they have the use of the old high tsehool gymnasium in this city once or twice a week, while Geneva merely has two baskets erected in an old barn where they practice goal shooting. Following the close of the tourna ment. the two officials. Wayne Gif and Ralph W!lliiuns. selected a mythical alldistrict team. Pennville placed thre players oh the team; Decatur ami Dunkirk two each, and Kirkland one. Contrary to.the usual custom, the officials did not select the player showing the best mental attitude in tournament, did not select a second, team, and give honorable mention to , any players. Captain Deane Dor win and ‘‘Dizzy" Steele were the two Ih-attir players named on the all-district team. Both players failed to play up to their usual standard during the tournament.Jnit each displayed a brand of play which ranked them among the best. •'Bud ■ White also played g<»od during the tourney and should be ranked among ] the leaders.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, MARCH 3,1921.

— AUTO OWNERS URGED TO SIGN PETITION ASKING FOR REPEAL OF AUTO WAR TAXES I (This petition laaued by THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT in conjunction with the HOOSIER STATE AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION, the Indiana organization of automobile owners.) TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The undersigned, a citizen and an automobile owner and user of Indiana, respectfully urges that your honorable body give earnest consideration looking to the relief from burdensome Federal taxes on automobiles, tires, accessories and spare parts. I hold the motor vehicle essential to the business life of our Nation. 1 believe the tax on repair parts to be totally a tax on misfortune. Farmprs now laboring under the. handicap of low crop prices and heavy local taxes, are also compelled to pay the Federal excise tax on automobiles and they are among the largest users of motor vehicles. With millions of taxation already lifted from luxuries. I maintain that the highly essential motor vehicle Is entitled to Immediate relief. I urge your consideration to tlie array of facts and argument being presented to your honorable body through the HOOSIER STATE AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION and the NATIONAL MOTORISTS ASSOCIATION, representing the organized automobile owners of ludiana and the Nation. (Signed) t 1 am a Legal yoter atlndiana

Automobile owners who are read- - ers of the Daily Democrat, are today < presented with an opportunity of expressing to congress their wishes relative to a reduction or removal of the ' federal excise bix of 5% on automobiles, 3% on trucks, and 5% on tires. icccssork'H and repair part'J, through i the eo-operagion of the Hosoler State i Automobile Association and the Na'ional Motorists Association, which present the above brief form of petition. The Hoosier Association urges that the owners of Indiana shoultl i ■d.tn the above petition and send it in to their congressman without delay. >r write a letter of their own to their I congressman along similar lines. The assmiation (loclares that inasmuch as chewing gum. toilet articles, nt rfumcry. etc., have been relieved' i from federal taxation, no such gener- < illy recognized essential as the motor vehicle should continue to bear the : h< avy federal war taxes and imints

out that only through this sort of cooperation will motorists of Indiana and the nation bo able to convince congress that relief is now essential. The association points out that whereas automobile war taxes to the amount of 5H9 billions were collected during the 1917-1923 period, the expenditures for Federal highway work In that period amounted to only 265 billions, or 45 per cent of the sum collected from automobiles. “The farmer is bearing a tremendous share of this burden, added to his lo<al tax bnrdens and low crop prices,” the as sociation says. “In this anil all other matters affecting the ownership and operation of motor vehicles, co-oper-ation and organized effort are necessary to get resulti," the association declares, and adds: “This is one reason why we are continually appealing to the motorist of Indiana to affiliate and assist in the work our organiza tlon is carrying on for them.”
