MOTORISTS TO OPEN FI6HT ON HEAVYTAXES Hoosiers Organize to Seek Levy Reductions at General Assembly. Todd Stoops, secretary and manager of the Hoosier Motor Club, today announced that organized motorist* In Indiana will make a fight before the next General Assembly for elimination of tax burdens now imposed on auto owners and drivers. The target of the motorists’ fire will be some of the items in Stale and Federal taxes that add up to $33.78. which anew motorist must pay to drive legally in the state, he said. “Taxed on to the new car,” he aaid, “is a bill from the Federal Government, which is passed from the dealer to the purchaser, as follows: Federal excise, $12.13; Federal processing. $1.50; Federal tire, $2.15, and Federal gas and oil, 34 cents, fen- a total of $16.12. “And the automobile dealer pases on to the purchaser the state sales tax. amounting to about $7.16, making a total tax bill from the dealer of $23 28. “The pew owner then will find thrre is a certificate of title to buy for 50 cents. The automobile must be registered, which will cost about $9. With the license plates the motorist receives a registration receipt which must be signed and placed in a metal container purchased from the state for 50 cents. "Then he is ready to drive if he can purchase a driver's license. To do this he must be sane, sober, physically fit and otherwise qualified. If he can qualify he will get his driver’s license if he can show his poll tax receipt. The driver’s license must be carried at all times while driving. “After all taxes and fees have been paid and the plates, receipts and certificates have been stowed away in the proper places our new motoring enthusiast is ready for the streets and highways. But as long as he driver he will continue to pay taxes at every filling station, garage and battery shop and accessory store. “The continuing taxes will be federal taxes on parts and accessories; gasoline and oil, one cent a gallon on gasoline and four cents a gallon on oil. The state taxes will be four cents a gallon on gasoline, sales tax on gasoline, oil and accessories, a property tax, and a state crfl inspection fee which is a relic of the kcrosent lamp days.” DECREASE IS NOTED IN FAKE BILL PASSING Recent Roundup of Counterfeiters Responsible, Agents Think. Less counterfeit money is tumigg up in the Indianapolis area during the present holiday season than in any December for several years. Ordinarily the gangs who pass bogus money are most active at this time, according to secret service operatives. Between S4OO and SSOO in bogus currency is the average “take” in Indianapolis each month. Operatives feel that the decrease at this time is due to the fact that many passers have been arrested here in the last three months.

New Book Deals With American Intolerance Quakers Among First to Feel Lash of Bigotry, Everett R. Clinchy Recalls.

BY JOHN W. THOMPSON '’T'VALES of a “reign of terror’’ which has intermittently smitten the “land of the free,” and which has helped to build “the home of tl*e brave,” form the backbone upon which Everett R. Clinchy has writtdh an unostentatious yet interesting book called “All in the Name of God.” This trail of primitive practice in the persecution of religious beliefs has splotched a red path down through the annals of American history although text-books devote little spare and less importance to the relation of such stories.

Mr. Clinchy has probed into the recesses of the past and has not only brought forth the proverbial skeletons from the family closet but has picked the bones clean to find the real basis for these petty differences, in “a vigorous plea to end racial and religious prejudice.” In a simple, graphic style Mr. Clinchy tells of many of the punishments inflicted upon those who believed differently than the luass of the early American settlers. He relates the experience of one Robert Hodgson, a Quaker, who in the 1650 s was ordered to appear before Governor Peter Stuyvesant of New Amsterdam, because the summoned man had been caught preaching at Hempstead. The Governor sentenced him to two years at hard labor, and the Quaker refused either to labor or to pay a fine. a a a “ A CCORDINGLY, chained to a xYwheelbarrow, he was beaten with a rope until he fell. This procedure was repeated three days in succession. And then for speaking when he had been commanded to be silent, the recusant Quaker was hung from the ceiling by his hands, with a log of wood tied to his feet, and was beaten on his bare back with rods.” Quakers were not the only ones to be persecuted in such manner. Jews, Catholics and Protestants of various denominations suffered alike in the pursuance of their beliefs. But the new world, with its quickly formed cliques of religious faiths, became a testing and proving ground for these infant religions and the bravest ones stood the test of time and tribulation. Mr. Clinchy has admirably pointed out in his book the ironical fact that here in America, a country founded for the very purpose of religious freedom, persecution has occurred which rivals even the bloody days of the Inquisition. He tells, in concise terms of the battle for liberalism, the establishment of legal liberty, of the

entrance of prejudice into politics, and of the activities of the secretive Know-Nothing movemovement. The Klan and the American Protective Association form the background for other chapters of the book along with the rise of Anti-Semitism in America.

OLD-FASHIONED GIRL • HOLDS ENGAGEMENT SACRED, WINS SISOO • iy I nitrd Press WAUKESHAW, Wis., Dec. 14.

Martha Neltzel told the court that she started her “hope chest” when Peter gave her an engagement ring. Peter married another girl. “In the cities nowadays engagements probably don’t mean much,” * said Martha’s attorney, “but Martha is a country girl.” TOURIST TRAFFIdN CANADA IS INCREASED 25 to 50 Per Cent Rise Is Attributed • to Improved Conditions.
