TAX HIJACKING
Rocksprings Record: The fram-
ers of the Constitution never in-
tended that any man should be re-
quired to pay more than one tax on
any piece of property Vet every
automobile owner in the State of
Texas is paying more different
kinds of taxes on his automobile
than mi any other piece of property
he might [losses.*
Car owners are aware of this
situation, but the majority have
never given concentrated thought
to the question. They go ahead ana
pay the various taxes, and never a
word is said about the rank in-
justice of it all Ie addition to t^*
taxes, they have other incidental
tees ami charges which they must
pay before they can begin to enjoy
the use of their car. all of which
combined, in some cases, is more
than the total cost of all other
taxes they sre required to pay
The many taxes assessed against
the car owner are a hang-over
tmm the days when the automobile
was considered a luxury, and no
provision has been made for the
transition of the car from thelux-
ury class to that of an absolute
necessity Vet. in spite of the fact
that the automobile is a necessity,
especially in business, taxes are re-
quired ot the car owner a- if the
vehicle was still a luxurv
Life would he dull if we knew
hat it was all about.

case is five feet high and is com-
posed of over seven thousand piec-
es of human bones. The dial is the
top of a skull, the numerals are
human teeth and the hands are
little finger bones of an infant.
On a small platform before the
dial is a heap of miniature bones
and skulls strung on fine wires.
At the stroke of one. a part of the
bones spring up and form a com-
plete skeleton six inches tali which
advances and strikes a bronze
gong; at two o’clock two skele-
tons arise, and so on until at
twelve all twelve skeletons arise
and each strikes the gong once.
The movement was originally of
bone but has now been replaced.

Why Should
We Change?
THERE BEING A CHANGE IN THE TEMPERA-
TURE THERE SHOULD BE A CHANGE IN THE
GARMENTS THAT WE WEAR.
If we were living in the miraculous age and could
wear our clothing 40 years as the children of Israel did
in the wilderness, it would be just too bad for the mer-
chants.
But as we live in the land of free and the home of the
brave we can do as we please and change as often as we
please providing we have the change. If not. come and
let us fit you out.

Every purchaser of
a new Ford is enti-
tled to this Free In-
spection Service
!
The modern automobile i, a finely
built piece of machinery and it
will stand a lot of abuse. Consid-
ering the work it doe*, it gives
surprisingly little trouble. Rut
there isn't a car made that will
not run better and longer if given
proper care.
The first few hundred miles are
especially important because that
is when the mechanism of your
car is being broken la.
Proper attention daring this
period will lengthen its life and
prevent unnecessary trouble later
on.
We are particularly interested
in ttih matter because we believe
it is our duty not only to mails
• good automobile, but to help the
owner get the greatest possible
use over the longest period of
timo at a minimum of trouble and
expense.
With this in view, the entire
Ford dealer organization has been
specially trained and equipped to
service the new Model A car.
Furthermore, we have instruct-
ed every Ford dealer to give the
following free Inspection Service
at 500. 1000 and 1500 miles:
Check battery
Check generator charging rate
Check distributor adjustment
Check carburetor adjustment
( heck lights
Check brakes
(heck shock absorber adjust-
ment
Check tire inflation
Check steering gear
Change engine oil
Lubricate chassis
No charge is made for labor or
materials incidental to this serv-
ice. except, of course, where re-
pairs are necessary through acci-
dent, misuse or neglect. The only
charge is for new oil.
See your Ford dealer, there-
fore. and get thia Free Inspection
of >eur car at 500. 1000 and 15-
00 mile*. Find out, too how little
it wHI cost you to hav« your car
given a thorough going-over at
regular periods thereafter.
A checking up by experienced
mechanics, together with oiling
and greasing every 500 miles, will
add months and yours in tho lift
of your car and mean more eco-
nomical and pleasurable motoring
