AUTO DEALERS FEAR
OLYM PI A, Wash., July 22. "Dan
gerous rocks", face the automobile in
dustry, among them the possibility of
further taxation, according to state
ments by L. E. Titus, president of the
Washington Automotive Trade associ
ation in his annual report submitted to
the organization at its convention here
today.
"Much has been said and published
recently about heavy burden of taxa
tion borne by real estate and personal
property but we believe the automo
bile is paying a proportionately greater
tax than any other class of property,"
Mr. Titus saiu.
"A great part of the taxes raised on
automouiles have, it is true, been used
in building of paved highways for the
use of the motor vehicles but we are
not willing to admit that real estate
along these highways and real estate
in general has not greatly benefitted
by the highway construction program.
1 think this association should go
on record ns opposing vigorously any
attempt to add a discriminatory tax to
the present auto taxes that does not at
least give a full and commensurate re
turn to the automobile alone."

22 YEARS I HOUSE
OF COMMONS AND
MADE NO SPEECH
By DAVID M. CHURCH
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
LONDON, July 22. Attention, mem
bers of the congress of the United
States!
Thin is the tale of a man from whose
book many members of the congress
of the United States might tako a leaf
and bring joy to the American public.
John Hope has been a member of
the British house of commons for
twenty-two years and has not yet mado
his maiden speech.
Hope is a regular attendant at tho
house nf commons and has the rare
record of having won out in seven con
tested elections, in which he has
fought every political party.
"Why don't I speak in the house?"
echoed Hope when ho was questioned.
"Well, 1 have found that I can do more
by not talking.
"When 1 entered tho house first of
all I had no idea of never making a
speech.
"But time went on, nnd the maiden
speech was still undelivered although
I havo been tempted to do it more than
once, nnd friends have urged mo to
break the rocord and now I am afraid
it will never be delivered."
llnnn'o ,alimtimrn ti o,aillr la tint
becnifse of any inability to do so,, for
ho can orate effectively. Ho is not
shy. When ho wants anything he goes
directly to the responsible minister of
tho cabinet, and generally gets what
he wants, because he is one man who
has never attempted to browbeat the
cabinetecrs across tho chambers of tho
house of commons.
Hope bids fair to keep his word nnd
bo the one spcochless member of tho
house of commons, and if lie does so
he will take away tho record created
by William Gornrd Hamilton, who 1n
the eighteenth century gained for him
self tho name of "Single Speech Ham
ilton," because ho is supposed to have
novor made but one speech in com
mons. GERMANY INVITED BY
LONDON, July 22. (By Associated
Press). The council of the League of
Nations today decided to invito Ger
many to appoint a member of tho
league's health commission.
Appreciation was expressed for tho
gift of $25,000 by the American Rod
Cross for control of epidemics.
The proceedings were enlivened
when M. Lang Tsnl-Foti, Chinese dele
gate made a spirited protest against
the opium committee's report which
stated that China was cultivating largo
areas of opium popples. The report
Inferred that China had not lived up to
the treaty obligations.

Kerensky's plan was to spirit the
emperor out of Russia to a neutral
European country or to tho United

lapse of the empire. It will explain

off overthrow, but tho failure of
Kerensky's own government.
The writer deelaresvthat if the al
lies bad been willing to let Russia
remain passive for a period, they
could havo kept her as a valuable
ally. The book will point out that
the entente insisted on Russia dis
playing energy on the front while iti
the throes of a revolution at home.

tributes to simultaneous pressure
from tho two extremo parlies, tho
royalists on the right nnd the bolshe
vik! on tho left, aided by tho hostility
of tho army.
