WAR-TIME MEASURE
Carolina Motor Club Leading Fight
Which Will Mean An Average
Saving of $lB Per Car
North Carolina members of Con
gress will vigorously support the
movement 1 to repeal the .5 per cent
war excise tax on passenger automo
biles and buses, according to expres
sions received by C. W. Roberts, of
Greensboro, vice president »f the Car

The automobile excise tax is the

with war excise taxes 43 have been
granted complete repeal. The levy,
enacted nearly 10 years ago a* a war
measure, remains on automobiles and
firearms.
"This obviously discriminatory levy
yields about $70,000,000 annually,"
Mr. Roberts stated, 'and on December
31, 1926, the total revenue on
motive equipment had amouiile(f~Tff ;
$1,039,071,746.53. This tax is collect
ed by the government through the
manufacturer; but it is added to the
■price of the automobile passed on to
the dealer and ultimately collected
from the motorist. Average retail price
of cars is $835, and repeal of the tax
would mean an average saving of $lB
per car. Every manufacturer has a
greed to cut prices the amount -of the
abolished tax in cars.
