Show The Humor of Cycle Taxation. Possession may be nine-tenths of the law, but the remaining tenth occasionally oc-casionally makes trouble, especially in France. A man in Paris had two motor cycles, on which he paid the annual tax uncomplainingly until the motor cycles were stolen from him two years ago. The law insists he should go on paying taxes indefinitely, as he cannot prove that he no longer possesses the cycles by returning the taxing plaques which were attached to the machines and, of course, vanished van-ished with them. As long as he does not return the plaques the law con-eiders con-eiders he is in possession of the cycles, and insists on the taxes being aid. |
