PROPOSED LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Arguments in Favor of Washington
Gettysburg Highway.

From the Springfield Republican.
A seventy-two-mile road as national
memorial to Abraham Lincoln would be
so radically different from the popular no
tion of a monument to great national
hero that the reported recommendation to
the memorial commission appointed by
Congress may not gain much favor.
Something visible and tangible as a
" hole, at a glance of the eye, meets the
conventional idea of proper memorial
to the war President the centenary of
whose birth is SO near at hand. The
Washington Monument has been eminent
ly satisfying to the nation because of its
imposing. unrivaled appearance along the
we'll settled lines of mortuary expression
Whether the people. educated to towering
shafts, heroic e1sgies and granite temples
for the perpetuation of earthly honorS 10
the illustriOus dead would accept a high
way as national memorial to Lincoln
must be deemed, of course, exceedingly
doubtful. While the commission will be
influenced in its views by the desire to
make the Lincoln memorial as unlike the
Washington Monument as possible-since
they are to be in the same city or its vi
cinity--it may be that it will think the
latest suggestion too great a departure
from conventional ideas.
\ little thought. however. will reveal
would make it most admirable if the road
were built and developed on lines grandly
appropriate to the theme. 1t would run
from Washington to Gettysburg battle
field. " here Lincoln delivered his greatest
his immortal address-a field in itself an
impressive memorial to a cause which
Lincoln personified. AS a speedway sew
enty-two miles in length it would be as
perfect an example Of read building, no
doubt as the modern world possesses;
and the possibilities of adjoining 1t along
the route with minor memorials of Lin
coins career and making it from end to
end artistically expressive of the victory
which Lincoln achieved for the Union and
nationality need only to be suggested TO
kindle the imagination concerning the
splendor of finally perfected scheme.
/ 1t is obvious, too, that such a roadway
would be exceedingly popular with the
thousands of American tourists who visit
the National capital each year, and who
in the future will vastly increase in num-
bers. Even now many of them endeavor
to associate the visit to Washington with
a visit to the Gettysburg battle-ground.
although it is not easy, without abundant
time to take the trip under present con-
ditions. But, with the proposed memorial
road running direct between the capital
and the historic field. the fast modern
motor car would render the trip an easy
one, within days limits. for every
Washington visitor. The motor car and
the memorial road combined would de-
velop a feature of immense popularity,
and, before rejecting the proposal, the
Lincoln commission should give due con-
sideration to this aspect of the case.

PISTOLS NOT SOLD IN TEXAS
Leased for Fifty Years on Account
of a Tax Law.

Austin Cor. New York Sun.
A cowboy walked into n hardware
store here and asked for good six
shooter
How much is it?'' he asked when he
had looked it over.
Il can't sell it to you the dealer
replied, but Will lease it to you for
fifty years for SIS
This Is a dad blamed funny kind of
joint" the cowboy said Il don t
want to lease Il gun; want to own it,
He started to walk out. but was
called back by the dealer. who ex-
planned that the last Legislature passed
a law which imposes a tax of so per
cent on the gross proceeds from the
sale of pistols.
IF I sold you this sixshooter for SIS
l would have to pay the state a tax of
$780," the hardware man explained.
Il can lease it to you for fifty years and
won't have to pay the state anything"
The cowboy saw the point and leased
the gun.
The law. which was enacted for the
purpose of taxing pistols out Of exist
ence in Texas, has been in effect more
than nine months. During that period
only two pistols have been sold in
Texas, according to the tax receipt
records of the state controllers office
One of these weapons was sold the
other day in Amarillo for SIS and the
dealer made a remittance of $50 tax
on the sale The other pistol was sold
at Gainesville several weeks ago for
$40 one-half of which sum passed into
the Golfers of the state.
1t is said that dealers all over Texas
are evading the new law by leasing
pistols for periods of fifty years and
more Pistol toting is not openly prac-
ticed in any part of Texas. Many men
still wear sixshoOters. but the weapons
are hidden There has been a wonder
full change throughout the southwest
in this respect during the last fifteen
or twenty years.
In the early days almost every native
in this region wore one or two SIX
shooters In holsters attached to a belt
around his waist. Then the moral wave
which wiped out gambling and is about
to do away with the saloon in Texas
came along and the siXshooter lost It's
popularity.
Only few days ago man here was
fined 500 for carrying pistol. Not a
great many years ago 81 and costs was
the usual punishment inflicted.
1t is said that the fight against carry
ing pistols has greatly lessened the
mortality rate in Texas Murders are
still committed. but there has been a
decrease in the indiscriminate shooting
and killing that formerly took place In
the state.
