WOULD TAX GUN "ToTERs.,
Reno Representative Elect Has Plan
for Road Fund Help.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 19.-If a

general road Improvement.
Mr.. Wilson, who is president of the
Central Kansas boulevard, which is
promoting an improved highway from
Great Bend to the west line of the
state, following the Missouri Pacific,
is a great good roads booster.
"My idea is to require the registra-
ton of weapons of all kinds,'' said Mr..
Wilson. This would apply not only
to reviewers, rifles and shotguns, but
also to knives, daggers, dirks, knucks
and the like. tax would be levied
on each.
81 would have the money collected
in each county, but sent to a state
fund, to be used in general road i'm
provement under the direction of the
state highway engineer.
Il also would have a good roads tax
levied against each automobile, and ]
do not believe the owners of autos
would object, for they are all for good
roads. 1t is my intention to drafi
these ideas in a bill which I will intro
duce in the legislature this winter
