MOTOR VEHICLES
FOR VAR PURPOSES

with her usual preparedness and
foresight in things military. Germany
has distanced other nations in the mat.
ter of motor vehicles for war. Her
! prominence in this field lies not SO
much in the ownership by the wal de
partment of automobile, nor along
the line of motor fghtino units, but
| rather in the establishment of subsi-
died automobile corps for both pas
senger and supply transportation.
Without the great expense incident TO
pOssession-an expense which would
be useless in time of peaee-She is
thus possessed of a well-developed arm
of service. Corps under subsidy and
subject to demand in war time include
one of motorcycles, one of passenger
automobiles and a third of motor
supply trains of a sort practically un-
known in this country. The first and
the last are subject to purchase by the
government at a fixed price, the pas
senger machines must serve in maneu-
vers for a certain period each year,
and all receive in compensation sub
~stantial payment divided in various
ways.
After a good deal of experiment, the
German war department fixed ON an
ideal type of motor transport, consist
ing of a truck, with t~railers. which,
weighing about seven and a half tons
and with a thirty horse-pow motor,
could carry six tons at a speed of five
and a half miles an hour with metal
tires and seven and three-fourths miles
an hour with rubber tires. This out
fit was capable of a daily mileage Of
from fffty-fve to seventy miles, and
could carry fuel, if gasoline-driven, fer
$50 miles, and for fifty miles if steam
driven. In order to develop this tyne
of motor vehicle, a subsidy was estab-
lished. BY this system, which is now
in force, the owner receives a primary
payment of 1852 and an annual pay
ment of $23s for five years, in return
for which he he pledges himself to
place one of these light army transpor-
tation trains at the disposal of the
government in case of war and to per
NIT inspection of the equipment, as to
it's readiness for war, several times
each year. Some $50 wagon trains are
held under the terms of tins subsidy,
according to the latest figures. The
subsidy in 1910 amounted to s25O,000.

CONDITION OF THE
STATES FINANCES

There is a lot of talk of special SEES
sion and other matters which will
have to wait for finances. 1t is true
that the new tax commission has rails.
ed valuations in this state to the tune
of approximately twenty-fv million
dollars. 1t is also a fact that the rail
road and other large land owners will
pay in more money han formerly,
and that in several instances revenue
licenses have been raised materially.
which will all add to the state ex-
chequer.
At the same time some additional
expenses have been created which
must be met. The state will be prac.
tically out of ready money for the gen.
eral fund by the middle of September
or the first of October, which means
that the creditors will be compelled to
wait until after the tax collections be
fore they will get their money.
After the collection of tax money in
December the treasury will have more
money on hand than in several years,
but there will also be many bills to
meet. The talk of there being too
much money and the state tax rate be-
ing too high, thus making an over
flowing treasury, is all bosh. There
will be no more money on hand that is
necessary to run the state through I'M
til the next general legislative meet
ing.
1t costs money to run a legislative
body, the cash must be on hand before
such an expense will be considered,
and the state board of revenue is do
ing a lot of close figuring to see its
way in the clear.
The work of the tax commission,
which has been mostly satisfactory
and encouraging, is practically in its
infancy. 1t is shown the first six
months that it is possible to raise
funds legitimately in this state, but as
the money is not available until the
regular settlements by the counties the
money cannot be touched.
Professor Adams and several other
theorists have taken a fling at the
game without getting down to brass
tacks. The theory is all right but it
is the cash that tells the story. After
TINS wear this state will be in a better
fix financially than in the past, mainly
from the fact that additional taxable
property is being added to the lists
each day by the tax commission This
body is doing more to raise funds and
levy taxation equally than any other
body of men ever c~ongregated for this
purpose in the state. New properties
are coming in. In a number of dis
tricts new settlers are building, but
they will have to be given time to
get on their feet and cannot be taxed
off their ground. The railroads and
other big corporation lana holders are
cutting up big tracts, which means
that property which formerly was
taxed at $1.25 per acre, will go in the
first year at double that amount. This
is but one instance of the condition.
1t will also be remembered that the
last legislative body borrowed to it's
capacity to run the session through.
1t is evident that the pushing of the
question up to the governor makes
some pretty hard problems for the
executive to crack.-Carson Appeal.
