take care OF any Government note we
may now be compelled to giye7
Il cannot imagine q tax which would
be as harmful and distasteful as a tax
on gasoline. This rs q petroleum age.
Its products, kerosene and gasoline,
enter into the economics Of every
household. Kerosene furnishes all the
country lighting throughout the land.
Gasoline Is used most extensively, and
in many places exclusively, for cook.
ing and also far heating In the spring
and autumn months. 1t furnishes the
motor power for delivery wagons and
trucks. farm tractors and engines,
and supplies the enormous auto de.
mand OF all the people. The auto has
long since ceased TO be the vehicle
Of the rich or well TODD. It's use Is
almost universal. Its cost will be in
the near future so reduced that prac-
tically every family can own one. No
other invention has given SO much
recreation and healthful pleasure to
the public. tits giving to farm life
an attractiyeness never before at.
tained, as It brings whole counties
within calling and visiting range. Ey-
cry effort should be made to increase
its use for the benefit and pleasure
OF all. That use should never be re-
tarded or made more expensive by
any system OF added taxation. Ever,
auto owner now pays not only a gem
.eral tax on his machine, but, In adj
dttion, quite a heavy license tax, The
auto is doing more than its share in
meeting the expenses Of better roads
throughout the country. The price
of gasoline is a matter OF far greater
concern to the poor than to the rich.
.Aniincreased income tax, while not
so Objectionable as a gasoline and adj.
ditional auto lax, will, nevertheless,
be a considerable burden. y
THE proper remedy for the present
condition is bond issue, the bonds
to be paid QUIT revenues which can
be produced by! change in our Gus.
toms duties and which will meet both
the bonds and the running expenses
OF the Government without hardship,
and without increasing the cost OF
