make.
"BiIlie, If you will so up to my room
and bring my small handbag, I will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: ."Well,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on a new meaning.
He saw a chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he is twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
be one Of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men of this nation so
much good in so short time as few

"Nearly every civilized country gives

it is the duty of everyone to help de-

One of the big, outstanding
truths concerning the policy of
protection is the fact that prices
of manufactured products have
always fallen when we ceased to
be dependent upon foreigners for
their supply. All the sophisms
and fallacies exploited by free
trade economists cannot wipe out
that fact.

FLAW PICKED in
Emergency FUND
PLAN OF SENATE
Legislators Are Given Execu-
tive Powers Contrary to
the Organic Act

According TO Attorney General /. NJ.
Stainback, the plan proposed by the
senate ways and means committee
for an emergency fund TO take the
place Of the governors contingent
fund is Illegal -. 49,.
Stainback expressed his belief today
that Senator Baldwin's bill to provide
for the families Of national guardsmen
is in the same category. Both plans
are alike In that they place the dis.
tribution OF funds in the hands Of the
treasurer and the heads of the finance
committees of the two houses.
Stainback said today that while he
has not studied the question very
fully he is of the belief that both
plans are out of joint with the Or
ganic Act ...
THE members of the legislature
can make laws but they cannot exc.
cute them" he says, land in these
plans these two men are placed clear
ly in control of territorial funds. II
is mixing of executive and Iegisla,
tive powers. g.. ..
Also, this distributing committee is
practically a board, and all boards
must be appointed by the governor
according to the Organic Act. The
only appointments the legislature is
allowed TO make are of Officers neces.
sary to enable 1t to discharge duties
as legislative body such as clerks
and messengers"

TAXON FUEL FOR
MOTOR VEHICLES
PLANNED BY CLUB
Finance Committee is Shown
How System Would Increase
Revenue for Roads

II gasoline was taxed at ; cents a
gallon and the present system OF tax.
/ ing automobiles, which is cent a
pound year, WAS done away with, the
terrftoTy's revenues from machines
would increase about % per cent. AMI
automobile owners, in many instances,
would contribute to these revenues In
far smaller amounts than at present.
Y This is the contention Of the Homo
lulu Automobile Club, members OF
which appeared before the finance
scommittee OF the house Of representa-
lives yesterday afternoon in support
OF the house bill eliminating the pre-
sent auto tax and placing a tax on
fuel used to propel these vehicles.
Big Increase Shown
Figures prepared by the club show
that, in 1916, taxes from automobiles
amounted to $73,7g2.S0. They also
show that, If tax Of ; cents a gallon
had been imposed, the taxes would
have amounted TO $242,993.75. Jack
Warren, for instance, owns car that
weighs 1926 pounds. Therefore, at I
cent pound, his annual taxes amount
TO $31.25. He uses about so gallons
OF gasoline a month. II gasoline was
taxed at instead OF cents gallon,
his annual taxes would amount to
just $4.75 more than he is now pay
ing. II the tax was cents he would
pay considerably less.
Circuit Judge c.. w. Ashford, father
Of the bill, pointed out that, in the
opinion OF the club, the traffic should
pay its own way on the roads Of the
Territory The plan is, he said, to
have licenses granted by the treasurer
TO original dealers in meteor fuel, and
Il would be from these persons only
that fuel could be purchased Conse.
Quently. these dealers would add 8
cents TO the prevailing price Of every
gallon Of gasoline sold, and every
month make return to the treasurer
Of the revenues derived from sales.
Revenue for Roads
This revenue, he said, would be dis
tributed among the counties and held
as q special fund for the opening, con.
siruction and maintenance of roads
through the territory. Judge Ashford,
Illustrating the idea OF the traffic pay
ing its way, took as an example big
tractor pulling 10 tons and running
1bout mile and half on gallon
Of gasoline. Lighter cars, he explain.
Cd, would be able to run is or so miles
Oh . gallon.
The plan includes the taxation OF
gasoline. neptha and distillate. and in.
cIudcs al users Of this fuel. Judge
Ashford added. however. that amend.
uents TO the bill might be provided
n favor Of persons using this fuel for
stationary engines and like machines,
81 that re9ate system TO cover these
users might be Included.
Tax Assessor G. T. Wilder was Of
he opinion that the principle Of the
I|Il Is good. but whether II would work
OUT he added. Is another thing to be
1onsidered
