State Meet
In BOOnyille?

A dispatch from Boonville says:
THE annual track meet of the Mis-
souri, State Conference in all likeli-
hood will be held in this city, instead
of in Columbia, in connection with
the high school meet, following the
decision of the University of Missouri
authorities to bar Chillicothe Busi-
ness College, because it is not ac-
credited to the university. This school
is now member of the Missouri State
Conference, and as the other members
of the association did not desire to
bar the school, transfer to this city
was proposed. Other members of the
conference are the Kemper, Went
worth and Missouri Military acade-
mics and Kansas City Polytechnic"

A COMMON SENSE PLAN.

An apparently sensible plan for
raising needed funds for road con-
struction and maintainance is, collect
tax of two cents on gasoline and
use the revenue thus obtained on the
roads, or to care for interest on road
bonds and provide a sinking fund to
retire them at maturity,
Such tax wiuld be equitable and
just to all, The man with little
car would pay his just proportion of
the tax as the man or firm with a
big car or powerful truck. One
would possibly buy and use 200 or
300 gallons of gas year, paying the
road fund$4 to Sc, while the other
would buy and use from 1000 to
l,5O0 gallons per year, paying form
$40 to $50.
Harrison county has at present L.
500 motor vehicles as shown by the
license record at sheriff's office. These
use between 1,250,0O0 and 1900, 900
gallons of gas per year. The two
cents tax would produce a revenue
of from $25,0O0 to $4,000 per an
mum. A healthy sum to car for in
terest and provide sinking fund for
bonds already issued for road pur-
poses as well as those that may be

1t would undoubtedly be we'll to re-
peal the present auto tax law and
allow the gas tax to take its place.
The present tax brings about $500
per year to Harrison County. The tax
should be kept and expended in the
county where it is collected, thereby
encouraging better roads and addit-
ional travel and freight transportat-
ion by motor.
1t is believed that very few owners
and users of cars and trucks would
object to the gas tax. Reasonably
good roads would save to every one
many times during the year the
amount Of gas tax paid. The plan is
well worthy of careful consideration
at the hands of our business people
and lawmakers.
Confning the use of tax to county
where collected is fair. The county
that has expended considerable sums
for road Improvement has a greater
number of motor vehicles owned and
used by its citizens, while cars from
other sections will be attracted by it's
highways, use them more frequently
and necessarily by gas.
In view Of the enormous debt con-
tracted by our country during the war
together with large bond issues al
ready used in building roads, it is
imperative that the best business tai
ent of each section be commandeered
