D, C.. MOTORIST TELLS
OF HIGH-COST TOURING

"Have you ever paid $3.50 per night
for plain storage for your car. or 81
to have your car washed, or 40 cents
per gallon for gas. the same gas
which you generally buy for 81 to
35 cents a gallon?" queries a District
motorist, who has been making a
pleasure jaunt along the Atlantic
coast line. enjoying the cool salt
breezes generally and the high price
Of touring specifically.
"Well," continues the downhearted
motorist, this is the experience that
underwent in Asbury Park, N. ].
We arrived there the first night after
leaving Washington, and one more
day there would have depleted our
pocketbooks SO that we would have
had to curtail our vacation to two
days instead of two weeks.
1.-THE garage was not particularly
impressive looking and no one seemed
to care much whether you stored the
car there or not. We left the car
in a corner and proceeded to a hotel.
The next morning for the above-men-
toned articles, including ten gallons
Of gas, we were presented with a
bill for $1,000. The proprietor ad-
mitted that he should have told us
the price the night before. Few peo-
pie can afford to tour at this rate.
We are still on our way. however,
and are hoping for better things.

WARS ON TRUCKS
TO PROTECT ROADS
Gov. Richie Starts Crusade
Against Overloaded
Machines.

Active steps are being taken by the
Maryland road authorities under the
direction of Gov. Richie to save tho
state roads from being ruined by
overloaded trucks. 1t is stated that
this type of traffic works moro harm
to the finely finished road than anv
other and the most rigid enforce
ment of the loading laws will be adj
hered to. For several years the au
thorities have been protesting against
overloaded trucks using the modern
ana expensive roads and have finally
decided to take drastic action.
In recent statement Gov. Richie
said
Il would like the public to know
what is being accomplished toward
stopping the damage done to state
roads by trucks carrying overloads.
This damage, particularly from non
resident trucks, has been very serious
in the past, and some time ago I ask
ed the state roads commission to CO.
missioner in taking all possible steps
to protect the roads from danger.
"Mr. Mackall and Mr.. Baughman
have co-operated to this end most
effectively. Permanent scales were
placed on the Washington road and
on the belalr ROAD, ana all trucks
which give any indication of carrying
an overload are weighed In addition
to this. four portable scales are be-
ing moved constantly from road to
road where conditions call for them.
1.-The result is that during the first
week of this campaign sixty-four ar
rests were made, followed by convic-
lions in practically every case; dur
ing the second week there were
twelve arrests and convictions, and
during the third and last week about
thirty. Before the campaign began
there were practically no arrests for
violations of this type.
This campaign is going to be
continued, every violator of the law
who can be apprehended is going to
be prosecuted energetically and we
have every hope that in a short time
all damage to the roads from this
source will have ceased"

 This was the question raised by Guy Huston, president Of the American Association of Joint Stock Land Banks, in January at hearing before the senate com- mittee on banking and currency. A bill. known as senate bill 3i09. which would repeal the tax-exemption feature of the farm loan act as applied to the bonds of joint stock land banks, was before the committee and the argu- ment urged by the supporters of the bill was that the government needed the revenue.

He said that the joint stock land banks now pay an income upon the profit on their stock the same as these otEar in- stitutions.
 Mir. Huston also explained that eleemosynary institutions which carry $400,000,000 of farm mortgages pay no income tax.
 He said further that S1,2JO- 100000 which he classified as To- cal loans are carried in small units by local investors who pay only local income tax, if they happen to pay any at alL These can not be rewritten under the provisions of the federal farm loan act because | they have been made on terms and conditions which could not be accept ed under the federal law.
