Proposal to
Tax Gasoline

At Atchison, Kan, last week, w. G.
Markham, Secretary of the Kansas
Highway Commission, told the good
roads boosters at the annual meeting
of the Kansas Good Roads Association
tnat the only way to accomplish the
back to the farm" movement was to
eliminate the space between town and
country by the construction of per
nlanent highways. "The only way to
solve the problem of the farm said
Mr.. Markham, ''is to bring the farm
10 the city"
Mr. Markham proposed that the
State levy a tax on gasoline and use
this money for State aid for road
building if the people adopt the con
stitutional amendments at the next
elections. His plan follows:
II the people of Kansas will adopt
the road and tax amendments next
November the State can pay 25 per
cent, not to exceed $4,000 mile, for
road building, without adding one cent
to taxes on either land or personal
property, without increasing the pres
ent tax and license on motors and
give to each county the same amount
of money it is now receiving from the
motor car license fund for road drag
ging.
To accomplish the desired end
Markham would levy tax of one cent
per gallon on all gasoline, make a
minimum license on motor cars of S15
and exempt the auto from personal
tax.
ir,burse the counties which have CON
structed roads since March l, 1918,
and aid in the construction of not less
than 500 miles of road each year OF
the various types now being used, he
said.
Mr.. Markham is resourceful man.
He finds a new method whereby the
people may have good roads without
expense to themselves. He would put
the tax on the oil industry 1t is
simple when one looks at it from his
viewpoint, but if his scheme should
DC adopted and the oil interests should
Increase the price of gasoline so as to
cover the tax, then there would be
general wrangle all along the line and
the anti-oil agitators would have a
lively time. OF course, it is Marx
hams plan to have this proposed road
fund extracted from the oil business
without any comeback" so far as oil
interests are concerned.

NEW YORK, Rec. 15.-Bill Bren-
nan, who was knocked out in the
twelfth round at Madison Square
Garden last night by Jack Dempsey,
said today he intended to ask for
another match.
81 am not satisfied that Dempsey
is my SUPERIOR" he declared. Demp-
sey said today:
brennan was tougher than | ex-
pected. He stood up longer than |
though he would. His blows didn't
hurt me, but | found him hard man
to hit properly"
There were many opinions express
ed by fistic fans as to Dempsey,s in
ability to finish his opponent quickly
When Dempsey did cut loose, how
ever. he made a quick job of it, but
it was not until after Brennan had
shown that he was absolutely un-
afraid of the champions punches
and had split Dempsey's left ear with
q right hook.
The champion proved to be Bren
mans master in nearly every stays
of the bout, but the challenger
withstood many hard blows in tht
wind and ribs through his magnifi-
cent physical condition

TUBERCULOSIS
by DR.. II. II. Cowley

We know two important facts about
tuberculosis, which want to state
and explain in today's article.
First, tuberculosis among the In
dians and aboriginal tribes, when il
does occur is n very violent and dead
ly disease. When IL gets among
these people, il acts like pneumonia
or some acute disease and they die
on with terrible rapidity.
Second, where tuberculosis is COM
mon among people, as II is in all
civilized countries, Il runs a slow
chronic course and most Of the peo-
pie affected recover from Il.
These facts are explained as fol-
lows: Experiments have proven that
any one who has had a slight infec-
tion with tuberculosis has n greater
resistance 20 the disease than one
who has never been infected. Most
people In civilized countries are in
fected during childhood with the tu-
bercle germ. They have scrofula,
bone tuberculosis. joint tuberculosis,
or, perhaps. a slight infection which
does not cause enough symptoms TO
make a diagnosis possible. II their
resistance is good, and they recover
from infection, as Is usually the case,
they are. TO a certain extent, immune
% later infections. We never get as
complete immunity TO tuberculosis
as we do 10 smallpox and other con-
tagious diseases, but while the i'm
munity is only partial. IL is none the
less real and II does afford consider
al,:-~protection in later life.
or course IL the first infection IL
too severe. II may be fatal before
there is a chance 10 become immune.
Also II in later life the infection Is
too severe. the immunity acquired in
childhood NAV no. be sufficient TO
protect, and the patient goes down
before the disease.
The lesson to be learned from these
facts Is this.
Avoid infection in every way possi-
Bile. but II infection comes In spite Of
all precautions, do not despair.
Make a brave fight, and when you
have overcome the present infection,
you may comfort yourself with the
fact that you are protected TO a GER
tain extent against future infection.
In the next article will tell where
the infection comes from in most
cases. II is important TO know this,
II we are TO be successful in avoiding
the disease.
