this source shall when appropriated tn
the exclusive use of the state Road De-
partment, be sufficient to produce q
sum adequate to pay the interest on
the State Road Bond Issue, and create
sinking fund as well.
BY the repeal of the two mill ia.
now appropriated to the State Road
Department, the counties will be able
to use this tax in the. construction of
essential county roads, and will he
further relieved of the upkeep of the
state road system, and this will create
very considerable fund for road con-
struction of a system not taken into
the State system of construction.
We believe there is a movement all
over the state for the calling of a con
vention of representatives of ali the
counties, together with the State Road
Department, which if assembled. could
take up the question of pre- determin-
ing the character of road construction
outlining the trunk system, and recon-
mending to the state legislature tbe
amount of bonds to be issued
the trunk lines and laterals. and
the license tax to be assessed in
support thereof. If this could he
done in a thorough manner, the whole
question could be removed from nol;.
tics. and the people could know in adj
vance what they were voting for. We
favor the advocacy Of organizing and
calling such convention during the
coming summer.
To illustrate what may be done with
the automobile license tax in support
of bond issue, we submit the follow
ing figures from the comptroller's Of
flee with their application to the pro-
posed measure.
There are now in Florida $4,000 au-
tomobiles paying total license fee of
$49S,336.00.
This does not Include foreign cars
from other states, which are estimated
at double that number.
The object of a tax on gasoline is to
require all these foreign cars to con-
tribute on the milage basis to our road
fund, and whatever that tax may be,
the greater it is the more will be COL
lected from foreign cars, and local cars
will pay corresponding lighter license
fee, so that within certain limits we
should favor gasoline tax Of liberal
proportions.
Reconsideration of automobiles with
licenses ranging from $1,000 to $500
and trucks in proportion will yield,
(1920) $941,540.00.
The annual increase in number of
cars is in excess of 10 per cent.
The year 1922 could, therefore, be
made to yield s1,129.S4s.0O.

If after the expenditure above out
lined had been made it was decided not

would be available:

On which the annual interest and
sinking fund would be 100000. The de-
partment would have constructed in

So, 900 900. Total construction, $37,292,-

If the gasoline tax were placed at ]
cent per gal, it would during this pc
riod produce about 100000 additional
or total of $3S,000,000.
This plan Of putting over a state
bond issue has been tried out in several
states, and wherever put to the vote
of the people has carried with an over
whelming majority, for the simple rea-
son that it is to the advantage of all
classes of voters. The man with no We

which shall be the Spanish Trail or
what is now known as Road No. 1 from
Jacksonville to Pensacola, and as a
part of that, the bridge over the delta
of the Escambia river. That the club
go on record as favoring the repeal of

Frank Banta, former employe in
Rufe Kings livery barn at Maple Hill,
may prove the alibi for the King de-
tense in meeting the charge of muir
dering the mysterious peddler. No
tees were received in the attorney
generals office today that Banta's
deposition is to be taken at Provo.
Utah. Maurice McNeill, assistant at
torney general will leave tonight for
Utah to cross examine Banta for the
state.
r whiie the exact nature Of Barra' S
testimony has rot been outlined by
counsel for the defendant, it is known
that King is relying strongly on his
former employe to assist in unravel-
ing the mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of the peddler. King, al
legged keeper of the Maple Hill muir
der farm, is charged with three muir
ders. Should Banta Substantiate the
King assertions that the peddler left
the Wabaunsee county town after ms
stay with King at his livery barn,
big link in the defense will be pro-
vided. 1t is believed Banta may aid
jim unraveling the mystery Property
found in Kings former home has
been identified as having belonged to
the missing man while skeleton un-
earthed near the old livery barn is al
legged by the state to have been that
of the peddler.
The King trial is expected to be
held in Lyndon, Usage county, in
March. A change of venue was taken
| from Wabaunsee county, where 1t was
asserted that public sentiment was
moulded to such an extent that the
defendant could not secure. a fair
hearing.
Senator c. E. Carroll of Alma, an
attorney for King, will represent the
defendant in taking of the Banta
deposition.
