SHIPPING BOARD FLEET
OPERATIONS RESULT
IN S380,000,000 LOSS

WASHINGTON. July 10. : Opera
tions of the shipping boards feet for
the fiscal year just ended resulted IN
loss of approximately $3SO,OoO,ooo'
Chairman Lasker of the board an
nounced late Monday.
This deficit was greater by $780,
100000 than previous estimates from
official sources and was made following
IN examination OF all board accounts.
The governments venture in the
merchant marine business last year
involved a total expenditure of $780,
100000, so far as could be ascertained
from the boards books, which Mr..
Lasker described as in bad shape.
The new chairman estimated that it
would cost the government $300,O0O,-
900 to carry on operations this year.
$50, 100000 to BE Asked
A deficiency appropriation of $780,
000, 900 for the shipping board is to be
asked in a few days, Chairman Jones
of the commerce committee informed
the senate.
The situation there is critical, I"
said Senator Jones. adding that the
proposed appropriation was designed
to save several hundreds of millions.
The appropriation, he said, was an
obligation taken over from the last
administration.
In asserting that an examination OF
the books showed that $3S0,000,000
had been expended from the public
funds of the shipping board last year,
Mr.. Lasker said this revealed an as
founding case of absolute deception to
the country and congress"
The preident was astonished and
dismayed that such a condition could
exist when | laid these figures before
him this afternoon, but he wanted me
to give the public the facts" he added
System at Fault
Total expenditures over receipts ap
peared to be approximately $3S0,000,
600. Mr.. Lasker said, instead of $685..
51S,567.11 as previously shown by the
boards books. A commercial concern
operating on a similar basis would
have been in the hands of a receiver
some time ago, the chairman asserted
saying also that he knew this state Of
affairs was not the fault of Admiral
Benson, ex-chairman of the board, mol
of Controller Tweedale He said tha
it was due to the system started dur
ing war and continued until recently
The money that is unaccounted fol
was said by the chairman to have
been disbursed by operators of govern
ment-owned boats for which a full
accounting has not been made. Tht
chairman further asserted that o
5000 voyages made, only 5000 hac
been accounted for and that 200 audit
ors we're now working on the book:
of these operators TO find out wha
happened.

highway departments, designate, with
the approval of the secretary of agri-
culture, the roads to receive federal
aid. Each state for the present would
be limited to designate a system of
seven per cent of their present road
mileage to consist of interstate and
inter-county roads. The percentage
is to be increased as the roads are
constructed and completed. This sec
ton provides the so-called farm to
market" roadway system, which the
Farm Bureau federation advocates so
strongly.
Both bills provide that when state
fails to properly maintain a highway
constructed with federal aid the fed
eral government can authorize the
necessary improvements and charge
the cost against the states federal
highway aid allotment.
United in Demand
However they may differ as to a
policy for the federal governments
part in road building and maintenance
farmers, merchants, manufacturers,
road building contractors and just
plain automobile fans" who are leg
ion, are united in a demand that the
central government shall continue to
give generous aid to the establishment
of permanent highways throughout
the country.
1t has been estimated that at least
80 900, 900 Americans are advocates OF
will he
needed by congress. OF the agencies
which are behind the good roads move
ment, 56 were organized to promote
the construction of certain national
or interstate highways, Is are national
or interstate good roads associations
"a are state organizations, 304 are au
tomobile associations and motor clubs
| 260 are road contractors, material ol
machinery trade associations and en-
| gineering societies, 80 are motor trucl
| and automobile trade associations, anC
| 131 are publications devoted to ths
| movement in one form or another.
Help Auto Industry
| The agitation to date has brought
about the construction of so, 900 mile!
of surfaced highways. Upon highwa.
! development the automobile industry
/ fourth largest in the country, is de
| pendent for its stability and upon in
creased road mileage for greater ex
| pansion.
The roadways of the United State
| are now traversed by 9,211,295 licens
j ed automobiles and trucks. Thes,
cars consumed 1920, 900 gallons o
gasoline last year, which is sufficien
explanation for the tidal wave of pro
test against the proposed tariff ol
! petroleum which has recently inun
| dated congress.
Since 1880 more than $3,000,000,00
has been spent for highway improve
ment in the United States and Can
ada. More than $1,000, 100000 is nov
available and S1,500D0000 will b
necessary to carry out projects unde
contemplation. Billions more mus
be expended, it is said, before tA
country has anything like nation
highway system adequate to traffi
| needs.

The secretary has found that so manE
changes have taken place in Ocala
and in the county since the last edition
of the booklet was issued a year ago
that it will be necessary to have new
photographs in nearly every instance
in order to bring the new booklet up
TO date. 1t. is perfectly evident, the
secretary says, that the city and
county have made substantial pro-
gress during the past twelve months.
1t is evident, also, that even greater
changes in the city and county will
take place during the next twelve
months.

DECIDE 1T WITHOUT DELAY

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
The one-cent-a-gallon gasoline inspec-
ton tax, levied for the purpose of
raising highway. construction reve-
nues for the state highway depart
ment, is in force.
The Metropolis has learned that the
legality of the act will be attacked.
This necessarily brings about the
question, when?
Those who are interested in testing
the validity of the enactment should
lose no time in getting their case be-
fore the supreme court, for if, by
chance, the law shall be declared null
and void, what would become of the
money which the inspection tax will
have raised in the meantime?
The case which is expected to de-
velop is most important. 1t is center
ed at one of the main sources of reve-
nue. for the purpose of highway de-
velopment under state auspices. 1t is
designed to raise not less than a mill
ion dollars yearly, very considerable
part of the annual revenue for high
way purposes. If it is found that the
legislation seeking to impose the tax
is defective, it would be almost utterly
impossible to apportion the money
back to the people taxed. There is nc
possible check to be maintained. To
do so would prove costly and laborious
to the concerns charged with the re-
sponsibility.
| 1t is expected that in order to get
the issue before the courts a purchaser
of gasoline will refuse to pay the tal
called for under the law and he viii
then seek a writ of mandamus com
| polling the oil distributor in question
to sell the gas without the tax. Wher
this is done the supreme court should
and doubtless will. in view of the i'm
portance of the issue. waive the usua
procedure and agree to the imediat.
consideration of the case. Lawyer:
differ as to the merits of the reason:
for seeking to declare the act null
and void.
The contestants may or may no
have case. But that is not the thing
in question. The public should know
Immediately whether or not there j:
the remotest possibility that the tal
which they are being forced to pa!
will not go to the development of /;
state highway system. All agencies
therefore, that can contribute to al
early and definite settlement of tn,
issue, should waive aside the usua
formalities.
