Gasoline Tax Now Effective.

From the Statesville Landmark
The tax OF a half cent the gallon
on gasoline, imposed by the last Leg
islature for road purposes. is now Ell
fective. The autoist should not object
TO the half cent additional for road
purposes. seeing how necessary good
roads are for the automobile. But ne
will probably allege and believe that
the gas dealers will use the tax as an
excuse 10 boost the price. The auto
owner will also pay little more IL
cense tax this year, which isn't cause
for complaint. seeing that il is used
for his benefit In this conenction
every auto-owner who believes in the
square deal should constitute himself
a committee Of one to report every
auto-owner who drives with an out
of date license tag: also those VINO
try to set by with dealers tags, It
is bad enough to evade tax laws on
general principles, but an owner VINO

Tucson One of the most i'm
portant Scientific discoveries
made in Arizona-the establish
ment of the fact that a new geo
logical period, the pliocene, ex-
listed in the state countless CEN
turies ago-has been made by
the unearthing, near Benson, of
the skeletons of a mastodon and
many other anirnaIs, WHO lived
in the pre.glacial age.
The skeleton of the mastodon
was discovered by Kirk Bryan,
of the United States geological
survey, who was collecting speci-
mems in ttat vicinity with a DR..

Institute, Of Washington, and
work of unearthing the bones Of
the ancient animal was done by

ROCK DRILLING WELL

DIVERSION NDAMSiTE

Florence Up at the diversion
damsite things are moving quite
rapidly. The camp equipment is
about completed and the officials
and men are comfortably quar-
tered. At the damsite a large
crew of men are moving dirt and
rock in a fashion that spells COM
.pletion of the dam this summer.
A large amount of dirt and rock
must be moved from the north
bank of the river to give wider
spillway to the dam, but this
work is now well under way and
will probably be entirely removed
within the next two weeks.

FIGHTING 30 :" AND
CAPT. WiLeON SUD
DENLY LEAVE PRESCOTT

Frescott--As 4 reSUit Of the
refusal Of the local school author
tiles to turn over the high school
auditorium to Fighting Bob"
Sawn and Captain" G. W. WI
son, who announced that they
would speak there at 1880, Wed
nesday night, March 16Jh, the
lighting sailor and bis manager
left Prescott bound for parts un-
known.
Wilson and Sawn were refused
the use Of the high school audi
tlriUm after the members of
the Prescott school board heard
Sawn's speech at the chamber of
commerce luncheon. bat the re-
fusal was not based entirely on
the fact that the high school
auditoriumis not generally loaned
for political meetings. The real
cause Of the boards refusal lay
rather in the suspicious aroused
as to Sawn and Wilson's creden-
tials.
Following the receipt of a tele-
gram from the American Legion
in New York to the effect that
the two men did not represent
that organization and were un-
known in legion work there con-
trary TO the evidence of the hotel
register in this city, on which
the travellers had signed as from
American Legion, New York, "
the school authorities began to
wonderif Captain" Wilson was
really a captain and Fighting
Bob" really had a right to wear
The uniform in which he appeared

ened later in theaafternoon when

CLEAR STATEMENT OF CONDITION

In discussing present day busi-
ness problems, Frank B. Ander-
son, president of the Bank OF
Calf ornia, makes the following
four striking points in the solu-
tion of the task of readjustment;
First, the present revenue
bill must be changed as 1T is
gr satest contributor to the high
cost of living, is destructive OF
initiative, encourages extrava-
gence, is unjust in it's workings,
taxes, fictitious profits. is pro-
gressively robbing working capi-
tai of individuals and corpora
tions and fails to discriminate
between new capital and income
although it is only through new
capital that the country grows.
Second. our Liberty Bonds
must be absorbed by real invest
ors. Bonds were issued faster
than our earnings could absorb
them and individuals and cor
porations were forced to buy be-
yond what was prudent, with re-
suits that banks are having to
carry as the attempt to pay it In
the time allotted is too great a
task for the present generation.
Third, labor will have to be
liquidated, but price drops will
have to precede wage drops.
Efficiency of labor has been low
and to the extent that this ef-
ficiency is improved, reduction
in wages can be avoided.
Fourth, the whole world needs
excess products of our soil and
labor, but has no money or credit
to purchase. Some means OF
funding trade balance in our
favor or extending credit to
Europe must be found to enable
her to continue trade with us.
This is time for sanity and
courage. not a time for pessimism
and doubt. We must use such
energy as we may possess to
solve the problems which con
front us each day rather than to
waste that energy in worry over
something which may never hap
pen.
