WOULD BUILD ROADS
WITH AUTO TAXES
Proposed Amendment to Federal High
way Improvement Appropria-
ton Bill.
(By George n. Manning, Washington
Correspondent of The Joural)

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Robert N. Stanfield of Oregon pro
poses to place the burden Of appropria-
tions for federal aid to building OF
roads In the states upon those who
chiefly benefit therefrom-the automo-
bile users. He believes that the own
ers OF the automobiles will be willing
TO pay the taxes because improved
highways will mean a larger and bet
ter field for the cars and will certainly
reduce the cost of operation through
less wear on machines, tires and other
equipment.
HE has prepared an amendment to
the annual federal highway improve
ment appropriation bill emsodying his
views and will present 1t acd urge X.
adoption as soon as congress cSn-
Jvenes in April.
His amendment proposes TO scgTe-
gaze all revenues now being received
from the 4 per cent sales tax imposed
on products of the motor vehicle in
dustry and place it in a separate fun
to be known as the federal highway
fund. This fund would be used eX
clusively for federal aid to construc>
ton OF highways in the states in lieu
of the sums now being appropriated
out of miscellaneous moneys in the
treasury.
The revenues obtained from this 5
per cent tax on automobiles parts and
accessories during the last fiscal y
amounted to $145, 963,03S, derived ~
follows:
Revenue, bill, ,7ectton 900. subdivision
1. motor trucks wagons. etc. $14.491,-
n IL. I'll
motorcycles, $76, ,814; subdivision 8
tires, tubes parts and accessories 500,
1858; section 1901, subdivision IL.
license fees from operators of motor
vehicles for hire, $2,04O,243. Total
$145,963,035
Congress has given 500, 200, 900 an
nually for the past four years for fed
eral aid to the states in building pos
roads. The present per cent tax OF
products of the auto industry will 4,
46 per cent more than that from
outset and with the growth of the i'm
dustry will probably soon amount to
$3.50 100000 per annum.
Those upon whom the tax falls will
not be reluctant to pay II when the
benefits derived from 1t are directly
TO their interest, Senator Stanfield be-
lieves.
The Oregon senator proposes to
have the appropriation allotted among
the states in proportion. to the num-
Der of automobile liceses taken out
so that each state will receive an allot
ment from the fund very closely IL
keeping with the amount it contribute
10 the fund.
1.-THE present method of appropriat
ing for federal aid TO state road build
ing admits of a limited program only
and depends upon further annual up
preparations by congress TO permr
continuation of the federal highway
work." said Senator Stanfield. while
under the method / propose the pro-
gram will be a continuous one and
limited only by the amount of revenue
collected each year.
"The method / propose will levy the
cost of building the roads upon those
who benefit from them" he continued.
This appears to me to be the logical
way to provide funds for federal aid
to road building in the states"

SHORTAGE OF RADIUM
REPORTED IN GERMANY

BERLIN, March 21.-Once the chief
producer of radium, Germany. now has
barely enough to meet the medical needs
of the great universities. There is only
one gram of radium in all Berlin, and
proportionately even less at Heidelberg
and other university cities.
The shortage is said to be due to the
fact that kaurethh, used in the manu-
facture OF radium, is no longer import
ed from America. The Germans say
the United States could supply plenty
OF karnothit. but in view OF the low
purchasing power of the mark the
Germans cannot afford to buy IT,

Herman After His Title

Pete. Herman, former bantamweight
champion, who lost his title to Joe
Lynch through being outpointed in
fight at Madison Square Garden several
months ago. will box George Adams, of
Chicago, in the main attraction of fif-
teen rounds at the Central Manhattan
A. G. (Manhattan Casino) Thursday
night.
This viii be the first local appear
ance of Herman since he left his crown
on the noble brow of Joe Lynch. Her
man, who had been somewhat inactive
before trying conclusions with Joe, is
out to gnt the title back. Since his
last appearance in New York he trav-
eled over to dear old Lunnon and
knocked England's pride, fiyweight
champion Jimmy Wilde, for q row of
goals.
Herman has been in hard training
ever since his reverse at the hands Of
Lynch. He regards Adams as no set
qp. The Chicago bantam stopped Bud
Dempsey in less than seven rounds at
the Pioneer Sporting Club recently.
He is far from being mark for any
one near his weight.
The ten-rovna semi-final at the
Casino show will pit Augie Rather, the
sturdy middleweight, against Jack

Five High-Class Contests
Offered for Irish Relief
Fund Tomorrow Night
By w. /. Macbeth

Madison Square Garden, which has
staged half dozen championship bat
ties under the Walker law during the
last few months, will give its farewell
show until next fall tomorrow night.
The circus is to make it's annual stand
at this historic pile netx Saturday
night, after which the huge arena will
be turned into a gigantic swimming
pool for the summer months.
Tex Rickard, the impresario who has
been a vital force in stabilizing boxing
under the new law, hopes to make of
tomorrow nights farewell the most
successful show Of the season. Rick
ard has prospered wonderfully through
patrons the best entertainments that
could possibly be arranged. He has
absolutely no financial interest in this
closing show. 1t is to be a benefit to
the Irish Relief Fund.
Rickard has not only presented to the
committee in charge the use of Madison
Square Garden free of rent. but is do
mating his valuable services gratis.
Aside from the complimentaries issued
to the actual working press every one
who sees tomorrow nights card will
absolutely suspended for the occasion.
Five Bouts on Program
No less than five high class bouts
will be presented, the. feature of the
evening bringing together Willie Jack
son and Rocky Kansas, two of the most
seriously regarded aspirants to Benny.
Leonard's lightweight championship.
Kansas, Buffalo boy, is making his
New York debut. He was to have en-
gagged Benny Leonard in title bout at
the Garden on St. Patrick's night, but
Benny was forced to cancel because of
illness. This main bout will be of
twelve rounds. Each of the other four
will be ten rounds,
Joe Lynch, bantamweight champion,
was to have defended his title in one
wards. but Lynch injured his right
hand in training on Friday afternoon
and was forced to cancel. Rickard is
now looking for q substitute for the
champion, and probably will put on
Johnny Murray in Lynch's place.
One bout that should be scarcely less
interesting than the Jackson-Kansas
embroglio pits Midget Smith against
Jack Sharkey. Smith has wonderful
following locally, but in Sharkey he is
tackling the toughest lad he has met in
great loss of prestige, but also q
knocked out by Joe Lynch several
months ago. He has just returned
from a long visit to Hot Springs, Ark.
where he lived the simple life and
where he left his ebay window
Sammy Sieger, favorite Of the East
Side, and Artie Root, of Cleveland. will
also mingle for ten rounds. So will the
negro heavies, Kid Norfolk and Jack
Ward, of Philadelphia. Any one Of the
five bouts carded might be regarded as
a headliner to an ordinary show, and
every one will be surprised if Madison
Square Garden does not play to capa-
city, as the prices will be popular
ranging from Sc to $40.
