Mr.. Nordyke. who was formerly
president of the Nordyke & Marmon
company, was born in Richmond, May
3, 1888, the son of Ellis and Catherine
Haynes Nordyke. He was interested
in the business of machinist and mill
wright from early boyhood, since his

tically all of his life, and he assisted

AGENTS OF PENNSY
GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
ON REMOVAL or TAX

Instructions TO agents and others
concerned covering the removal of the
tax on transportation effective Jan. ],
1922. were announced today by the
Pennsylvania railroad company. I'm
der the provisions of the new revenue
law, it is expected that the elimina-
ton OF this tax will save passengers
and shippers using the Pennyslvania
lines approximately S26000,000 an
nually. This estimate. based on
freight and passenger revenues this
year, covers a saving to passengers Of
$13000,000 and s13,000,000 to shippers
Under the regulations issued by the
company, no tax on passenger and
freight transportation furnished on or
after Jan. l will be charged. Tickets
for transportation in 1922 may be pur-
chased at any time during the remain
der of the present year without the
payment OF any tax. On tickets furn-
ished for use prior to Jan. l, 1922,
however, the present tax must be col
lected
In this connection attention is cal
led to the fact that since the Trans
portation Tax was put into effect
early in 1918, no benefit whatsoever
has accrued to the railroad companies
from the additional revenue collected.
I Each railroad has had to make a strict
accounting TO the government and has
simply acted in the role of a govern
ment tax collector.
