Gasoline Tax
To Put Million
Into Road Work

Based upon figures available in
the office of Secretary of State
Kozer, Oregon motorists will con
tribute approximately $1,000,00O
toward the maintenance of state
highways this year through the
two cent tax on gasoline sales now
in effect. Receipts of the secre-
tary of states office through this
channel for the first eleven
months of the year aggregate
1896, ,126.24. Receipts for the
month of December are expected
to approximate $4,000, which,
with deductions for refunds under
the provisions of the act Of 1921
will probably leave the mainten-
ance fund for the year just little
short Of the $1,0OO,000 mark.
A summary of gasoline sales
tax receipts just prepared by Sec
retary of State Kozer shows re-
cepits for November totaling $79,-
419.29 covering sales of $780,
1865 gallons of gasoline and 1884,
1856 gallons of distillate. Re-
ceipts of the department from the
sales tax for the year up to No
vember 80 totaled $935,126.24
covering the sale of 47,545,227.S
gallons of gasoline and 2,412304
gallons of distillate. Since the
sales tax was first instituted in
February. 1919, receipts from this
source have aggregated $1.741,-
864.63 covering the sale of 124,-
511, 1,227.8 gallons of gasoline and
1896, ,463.75 gallons Of distillate.
Refunds to purchasers of gasoline

Natives Of India
Led By Magician

London. Dec. 29.-The popular
belief in India that Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi, the nation
alist leader who is styled Ma
batma" possesses supernatural
movers is growing, writes the
bombay correspondent OF the
westminster Gazette.
"Mahatma" means wonder
worker" and was the title given
Gandhi months ago when tnere
could be found in remote Indian
villages people who believed tha'
he could stop bullets, replace sev'
ared limbs and the like. Gandnl
then assured his followers tnat ne
could not work miracles and was
therefore not "Mahatma."
Within the past few weeks,
however. the ignorant villagers
belief in his power has revived
through the appearance on tne
leaves of certain trees Of cot
ton like material. They declared
that Gandhi was making cotton
grow this way so as to defeat the
object of the government which
is buying up the entire cotton
crop for export. The non cooper
ators have been trying to per-
suade all Indians to use no cotton
cloth save that of native spinning
and weaving.

Dancing Hours Not Limited.
During the discussions relative to
the passing Of the ordinances regulating
soft drink establishments, Councillor
DR.. Emil Mueller brought up the
matter OF dances at the Armory, which,
he said, were permitted to continue
until 2 o'clock in the morning and even
later. greatly disturbing the slumbers
of people residing in that vicinity.
The dancers SO far forget. themselves,
occasionally, at least, Councillor Muel-
ler stated, as toindulge in shouting and
yelling when they leave. the dance
floor. He likened this unnecessary
noise and commotion to the frontier
days when this section Of the state still
harbored large numbers Of Indians who
sometimes took occasion to test their
lungs and the velocity of their dis
cordant voices. Mayor Z. A. Fritsche,
who was present at the council meet
ing, stated thateihe had issued only
two permits to continue dances at the
Armory after midnight. He said he
was not aware Of the fact that the
terpsichorean events were being con-
tinued until the ''wee sma' hours of
morning or even later.
Want Street Improved.
Property owners along Front street,
between Center and Sixth North
streets, directed a petition to the city
fathers, asking that that thoroughfare
be improved so as to prevent the food
ing of cellars under sad djoining resi-
dences. The excessive moisture also
greatly impedes traffic onsthat street
by creating a superabundance of mud
and mire. The street committee, to-
gether with the city engineer, will look
into this matter and see how it can be
remedied
