GASOLINE TAX URGED TO AID
ROAD BUILDING AND UPkEEP

"Forty million dollars annually can
be raised for road building and main
tenance by a tax of 1 cent gallon on
gasoline" This statement was made
recently by Thomas H. Macdonald
Chief of the Bureau of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in urging a readjustment OF
sources of revenue so that a larger
proportion would be paid by the ROAD
user and a lesser percentage from
State or local taxes.
"This method of raising funds, de-
clared Mr.. Macdonald, "is rapidly
growing in favor and has been adopt
ed in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado
Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Lou
isiana, Maryland, Mississippe, Mon
tana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Or
egon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
South Dakota, and Washington. Or
these States, only Oregon, New Mexl-
co, Colorado, and Kentucky had such
a tax prior to January 1, 1921. The
tax in Maryland, Mississippi, and
South Carolina has been adopted dur
ing the present year and several other
States are considering such a tax"

HOW THE PEDESTRIAN
CAN REDUCE ACCIDENTS
Walk to Left Side of Road and COntri-
butte Materially Toward Avoiding
Mishaps at Night, Is Advice.

Pedestrians along country roads
and those who walk in the streets at
night in preference to using the side
walks can contribute materially to-
ward the reduction of automobile ac-
cidents by walking on the left side of
the road, facing oncoming traffic, ac-
cording to Dai H. Lewis, acting exec
utive chairman of the American Auto
mobile Association.
Courtesy on the part of the auto
mobile driver demands the use of
dimmed lights at night" said Mr..
Lewis, "and this factor, while it con-
tributes to the safety of passing mo-
torists, makes it exceedingly difficult
for the automobile driver to see a pc
destrian walking along the edge of
the road in the same direction the car
is travelling. This difficulty is increas-
ed if the pedestrian happens to be
wearing dark clothing. The result is
that the driver is practically on top
of the pedestrian before the latter be-
comes visible.
walking on the left-hand side of
the road is just as good for the pc
destrian and enables him to see the
approaching automobile in time to
step aside if the motorist does not see
him in time to swerve.
"The pedestrian should remember,
that the rules of the road require the
autoist to keep to the right and should
contribute to the factor of safety by
keeping to that side of the road
which best enables him to escape the
oncoming car and especially the oc-
casional speed fiend or '1ivverboob'
who cares nothing for consequences
and speeds regardless of the rights of
others, for it has been truly said that
whether you were in the right or not
does not matter after you are in the
hands of the undertaken"
Milford chronicle., 1922-08-04
A SENSIBLE PROPOSAL
(From Sunday Starr

What is it worth to the motorist- OF
Delaware to have all lateral roads as
well as main roads put in good con-
dition?
Is it worth one cent gallon for
the gasoline he uses?
Put to him in this way, nearly any
motorcar owner would Immediately
answer:
"Yes."
Yet, when mention has been made
publicly in past months that a tax of
one cent a gallon on gasoline for the
improvement of roads was under con-
sideration, some of the motorists rails
ed objection and declared the tax
would never be legalized if they could
do anything to prevent it.
After all, though, this is not sur
prising, for what taxation is ever
levied to which there are no objec-
tors?
It seems to use that there is no more
equitable form of taxation upon motor
car owners than this one-cent-a-gal-
lon tax. 1t is taxing those who use
the roads the most, taxing them only
to the extent that they do run their
cars over the highways and taxing
them in a degree that will be easy to
pay. In other words it is tax for the
extension of good roads upon those
who use the roads and a tax for only
what they use and nothing more.
AS an indication of how easy bur-
den would be borne by the average
motorist so taxed, suppose the owner
of a motor car should in one day use
as much as five gallons of gasoline.
He would pay five cents for the use of
his car on that day, less than he
would pay for a good cigar.
What would he get out of it? Well,
his five cents and $1,000 other nickels
spent on that day for building and
maintenance of good roads would give
the State S1,050 to spend for good
roads. AS cars are now used practical
ly all year round and there are 365
days in the year when they are run,
this tax would give the State $685.,
25O a year to spend on good roads, in
addition to what it receives from
other sources for the same purpose.
This estimate, of course, is high be-
cause not every motorist uses his car
every day in the year and not every
Ou6 USES dS luuCh do lNO Sd44O4lO VI
gasoline every day.
However, with the income which
would be received from this tax,
great many of our lateral roads that
are now unimproved and are mere dirt
roads, full of holes and ruts, especial
ly during or just after wet weather,
could be improved, and, eventually, all
of our roads could be made finely
surfaced highways, convenient and
pleasant for motoring.
AS fast as the roads were built the
motorists who had paid the tax to
build them would begin to receive the
dividends. Everyone knows that mo-
tOrcar will not use one-half as much
"gas" on a smoOthly-surface highway
as it will on mud road. Not only
that but the motorist would save much
on the wear and tear on his car and
benefit physically by avoiding the
constant jolting over dirt roads.
In the long run, then, the motorist
who pays the tax is the one who will
receive the direct benefit and he would
be saving money in reality by invest
ing it in road building and thus keep
ing down the costs of running his car
What real objection, then, can be
raised to tax cent a gallon of gaso-
line on all who use it?

TN 1908, driving the 1899" racing
car, Barney Oldheld started his
career of victories that later
earned him the title of Master
Driver of The World" To over
come the tire weaknesses that made
racing difficult and dangerous, he
studied tires-specified materials
supervised construction.
Today, Barney Oldfeld is known
as the Master Tire Builder"
Starting with the crude tires which
carried the 1899" one mile in sixty
seconds, Oldfeld gradually de-
veloped his famous Cords-a set of
which covered 500 miles at eighty
eight miles an hour without
change.
In three years Oldfeld tires have

TopAY,s CLEAN COMICS

Clean humor is most healthful. HUI
NOR today is cleaner than it has been
in many years. Perhaps the most wide
ly distributed form of humor is the
cartoon, both in the newspaper and
on the screen. Writing IN the Boston
American; Sylvia Cushman says,
wonder how many folks are paying
attention to 'Aesop's Film Fables?
These cartoons with their animated
animals are really the cleanest wit
and humor of the cartoon variety. AT
first they were regarded in a rather
doubtful manner, by a public long
bored with senseless and vulgar Of
ferings, but soon they began to win
favor, and now at the vaudeville and
motion picture houses they are antici-
pated with as much joy as the feature
pictures, and, in many instances, I
have known them to surpass the 'su-
perfeature.'" What a wide appeal Ae-
sop has! His Fables have been read
for over 2600 years.
TWITTER! TWITTER!
The staff of artists who draw the
funny cartoons for "Aesop's Film Fa-
bles" had bird of time figuring out
gags and business for '"The Farmer
and the Ostrich" The natural history
of the long-legged bird was discussed
from all angles. Then question arose
as to the utility value Of the ostrich.
George Moser argued that being bird
it was of little more utility than
canary or lark. Suddenly, Paul Ter
ry, artist-in- chief, broke up the dis
cussion by boasting:
"Well, I've often ridden on an os-
trich but I've never gone off on
lark"

JUVENILE CLUBS DEVELOP

Reports to the United States De-

young men and women, who, as boys
and girls, enrolled in club work to
learn the best way to raise pig,
make bread, or do some other thing,
are now acting as local leaders of ex-
tension work in their home commune
ties in Colorado. A number of former
club girls are leaders of canning,
clothing, and millinery clubs. A
grownup corn-club boy, now on a
