To The Taxpayers and Renters
Of Madison County:

In Tuesdays paper there was
an article from The Citizens
Committee stating that they
have been trying to get the issue
of the zoe tax honestly and
squarely before the people. Now
lets see if I can get this matter
before the people without SO
much beating around the bush.
This committee could put the is
sue clearly before the people if
there were not some things they
want to keep hid.
l have always understood the
amount that is to be added to our
tax is zoe TO the Hundred dollars,
ii carried but their argument is
that this would increase the val
uation of property. An increase
in the value of property means
an increase i'll the assessment OF
property. An increase in assess
ment of property means an in
crease i'll eur tax. We know
what the 20c on the $1,000
would cost us right now but it
has not been so long since we
were notified by the State Tax
Commission that there were SO
many olillion dollars short and
were going to re-assess proper
t.. to make up this shortage.
Now I will ask you tax boos- |
tcrs how much Of this will be
added on to your property if this |
zoe tax is added to all of the in
creased valuation of property in
siX years. The Tax Commission
is liable to meet six times III the
next six years. | will ask you
to clearly state before the voters
if you want to be honest in it
just how much in your opinion

"Semi- Diesel Automobile Can Be Oper-

Burns "Gas-0il.

PARIS. Dec 1S-The "semi-Diesel"
automobile is now an accomplished fact.
One of these oil-burning motors recently
was installed on a heavy touring car
chassis weighing two and one-half tons.
The car made the, trip TO Bordeaux and
back in two days. carrying five passen-
gers. much baggage, and go gallons of
reserve fuel
The motor is designed to burn gas
oil, a heavy petroleum product remain
ing after the Kerosene has been ex-
tracted. 1t costs here IL cents gallon
as compared with SO cents for gasoline
The car made about seven miles to the
gallon and about $50 miles on a gallon
of lubricating oil. so that the cost of
operation worked out at two cents
mile.
Experts in charge of the experiment
predict great future for this type of
motor. The engine used was found too
small for the weight it had to pull. but
an average speed of 80 miles an hour
was maintained, which was regarded as
creditable. The 'semi-Diesels type of
motor, its friends say. not only costs
less for upkeep but is simpler and there
fore cheaper to make than the standard
type. Experiments are being conducted
with the idea of using this new engine
on the automobile busses of Paris.
