In predicting that the tax levy this
year will be little if any, less than 10

Friday night the house passed the ap-

in taxable values to produce many
more dollars. II it took IL mills to

The house seems to have INDUCED its
appetite for bunk. The socalled new
sources of revenue may enable the
legislature to reduce the levy to 10

senate adds to the appropriation bill.

county delegations have cut off from
the pay roll their demonstration agents.

. RECORD TEST

Four Autos Make Dash Across
continent-Letters Delivered
= in a Days n Hours.

Would the United States mail
system be paralyzed bv complete
tie-up of rail service in case OF a
countrywide strike?
In view of present unsettled con-
ditions this question has frequently
been asked. Perhaps one OF the
best answers is to direct sttention
to motor car performance In the
handling Of mail under a test
which had Governmental sanction.
Just two years ago four Essex
stock cars carrying United States
mail started out at midnight. two
from New York and two from San
Francisco, on their way across the
continent, the second one at each
starting point leaving a day or two
after the first. The ones taking
the lead passed each other near
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and 4 days
II hours and 43 minutes after II
left San Francisco the eastbound
car deposited its mail In the New
York postoffice. -.
Tins was q new transcontinental
motor car record made-and this
record still stands. The average
time Of the four Essex cars In their
flight across the continent was I
days 2l hours and 2l minutes,
mark which likewise has never
been attained by any other car
From these records 1t Is apparent
that in the event a nationwide ratl
road strike should ever completely
tie up that form of transportation
the Government could press. auto
mobiles into service with knowl
edge OF what could be accom-
plished as to speed and dependa
