FIRST STEP TAKEN TOWARD UNITY OF
 IRISH SECTIONS
Boundary Agreement of Craig and Collins Is Welcomed by People of Old
 Ireland
By AssocIsted Press


 Dublin, January 22.-The agree ment between Michael Collins and Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre- mier, concerning the boycott and the boundary between north and south Ireland, although it had not been expected at this stage of the sit nation, has been welcomed in Du- blin as the first step toward Irish unity.
 Both sides are regarded as having had the strongest reasons for desiring the agreement
 The Belfast boycott was paralyzing all the distributing agencies in Bel fast and the Belfast banks, which do a large business in south and west Ireland, had been hard hit by refusals to accept their checks or notes. The task of governing the minority on northeast Ulster was embarrass- ing the Belfast government. which was faced with resistance as intense as that offered to the British govern ment by the rest of Ireland
 Northern Nationaiists On the other hand, many thousands of northern nstionalists are living in acute distress and unable to get back to their employment. They had felt that in the London treaty they had been forgotten and thelr delegates at a recent executive meeting of the Sim Fein expressed their disappoint- ment and asked for guidance regard ing their future policy toward the ul- ster government. Their delegates then discussed the matter privately with both Mir. DeValera and Mir Griffith. It is considered probable that their representations influenced the new Irish government to make a speedy settlement with the northern author lties.
 Acute Problems Moreover, it had become increas- ingly evident that there were acute problems outside the boundary be- tween the north and the south which required cooperation by both the governments. The threatened rail way strike which has been post poned for month, was to affect the northern as well as the southern lines. Also there had arisen many points on general administration upon which doubt had been expressed as to who was the proper authority to act. The railway services were re- served under the act of 1920 from both the north and the south and were to bo discharged by the impe- rial government.
 The peace treaty abolished all these reservations as regards the south and 1t has been argued that all the Brit ish powers then reserved are now Irish powers and that as regards these servifes the new Free State government iwin be supremes even in the north. A friendly arrangement between the north and the south was considered imperative.
 Nevertheless, the agreement Is ex- pected to meet with criticism from the extremists. Both sides have given away something which they had vowed they would insist on.

SUPPORT HIGHWAYS
BY A GASOLINE TAX

Eighteen states Of the union are
resorting to consumption tax on
gasoline to secure the funds for main
tanning their highways. Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi and South Car
olina have just adopted laws to this
effect and Massachusetts and Rhode
Island have similar bills pending.
The states that had gasoline tax
previously we're Arizona. Arkansas,
Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Geor-
gia, Kentucky. Montana, New Next
co, North Carolina. Oregon, Penn
sylvania, South Dakota and Wash
ington. The rate in each of these
states is one cent per gallon, except
in Oregon, where the rate is two
cents. A bill to tax gasoline in New
York was introduced in the last legis-
lature, but no effort seems to have
been made to pass 1t, probably be-
cause of the highway licenses which

The tax is Indirect, and therefore
less Objectionable to motorists than
high direct taxes and licenses. As
long as the rate is kept as low as II
is now, this seems to be the best and
least burdensome form OF taxation
for building and maintaining the
roads. The revenue is very large,
especially in the states where there
are hundreds Of thousands of cars.
The objection to this kind of tax
is that II is such an easy tax to col
lect that the taxing authorities are
tempted to increase the rate, as was
done with the income tax, and It may
throw upon the motorist more than
his share Of the tax burden. In Mary
land there is pending a second bill,
making the tax two cents gallon on
and after January 1, 1924. The one
cent tax law, already passed, goes in
to effect June 1. II is estimated that

When the cave man started drawing
On his little bits OF bones,
He was telling someone something,
He was making something known
And it's rather more than likely
He was trying to arrange
To dispose Of. say, stone axe
And get something in exchange.
When the next man started writing
On his little bits of clay
He was dishing up the story
In diff'rent kind of way,
And it's rather more than likely
He was trying to describe
The advantages of dealing
With a member of his tribe.
They were element'ry people
With an element'ry plan,
But they laid a good foundation
For the modern business man;
