tween the amount collected for regis
tration and for the tax on motor fuel
bears to the total amount received
from registration This seems very
complicated, but an example will
serve to explain and clarity the situa-
ton.
Assume that registration produced
100000, and the fuel tax $3.50. 900
for l cent, or $500. 900 for 2 cents.
The difference is $500,000, or 25 per
cent of the $4,000. 900. so that the
new registration fee would be 25 per
cent of 60 cents. or Is cents, SO that
the combined gas tax at cents
per gallon and the registration fee
will produce exactly the same amount
which registration now produces.
Beginning January. 1924. it is
hoped to have reciprocity with the
District Of Columbia, and there seems
now no obstacle in the way, provided,
Of course, the District will make a
tax similar to the tax in Maryland
so that there will not be an incentive
for people living near the District
line to go into the District and buy
their gasoline to escape the tax, and
for anybody to make an effort to go
to the District to buy gas simply to
save the tax.
The gas tax would, perhaps, not
be as popular as 1t is IL it were not
equitable. Unknown two years ago.
it is now collected in fifteen States,
including the neighboring State of
Pennsylvania, and we are informed
by the Highway Commission OF
Virginia that they expect to ask the
legislature to put a tax on gasoline.

dealers attending a Fordson trRc-
TOR Industrial show in Cleveland,
Ohio. The context of his talk
which was very plainly heard In
Cleveland and surrounding dis
tricts Is as follows:

words Of greeting to you dealers

radio Is an outstanding tribute to

there is nothing new under the

that is the farming industry. Be

and with this in mind have
spent years OF time and millions
in money in the development Of
the Fordson' tractor which ! really
think is one OF the biggest possi-

"As a general thing the farmers
have bettered their financial con-

months, but the production costs
Of farm products are still too close

must do to put his business on a
