TOBRING S4,5OO,OOO
State Commission Urges I'M
post of One Cent Per
Gallon.
ADJUSTMENT OF FEES
License Based on the Weight
of Cars Also Is Recon-
mended.
ADJUSTMENT OF FEES

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Feb. 20.
A tax of l cent a gallon on gasoline
is recommended by the reorganized
State Tax Commission in its first an
nual report, which will be submitted to
the Legislature Tomorrow night. The
commission estimates it will bring the
State an annual revenue Of $4,50O,000.
The commission recommends that the
automobile license be based on the
weight of cars, with a minimum fee of
80. Now 1t Is based or the age of the
car, list price and horsepower.
IL Will save multitude of mistakes
and much labor to the fifty-five county
clerks and four State offices of the
State Automobile Bureau" says the re-
port
Other recommendations on automo-
biles include:
Statewide licensing of all operators
at fee Of ST.
Better enforcement of the anti-glare
headlight law, reducing the candle
power from "a to 21, and revising the
list or lenses approved by the State.
A bond of $500 for taxicabs oper-
ating in cities.
Minimizing theft of cars by requir-
Ing the registration of a bill Of sale of
used cars, and that all drivers carry
their certificate of registration
Material increase in fees for refssuing
lost plates and for transfer Of license.
Increasing the inspection force of the
motor vehicle bureau.
The report Shows that the localities
OF the State received from the corpora
ton and personal income taxes during
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1921. a
total of s31,679,S65. The direct State
tax now being collected by the localities
will amount to s22.340,343, or moro
than $9,000,000 less than the amount
the localities received from the State
as their share of taxes mentioned, with
a corresponding reduction in the local
rate.
Among the general recommendations
is one that the entire subject of ex-
emption of real property from taxation
be given the early and serious considera-
ton of the Legislature. The report
shows that the assessed value of real
in the State for the year 1921
was s14,904 ,19917S, of which $685.
9s6,647 was exempt from taxtaion. an
increase Of 9.6 per cent. over the ex-
emption in 1920.
The report shows $9s,739,154 turned
into the State treasury during the fiscal
year ended June 80. 1921. by the vari-
Gus bureaus now under the tax COM
The largest single revenue
producing agency in the State is the
corporation tax bureau, which received
more than s57,000,000. About 43,000.-
900 Of this went into the general fund
Of the State and about $14,000.00o was
distributed to the counties of the State

ship that was none the less warm for

husband that she was going to keep
Babe-whOm she was already calling
by her proper name, the same being
Elizabeth--and educate her. There
was room In the bungalow, Patricia
said; and she really. needed company,
because Bobby was away SO much.
Babe, accepted little Mrs. McLaurin's
offer as soon as Bill Dale convinced
her that she wouldn't be merely an OBJ

law is that one must pay for what
he gets-and it's probably the first
law God laid down for old Adam in
Eden. Ben Littlef0rd seemed bewil-

that she cared for him. But he was

along that Babe would have to be

reasoned. might change with educa-

opportunity Of knowing other men Of
his class. If she couldn't Eove him

her to love him at all.

ny CUtLtu NCtVS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-While
the present isolation of the United
States, as regards European economic
rehabilitation, is said to be only tenn
porary, at the same time, SO long as
the creditor nations of Europe. along
with their debtors, continue to ap-
prOach the edge of the economic
precipice, America can only stand by
and wait, what now seems to be, the
inevitable catastrophe, Washington
officials agree.
International experts here aver that
France maintains the greater part Of
an army of 1000, 900 men on the very
borders of Germany, whose army is
now 1000; that France continues
compulsory military training so that
she has a potential army within the
next fifteen years of from 100000 to
5000 900 men; that France is adher-
ing to an erroneous policy with re
gard to reparations; and that she is
apparently attempting to create a sit
uation so intolerable as to force this
country to cancel the French war
debt Of some S3,7S0,0Q0, 1000. In this
last regard, Gary's statement Of oppo-
sltion against cancellation Of the al
lied debt meets with heary approval
of the Administration.
Beyond this, however, it can be
stated authoritatively, the United
States can not GO at this time. Until
Europe establishes an equitable basis
on which a conference can he held
in other words, the moral will be to
help itself by reducing land arma-
ments and instituting budgetary re-
forns-the suggestions of Judge Gary
and of all those who are adding their
voices to the growing demand for q
world conference on economics can
not be acted upon.
