Charleston, April 23s-Although
the gross sales tax ditd in the House
Of Delegates this afternoon when a
substitute providing a depletion when
substitute providing depletion
and excise tax arrangement was sub
mitted, the taxation fight is far from
over.
Dissatisfied with the rates pro-
vided in the substitute bill for cor
porations, fight will be made from
the Republican side tomorrow, it is
understood, under the leadership of
Delegate Everett Moore, Of Marshall,
to have the depletion rate raised and
the corporation rate lowered.
The substitute measure, which was
offered this afternoon by j. S. Zim-
norman, of Hampshire, majority
leader, provides for privilege Of
production tax on oil and gas of 2
per cent advalorem at the source, 1
per cent on coal, limestone and sand,
and an exercise tax of per cent on
the next earnings of all corporations.
Individuals and partners are elimin-
ated entirely.
To Hold Conference
An effort will be made, it is under
stood, to raise the rate on oil and
gas to per cent, and to reduce the
corporation rate to 2 or per cent.
It is asserted by manufacturers that
the rate as provided in the proposed
bill is more than five times as high
was. A conference of Republican
delegates. and those Democrats who
forced rejection of the gross sales
tax on the majority leaders, is to be
held tonight or in the morning it is
understood, to discuss proposed a.
mendments.
It is generally believed that salts
factory amendments can. be worked
out as to rates, and whatever the re-
suit Of this it is certain that the gross
sales tax has gone beyond the point
of recall.
The measure was submitted today
by Zimmerman was the bill worked
out by Delegate George W. Oldham,
of Ohio, and forced upon the party
leaders by the Ohio county delegate
and his insurgent forces. The rates
as finally Incorporated, however, are
understood to have been arrived at
in the way of compromise, and it
was agreed that the Democratic lead
err would introduce tht substitute for
the sake of party harmony.
There is talk of an extra session
Of the state legislature, due the dis
agreement on the tax problems.

Automobile brakes will last much

says Leslie Neal, manager of the Jack

How many motorists know that
il is possible TO drive along the high
ways and through the hills of South
west Texas without using their brakes
much at all?
This is possible and the brakes will

Then what shall | use? asks the
driver who is new to motordom. Let
the motor do the work. That's the
answer. 1t is surprising how few driv-
ers know about that simple thing.
They use their brakes on long trips
through the hills and come in for new
bands and lining before that should
be necessary.
The motor is the best brake the
car has, no matter what the car is.
This brake acts evenly and there is
no chance of slipping sideways
