ABOUT THE GASOLINE TAX

The Vermont Chamber of Com
merce has made survey of public
opinion respecting the gasoline tax
proposition. From that it appears
that the tax is now in successful
operation in seventeen states, ordin-
arily in addition to the personal pro-
perty taxes.
The commission of California urges
the adoption of the tax. but in Kan
sas they are waiting for a system Of
roads thinking that when a gasoline
tax is had it should be applied to
maintenance. Minnesota is not adj
vocating 1t now but thinks it should
be used for maintenance whenever it
is imposed. Missouri and Nebraska
are talking about 1t. Rhode Island
doesn't want it as that small State il
not~forced to seek sources of revenue
tor its small system of roads.
xlabamas commission favors a
twO-cent gasoline tax; likewise the
commissions of Delaware. Idaho, In

Immediately get the people to see
wholly through his eyes, though his
vision may be demonstrated to be
superior. but they SHOULD ascertain
whether his views of what is funda-
mental with respect to the Tniver-
sity are sound, and if found to be,
that this be provided and his efforts
be sustained. The only alternative
to that is to close the institution,
and this is unthinkable. He is
resolved to properly train only so
many as the University may accom-
modate. While the State should
recognize. and President Little prob
ably does. that not all who may wish
to avail themselves of University
training will profit therefrom or need
be encouraged to undertake it, this
will be cared for by rigid insistence
on the proper training of those who

states two-cent per gallon tax is
favored. Most think the tax should
be devoted to maintenance. The Ten
neesee Automobile Association and
the Good Roads Association favor
the tax as a method for retiring a
proposed bond issue of seventy five
million dollars for the construction
of new roads in that State.
California is convinced that in that
State the tax can be collected from
about six distributing companies,
that the cost of collection will be neg
ligible. West Virginia on the other
hand favors the tax in case a method
of collecting can be devised which
will be practicable.
1t is not at all difficult for anyone
to see that it would be easy to fritz
ter away the tax in overhead eapen-
ses. 1t must be collected at little cost
to make the tax worth while. Nobody,
except those hunting for jobs. wants
an army of inspectors and collectors
fastened onto the government for the
work Of collecting gasoline taxes.

WHAT u. OF M, NEEDS

While Maine believes heartily in
education, she seldom asks President
Little how much time he wastes in
pleading with the public for the
money that his state university
needs.-Boston Herald.
We are under the impression, how
ever, that the Legislature is giving
this matter serious consideration and
is trying to find ways and means to
eliminate at least a good part of this
waste. A direct tax of mill is one
Of the means suggested. This indi-
Gates that our lawmakins bodies are
arriving, il not already arrived, at
the conclusion it is idle to speculate
whether the University of Maine has
claims on the State. There is no
doubt that the State owns the build
ings and the campus on which they
are; that it long ago accepted obliga-
tons respecting the institution. 1t
seems worse than idle to attempt to
even supposing there were wish to
do so.
Thus there is definite proposition
presented. Another definite PROPOSE
ton is carefully prepared budget
submitted by the University with
data to support it, all visible to the
inspection of the lawmakers. Here
would seem to be something tangible
to work upon. From this, supple
mented by such investigation of all
the conditions as may be required to
convince the Legislature Of the act
ual needs to be met.to enable this
excellent institution to function
properly. to continue the work. which
it is generally supposed to do. which
the State expects to have done, it
ought to be possible to establish a
policy of some permanence.
Come to think of it, the presi
dent Of this university should not be
wasting time in pleading with the
people of the State for what they are
under obligation to grant. On the
contrary the State should ascertain
whether the institution is doing the
work to be done. whether it has the
equipment to do that work, whether
the best advantage is being taken of
such facilities as it has, whether the
president is acquainted with the
needs and conditions. not only under
his immediate supervision, but
throughout the State.
We think the public is already
convinced from it's brief acquaint-
ance with President Little that the
University and the State are to be
congratulated because Of his decision
to devote himself to this undertaking.

Dear Journal:
AS we read in your columns, of the
terrible winter in Maine, we consrat :
ulate ourselves, that we are not there
and that Florida opened her doors to
us SO hospitality; and she certainly
does open them wide for the tourist.
l believe that if Maine took the trou-
Bile to advertise for, welcome and en-
tertaln strangers in the summer, that
Florida does in winter, she would
soon be doubly famous as Summer
playground" Every citizen here is
a booster for the state.
On the evening of Jan. %, a "Tour-
lists welcome" meeting was held in
the Methodist church here. The gal
leries and floor of the big church
were filled to overflow. After a fine
entertainment, the people We're asked
to stand and be counted as the names
of their states were called There
were ten from Maine. William Jen-
ninss Bryan was in the city Thurs
day. He was speaking to interest
the people of Florida in establishing
a building for religious training at
their state university. The law does
not allow State aid for this purpose.

plain to me that we were only vast
ing time trying to get an appropria
ton for a bridge where Mr.. Carlton
wants it. He expressly stated before
EX Governor Cobb at a restaurant
down to Bath, that unless he could
have it where he wanted it he would
''work like He'll against it, If
remember correctly these were his
words. Now he has had the whole
field and the legislature to himself,
and no one has bothered him. If he
has strength enough in this legis-
lature to carry it through, all well
and good, but ! want it distinctly
understood that | do not recommend
Il three million dollar appropriation
for purpose of building this bridge
simply to enhance the value of Mr..
Cartoons property and accommodate
Il few citizens of Bath. A large num-
Der of them have expressed them
selves opposed to it. Some letters
have been printed which will confirm
this statement. and if l were a citizen
of Bath | would not want my harbOr
barred up with a bridge. I have
said this many times, and see no rea-
son to modify the statement. | feel
confident that bridge can be built
at Richmond Ferry cheaper than any
other place that would accommodate
the majority of people. If the con-
templated road is put through to
Lewiston and Auburn, from Rich
| mond it will certainly turn that
travel in direct course to Wiscassct
and save twenty miles Of travel.
1t is the opinion of people who well
understand the situation that one
million dollars would build good
substantial bridge which would ac-
commodate all classes of travel and
be operated for quarter of the
amount that it would cost to operate
bridge down to Bath. So it seems
to me that if we are going to have
any bridge legislation. we had better
have it on sound, wise proposition,
and build bridge that the State can
afford to pay for, that would accom-
modate the present and future travel.
After due consideration. [ feel justi-
fled in recommending this Richmond
Bridge in preference to any other
location, and ! trust that the Legis-
lature will take this view Of it.
Everybody seems to want bridge,
but they do not want to put out three
or five million dollars for bridge
when one million dollar bridge will
do the same work.

Boothbay Harbor, Feb. z.
Editor of the Kennebcc Journal,
Augusta, Maine.
Ny dear Sir:
1t has been quite we'll advertised
that have been personally identified
with the promotion of the Kennchec
Bridge. Up to January first, | was
its manager and attended to all the
work that was done. l organized the
association and two years ago l
presented a bill for charter in be
half of the organization under
authority voted me at that time at
a meeting of said organization, and
there was no opposition to it, but by
some means yet unexplained the
bill was referred to the next lcgis-
lature. This year we held our meet
ings in September. October and
November, and created a good deal
of interest in Knox and Lincoln
Counties. 1t became my duty to
solicit funds to pay for survey
across the kennebec River for a
bridge. When l had collected suffic-
lent funds, l engaged an engineer to
do the work. So far as the sound
ings were concerned they were taken
by competent engineer from Boston.
When these soundings were shown to
me in blue-p print, it showed a
formation of the bottom of the river
at Bath near the Ferries. and my
courage left me so far as building
bridge in that locality for the rea-
son that we had too much water and
mud to contend with. and that con-
sidered il. and so did many others,
an engineering impossibility, or at
least it would cost more money than
this state could afford to pay.
Then l was requested by Mr.. Carl
ton to give up any further work and
leave it all to him. which / gladly
did. l was not seeking for fame or
gain, but l simply wanted bridge
somewhere across the kennebec
River. Recent events have made it
