CALIFORNIA; New
Gas Tax Act Will
Bring in Millions
Two Cents q Gallon on Guso-
line and q So Registration
Fee is Demanded

San Francisco, Calf, 20 n
September /, next, the new Cali
fornia motor vehicle laws will &c
into effect, making it compulsory
for motorists to pay a tax Of two
cents gallon on all gasoline pur-
chased, plus So registration fee
on all automobiles, irrespective
of horsepower. The new gasoline
tax, the California State Auto
mobile Association says, will
mean the collection of S37,0O0,-
900 f r the conctrtction nd
maintenance of state and county
roads during the uext two fiscal
years.
The tax will be paid by the
refneries and will be passed on
to the public in form a two-cent
increase in the price Of gasoline.
This the automobile associa-
tion officials declare, means that
the California motorist will be-
gin paying for the use of the
roads and highways in much the
same way he pays for electricity
gas and water. A motorist will
be metered for the use of the use
of the highways and will pay for
their maintenance in proportion
to the amount and kind of use
he makes of these roadways.
"On September l, when the
new motor vehicle laws go into
the average California
who ownes an automo-
bile and operates it for personal
and pleasure purposes will begin
paying an average annual tax Of
1884 for the maintenance and
reconstruction of highways and
roads Of this state.
Some motorists, of course, will
pay more than 1884, and some
will pay less. Commercial auto
which are largely sales
mems and travelling mems cars,
lse the highways to the extent |
If $1,000 miles a year on the
lverage, and will pay about S28, |
while busses and stages, consum-
ng more gas per mile, will pay
.bout $38 year on an average

| Under a broiling sun, unccm
Portable in some degree to thu
fans, but ideal from the stand
point of the fighting man, Jack
Dempsey on yesterday Afternoon
successfully defended his title as
heavyweight champion of the
world. Although Dempsey won
the champ knowss he has beer
through the hardest fight of his
ring career, and the loser came
off with almost as much glory as
| the winner.
Perhaps 10000 persons saw
! Gibbons stand up to the champ
ion, match him punch for punch
in the infghting, which is Demp-
sey's speciality, and from time to
time rock Jack with his lett
hooks that had lots of kick to
them. Toward the end of the
bout he tired somewhat, and took
severe punishment about the face
and body. He was not badly
hurt, however, covering up most
of the time as he successfully
withstood the champions fercest
attacks, and taking everything
that Dempsey could give him.
The large crowd that watched
the contest was a Gibbons crowd
in every sense of the word. And
they watched Tom take a fierce
beating for ten rounds without
ever backing up.
In the infghting Dempsey was
the challenger's superior, b u t
when he tried his hand at boxing
Tom cracked him two blows to
one. The fact remains that if
ever a man is game, Tommy Glib
bons is that man. The blows
that Dempsey launched, and
sometimes landed, were the iden-
tical blows that knocked out Will
lard. Brennan. Miske and Carp-
enter. This was demonstrated
in the sixth round, when, after
with his left. the champ
followed with right that con-
nected and knocked the challeng-
er against the ropes in a dazed
condition. Wonderful defensive
however, kept him out
Of serious danger.
The fight was one which was
worth coming miles to see, and
definitely established Tom Glib
oons as the one man to be classed
with the champion.
The weights as announced from

GOOD ADVICE. TO
POLITICAL LEADERS

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
President of Columbia University,
gives voice to some excellent con-
illusions in a recent address made in
New York. He says among other
things that there are now five polit-
ical issues of paramount Importance
before the country, viz: The rail-
roads, prohibition, our foreign pol
icy, taxation and the problems of
agriculture. He also adds, with abb
solute truth, that politicians have
, never dared to come out ~flatfooted-
ly and in a broad national sense on
the prohibition question. He says
that the party that lodges the pro-
hibition issue next year will be
showed under in many states.
at will be no USE" says this
noted educator, "to put up as party
slogans such catch-phrases as Pros
perity, Law Enforcement and the
like, which are meaningless subter-
fuges and about which there can be
no difference of opinion. The pro-
hibition question has been kept out
of national platforms in the past,
but it can be ignored no longer; it
is vital"
All this is true with a vengeance.
Whether you are in favor Of prohi-
bition or opposed to it, there can be
no question but that it has caused
more political side-stepping, jockey
ing, lodging and ~subterfuge than
n other back to n point where
the of man runneth not to
the contrary. 1t might have been
the bubonic plague, so fare as ma.
tional platforms went. A wet"
plank has been unknown. A dry
plank at most has been a scanthng
hiding under the guise of such gen
eral and footless terms as Law En-
forcement.' OF COURSE we want
Law Enforcemment." No .politi-
cal party would be able to exist for
ten minutes that did not favor it in
the abstract. But Law Enfroce-
ment" is Just about as colorful and
specific a political issue as Fresh
Air"
It might be well, perhaps, for
the Republicans to adopt the cam
paign slogan pure Water" and
Tho Democrats stake their chances
of success on the glorious issue
"Wholesome Food" Then, by
leaving the League of Nations, pro-
hibition the railroads and all other
vital matters on which there may
c~onceivably be some little differ
ence Of opinion out Of the issue, we
will find out just as little as posi-
BILE about the wishes of America.
Thus our next administration at
Washington, be it Republican or
! Democrats, will be able to know
nothing of what its constituents
want, and will therefore not be
hampered in ignoring them.

MR. FORD SPEAKS

A certain Mr.. Ford, a msnufac-
turer, and it might be added q man
ufacturer of parts, not to mention
accessories, is quoted as saying in
an interview with the Rev. Mr.. Std
ger, of Detroit:
az have never looked for a job,
and l am not looking for one now.
l have the biggest job on earth as
it is"
Presumably this certain Mr.. Ford
was talking about the possibility OF
taking a job as president of the
United States. IN that case, 1t
must be highly h~umiliating to Mr..
Harding to be made to feel that
he and the job some have consider
ed a considerable task are so I'M
important. Perhaps our President
is now wondering why he wanted
such a punk position in the first
place; and why he a for it.
OF course, this certain Mr.. Ford's
best known job is to fill all the
highways and all the nations of the.
earth with the most prolific, album
dant, and fortuituous. flivver, n the
history of the vehicular business.
But perhaps that is not the job Mr..
Ford refers to.
Another job which rests on the
shoulders of this certain Mr.. Ford
is the not inconsiderable task of
taking care of the largest private
fortune in the world. But perhaps
this is not the job Mr., Ford refers
to.
Possibly Mr.. Ford mixed his
lenses, and meant to say he had had
the biggest job in the world; as in
stance the notable peace ship,
Oscar ii. Possibly the gentleman
was referring to his efforts since
his famous libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune, to convince the
world that the Tribune was wrong.
Among many millions of others,
we have great respect for and ad-
miration of the genius of this err
tain Mr.. Ford. But n few more UNI
guarded, unexplained cracks like
that one about the biggest job in
the world" win 20 far toward un-
dcrmining the public confidence in
the balance Of one Of its strongest
presidential possibilities.

Negroes are demanding a full
colored personnel for supervision
and control at the Veterans Bureau
hospital in Alabama. The institu-
ton when it is finished will be one
of the finest Of its kind in the
world, and the inmates thereof Will
be veterans who made sacrifices for
their country and are entitled to
the best.
But are the negroes right in ask
ing a colored personnel for members
of their race? They are just as
much entitled to every. physical,
moral and medical consideration as
the whites. But if a colored per
sonnet is demanded, color and not
competency would be the basis OF
choosing it. That is absurd.
The whole matter lopls as il
southern politics had stuck an un-
warranted finger in the govern
ment pie down in Alabama; and
politics, either southern or north
ern, has no place in n hospital; any
more than has race or religion. IL
the negro inmates of the Alabama
institution do not get the right kind
of treatment, to the best Of the in
stitution's ability, that fact Will
come to light and receive the
prompt treatment it deserves. But
It is not likely that racial discrimi-
nation will dare show its head in q
government hospital for former SOL

GETS A JOLT

In an issue Of the Saturday Even
ing Post some weeks ago, Garet
Garrett, discussing the German sit
uation and hurting the harpoon with
pnerring MIN into the Teutonic
hide, said:
German logic is a state Of feel
ing raised to a state Of mind"
Mr.. Garrett very entertaininsly,
and probably tr~uthfully, went on to
discuss the fact hat Germany has
no feeling of guilt in connection
with the late war, and is very tragic
over her own position. His conclu-
sion is that Germany is distressed;
but not physically. There is SUI
fering in Germany, but not suffer
ing which comes from an empty
stomach. His article, il it may be
taken as a criterion, rs highly illum-
mating. And whether it is a COM
plete statement of fact in regard
to Germany's situation, it will GER
tainly do much to counterfeit any
feeling OF deep sorrow for the
Boche which may be making head
way in some parts of this country.
Comes now Cyril Brown, one of
the best known foreign correspon-
dents, with something of the same
tone. In an article cabled to the
New York Times from Berlin, Mr..
Brown comments on the effect of
Lord Curzon's frosty note to Ger
many. He says ''the tone and con-
tents both recall the unpleasant
fact, comfortably forgotten by most
Germans up to this morning, that
Germany lost the war and must
foot the bill"
This must be particularly discon-
certing to Teutonic equanimity in
view of Bonar Laws resignation
and that chances that a new Brit
ish ministry will be apt to be none
too lenient with German preten-
tons and the efforts of the Cuno
government to get a good bargain.
Curzon himself is quite apt to head
the new ministry. That is not good
news, after the Curzon note which
calls unequivocably for a show
down.
Foreign dispatches generally in
dicate that there is no immediate
likelihood of a crash in the present
German government, and that Cune
will be given more roDe-presum-
ably with which to artistically hang
himself. Wildcap rumors of a gov
eminent crisis in Berlin are not Civ
en- much credence. Meanwhile the
mark flutters wildly, largely in a
precipitate downward direction.
