STATE ROAD BADLY
IN NEED OF REPAIR

North and South highway between
Grangeville nd Whitebird, particular
ly near the divide, is badly in need Of
repair, according to travellers on the
road. The state is doing no work on
the highway. Melting snow is re-
sponsible for rapid erosion on the
freshly-cut road, with the result that
the'roadbed is being cut away in
places. A small expenditure of money
at the present time in properly Drain
ing the road. will mean ii great saving
in the long run, it is pointed out.

GAS BILL WILL
NETHUGE SUM.
TOR0AD WORK.
More Than 100000 Antici-
pated for Maintenance of
Highways Throughout Idaho
Measure Will Become Opera
tive About April 1; $4,000
Autos Registered in State


Estimates of revenue to be derived
from Idaho's 2-cents- gallon gaso-
line tax place the amount the highway
fund will receive at more than $780,
600 for the 2-year period.
1t is thought by state officials that
the law will be in operation in the
state shortly after April 1, as the bill
authorizing the tax is an emergency
measure and will not await tho
usual, sixty days after the adjourn
ment Of the session before becoming
effective.
From Other States
The estimate of the revenue which
the state will derive from the gasoline
tax for highway purposes is based on
information from five other west
ern states having a gasoline tax
law that has been in operation from
two to three years. Most of these
states have the 2-cent tax, while 9TH
ers added an additional cent this year
with tax of 21@ cents gallon.
From a compilation of the informa-
ton furnished by these states,
showing the total revenues and the
number Of cars registered, it is found
CnaC the average car III edcn OIL tneSt
five states consumed 391 gallons of
gasoline year, or yearly revenue
from each car operated of $7.S2 for a
2-cent tax. For the approximately
$4,000 cars registered in Idaho each
year, the total revenue would be $780,
900.
1923 Revenue Less
Revenues for 1923, however, will be
reduced because of the law not going
into effect until about April 1, and it
is estimated that the receipts for this
year will be approximately $235, 900.
The total for the 2-year period
would therefore be 100000.
Machinery for collecting the tax is
being worked out by the commissioner
of law enforcement, the state official
named in the bill as the authorized
person to whom the tax is to be paid.
When collected, the money will be
placed in the highway fund of the
state, to be used by the commissioner
of public works in the construction or
of highways of the state.

This official announcement was
made by DR.. Antoine Olyntho, com
missioner general of the United States,
Colonel d. C. Collier.
So far the exposition has not been
a financial success but the new COM
missioner general who was appointed
by the minister of justice to replace
DR.. Ferreira Ramos of Sac Paulo be-
Ieves that he can put 1t on a paying
basis.
This is the reason for hi technical
closing of the exposition on the date
schedulde-March 81. When the
present exposition closes all contracts
for its operation will expire auto
motically-and new contracts will be
signed. at lower figures.
In reality. Of course the Exposition
will not close at all. and the action
of the commissioner general consti-
tutes merely an extension of the
closing date until June 80.
Decision to prolong the big show
was caused by several factors.
