Recommend Gasoline and Billboard
Taxes

I'VE recommend a tax of at least
one cent per gallon on all gasoline
sold within the State and that the tax
be collected from the distributors.
which tax it is estimated would yield
an approximate income of 100000 a
year and we recommend the follow
ing division of the income: 65 per
cent for maintenance of highways
and IS per cent for rural market
roads in addition to whatever sums
are now available for these pur-
poses.
I'VE also recommend that some tax
or license be placed on billboards To-
Gated within a defined distance from
the highway. believing that the
States expenditures on its roads
has contributed to the income from
this method of advertising and that
it should bear some just proportion
of it's expense. The sum received

1.-THE abuse l Ind in mind is the
imposition upon fraternal relation
ship to promote selfish ends. Per
haps n recital Of n hometown expert
ence will Illustrate my point, There
came to our town two brothers to
engage in a mercantile enterprise.
One Joined tho Methodist church and
the other the Presbyterian. Still
business failed to move with n whlrl.
Their one Joined the Masons and the
other the knights Of Pythias. They
picked out the churches with the
larger congregations. and the fra
ternities with the larger membership.
Some local observer wondered at
these divergent incllnations in two
brothers and there was comment
about IT,. Here was fraternity being
played FOR selfish ends. We had an
other fraternity. rare in kind and
transltory in existence. which dealt
with mems idiosyncrasics and foibles
and im"oorfcctlons. 1t was n fraternal
play ground which witnessed rough
play and performed many a surgery
in character. So the lure Of mem
borship in the ancient and honorable
order OF Haymakers was held out to
the joining merchants. and they fell
for o.. The fee was very modest and
