John Geuting received a letter
last week from his brother A. H..
Geuting of Philadelphia in which the
writer says he has just completed a
book of the history of the Geuting
family, the book being the outcome
of a request from the Pennsyl-
vania Historical Society for the facts
regarding the family history of all.
The families in that state whose an
cestory can be traced back for many
generations. The historical society
found they could trace this family
back to the sixth century. This was
an, inspiration to Mr.. Geuting, to get
the data and write a complete ac-
count, which he has had bound in
book form with the family crest on
the cover, with hope of inspiring
their posterity to live up to the hon
orable precepts set for them by their
ancestors.

Cooperative Creameries
Asked to Back Selling Plan
State Association Reveals Renewed
Effort by Chain Stores to Block
Pool-Minnesota Is Organized

We hope there is no creamery in
the state that will help the American
Stores Co. in its fight to block cream
cries in their effort to establish their
own marketing program" says an
official statement issued last week by
officers of the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries' Association.
The statement recites the fact that
the American Stores Co. has notified
creameries whose butter it has been
buying that "Signing any agreement
which conflicts with you dealing di-
rect with US" will result in a demand
for the immediate return of equip
ment for printing butter which the
company sells under it's own private
brand.
obviously" says A. J. Mcclure,
general manager "the plan of chain
store has been to hold a club over
creameries by refusing to buy butter
from farmer-owned plants, the di-
rectors of which sign the associa-
tons marketing agreement. We
have information supporting the
statement that the chain store ex-
poets to obtain its supplies from
other creameries. The whole cues
ton of establishing a state butter
marketing agency depends upon the
loyalty of creameries. If creameries
work together and refuse to follow
the dictation of the chain store, in a
very short time we will be in position
to give all member creameries as
good or a better outlet than the chain
store has provided in the past. But
if creameries permit themselves to be
victimized by the present effort to
disrupt plans for state sales agency,
cooperative marketing will be great
ly hampered. We hope no creamery
will help this company in its fight on
the state association /"
The Creamery Association has sew
ersl letters supporting its statement
that statewide campaign against
the sales plan is under way.

Too Much for Maintenance

Of course, the traffic season
was unusually long last year, but
it has shown up one thing; ordinary
surfaces on some of the trunk high
ways won't stand up under continued
traffic. And the expense Of MAIN
ing gravel roads under heavy traffic
conditions is taking lot more money
than is efficient and economical. Not
only this, but we haven't been get
ting the money originally agreed up
on from automobile uicenses. The
Babcock good roads amendment, un-
der which the highway system was
established, provided for the tax to
average SIS per car. It has never
been as high as that and in 1924 will
be only about SIG per car. Two dol
lars car doesn't make much differ
ence to the car owner for year, but
it amounts to something like $780,
900 in the good roads fund.-St.

Democratic Leaders Confer.
Democratic leaders held confer
ences last night and again today in
efforts to determine a party stand on
the full cash payment option ques-
ton, and meanwhile Democratic
members of the finance committee
withheld minority report on the
bill favoring such action. Senator
Walsh, Massachusetts, Democratic
member of the committee. however.
said he might press a substitute bill
providing full cash payments in addi-
tion to the insurance provision of the
present bill.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis-
sippi, asked Senator Curtis from the
floor last night to determine the
Presidents attitude on the pending
bill, promising that if assurance was
given that he would approve it, the
Democrats would give up their cash
option plan and expedite it's passage.

WILL SEND COOLIDGE
OPINION ON GAS TAX
Commissioners, However, Will Not
Go to Point of Urging
Veto of Bill.
HAVE OPPOSED MEASURE
Legislation Submitted to Them for
Final Criticism.

The District Commissioners this
afternoon will send to President
Coolidge their final opinion on the
gasoline tax bill, which now needs
only his signature to make it law.
Ii is reliably learned that the city
heads will not go so far as to rec
ommend veto of the measure, but
will inform the President on the
stand they have consistently taken
in opposition to the legislation as
passed by Congress.
1t is customary for the President.
before signing any bill affecting the
District, to call upon the Commits
sioners for a last expression of opin-
ion. The gasoline tax measure came
to them in accordance with that
policy.
Purpose of Bill.
The bill was drafted solely to bring
about automobile reciprocity with
Maryland and was not proposed with
any thought of increasing taxation.
The purpose was merely to change
the basis OF taxation from horse
power to gasoline consumed.
The original bill called for charge
of 81 for tags and 2 cents per gallon
on gasoline. which, it was estimated,
would raise about the same amount
of revenue now derived from the
horsepower fee and the personal tax
on automobiles. They proposed
therefore, that the personal tax or
automobiles be dropped with the
adoption of the levy on gasoline.
Congress retained the personal tax
as well as the gas tax, which will re
suit in the collection of approximate
ly half a million dollars additional
from automobilistS.
The impression prevailed at the
District building today that the letter
to the President would recite this
previous stand and possibly call at
tention to the opposition to the meas
ure among citizens.
AS enacted the bill provides that
the money derived from gas tax shall
be kept as separate fund to the
credit of the District for use only in
improving and repairing the highway
system.
Although the presumption has been
that Congress would have to match
this fund with n 40 per cent contribu-
tion from the federal government II
order to live up to the present fiscal
agreement between the nation and
the Capital, citizens are somewhat
fearful that the language of the bill
is not specific enough to protect the
60-40 principle.
There is some apprehension over
whether Congress would continue to
make the regular annual appropria-
tions for street work in addition to
the street fund created by the gaso-
line tax.
