In view 6f the fact that the State
Highway Commission has made a
definite Recommendation that the
gasoline tax be increased from one
cent to three cents per gallon, for
the purpose of creating fund for
the reconstruction and hard sur
facing of many Of the older roads,
II may be interesting to the public
I'm general and to motorists in par
ticular to learn what benefits they
may expect to receive al result of
such program. This question is
well answered in the State OF North
Carolina, where the gas tax for sew
eral years has afforded an oppor-
tunity to check up the. mount of
gas consumed by motorists. A let
way Department from Mr.. Page.
Commission Of North Carolina, con-
tains the following information:
II am in receipt of your letter of
the second. asking Information in
regard to the saving in gasoline by
automobiles used over the improved
roads in North Carolina. give you
the following figures:
'In 1920, Just at the beginning of
our good roads development the au-
tomobiles in North Carolina consum-
ed 500 gal. of gas per car for the
year 1920: 400 gal. of gas per car for
the year 1921: 473 gal. of gas per car
for the year 1922: 454 gal. of gas per
car for the year 1925.
Assuming that the average price
of gasoline over the period of four
years was 25c., there was net saw
ing in 1923 over 1920, of course as
suming that the cars ran the same
mileage, of $4,0S5, $500.
II cannot conceive of any reason
other than the improvement of the
road surface causing this reduction
in the amount of gasoline used, and
am, therefore. crediting the improv-
ed roads in North Carolina with this
saving to the car owners, and j
think you can check this wherever
improved roads have been made,
and there has been check made OF
the gasoline consumed"
In connection with the above, II
should be understood that North
Carolina has just completed the ex-
penditure of $65, 100000 of bond
money for paving the state highway
system. These bonds are all carried
as the bonds in Maine are carried
from the income from automobile
registration fees and gas tax. A
dividend of more. than $4,O0O,OOO on
an investment of $65, 5,OOQ, 600 certain
ly looks like a good business propo-
sition. 1t actually figures about SIX
and three-tenths per cent. The leg
islature of North Carolina which
meets this winter is proposing to
make another bond issue of $780,
600, 600 to continue the work Of com.
pleting the state highway system.

Libby Man Invents Grain Shocker.
William f. Peterson, a resident OF
Libby, has obtained a patent on an
automatic grain shocker, which it Is
believed will prove of great conven-

grain fields OF Montana and the mid
dlewest. The machine is attached
to one side of a binder and catches
the bundles of grain as they are tied
and dropped. After eight or ten
bundles have been assembled, the
machine automatically dumps these
in one place. This does away with
the men who have heretofore follow
ed the binder and shocked the grain
as 1t is cut and bound.
