More About The Gasoline Tax

More About The Gasoline Tax
Going about the state find there
is more interest in the gasoline tax
than in any other subject being dis
cussed in this campaign, states A. r.
Hirst. The reason is that this tax
offered one direct way of relieving
the general property tax, and the
people are wondering why the only
bill which passed the legislature that
would have relieved general pro-
perty tax was vetoed The bill as
passed, for instance, would have
turned back to the counties ST.
100000 more than they now receive
for maintenance. Because of its
failure to become a law the counties
this year voted S1,500,000 in taxes
for maintenance.
A group of counties this year
voted over 100000 and deposited
it in the treasury to meet federal
aid, as there was not sufficient funds
in the treasury to meet the aid in a
way that would enable the counties
to have certain road work done. Had
the gasoline tax bill been passed this
would not have been necessary.
notice that several strange state
ments have been made in public adj
dresses on the matter Down in Ed
gerton the governor stated that one
objection to the tax is that the retail
err would pay it. This is not correct.
The bill specifically provided that the
wholesaler would pay it. AS gaso-
line reaches the wholesaler it is in
pected by state oil Inspector, and
all that it is necessary for him to do
is to send a duplicate inspection slip
to the secretary of state, and within
a certain time fixed by law the whole
saler must pay the tax under penal
ty.
Then there is a whole lot of talk
about evasion. We have reports
from 35 states in the union which
have this tax, and they say that there
is practically no evasion whatsoever
The Mississippi River, Lake Michigan
and Lake Superior are good barriers
against evasion. The states of Min.
nesota and Michigan will adopt this
form of taxation next year.
If this tax were being evaded as
claimed, is it logical that 35 states in
the union would find it entirely salts.

HEED THE WARNING
Many Hurley People Have Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be
saved Weak kidneys usually expel
a dark, ill-smelling urine, full of
"brickdust" sediment and painful in
passage. Sluggish kidneys often
cause a dull pain in the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired,
languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Pills are for the kidneys
only. There is no better recon-
mended remedy.
Hurley people endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills. Ask your neighbori

The Summer Scratch.

Infection dangers lie hidden in
the summer scratch or slight hruise,
according to the chairman Of a Red
Cross first aid committee. and vaca-
TONERS, especially, win take heed if
they want to avoid the consequence
es attendant to septic poisoning,
which is often fatal
There are Just four things to do:
Apply a germ destroyer, apply a
piece Of steril gauze folded into a
bandage, wrap with a sterile gauze
bapdage and fasten it with adhesive
plaster
Follow these simple precautions
and you can laugh at the doctor
Physicians are generally scarce at
summer resorts anyway and the wise
vacationist will be careful.
Bruises are especially dangerous
in summer, we are told. Vacation
activities, outdoor sports and lake
and seashore pastimes bring frequent
minor scratches
He who axes the time and care TO
guard against infection is the one
who will return from vacation
trim, fit and refreshed and ready to
take up his daily duties again.
A word to the wise should be
sufficient

Our Faith N Good Roads.

Brownie at the end Of his 10000
mile tour reports that the highways
of Wisconsin are in better condition
than ever before at this season of
the year. In sum, they make up a
marvellous system that has no equal
in America. They are the peak of
highway construction and mainten-
ance in all the states.
That result didn't just happen; it
proceeded from a definite cause. We
thought we were building roads out
of gravel and concrete, but we were
building them out of something be-
sides. Those roads were build out
of the faith of the people in a state
highway system, and out of their
faith in the state highway commits
sion that carried on the work Wis
itors from other states, marveling at
our highways, have found the answer
in their management.
Now, with our highway stytem at
the crest of efficiency and use
fulness, we are to see a campaign of
attack; we are to see the seeds of
distrust sown broadcast; we are to
see that faith which builded our high
ways weakened by political sabotage
Such a campaign may cause some
half-hearded friends to turn their
backs on good roads; it may deceive
some who are sincere supporters.
But we do not believe that it will af-
feet the great majority of people
Our highway system means too
much.
Against such an attack the facts
as to he our highway system was
built and is maintained-the main
roads to carry the bulk of the traffic,
the smaller roads to serve local
needs-are the best defense. Each
road suited to the traffic it must bear
has been the slogan, honestly applied.
That, we believe, is not the kind of
soil in which anyone can sow a
campaign of prejudice and false
appeal. Milwaukee Journal

UTAH COMPANY is RECOMMEND
ED BY DISTRICT BOARD AS
BUILDERS OF DAM
Preferred Bid Is 81 400, 900; If Present
PLANS Carry Work Will Begin
During the Month of
November

American Falls, Idaho-The Ameri
can Falls ! reservoir district boar
has recommended to the secretary O.
the interior that the Utah Construc
ton company bid of $1,4O0,000 fol
the construction Of storage dam Of
100000 acre-feet capacity be &C
copied and approved. The boards
recommendation has been mailed t.
the Denver office of the reclamation
bureau.
1t is estimated that the award may
be made by the secretary within ten
days and that work may begin with
in three weeks. 1t is agreed here be-
tween Representatives of the construc-
ton company, the reclamation bureau
and the reservoir board that every
possible means will be employed to
obtain an appreciate amount OF
stored water in the American Falls
reservoir by June, 1925, to protect
water users of the valley against a
recurrence of another shortage.
Recommendation as to the success
full bidder came after two days de-
liberation and study on the part Of
the reservoir board members. In the
final analysis it was found that the
bids were all reasonably close, the
Utah Construction company was the
successful bidder, because it was
found to have the equipment on hand
with which to do the work, had done
similar jobs before and could begin
work Immediately.
The recommendation of the reser
voir board that the contract be award
ed for the low dam follows out the
decision of the secretary of the in
terror that authorization would not be
given for the construction of the high
er dam (1,70O,000 acre-feet capacity
until participating irrigation districts
shall have deposited $950,000 in cash
with the department of the interior.
This sum would be equivalent to
s1.25 per acre-foot for the additional
100000 acre-feet that would be stor
ed by the high dam.
Engineers estimate that irrigation
districts could come in and partici
pate in the storage on the above cost
basis not later than the fall of 1925,
1t which time the dam would be well
IN toward completion. If this should |
AXE place, and the dam be built to
he 100000 acre-feet capacity, the
ot of the stored water would be re-
luced to SIS per acre-foot as against
Y per acre-foot, should the low dam
,e completed. Several upper valley
districts, as well as the Gooding dis
riot, are expected to participate in
he construction. costs at later date.
Should the award be made to the
Utah Construction company as rec
by the reservoir board, En-
liner Paddock, who superintendent
ne construction of the Hetch Hetchcy
am in California, will come to Amer
AN Falls to superintend actual rec
smation service engineer and is re-
uted to be among the best engineers
