Lo QUE PEDIA ToUs

Ell parrafo del manifesto del senor
Tous Soto, que sc reiere Cuba, di-
ce:
"Mi parecer es que la Nacion bus
cara encontrara una formula pa
ra la admission en- la Union Federal
de territories discontiguos distinta dc
la seguida en- el curse de la histo-
ria de su expansion territorial, y en
Ia adopci6n de esta formula nos
otros debemos tomar la iniciativa. A
mi iuicio, la Constitution habra dc
enmendarse concediendo facultad al
Congreso para admitir Estados dis
contiguos, a base de una constitu-
cion tornado por ell pueblo de esos
estados en- asamblea constituyente
que, una vez aprobada por ell Con-
greso, no podra revocarse nj alte-
rarse por este (soberania) garanti-
zando dichos estados una forma
republicans de gobierno pleno self
government, pero exceptuando en- to-
do en- parte los mismos de la
operaeion de las leyes fscales de los
Estados Unidos (autonomia econon1i-
cay concediendoles la misma re-
presentation que a los denlas esta-
dos, en- ell Senado y Camara Baja,
con voz en- todos los asuntos y voto
solamente en- los que afecten a sus

feliz amalgama del sistema ingles, en-

Confederation del Africa del Sur y
del sistema federativo americana, I'M
puesta por las condolences especiales

PROBLEMA DE PUERTO RICO,
SINO LOS DE ALASKA, HAWAII,

Esta formula cabe dentro de La So

Can the world get along without the
Bible? Has the Bible helped any in
the advancing OF civilization to its
present standing? II the Bible we're
destroyed now, would the world con-
tinue to advance at its present rate?
And il so how long? After the impress
sion that has been made by the Bible
had been obliterated, would we con-
tinue to go forward?
When you have decided these ques-
tions as regards the world, then decide
them as regards yourself and all in
dividuals. II we take out the Bible
what will we have In its stead?

Kaufman Gets
SeabrOOk Lease

| Shelby, Jan. 20. One of the
most recent deals to pave the way
for developments next spring,
was closed today by VIM. Sea-
brook of Kevin and Joseph A.
Kaufman, attorney and promoter
formerly of Great Falls, now a
resident of Shelby.
Mr.. Seabrook leased to Mr..
Kaufman, a 40-acre tract, sw sw

acres on which the last produc-
ing well was drilled by the Camp
bell interests, which is reported
to be a 200-barrel we'll.
Mr.. Kaufman has agreed to
drill on the property before May

Louis Lilly. local drilling con-

This Is The Easiest Way

State gasoline taxes collected
in 35 out of 48 states at current
low prices for gasolsne from a
considerable portion of it's whole
sale cost.
There are 14,000,000 motor
vehicles now in use in United
States, each consuming an aver
age of 424 gallons of gasoline a
year or an estimated total Of s.
936, 100000 gallons f or 1923.
With present gasoline tax laws
and those proposed, it is probable
that gasoline tax for paid by
automobile users will be $50,000,- :
900.
This tax is perfect ilIustra-
tion of what might be called an
expediency tax. That is, it is the
easiest way to raise the money.
All states will probably adopt it,
raise it as high as possible and
when they figure that they have
reached the limit similar tax
will be applied to some other
commodity.
