Ft. Lee Site Highest
Along the Hudson
Gives Finest View

Charles Thomas Logan, Esq,
Editor of The Palisadian,
Palisade, New Jersey.
Dear Sir:
| was very much interested in the
article ON Hudson View in Fit. Lee,
Finer Than Moscow's Famed by Ma
poleon - on the first page of The
Palisadian of February 6.
Any resident of New Jersey who
has not been to the spot described
has missed one of the greatest views
OF the world
Am | right in believing that the
actual site of the historic Fort Lee
is the property of the Inter State
Park Commission, and am | right in
saying that it was a gift from James
Douglas of Spuyten Duyvil, who had
so much to do with the early preser-
walton of the park?

RoCkEFElLER'S CATHEDRAL
PROPOSAL

In reply to John d. Rockefeller sue-
gestion which accompanied his Seoo,-
900 gift to the Episcopal Catnedral
fund. that other denominations be rep
resented on the Board of Trustees Oh
the Cathedral, Bishop Manning is
quoted as saying: "The time has not
vet arrived when the different church
es can function in one organization.
The comment on the views OF the
good Bishop by Haywood Broun is
worth a frame in hall OF WISDOM
He says: Il did not quite understand
from the Bishops letter precisely why
the time has not yet arrived MY
notion is that an excellent way in
which to start new dispensation is
iust to pitch in and make beginning.
Possibly the Bishop meant to imply
that the beginning of union might bet
ter be deferred until some man or
more liberal vision was at the head or
the diocese in which the Cathedral
stands"
Why not dedicate the Cathedral to
Protestants, Catholics, Jews-all the
people, without regard to any creed?
If the splendid spirit implied in Rookie
felIers suggestion and Broun's wis
dom was adopted it would be worth
more to New York City than a dozen

An answer to Haywood Broun:

to all people of whatever creed or be-
lief to help build an Episcopal
Cathedral for everybody. He would
not have authority to dedicate the
Cathedral to Protestants, Catholics or
Jews, and Catholics and Jews. would
neither expect it nor desire it. There
are thousands of Protestants who con-
tribute to Catholic and Jewish relief
every year, and it doesn't make them
violate their Protestant standards. Ed
itor Enders of the Ridgefield Park
Bulletin is generally accorded the
position of being broad and liberal,
but it i'll becomes him to say: "lf the

One of the most notable advances
made by modern cars has been in the
direction Of easier and more quiet
operation. The prevalence of women
and even children in their upper teens
as drivers of cars is perhaps the best
testimonial of the great strides that
have been made by automobile engi-
neers along these lines.

How to Check Up on Gas
When He Fills the Tank

On pumps making one-gallon deliv-
cry see that the pump operator makes
full stroke and that the piston trav-
els its full length.
Keep your eyes on the indicator
showing the quality of gas being
pumped into your tank.
See that the operator drains the de-
livery hose properly. Many operators
have a trick Of creating an airlock in
the hose which keeps the gasoline
from flowing.
Beware of filling stations where tbs
delivery is outside and the pump in
side the building.
Short delivery Is frequently caused
by leaks In the supply line to the
pump. This condition causes the pump
to deliver air instead of gasoline. Lis

If the gasoline is low in the supply

This can be detected by the irregular

WAY OF FINANCING
FEDERAL AID ROADS

Some very interesting facts about
the true source of the governmental
income used to build federal aid roads
have recently been brought to light by
the investigation of the American AS
ISOLATION of State Highway Officials
into bodybuilding finances.
One of the most interesting facts
shows that though some states pay
heavily into the federal treasury, the
real source of. revenue paid by them
comes from other states.
To illustrate this point, the associa-
tion cites the cases of Michigan and
North Carolina. Seventy-three per
rent of the automobile excise taxes
paid in this country are paid by the
state of Michigan. "But this money"
the association finds, "comes from the
entire country. The taxpayers of
Michigan do not really pay the 10 per
cent of the total revenue which the
state sends to the federal treasury. for
almost half of Michigan's total fed
eral tax is the excise tax paid on mo-
tor vehicles and this tax is paid by the
buyers of motor vehicles who live In
every state in the Union. These states
pay the money to Michigan and Michi-
gan forwards 1t to the United States
treasury
The same situation exists in North
Carolina. Here large revenue pay
ments are made by the tobacco COM
pany In this state Sc per cent of the
federal revenue comes from tobacco in
its manufactured form. This revenue
which tobacco manufacturers send to
the federal government is not obtained
from the citizens of North Carolina
but from tobacco users wherever they
may be. So while North Carolina is
theoretically credited with large con-
tributions to federal income, persons
living outside the state in reality pay
much of the money credited to North
Carolina.
This situation" says the associa-
ton, lis typical of many states which
are heavy contributors to the federal
treasury. Basic wealth, that is wealth
based on the annual value of the prod
ucts of the mine, the forest, and the
farm, really is paying the bill, regard
less of where the final checks come
FROM
Some states, the association finds,
are forwarding taxes on property not
located within that state. New York,
for example, sent 22.8 per cent of the
national corporation tax paid by manu-
featuring, while Pennsylvania sent in
but II per cent. The manufacturing
plants and equipment were valued in
New York at $2,13S,S97, 600 while the
value for Pennsylvania was 81, 1915, 873.-
600 Since New York paid more than
twice as much as Pennsylvania on less
valuation, the association concludes,
that there are manufacturing corpora
lions whose charters or office loca-
tons cause them to pay income tax in
New York on property located else
where.
The conclusion drawn from these
Iacts is that the degree of financial re-
sponsibility for each state is equltably
traced through comparison of per-
centages of population. basic wealth
and total wealth. rather than through
internal revenue payments.
