Gas Tax IS
Used in Many
Different WAYS
SYSTEM is IN DANGER BECAUSE
OF LOOSENESS OF EXPENDI-
TURE OF FUNDS COLLECTED
FROM MOTORISTS.

A considerable portion of the gas
ofine tax paid by motorists in the past
year was diverted from road purposes
and applied to other uses, ranging
from the development of fish hatch
cries to paying the salaries of politi-
cal henchmen attached to state legis-
latures, according to A. NJ. Loomis Of
the National Grange, who made an in
vestigation of the subject for the
American Automobile association.
MI. Loomis found that more than
100000 collected from motorists,
ostensibly for good roads was used
for something else. North Dakota
turned all it's gasoline returns
into the general fund, while Montana
put 40s per cent in the general fund.
South Carolina and Georgia diverted
one-third to the general fund. Texas
put nearly 100000 in the free
school found. New Mexico spent most
of it's gas tax money for roads, but
did use some to develop fish. Pensyl-
vania raised more than $9,O0O,0O0
from it's gas tax and $500, 900 did not
go for roads. Maryland kept nearly
$500,000 out of the road fund, accord
ing to statement by the American
Automobile association.
Admitting the equitable character of
the tax, which now has been adopted
by 43 states and the District of CO.
lumbia, Mr.. Loomis, nationally
known expert on taxation, foresees the
destruction of the gas tax structure
unless two tendencies are forthwith
discontinued. These tendencies are:
First, misappropriation of the tax
to other than road purposes; second
the disposition to pyramid the tax by
adding cent or two at a time.
81 wonder if, in tapping the golden
flow of cash for the purchase of pow
er, we have not Opened the door to
new kind of gold digger" Mr..
Loomis warned.
Gasoline tax barring extraordi-
nary circumstances, is an easy way
to get this money out of the users
Of the highway. 1t is just the fact that
this is so easy and so based on the
average honesty and good intentions

Parents Seek
Lillian PraiI
GIRL DISAPPEARED MONTH AGO
WITH VAIL ALDRIDGE; TAKE
FATHERS CAR AND LEAVE
DURING THE NIGHT.

Lillian, 14-year old daughter of
Nh. and Mrs. Prail, and Vail AL
bridge, a young man whom the
Prails had befriended and allowed
to stay at their home, disappeared be-
tween midnight and daylight on May
20, 1925. They took Mr.. Prail's auto
mobile, a Little Six Studebaker, No
satisfactory word has since come
from the runaways. Until this time
the matter has been kept quiet in
the belief that they might return.
With that hope abandoned Mr.. and
Mrs. Prail appealed to their pastor
to assist them in locating their daugh-
te:.
Rising early on the morning of
May 20, Mr.. Prail who is highway
patrolman, noticed the garage door
open and the car gone. He went up
stairs to call his SONY and noticed
that Aldridge was not in his room.
A moment later the daughters abb
sence was also noted. A note was
found in Lillian's room telling her
to come to Aldridge's room that
night when all was quiet. The girl
took no extra garments with her and
neither of the young people had any
money. 1t was thus believed that
they would not travel far.
On June II Mrs. R. E. Kunzman
of Pipestone, sister Of Aldridge, tele-
phoned Mrs. Prail that the young
people had arrived safely at Spokane
Falls, Washington and were at the
home of a brother of Aldridge. This
is now questioned, for a telegram
was Immediately sent to the sheriff
at Spokane Falls, who replied that
the boy and girl had left for home
on June Is. This is the only word
the parents have had.
MI. and Mrs. Prail have reason to
suspect that the telephone call from
Pipestone and the telegram from
Spokane Falls, were misleading and
that their daughter is secreted some-
where in Minnesota or other nearby
states. This opinion is gained from
the knowledge that Aldridge had no
money and their daughter no cloth
ing to make long trip, unless the

and if your Chattel Mortgages do not
contain this Mortgagor's Receipt do
not blame your Register of Deeds if
they are returned to you without be-

persons who are in habit of making
out Chattel Mortgages see to it that
their Mortgages are made out in tri-
