Senate Passes Bill Providing
One-Cent Boost to Sec
ond Reading With
Amendment.
LARGER CITIES OPPOSED
Daily NejdI and Hodges
Lead Attack on Cam
Measure.

Although strenuously opposed by
Senators from the larger cities OF
the State, the Cam bill providing
an Increase OF one cent in the pres
ent two-cent gasoline tax, passed to
second reading in the Indiana SEN
ate today by vote Of "a to 10.
The vote was taken on a motion
by Senator Nejdl, Whiting, Repub-
lican floor leader, indefinitely to
postpone further consideration of
the bill, after the Roads Committee
had submitted divided report.
The minority report. submitted by
Senator Chambers, Newcastle, and
Payne. Bloomington, Democrats, rec
ommending passage with an amend
nent to give cities and towns one
fourth Of the extra cent to use in
improving their streets, was adopted
after Nejdl's move to postpone was
lost.
Senator Daily, Indianapolis, spoke
strongly against any increase.
Entire Tax Denounced
Indianapolis pays one-sixth of
the entire gas tax now and gets none
of the money" he said.
Hodges. Gary. Republican, made a
ringing speech denouncing the whole
gas tax as unfair and unsound in
theory
"Why not tax every bushel of
wheat sold, every stiff hat bought?"
he shouted.
Nedjl vigorously denounced any
increase because, he said, the auto
owner is being taxed beyond limit. !"
"The auto owner pays luxury
tax when he buys his car" he said.
"FIe pays personal tax on t., u
license tax and the 2-cent gas tax.
we have gone far enough in this
direction. 1t matters not to me
whether this increase is part OF the
budget committees plan. or of the
Governors. 1t is a matter of Justice
to the people who foot the bill. We
must not expect to pave all the roads
in the State in a couple Of years
at the expense OF the auto owner.
Committee Members Differ
Payne pointed out that Indian
apoIis would get $126.0OO under his
amendment, from the gas tax In
crease. Each city and town would
get AZ cents year for each in
habitant, he said. In addition, the
counties get three-fourths Of the ex-
ira cent for county roads, and the
State highway commission gets to
keep the entire other Q cents.
Chambers said that with 2 cents
the commission in the next few
years will have 5000 miles Of
State roads paved.
6This gas tax enables the coun-
ties to cut. down their tax rates on
property, too" he said.
Moorhead, a member of the
budget committee OF the State, said
the committee never figured for any
Increase in the gas tax, and voted
to kill the bill. Chambers, also a
member of the budget committee,
voted for it.

Yea, verify, the way of the

whether he be plain or beautiful
ascetic or athletic, he possesseth

He is more quick to divine her
wishes than good butler and
more thoughtful for her comfor.
than a trained nurse. Bat a

The Complete Lover flattereth
every woman with his eyes and Il

T your right hand. In order to
travel east you must lay out your
course so that 1t corresponds with
the line leading to the mark z
on the disk Of the compass. This
Is at q right angle to the needle.
AS you go on stop from time to
time and consult the compass In
order to keep your course always
in the same direction with refer.
ence to the needle.
Perhaps the clearest explana-
ton Of how to handle q pocket
compass may be given by con.
sidering what Cap must have
done in the Pathfinder" story.
He and his guide saw the dis.
tant smoke by climbing q tall
tree. When they descended,
cap" knew that they would no
longer see the smoke. So he
"set it by compass;" /. O., he
noted by his compass what the
direction Of the smoke was with
reference to the pointing OF the
needle. After descending to the
ground, then, all he had to do
was to consult his compass &C.
casionally, to see that the direc-
ton taken by his Indian guide
continued to be at the same angle
to the needle as was the direc-
ton in which he had seen the
smoke from the tree-top.
And yet 1t must be acknowl-
edged that the Indians apparent
~ instructive sense of direction
based upon indications so habitually
and unconsciously recognized that
he himself was hardly able to ex-
plain them, might at times prove
more trustworthy than those OF
a compass, for local Accommodations
OF iron and other disturbing ele-
ments sometimes render the COM
pass utterly unreliable. Still, /
would advise nobody to go off
alone in any part of the country
far from habitations, and particu-
larly in large forested regions
and among mountains. without
having a pocket-compass and
knowing how to use it.

( pole Of the earth. but the direc-
ton in which it does point IL
somewhat different in different
parts of the world. Only along a
sinuous line running through the
middle Of the United States does
the needle indicate true north.
But for ordinary purposes Of
path-.finding this variation Of the
compass may be disregarded.
Suppose you are lost in the
woods and do not know in what
direction to find your way out.
Then the compass will enable
you to follow any straight line
that you may choose. Assume
that you decide to go east. Hold
your compass level, or better. set
it down on a level support, so
that the needle can come to rest.
In all compasses the north-point- !,
ing end OF the needle Is colored
blue or red, or given some other
unmistakable mark to distinguish
it from the south-p pointing end.
The pointing of the needle will
then show where north is. AS
the needle settles down to rest
turn the compass so that the
mark N corresponds with the
north point of the needle. Now
facing north you have east on
