years ago, January 18th, 1922.
Cut off in life, no warning given.
Death struck the fatal blow,
The hands that rest forever

But in Heaven we hope to meet
You, where no farewell word are

Thou art gone but not forgotten,
Fresh our love shall always be
For as long as there is memory
We shall always think Of thee.
You win never be forgotten,
Never shall your memory fade.
Sweet thoughts shall ever IinQer,
Round the grave where you are laid.

FRIDAY. JANUARY %. 1928.
IT'S JUST AND FAIR

III - JUSl ANIL IhiN
To those former members OF
the State Senate who as SEN
ators oppose the gasoline tax APP
piled direct to thsToads and now
as private citizens are continuing
this opposition, we would like to
call attention to the fact that
three hundred years ago the
Justice of imposing upon users OF
roads the cost of their con-
structiou and maintenance was
appreciated and adopted.
As far back as 1861 we are
told that 400 coaches operating
in London and vicinity were re-
luired to pay taxes to use the
roads and the money expended to
pave and maintain the streets.
The gasoline tax is the fairest
and best tax for roads yet de-
vised. 1t places the burden di.
rectly and proportionately upon
those who use and injure the
roads.
The tax on such gasoline used
by farmers and others in station
airy engines is rebated. The cost
of collection is practically moth.
ing, as it is collected from the
source. namely from the whole.
sale oil companies shipping into
the state.
Last year the three cent tax
collected S3,119, $4,000 which
was in excess of all estimates.
The cost of collection as Just an
nounced by the motor vehicle de-
partment was only SIS. 100.
If this tax had been collected
as real estate and other taxes the
cost would have been FIVE per
cent or In excess of $3.50. 000
yearly.
For 1925 it is estimated that
the three cent gasoline tax will
yield in excess of So, 100000 and
the cost of collection should no:
increase.
Again the gasoline tax is
possibly the only tax in Virginia
that is paid one hundred per
cent. 1t is paid upon the rail-
road receipts of all gasoline
shipped into the state and no de-
duction is made for evaporation.
1t therefore combines, la just
and reasonable tax which is
collected proportionately to the
damage inflicted on the high
ways BY the several classes on
motor vehicles and is then ex.
pended for good roads which
yield a direct return to those
who pay. 2-It is tax collected
practically without cost and. 3
1t is collected one hundred per
cent.
Yet ia face of these facts
certain men prominent in Vir-
GINA did their utmost to defeat
the three cent gasoline tax and
predicted the defeat of any
public man who had the courage
to support this tax,
In the face of this opposition
1t il gratifying that other public
men had the foresight and
courage to support the gasoline
tax, which is now putting Vir-
ginia to the forefront of all
states ia constructing a compre.
hensive state highway system
without placing upon our child
rem, grandchildren and their
children, great burdens of i'm
debtedness.
Virginia consistent with her
historic traditions is leading the |
way and by actual achievement
is accomplishing what has been
said to be impossible. VIM
