High Gas Tax for Roads

Whether to follow Kentucky lead
or take the alternative of a large
bond issue for roads is the question
now before our legislature in special
just received the governors signature
session. In Kentucky the bill has
just received the governors signature
to raise the gasoline tax to five cents
a gallon effective until July, 1928,
when it reverts to the present tax OF
three cents. This is the means taken
to pay off the state road debt. But
what about present and future needs?
Advocates of the bond issue in Geor-
gia contend that the tax can not keep
pace with the needs, and that the saw
ing by paved roads on present losses
Of depreciation in automobiles of
many million dollars is sufficient to
outweigh all the debt of bond issue
in value, land to keep Georgians out
of the mud is cheaper than to keep
out of debt" This is a question that
appeals to every voter to every fam
lily in the state. Economy, comfort,
education privileges for the country
children and progress for the entire
state depend on its proper solution.
Then let US watch our legislators and
learn what we can of the subject and
of their attitude toward it.

German Memorial Day
For the first time an effort to
establish permanent memorial day
in Germany like that of the United
States is being attempted. While the
government of Germany has not de-
clared as yet the last day of Febru-
airy as legal holiday for memorial
purpose, the society for the Care of
Soldiers Graves has obtained pledges
from virtually all civic and patriotic
associations in Germany to partici-
pate in exercises on that day. Rep
resentatives of the society will look
after German soldiers graves in for
eigD countries. Similar exercises were
observed last year on the Sunday be-
fore Easter, but permanent date
vas not then considered.

Weekend Air Trips
By M;

One of the novel possibilities
opened up by rapid aerial flights is
the instituting Of regular weekend
trips from large and distant cities
even London to resorts in Switzer-
land or the Riviera. A regular serv-
ice of air-taxis is operating, leaving
London early in the morning stopping
by Paris for other passengers and
landing on the ice at st. Moritz in
about seven hours. American women
have been among the first hostesses
carrying parties of eight or ten with
them on such social stunts.

Films Used to Teach
Americans probably make more
miles of films than any other nation
but Sweden leads us in the more eff
fective use of films in education. In

Agriculture makes frequent releases

cultural betterment.
January Inaugurations
Again the question is before Con-
gress as to a change in the inaugur-
alton date, the general opinion being
that March 4th is too long after the
election to give early enough change
to the administrative policies that
have been endorsed in the November
election, especially when an old Con-
gress sitting on December LIST inter-
venes. The will of the people may
many times be long time deferred in
execution by the present arrange
ment. The question of change has
come before Congress at other times
but never so urgently as at this time.
Of course the ultimate decision rests
with the states as it reqU,ts :, con-
stitutional amendment. There seems
little doubt that a change 20 make

guration of the president occur on
January 1st following the election
will meet with almost unanimous

Did You Ever Take
an INTERNAL Bath?
Bv T. A. BALLANTYNE
Why Take an Internal Bath?

Why Take an Internal Bath:
Here is why: The intestinal
tract is the waste canal Of the
body. Due to Our soft foods,
lack of vigorous exercise and
highly artificial civilization nine
out of ten persons suffer from
intestinal stasis delay. The
passage Of waste is entirely too
slow. Result: Germs and
poisons breed in this waste and
enter the blood through blood
vessels i'll the intestinal walls.
The poisons are extremely in
Sidious. The headaches you get
the skin blemishes-the IA
tigue-the mental sluggishness
the susceptibility to colds
and countless other ills are di-
rectly due to the presence of
these poisons in your system.
They are the generic cause of
premature old age. rheumatism.
high blood pressure and many
serious maladies.
Thus it is imperative that
your system be free of these
po;sons. And sure and effcc
tive means is Internal Bathing.
In fifteen minutes it fushes the
intestinal tract of all impurities.
And each treatment strengthens
the intestinal muscles so tie
passage of waste is hastened.
