FEDERAL AID is
BUILDING ROADS

The justice Of the present system
Of distribution Of cost for federal aid
highway building is shown by figures
released by the American Association
Of State Highway Officials. The in
vestigation carried on by the associa-
ton was designed to secure the true
source Of income, extending beyond
surface payments of revenue.
I'm order to arrive at the facts as
to who really pays for the roads, =
says the statement, st was necessary
to trace payments to their original
source rather than to stop at the re-
turns made by various states"
Taxes collected from several COM
mon commodities were investigated.
Sugar is one typical example. One
company dealing in sugar made re-
turns showing a net profit of more
than one and a half million dollars.
The taxes on this return were all
credited to one state when as matter
of fact the entire income came from
sugar grown and largely bought by
middle-western and western states.
A biscuit company reporting an in
come of several millions of dollars
was taxed in, and reported from, New
York when the income was derived
from millions of sales, most of which
were outside of the state credited with
the tax return.
The same situation was found to be
typical of FIVE and ten-cent chain store
returns, tobacco taxes, cereals radi-
ators and cans ''This crediting of
payments to certain states without re-
alizing that the true source of the
tax is outside that state should be
considered in all calculations bearing
on who really pays for the highways
we are building" says the association.
Railroads and banking houses show
ing large tax returns in practically
every instance derive their incomes
from communities and persons far out
side the boundaries of the state credit
ed with the tax return.
Capitalization of business in GER
tain centers," the association con
cludes, lis a natural growth and eco
nomically so1nd Surplus funds grayi-
tate to certain centers; industries
concentrate where power is cheapest
or raw materials nearest at hand
States do not own the corporations OF
the individuals in their business rela
tions. There is not single large city
In the entire country which secures its
prosperity exclusively from the citi
zens who live in the same state. In
surance companies, railroads, corpora
tions-all derive the greater share Of
their taxable income from outside the
state in which they are incorporated
or report from.
"The only conclusion that can logi
cally be drawn from such facts" con
cludes the association, sis that the
money paid into the federal treasury
is coming from all the taxpayers an6
not from any one particular state OF
section. Regardless, then, of where
the tax is credited, SO long as it Is
being used for the benefit of all the
people 1t represents proportionatt
share Of the federal expenses.

Many Bus Fares Needed
to Pay Federal Taxes

Fifty million ten-cent passengers
must be carried by the motor bus
companies of the country each year
just to pay federal taxes.
The keeping of obligatory tax re-
ceipts is responsible, it is said, for
the higher cost of tires and parts
Bus owners are paying about a
dozen kinds Of taxes, federal, state
and local.
The efficiency and economy of the
motor bus have been recognized by the
United States army. 1t has been
found cheaper to transport soldiers by
motor bus when the time element will
permit. Reports show that there was
a large saving when troops were
transported In busses last summer
from Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indi-
ana, to Camp Ferry, Ohio.
It has also been found that less
than 10 per cent of the loss of passen-
gers by railway lines was caused by
motor buses. Most of this loss oc-
Cured before motor buses came into
general use and was due to private
automobiles.
The motor bus, it is asserted, has
been accepted with less urging and ex-
ploitation than any other service ever
offered the public. The desire to ride
on rubber and the safety, comfort
and convenience provided by the bus
are given as the cause.

Gas Tax for Roads

Gasoline taxes collected by the
states yielded a revenue of $50, 10s,-
1874 in the first half of 1925, of which
$50, S14,240 is applicable to road work,
according to a report by the bureau
Of public roads of the United States
Department OF Agriculture. Wiscon-
sin collected S534.662. AT the begin
ming of the year there were 10 states
which did not have a gasoline tax. A
tax Is imposed in all states except
Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey
and New York.

Investigate When Knock
or Grind Is Discovered

Il is fortunate that the majority
Of serious arrangements to which a
car Is subject make themselves known
by unusual sounds, generally of such
a disagreeable and obtrusive charac-
ter as to force themselves upon the
operators attention A car that runs
quietly is, generally speaking, car
in good mechanical condition, and, on
the contrary; a car which makes an
unusual amount OF noise or sounds
that 1t did not make when new and
In good condition, is one which is me
chanically unfit, In certain particulars
at least. Excessive noise or the de-
velopment of unusual sounds is usual.
ly the first indication Of faulty me-
chanical condition, Of the working
parts especially and, as rule, no con
siderable repairs are required so long
as It's operation Is smooth and com
paratively noiseless.
Any increase OF noise or any new
operative sound should, however, be at
once located and thoroughly inyesti-
gated, for the ignoring of such warn
ing may lead to great trouble and ex-
pense Until the engine knocks or
pounds, one need not worry about 1t
and, if 1t does knock, one should al
ways be sure it is free from carbon
before going to the expense of inspect
ing and adjusting the bearings and
making piston repairs. Unusual hum
ming or grinding sounds usually indi-
cate that gears or gear shaft bearings,
either In the transmission or in the
rear axle, are in trouble.
The trouble may be lack Of lubrica-
ton or something worse, and proper
fabrication should be assured before
it is assumed that anything serious is
the matter Rattles commonly arise
from loose parts or worn-out spring
shackle pins or bushings. Squeaks
(aside from those arising from the
springs and the body are usually from
inadequately fabricated bearings some
where in the transmission line. After
considerable driving experience, an OPP
orator almost unconsciously takes note
Of any departure from the regular
sound and motion of his car and with
out conscious effort is always in po-
sition to investigate at once anything
that has gone wrong.

Neglect Is Blamed for
Loss of ST, 900, 900, 900

More than LOCO, 100000 annually IS
wasted by neglect in the maintenance
Of automobiles
Neglect in fabrication and adjust
ments cause the principal loss.
Other evils which contribute to the
waste are faulty brakes, wheels out Of
alignment, worn parts and the like.
1t has been estimated that more
than so per cent of all accidents are
a direct result of faulty brakes.
This huge waste is considered I'M
necessary and due to carelessness
alone on the part Of auto owners.

Burning of Rubbish on
Roads Endangers Autos

To protect the highways in Connecti>
cut the state highway and police de-
partments are prepared to prosecute
persons burning leaves or rubbish on
or adjoining the state roads. Such a
practice also is deemed highly danger
Gus to automobile traffic.
Although the fires are started in the
cutters, it is pointed out, the heat from
them is sufficient to draw the oils from
the bituminous surface Of the high
way and cause a serious menace to
public safety and an increased main
tenance expense. inasmuch as many
roads are treated with asphalt, tar or
other substances containing volatile
oils which may be ignited easily.

CHANGES IN FISH AND GAME
LAWS ARE RECOMMENDED BY
SPORTSMEN AT STATE MEET

Several changes in the fishing and
hunting code of the state will be
urged upon the Legislature at its
next session by the Wyoming Game
and Fish Protective association
which met recently at Casper. in a
two-day session. Principal among
these will be the creation of a
fish and game fund and an increase
in the majority of licenses. B. c..
Rumsey, member of the state game
commission was present at the
meeting, representing the northern
part of the state.
According to the law now in eff
feet, revenue from licenses goes
into the general fund. This would
be placed in a special fund to be
directed by the fish and game COM
mission. according to the proposal.
Resident fishing and hunting Ii
censes would be increased from
$3.50 to SIS; fishing licenses from
81 to $3.50 and nonresident fish
ing and hunting licenses would re-
main at $50, but nonresident fish
ing would be raised to SIS. 1t is
proposed to issue a permit to res
idents for the killing of a second
elk. An adequate fee would be
charged.
Bear would be brought under the
statute as a game animal. The
wyoming state game and fish COM
mission has recognized it as a game
animal but no legislation has been
enacted to that effect.
The appointment of the state
game warden would be further
taken out of politics by giving the
appointive power to the commission
instead of to the governor, where
1T now rests. The warden is the
executive officer of the commission.
