Federal Roads Bureau Gives Fig
ures on Registration and
Taxation.

More than 10000, 900 motor We
hicles were in use on the high
ways of the United States In 1925,
according to the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads of the Department of
Agriculture. The total registra-
ton reported was 1884, BAT, but
there were in addition 96,929
state and federal government
owned vehicles not included in
this figure. There is now one
vehicle for each So persons in the
United States. The Minnesota re-
gistration was 569,694, or one for
every As persons. The. increase
over 1924 was 1874 per cent for
the United States and 1871 per
cent for Minnesota.
Total receipts from registration
fees were $26O,619621, the Min
nesota total being $9,744,834.
The average per vehicle was
$13.06 for the United States and
$17.10 for Minnesota. In Mime
sofa, however, this was in lieu
of all other taxes but in a ma
jority of the other states the
automobiles are subject to per-
sonal property tax. While this
varies in every locality, it is safe
to say that the total of the
license and personal property tax
makes the average for the United
States several dollars higher than
the average license fee in Min
nesota.
The total gasoline taxes for
the United States for 1925 were
146,028,9 $40, after deducting re-
funds. The amount for Mime
sofa eight months) was $685.
$40. The Minnesota rate is 2
cents per gallon. The average
for the thirty six states which
had a gas tax at the beginning
of 1925 was 2.19 cents. At the
end of 1925 only four states,
Illinois, Massachusetts,, New Jer.
sey. and New York, did not have
a gas tax, and the average rate
in the forty-four states having
such a tax was 2.61 cents. Ken
lucky and South Carolina have a
tax of five cents per gallon.
The total number of gallons
taxed in 1925 was 6,457, 783, 284
and the number of gallons used
By. motor vehicles and not taxed
was estimated at 2,131 ,056, 1865
In Minnesota 1919, 464,097 gallons
were taxed from May 1 to Dec
81, and 57,9O8, $50 gallons used

Why GOVERNMENT PRICE
FIXING WON'T WORK

-
one o. the most persistent faIlacie8
ts government price-fxing on com
pedtve commodities. There Is al
ready government price-nxing "a com
modideB and services where compeH-
ton plays no part in price deteTmi-
nation. These are railway transpor-
taton. electricity. gas, telephone and
telegraph, and so on. Here govern
ment price-hxing is solely 10 protect
the consumer. There are two fatal
objections to government price-hxng
for agricultural products, which rep
resent the most competitive business
in the world. These are, first, that it
will not work; second, that e Is al
ways done for the consumer as
against the producer.
Government price-hxing for agricul-
tural products would work if at the
same time the government regulated
wages, profits, middlemen's margins,
the production Of all commodities and
the r~atiOning Of all consumers. In
short II the population were enlisted

otherwise not. If the price Is fixed on
the wheat the farmer sells, then ho
cannot keep on producing wheat Il
wages Or the cost Of harvesting ma,
chinery rise, or II the cost Of other
material he buys rises. So the neKi
step would be the hxatiOn Of other
prices, and yet other prices.
The United States government
hxed the price Of wheat but once IL
u history, and. then 1t was to beneAf
consumers, not producers. The gov
eminent might In an emergency, 81
some agricultural prices for the pun
pose Of elevating such prices. Suci
action would inevitably and speedfl,
lead TO Outcry from city consumer
and a consequent reversal Of policy
Indeed, the consumers, not the pro
ducers, are most likely to demani
and secure foOd price regulation b
government authorities. The farmel
! therefore, who faVors any form q
| governmental price-hxing is workin
against his own interests. He is pu
ting his head into a nOOse.-James ]

CREEK INDIANS
CLAIM MILLIONS
Say Government Owes Them
$29,OsA,5OO for Land.

Washington-SOmething Of interest
to students Of Alabama history is de-
velODing from the suit filed by the
Greek nation against the government
for money claimed due In payment for
lands coded to the United States an
1914, said lands comprising 100000
acres, embracing almost all the pres
ent states Of Georgia and Alabama and
a large portion Of the state Of Missis-
sippL"
This is the wording Of the claim, but
In 1914 the Greeks had jurisdiction
not farther west than the rich country
west Of the COOsa, though a~ncestrally
they had extended to NatChez land on
the Mississippi. The land claim, there
fore, appears to be considerably too
large. The money value is figured at
$1.25 an acre, or a total Of $29, 500.
The land was UndevelOped, much Of it
was hill and mountain land. The valu-
alton is declared excessive.
The Greek war was fought mot for
the land the Creeks owned, but IN
order to punish those leaders and
members Of the nation who were aid
ing Great Britain in Great Brltain's
war with the United States. General
Jackson's military operations were for
the purpose Of destroying the Greek
nations alliance with Great Britain
against the American settlers Of the
coast region. At the end, when the
Greek nation was crushed and the
warning Creeks surrendered, a treaty
Of peace was entered into and Jack
son was free to proceed against Pen.
sacOla, unhindered by the red man.
This suit was authorized by an act
Of congress in 1924, the Court Of
Claims being designated to give It
hearing.

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
On Fifteen Per Cent Bonds

Mrs. Norris beamed as she greeted
Aunt Emmy and exclaimed, Nov II
know all my financial worries ara
over! 1 wanted to tell you right away
What have you bought this timer"
Aunt Emmy demanded suspiciously.
well Haven't paid the money over
yet, but I have found the lOveliest
investment where my money will be
perfectly safe and viii earn a. nice
income for me right away" Mrs.
Norris said. I'm going to buy bonds,
good safe bonds, that will pay me
fifteen per cent interest"
wait a minute, you'll have to go
some, Maud Norris, to tell me about
good safe bonds that pay fifteen per
cent?" Aunt Emmy broke in.
"They are safe,-the man said 50
and this booklet says so tool"
"DO you know what a bond is?'
asked Aunt Emmy.
No. but it's awfully safe. I'm sure
Of that" Mrs. Norris said. Every
body knows that bonds are safe"
my dear, some bonds are safe and
some are not When you buy q bond
you simply lend your money 10 the
company putting out the bonds. Bond
issues are secured generally by the
company mOrtgaging or pledging
some Of its property. In other words
it offers a certain asset IS security
that it viii return your money to yOJ
on the date the bond natures. Il
agrees to pay you a certain sum eacl
year for the use Of your money, usu
ally something between five and eighi
per cent. No company can afford t
nay too much for it's mOney-and q
to fifteen per cent bonds-Why I
would be very unusual for a COMPANY
to be able 10 earn enough TO enabll
It to pay fifteen per cent for thl
privilege Of using other people
mOney,-mOreOVer, if it is goo.
enough to borrow money at all 1t ca
borrow it more cheaply than thatl"
"Oh dear!" Walled Mrs. Norris
then a bond isn't q good safe inves.
ment@'
Don't jump at conclusions 50 fast!
said Aunt Emmy. II did not say tina.
A bond is as safe as a church If tn
company that issues It IS financial
sound, has a high credit rating and !
making money. Before you buy bond
> assure yourself that the company b
hind them is above reprOach."
"But the man who told me aboJ
these fifteen per cent bonds was 8
earnestL felt sure I could beiey
him"
Don't turn over any money TO hi
until you have some advice on "a
bonds from your bank" admonishe
Aunt Emmy. "Then, If you find o.
that the bonds are questionable "a
win escape another bad investment
