the ground of the cost and on the
further premise that it would take
away some of the present Potomac

There are SO many other sites in the

pointed out, that Il should not be
necessary TO go to such great expense
of revamping the basin.
Herman Hagedorn, director Of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association,
when here several weeks ago exhibit
ing the Pope designs, said the aSSo-
citation was working on the theory
that the Government would do this
work. 1t has been roughly estimated,
however, that such work would cost
several millions of dollars, as it would
require the building of an entirely
new sea wall around the basin and
neceSsitate q large amount of dredg
ing of Potomac Park lands to provide
for the fill necessary for the Shrine
foundation. For every foot that is
filled in the basin like amount must
be taken out somewhere else in this
area to give sufficient tideWater sur
face to provide for the flushing of

present there Us the understanding
that the memorial Is to be erected
without expense to the Government
and in feet, it was frankly stated by
several members of the two commit
lees that they believed that to ask the
Government to bear such expense
would kill the prospect of using the
site selected by the architect as the
basis for his design

Thorough Study Pledged.

The library committee will go very
thoroughly into the whole proposition
when 1t takes it up for consideration
and hearing, Senator Fess said. There
are many matters on which he will
seek full information, he pointed out,
among them just how far the Gov
eminent has gone TO date: whether
the selection Of the proposed site was
regular in every way, and what ac-
ton by Congress will be necessary.
Senator Fess said he was a great
admirer of the late President and was
not impressed with the opposition
which has grown up on the score that
Theodore Roosevelt's life had been too
recent to be memorialiZed as now pro
posed. He didn't think Congress
would authorize the expenditure of
$4,000, 900 or $1,000. 900 for this pur-
pose. He also indicated that in this
connection he wanted to investigate
the matter TO see what effect the pro.
! posed change would have in the Tidal
Basin and the surrounding area.
The Mcmillan plan of 1902 called
for different treatment Of the area
surrounding the TidalsB Basin than that
which ii has taken during the inter.

years while the government was dis

states, it collected $873, 100000 in in
ternal revenue taxes on motor cars,
parts and accessories. Other hum
dreds of millions were collected in

I do not think these figures have
ever been put together, but at any
rate you observe that the federal
contribution of people who make and
use the cars and the gasoline has
been decidedly modest.
But, While federal contribution is
only about 10 per cent of highway
expense, it has accomplished results
altogether out of proportion to it's

TAX ON MOTOR CARS AND FUEL

"The equipment of this continent
with modern roads has been the most
amazing provision of a public utility
that any community ever accom-
plished in a similar PERIOD" said
Mr. Macdonald. Historians say the
Roman empire was held together by
it's highway system, radiating from
Rome to the provinces. But Ameri-
cans might boast that our highway
system has converted a continent
into a neighborhood within few
years. What makes the achievement
more remarkable is that it has been
wrought in the period of high taxes
following the war.
"This accomplishment really repre-
sents the Inauguration of a new sys-
tenn of taxation; a system of licenses
and excises levied against particular
privileges or classes of property, the
proceeds being dedicated to highway
development.
For the year 1925 state taxes on
gasoline aggregated just about $143,-
100000. Add to that 1858, 100000 for
automobile registration and licenses.
Put down another S150,OO0,000 as
moderate estimate of property taxes
on the 2O,OOo,00O automobiles. Then
set down s143,43O,709, as the federal
excise tax on automobiles, parts and
accessories for 1925. After that, add
in $50 600, 900 to represent wheelage
taxes, special taxes on gasoline or
cars, and fines collected from motor
drivers. The total reaches approxi-
mately $749, 1880, 7O9

from the motor car business. Nor

Some day it will be realized that
this was the most valuable contri-

splendid highway system; but if these
did not articulate at the state lines,
the trip would be almost impossible.
Thanks to the systematization under
federal influence, country roads are
as superior to state boundary lines
as are railroads. A man drives from
one state into another without know
ing it, unless sign board tells him.
Few people realize that federal part

this.
"The federal highway act of 1921
required that complete nation

Unless the forest service is ready
to proceed with it's share of the work,
however, which consists of the build
ing of the line from Roceo to Portal,

probably <of about $4,000, the tele-

Douglas and it is felt that the tenta-

this small wooden mill has paid

result could have been secured for
$45,000. Because of the graft-paying

lost $113,40O.
A Business Proposition.
Here is another case: A big textile
manufacturing organization in New
England is using a sulphonated cas-
tor oil at Is cents purchased from an
unreliable concern. The same oil was
offered at 11h cents by another con-
cern; was passed by the chemist OF
the corporation as acceptable; the
salesman called upon the boss finish
er, and the fnisher bluntly said, 81
am using the So-and-So oil at is cents
because they are paying me $40 a
barrel. Here is my home address,
and also my home telephone number.

one large corporation more than
$2,000,000 a year is lost to net profits
thru the rampant graft and grating
in its organization.
The whole industry reeks with this
condition. A great majority OF the
sizing compounds, oils, drugs, scour-

boiling compounds, solvents, and other
chemical connections offered TO the
industry are absolutely fraudulent in
purpose. price and process.
