OPPOSES GASOLINE TAX RAISE
Chief Engineer Buck Tells Budget
Committee There is No Need of 1t

Chief Engineer Buck Tells Budget
Committee There is No Need of 1t
G. D. Buck, chief engineer Of the
State Highway Department, before
the joint budget committee of the
General Assembly Monday, opposed
increasing the State tax on gasoline.
He said there was no necessity for
an increase in the tax at this time
and he quoted figures to show that
the departments income from this
source in 1926 amounted to 1896, $685.
80, as compared with S342,081.38 for
1925. He estimated the revenue from
the gas tax in 1927 would be $780,
900. Committeeman thought the gas
tax should be increased because many
automobile owners who use the high
ways do not own property and there
fore do not pay the State taxes other
than the registration and gas tax.
Mr.. Buck, however, advised against
any increarse at this time despite the
fact that Maryland is contemplating
an increase of two cents, making their
total gas tax A 1-2 cents. Mr.. Buck
told the committee and departments
income in 1926 from registration fees
totaled $775,965 as compared with
S68O,O1O in 1925. Mr.. Buck told the
committee he thought one of the
most important measures before the
Legislature is the Deputy bill in the
Senate providing that the State take
over the county road and state aid
highway bonds. He said the bill as
it stands would require the State to
make an outlay Of approximately S9,-
100000. He opposed the measure in
its present form in that it is too
broad. He would favor the State tax
ing over only the State aid highway
bonds and then the payment only of
the principal and not the interest.
He developed the fact that the bill as
it is written would have the State
take over the county bonds also,
which in New Castle would amount
to over S1,000,0O0 and in Kent to sew
eral hundred thousand dollars while
Sussex has no county bonds issued by
the county for its own highways. If
the State assumed only the principal
of the county state aid road bonds it
would cost the State S285,000 for the
next two years, Mr.. Buck said. He
did not think the State should assume
responsibility Of strictly county road
bonds. Neither did he think the
State should burden itself to the ex-
tent the Deputy bill would do, claim
ing it would be enough to assume the
principal only now on the county and
state aid road bonds. If this were
done he estimated it would enable
the counties to make the following re-
duction in the assessment: New Cas-
tie, cents on the 500 assessment;
Kent, 13 cents, and Sussex, 15 IL
cents. He said he would be opposed
to the State undertaking more than
it could carry out and declared it
would be harder to assume this bur
den now and later have to give it up,
If it proved too much Of a drain on
the treasury, than it would be to do
a little at time and increase the
load as the condition Of the state
treasury warranted.

No Modification of Dry Law, Says
Jane Adams.

Jane Adams, veteran social service
worker and founder of Hull House,
Chicago, recently declared in Des
Moines, Iowa, where she attended the
national conference of social workers,
that although the liquor problem in
the larger cities is serious, she does
not look for modification of the dry
law.
In regard to present day morals she
said: ut is true that moral standards
are changing, but standards of every
sort are continually shifting; no con-
dition is so dangerous as the lack of
change"
She also observed that she believed
it "a tribute to youth today that they
do not accept as maxims and precepts
