The automobile industry, through
It's successful efforts to eliminate the
excise tax on motor vehicles, saved
motorists over $100,00O,0OO.
Now the petroleum industry, by
aiding citizens in the war on ex-
orbitant gasoline taxes, hopes to
save the driving public at least
$150,000,000 yearly.
Every state now taxes gasoline.
The minimum tax is two cents, the
maximum which has just gone into
effect in South Carolina, is six cents.
In the latter state motorist whose
car runs IL miles to the gallon pays
a toll of one cent for every two
miles he travels, in gasoline taxes
alone.
When any tax becomes exorbitant,
the public will rebel. There is no
excuse for riding a willing taxpayer
to death.

1t is significant that in the two
principal addresses made by Presi-
dent Hoover since his Inauguration
he has dealt for the most part on
the Importance of law enforcement
and law obedience. This too was
the dominant theme in his inaugural
address.
This fact is impressive evidence
that the President considers one OF
the major duties of his administra-
ton to be that of inspiring the peo-
pie with new patriotism of obedi-
ence to law. At the same time
swifter and more certain justice is
to be meted out to the persistent
law violators.

commenting on the fact that differ
ences in language are at present a
barrier to international communica-
tons, forsees time when one or
two languages will be understood
the world over. The linking up of
the great American and foreign
powers by telephone has given a
strong impetus to this movement.
Once international telephony
comes into greater use, through a
common language, it will mean a
great step forward in promoting
understanding and friendliness
among the great nations of the
world.
