SHAFER DISCUSSES
GASOLINE TAX FOR
GOVERNORS FARLEY
Advises Assessment Of Auditing
Property for Road Improve.
ment Be Dropped

New London, Conn, July 17.-(R)-
Proper application Of gasoline taxes
to highway construction will permit
states to discard, in part, the an
cient theory that taxation should be
levied only against tangible property.
Governor George F. Shafer. Of North
Dakota, told members of the govern
ors conference here today.
The major topic under discussion
is taxation and Shafer was assigned
to discuss gasoline taxes.
Before motor vehicles became COM
mon. Shafer said. the only way to fl
nance road building and maintenance
was by direct taxation Of tangible
property. It was the only way to
raise the money and every district
had to have roads. he said.
Now, however, by placing a tax on
gasoline sales, the states are able to
place the tax upon those who use
the roads most and who are best able
to beat the cost. The very possess
sion of an automobile. Sfafer said, is
evidence Of the ability to pay and no
one pays more than his share.
He forecast the time when all high
way improvements will be financed
by sale Of motor vehicle licenses and
the gasoline tax. Included In his list
Of roads to be so financed were those
built by counties and townships as
well as by states and in part streets
constructed by cities.
Branding as wrong in theory the
assessment of AUDITING property to
pay for road improvements, Shafer
said 1t is much better to abandon It
for the gasoline tax. THE person OF
farmer living nearest the road re.
ceiveS no more benefit than one only
slightly removed from It," he said. In
fact he receives less, because the man
living next to the highway has an
noyances and hazards to which his
neighbor Is not subject"
Among these annoyances he listed.
dust and dirt from unpaved high
ways, damage to fences by motorists
who stop along the highway, injury
to stock which may stray from pas
lures and even the danger to human
life which may sometimes occur be-
cause Of residence near q road along
which automobiles pass at high speed.
Telling Of his states gasoline tax
Shafer said proceeds from this
tax, as well aS from motor vehicle
licenses, now are being shared by the
county as well as the state. In time,
he said, townships will be enabled to
obtain money from this source and
provision may be made whereby some
Of the tax will be refunded to cities
for use in constructing and repairing
city streets.
A review Of gasoline tax legislation
now in force discloseS that some states
now are doing all or nearly Ill Of
these things, he said, without protest
from the motor vehicle owner who
pays the bill.

Shut Door to Homesteaders on
Three Acres Near Chicago.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Three
and one-half acres of valuable real
estate. within twenty-five miles of
Chicago's business center. has been
lying unclaimed for nearly seventy
years though any homesteader
might have had it for the asking.
President Coolidge's executive
order of last Dec. Is brought it
under the isolated tract law, how
ever, and it will soon be sold at pub
lie auction, the general land Office
said today.
This valuable tract consists Of two
small triangles on the line between
Illinois and Indiana.
Seventy years ago most of the ad-
jacent land was holnesteaded.
Somehow this particular tract was
overlooked and not discovered until
three years ago. 1t then was
claimed, but the honeSteader, the
land office contends, voided his
Claim by not living on the land.
1t lies on a prairie south of Chi
cago which is rapidly being cut into
residential sub divisions, the general
land Office said.

Be- Times Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Rulings
from the United States attorney
general have been received which
clear up many legal questions in
volved in application of the emery
ency retirement law, Senator Tyson,
one of the authors, said today.
The next problem is to make the
veterans bureau and the conptrol-
Ter generals Office accept the rul-
ings as final and to pay retirement
salaries to the officers entitled to
them, Tyson said.
The law provides retirement pay
for all officers rated at the veter-
ans bureau as 80 per cent disabled
at time of its enactment.
Question Immediately arose as to
whether an officer once rated as 80
per cent disabled and whose rating
was reduced could receive the bene-
fits provided. The justice depart
ment ruled that such an officer
could not.
