utor shall pay tax of 2 cents per
gallon on all gasoline sold for auto
mobile use. The bureau holds that
the distributor, and not the purch-
aser, paid the tax. The provision
of the Connecticut law, placing the
burden of paying the tax on the
distributor, is practically the same
as that in many states and the rul-
ing therefore is one that affects
many motorists. "The Technicality
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
however, could be clarified in states
where the phraseology of the gaso-
line tax is such that the motorist
cannot make this deduction. This
could be done by simply adding to
the existing law in each state, which
provides that the distributor must
pay the tax, the following Ian
guage: at is the intent of this act
to impose a tax upon the owners of
motor vehicles using a combustible
type of engine upon the public
roads and highways by requiring
them to pay for the privilege there
Of, in addition to the general motor
vehicle license tax In test case
from Michigan the Z. S. Bureau of
Internal Revenue, held i'll March OF
this year, that this added phrase
ology to the general gasoline tax,
makes it clear that the tax is a
consumers tax and therefore may
be deducted by the motorist from
his annual Federal income tax re-
turn" president Weeks points out

OPEN BRIDGE AT FARNHURST
Within a Few Days-WOrk on the
Approaches Will Start Soon

1t is expected that within a few
weeks, traffic will be permitted over
the new bridge at Farnhurst. The
bridge is completed and work on
the approaches will start soon.
Originally it was planned to de
tour motor traffic around the bridge
while the approaches were being
built, but Chief Engineer w. w.
Mack, of the Highway Commission
expects now to be able to allow
travel to use one side of the bridge
after the approach has been con-
structed while the second half is
being built. 1t is hoped that one
side of the approach will be con
structed in time for Fourth Of July.

DO MOTORIST PAY GAS TAX
Shatter Belief by Ruling by L. S.
Bureau of Internal Revenue

The belief harbored by the aver
age motorist, that he pays a gaso-
line tax has been rudely shattered
by ruling Just made by the Z. S.
Bureau Of Internal Revenue, and
reported by the legal department
Of the American Motorists Asso-
citation, Nation Body of the Della
ware Automobile Association, 18th
and West Streets, Wilmington. The
ruling Of the Bureau in passing on
the Connecticut gasoline tax law, is
to the general effect that the gaso-
line tax is paid, net by the motor
ist, but by the distributor who sells
him the gasoline. The ruling is of
national application, affecting large
ly motorists in all other states
where the gasoline tax law is of
the same phrasaology. Motorists
of the State of Connecticut last
year consumed an average of $50
gallons of gasoline, paying a gaso-
line tax Of approximately $11.20,
according to figures of the Asso-
citation. The question submitted to
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
was whether a motorist could de-
duct this amount of tax, already
paid, when making his annual Fed
eral income tax return. The Bu-
reau's ruling, to the effect that he
cannot, is based primarily on the
fact that the law imposing the tax
provides that each gasoline distrib-

Smoke That Thunders.

The tremendous roaring cataract
known to the Western world as the VIC
toria Falls is referred to by the tribes
men of the vicinity in words that mean
"the smoke that thunders." The roar
Of these falls may be heard for many
miles. The fall of water Is twice the
height Of Niagara and 1t is precipitated
into chaSm mile wide, but falling
into big hole as 1t does. the falls
do not offer the impressive scene OF
Niagara. There is no point except from
an airplane that these falls may be
viewed with any satisfaction. Through
a narrow gorge less than 100 feet wide
the river escapes to the sea. The
smoke that thunderS" is the mist aris-
ing from the falling water and the noise
made by it.

In creating the new Viking, the designers
sought distinction along the most difficult
path-the achievement of beauty, grace, and
elegance through tailored lines.
The result more than justifies their diligence,
for although the Viking was introduced
only few weeks ago, the public has already
appraised it as a car of exceptional beauty.
The Viking is a low-swung, trimly-tailored
tenders, graceful hood, and handsome body
contours all blend into pleasing, beautifully
proportional whole-at once fleet in appear
ance and dignifed in character. And this

hard pulling. Among the outstanding advan~
tagesofthe Viking V-type, eight-cylinder
engine are its simplicity, rightly, accessibility,
and compactness. The valve mechanism is
entirely new in design and is more accessible
than in the conventional automobile engine.
Fuel distribution is through down-draft
manifolds, providing all cylinders with
a uniform fuel mixture.
Come in and see the great new Viking eight
today. Examine its many new engineering
features. Take it for trial drive. Then
compare the new Viking, point by point, with
other cars of medium price and learn how
much more it offers you in value.
