HOR TON PILES
UP LAUGHS
AS BUTLER

Edward Everett Horton in
"once a Gentleman" a James
Cruze production of a clever CON-
edy drama blended with hun
dreds of hilarious predicaments,
now playing at RK-O Keith's,
furnishes the popular star with
one Of his. best roles. He is sup
ported by Lois Wilson, Francis K.
Busman, King Baggot and many
other screen personalities.
The story Of "Once a Gentle
man" concerns a valet whose
faithful service to his employer,
a Mr.. Van Warner, is rewarded
by being given a months vaca-
ton, $1,000 in cash, a complete
wardrobe and an admonition to
enjoy himself as a gentleman.
He is taken to the station with
great style and as Oliver is about
to board the train Mr.. Van War
ner tells him to look up an old
friend, Colonel Breen, at the
Gotham Club in New York.
At hte club he finds that Col.
onel Breen is in Bermuda and
other members Of the club mis-
take him for a personal friend
of Colonel Breen. Oliver is al
most recognized by a former
guest Of his employer and this
causes him great uneasiness. The
former guest, however, is unable
to place him in his mind, much
to the relief Of Oliver. He is
then invited to the home Of q
Mr.. Bannister, a member Of the
exclusive club, and here he falls
in love with the pretty house
keeper. Things begin to happen
then.
One predicament after another
follows, but the ending is a sur.
prising and happy one.
An interesting travel talk, cur.

and his RrK-Olians round out the

GASOLINE REFUNDS

Tax Returned Consoles One
official 40 to Honesty

Belief that refunds OF state gaSo.
line taxes are larger than they should
be, recently expressed by an official
Of the state Highway department. Is
not shared by State Auditor John
Steen, who collects the tax and makes
the refund.
The idea Of, those that gasoline tax
refunds are out OF proportion to the
tax collected was based partly on the
theory that some farmers buy gaso-
line for us In their tractors and
then use it in their automobiles as
we'll. Steen, after. some study Of the
subject, doesn't think that such cases
r numerous.
A recent estimate by . county
commissioners to . highway DEPART
ment official. 6teen said, was that the
average tractor operates 90 days dur
Ing the year and uses Is gallons OF
gasoline for each day it operates.
with $4,000 tractors operating in the
state this would mean 8 ,350,000 In
refunds, at three cents per gallon. Re-
funds paid In 1929 did not reach that
amount.
Separate Collectors Urged
In addition to persons owning trac-
| tors, elevators and other concerns and
individuals operating stationary en-
zines get refunds and the amounts
| paid to them are considerable, Stcen
said.
A proposal, which Is known tt
! have been advanced to Governor
| George r. shafer. which would pro-
! vide for the designation Of two o.
three persons In . county to acknowl'
edge applications for refunds by per
sons living in the county. also meets
with Stems disapproval.
The scheme would be unfair to tn
motorist and unpopular with hin,
steen said, and suggested that II tn
change were made he would like II
have the Job Of collecting the take
transferred from his office to SOM
other state department. He contend
that the proposed system would re
suit in no end Of 'grief" for whom
ever was required to administer tn
law.
