GASOLINE TAX
(NeW Haven Timesl


 Connecticut motorists who ara prone to protest against the two. cent gasoline tax may gain meas. ure of satisfaction from a survey of gasoline taxes in other states Sixteen states have taxes of five cents or over. Florida having an impost of seven cents.
 There is a growing resentment against this policy of seeking the motorist because it happens to bs easier to tax automobiles and theii necessities than incomes, real estate and other objects. Un. doubtedly those states which have posted exorbitant gasoline taxei will find themselves suffering through a falling off of touris trade. The tourist may well jo' down the gasoline taxes of varioui states on his road may.
 Here is a report on various gaso' line taxes:
 2c-Connecticut, District of Co. Iumbia, New York, Rhode Island.
 3c-California, Delaware, Illi nois, Iowa, Kansas. Massachusetts Michigan. Minnesota, New Jersey North Dakota, Pennsylvania.
 4c-Colorado, Indiana, Maine Maryland, Nebraska, New Hamp shire, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota Texas. Utah. Vermont, West Vir ginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
 5c-Alabama. Arizona, Idaho Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana. Mis- sissippi, Oklahoma, New Mexico Virginia, Washington.
 6c-Arkansas, Georgia, Noru Carolina, Tennessee.
 7c-Florida.
 This money is not used in build ing and maintaining roads as wal formerly claimed. It is being uset for oyster propagation. fish hatch cries. erecting public buildings ant other diversions not remotely hay ing to do with the average mo torist and especially the passini motorist.
 The worm has shown signs turning in Maine and North Da kota, where there has been sus pension of enactments awaiting referendum of the voters. Tel thousand voters signed the refe rendum petition in Maine when there is a protest against the pro posed increase from 1 to cent a gallon. It appears that Nortl Dakota citizens will win thet battle and the tax will not D raised. The impost has grown ' be legalized robbery. and shouE be resisted everywhere.

fairly well informed on the situation in republican ranks for he remarks that Mr Hoover got oversold. If he had done mod erately well. he would still have been dis appointment because he was portrayed to the country as a superman. :" Some how or other we have had the same idea about the President. There was so much confidence placed in his ability to lead this nation to even greater heights of prosperity than Calvin Coolidge did that his remarkable inability to cope with the present situation is magnified. We don't think even last minute efforts will save his prestige.

Here, There And Euerywhere

Of over-produced years and rec- ord low prices for farm products.
 A great many farmers voted for prohibition on the ground that they were putting something over on the wicked cities. It is a favor ite assertion of the moralists of the corn belt that virtue is en- throned in the open spaces, that vice Is dominant in the cities, and that the country must be saved by laws imposed by the virtuous part of the nation to restrain the rest.
 The premise was never true. There was always as much vice, (per capita) in the most remote rural sections as in the big cities. The whole argument was fallacious and the farmers threw a boomer ang which struck them squarely in the head. Senator Bingham's sug- gestion that we repair some of the damage while we may, is a sound one.
