While we protest long and loudly
against adoption of sales taxes, every
driver of an automobile suffers from
sales tax every time he drives up
to gasoline pump.
Motorists of the United States paid
taxes exceeding $2,000,000 per day
last year, and they will pay even
higher taxes during 1881. More than
half of the daily tax bill represents
of registration and drivers license
gasoline taxes; the rest is made up
fees, personal property taxes and vo-
rious other levies. Most of the in
come is used for the administration of
motor vehicle laws, and the construc-
ton, improvement and maintenance
of highways, but steadily growing
proportion is being spent on projects
in which the motorists have little in
terest and from which they receive
less benefit.
Gasoline tax collections in 1920,
totaling nearly $500,000,000, provid-
ed an income of more than $1,000,000
daily Numerous counties and COM
munities collected additional gasoline
taxes of their own, using the income
for local purposes. There is no avail
able record of the total of these local
taxes, but it is believed they also
run into millions. The 1880 income
from registration and other fees, and
taxes upon motor vehicle or its own
er, was more than $1,000,000,00 To-
gether, gasoline taxes and other mo-
toring taxes were equal to two-thirds
or more of the total 1880 expenditures
ron highways.
This tax income represents an
enormous increase over the collect
tions of early years. In fact, total
motor vehicle tax income since 1921
has increased at the rate Of Ia per
cent a year, and gasoline tax income
at the rate of 79 per cent per year.
Yet the average yearly increase in
motor vehicle registrations has been
less than IL per cent, far less in re-
cent years, and expenditures for
highways have made an annual in
crease of only per cent.
But the peak of motoring taxation
has not been reached. The legisla-
lures this year have increased gaso-
line tax rates until the average rate
now is approximately four cents per
gallon Only by strenuous efforts
were motorists able to defeat a bill
designed to lift the gasoline tax of
one state to seven cents per gallon. In
all states widespread opposition to
increases was aroused.
If motor travel increases this year
and in some quarters it is believed
there will be a general expansion in
motoring, it is possible the 1881 gaso-
line tax will approach the S600,0O0,-
600 mark, and that total motor vehi-
Gle taxes will be close to $1,500,000,-
600.
Favorable weather this year pro-
duced the heaviest highway travel OF
any first quarter in years, and if the
late fall and early winter seasons pro-
vide equally good motoring weather
increased consumption of motor fuel
and consequently greater tax collec-
tions, will result. Much is-being made
of the fact that foreign travel is
showing decline and that more peo-
pie than ever will "See America
First" by motor this year.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, February 27.-A
complete survey of the entire school
' system here is expected to be ordered
by the City School Board at the regu-
lar meeting of the board next Wednes-
day night The work will be done either
| by the University of Virginia or the
United States Bureau of Education.
This action on the part of the School
Board is expected to be taken to get q
/ full and complete survey from an i'm
partial source. It is probable that the
Federal agency will be used, as the cost
will be much less than if the work is
done by the University of Virginia. The
! United States Bureau of Education
| made similar survey here in 1924.
which cost the city $400.
| The survey was advised in a letter
received by the School Board recently
from the superintendent of public in
struction of Virginia, who stated that 1t
would be a good idea to have this done
| by an impartial source so that there
would be no doubt as to the true facts.
The City Council yesterday fixed
March as the date on which it would
accept the invitation Of the School
Board to make personal tour of the
schools.

Sol0ist Ensemble and Pianist
at the University Club.

n A N EVENING OF MUSIC"
80 ~ as presented last night
II at the University Club,
4 A through the efforts of the
Entertainment Committee,
of which Lewis Lotion Moneyway is
the guiding spirit, included THE
Soloist Ensemble" and IRVINE j.
StenSon, pianist.
Although one might wish that Mr..
Stenson had learned his selections
by heart and could thus have done
away with those pauSeS so I'M
pertenantly puctuated by the rustling
of pages, he demonstrated the able
technique that has brought him to
the front with evident abandon and
for the most part pleasing results.
Conspicuous among his playing was
The Eagle" by Mcdowell. and the
Karganoff "Scherzo," and the PA
pillon" of Schubert might have been
likewise but for the irrelevant bumps
produced by the page turning.
THE SoloiSt Ensemble" of which
Otto Torney Simon is director, began
the program and finished the pro-
gram and produced in the interims
some very fine effects. Most notice.
able among its virtues was the
rather amazing shadings and high
lights and the long final note which
in one or two of the selections
drifted off imperceptibly into eclipse.
All of these more delicate phrasings
the group handled admirably. But
for some strange reason when high
note was to be tackled there was
much and lamentable falling off, and
in one instance the desired note was
never reached at all.
The general impression received
was that this group had worked so
aSsiduously over the more intricate
passages that it had forgotten to
brush up on the elemental. That,
however, was scarcely noticeable in
the last two Wagner choruSes-the
Song of the Rhine MaidenS" and
the Entrance of the Gods in Wal
halle" Here Mr. Simon attained to
the acme of ensemble singing-thus
turning his audience loose with the
very best impression of his work

standing moments.
