Propose County Gas Tax

On October 8, voters of Montgonl-
cry, Alabama, will decide whether a
county wide gasoline. tax of one cent
a gallon shall be levied to raise rev.
enue for public schools.
One wonders Just what the county
will gain If the voters favor the pro-
posal. Alabama already has q five
cent state gas tax-and the additional
cent will work a hardship on thou
sands of citizens. Local gasoline
dealers will suffer, as all who are
able will buy gas outside the county
line before entering the city. II
Montgomery must have more money
for schools 1t should raise it In the
regular manner-and not by class
taxation. Every citizeny whether he
owns a car or not, equally benefits from
educational facilities and should sup
port them accordingly.
The public will eventually rebel
against a sales tax of twenty o. more
per cent on q necessary commodity.

Charges Of the London Daily Mail

the interesting theory that history
not only repeats but reverses itself.
Complaints against Wall Street "ulti-
matums" and "dictation" to the Labor
ministry are In the same spirit, II not
the same words. as colonial protests
against taxation without representa-
tion." London liberals objecting to

London and not Philadelphia ma

of Independence in Anglo-American
relations, and Wall Street may be
presented with as lengthy 4 list of
grievances as was King George. II
London can not protest. as did the
colonials, against the enforced sup
port Of armies Of soldiers, 1t might
object to the financial strain of
boarding and rooming the army Of
American diplomats and bankers.

For the last few weeks, the state
