Judean Shepherd Today

The shepherd still wears the same
dress as in ancient days. His cloak
is of sheepskin, one side for day and
one for night. He carries bis rod
and staff; his bag is made of kid
skins, where he carries his food; his
milk is carried in a gourd.
The rod, "his weapon of Defense"
is made of strong oak formed from
a straight Young tree, the head being
trimmed from the root end forming
large round handle. This is sup

TAKING THE BUS.

1.-THE charge that huge buses ant
trucks go careening tax-free over ths
public's highroads is seriously modified
by the thought that gasoline taxes pay
heavily for roads and motor buses use
gasoline" says the New York Times
THE Automobile Club estimate puts
the average gas tax at 8 2-5 cents a
gallon The happy automobile owner
who gets out of his private car per-
haps fifteen miles to the gallon would
thus be paying tax of nearly one
fourth cent mile. The heavy bus
or truck, which gets less mileage to
the gallon, obviously pays higher
tax per mile"
AS a matter of fact, the gas tax is
one of the least of the taxes levied
against buses, The report of a Ken
lucky bus system, covering eleven
months Of 1880, is Illuminating. In
that time 1t paid fifteen different
kinds Of taxes, totaling 1892 ,676, 500
percent of the systems revenue. OF
Uills Une gas TAX was about $84, 400.
The entire tax amounted to 2 10 cents
for every mile the systems vehicles
Travelled.
Recent statistics show that, in 1880,
commercial vehicles paid $25O,OOOO0O
in special motor taxes. This repre-
sents % per cent of all motor vehicle
taxes, while trucks and buses comprise
only 10 percent OF vehicles using the
highways
Buses have come into great public
favor as swift, safe and economical
means of transportation. While the
industry is still young, 1t is rapidly
being organized on a sound basis, and
1t is making no effect to escape pay
ing its fair share of the cost of gov
arnment or to evade necessary regula-
