WARNING TO MOTORISTS

An intensive drive, which
began August 1, against dirty,
disfigured, obscured, swinging
and poorly-lighted license tags
will be continued indefinitely.
according to Col. E. Austin
Baughman, Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles.
Reports of the State Police
show that during the week of
August 1 several hundred mo-
florists were stopped and warn
ed about tags" the Commits
sioner said.
"The situation has reached
a point where it cannot be cor
rected by mere warning
penalty will be more effectual
"This campaign is for the
strict enforcement of The law
governing the display of Ii
cense tags.
81 am reminding all motor
lists that the fines provided for
such cases range from $40 to
$780,"

TOLL OF ONE CENT EVERY
THREE MILES PAID
BY MOTORISTS

Although toll roads have
virtually disappeared in the
United States, the average
motorist pays a toll of approx
imately a third of a cent for
every mile his car travels, &C
cording to the American Road
Builders Association.
Like most figures relating to
such a far-fiung phenomenon
as highway transportation,
that which shows a total an
nual revenue of $536,397, 45S in
gasoline taxes, needs to be
broken down into smaller de-
tail for it's full meaning to be-
come clear, says Mr.. Charles
M. Upham, engineer-director
of the organization.
When that is done, it is re-
vealed there is what amounts
to toll of close to one-third of
a cent a mile on automobile
travel in this country.
1t is estimated, he says, that
the average among the 26,00O,-
600 motor vehicles in the Unit
ed States yields II miles to the
gallon of gasoline consumed.
The average gasoline tax rate
is 3.4S cents a gallon. The
tax per mile then, is 0.29 cents
which means that for every
"a miles his car goes, the NOR
orist pays one cent for the use
of our highways.

SPEAKER SUGGESTS
DYNAMITE

Addressing the Rotary Club
at Princess Anne, Md, last
Tuesday night, Edwin c. Tot
ten, Executive Secretary of the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore AS
ISOLATION, stated that What
this country needs is an I'M
limited number of good five
cent packages of dynamite to
place beneath the coat tails of
the "sit fighters" and stand
patters."
Mr.. Totten stated that using
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula as a
barometer, following a recent
,, visit to every county on the
Peninsula, he has found sur
prising number of business
men and women who are per-
hitting themselves to become
oppressed, if not depressed, to
the extent that they quite
frankly admit they are either
sitting tight" or standing
pat," and are waiting to see
what their neighbor or COM
petitor in business will do
rather than exert their usual
initiative by seeking to stimu-
late their own business.
AS evidence that sit tight
ers" and stand patters" are
losing personally he offered
the comparison of one promi-
nent farmer who had assumed
the sitting tight" attitude and
had refused to enter this year
as he had entered past seasons
even though capable to do so
with a result that he has many
idle acres and is making nc
profit, as against another in
dividual who has met not only
the present day condition but
who is physically incapacitat-
ed to the extent that he cannot
leave his automobile without
assistance, and who this veal
is giving his personal direction
to the cultivation of more thar
700 acres; paying his hireC
help by the day; and who thus
far has realized on his straw
berries and cucumbers a ne
profit running we'll up into foul
Figures. This man, he stated
simply refuses to admit a de-
pression and is an outstanding
Illustration of what can bt
done if undertaken with con
lfidence.
| Mr.. Totten further stated
that there is no question bu
what the feeling of confidence
Especially throughout the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula, has devel
oped in a pronounced manner
during the last thirty days tt
six weeks period.

DR.. E. N. Cory, State Ento-
mologist, suggests an easily
prepared and inexpensive pois-
on to get rid of the ants in a
house or lawn. Mix one quart
of water, one pound of sugar
and 125 grains of arsenite of
soda. Boil until the arsenite
is entirely dissolved, then add
a tablespoonful of honey. Put
the mixture in shallow con-
tanners. The ants will carry
the poison to their nest and
feed it to the queen and young
ants, destroying the entire
colony.

GARNER SAYS BUDGET MUST BE
BALANCED

Washington, Dec. 27.-Demo-
cratic leaders have little hope an
extra session of congress can be
avoided, but they are determin
ed to force through the short
session as much of their legis!a
tive program as possible.
This was evidenced today as
Speaker Garner cut short the
usual recess aud called the house
together to speed action on ap
preparation bills-a major item
on the program for the present
meeting ending March 4-and
possibly dispose of Philippine
independence before the week
ends.
Reports that presidential We
toes will pile up the Democratic
farm relief snd beer legislation
aud impending controversies
surrounding proposals to balance
the budget have ali but convinc
ed the leadership that President
elect Roosevelt must summon an
extra meeting soon after March
4 if campaign pledges are to be
speedily fulfilled.
Meanwhile, however, a senate
judiciary subcommittee began
study OF the constitutional phas-
es of the Collier 80 per cent
beer bill with a view to quick
action after January |.
At the same time Chairman
Norris Of the judiciary group re
newed efforts to get the full
CON mittee together tomorrow to
begin formal consideration of
the bill
Speculation was rife today
that the Democratic leadership
was ready to sponsor the sales
tax as budget balancing mea
sure in view of statement by
Chairman Collier of the house
ways and means committee that
be would advance it if necessary
to make income and expenditures
meet. He estimated that $780,.
600, coo would have to be raised
in addition to any beer revenue
aud war debt pay yments.
Speaker Garner said last Sat
urday that the budget must be
balanced" Golfers committee
will begin g survey of the entire
federal financial picture Jan. 3.
Washington, Dec. 20. - One
word from Albany had turned
the minds Of Democratic leaders
away from a general sales tax
today and set them searching
for new sources of revenue, still
hopeful they might find way to
balance the budget in 1884.
The report that President elect
Roosevelt was "horriied" at re-
ports that be had endorsed a
general sales tax was interpret
ed Speaker Garner and Chair
man Collier of the house ways
committee as virtually killing
the sales tax proposal at this
session.
Representative Rainey of Hi.
noise, the Democratic leader,
said:
I don't think there be q gen
eral revenue bill passed at this
session. Well probably contin
ue the federal gasoline tax for
another year. 1t expires on
June 3d."
Collier announced postpone
ment OF the meeting of the ways
committee called to survey the
fiscal affairs of the federal gov
ernment, from January 8, to
January 4.
We will survey the whole
matter in executive session and
will cast about for other sources
of revenue" Collier said.
The Mississipplan said that be
would submit to the ways and
means committee a proposition
previously sponsored by Repre-
sentative McKeown, of Oklaho
ma, to levy q privilege or license
tax of one per cent on business
done by chain stores, and simi
lar interest businesses. He esti
mated it would return 100000,
600 a year.
