Opposition Reasons.
One large gasoline company pre-
sents the following reasons why
the Federal Government should
not impose tax on gasoline:
l. The tax will have to be
borne by the public. Gasoline
consumption is already declining.
Any further tax burden will &C
celerate this decline which, in
time, will be converted into fur
ther unemployment in the
petroleum industry, reduction
of automobile demand, and fur
ther unemployment in that
industry.
2. The tax burden upon gaSo-
line is already unfair, eXorbitant
gasoline tax even now imposed
throughout the United States is
about equal to the entire whole
sale price of gasoline itself. Said
tax represents about 81 per cent
Of the gross value OF crude oil,
since the average price of crude
oil at the we'll during 1881 was
ST cents per barrel and the gaSo-
line tax in 1881 equaled 644 cents
per barrel.
8. The tax is already SO exorbi-
tant that it has produced fraudu-
lent tax evasion which, in many
parts of the country, has reached
the proportions of criminal
racket" which small "bootlegger"
oil companies are taking advan-
tage Of. Additional gasoline taxa
ton would further serve to aggra-
vate this already serious tax
evasion.
The Government in the neces-
sity OF increasing revenue, instead
of taking an action discriminatory
against any one or few industries,
should impose a tax upon the
output of all manufacturers in the
United States. A tax of l per cent
upon such output would yield ap-
proximately $500, 100000 per an
mum, and the attention of Con-
greSS is invited to this species of
taxation,

Oil Institutes Statement.

4Le american feCrOleum lnSJl-
tute in a quoted statement in the
Automotive Daily News, a trade
publication, makes its protest.
Last Thursday was set forth as
gasoline tax day at which time
various motoring bodies joined in
further protest.
The Institutes statement, in
part, is as follows:
"The Federal gasoline tax pro-
poSal OF ! cent per gallon, revenue
to be used for general purposes,
has become a menace again and
we are taking what steps we can
to combat it. Although the House
Ways and Means Committee and
the Treasury Department favor
ably received the suggestion that
a manufacturers sales tax be sub
Stituted for the Federal levy on
gasoline, latest advices from
Washington indicated that it now
is proposed to levy both.
"The manufacturers tax would
be 2 per cent, the Federal gaso-
Inc tax / cent, both making, in
effect, a Federal tax of around
27 per cent on the wholesale price
OF gasoline, now about 4 cents
per gallon. They would lift the
tax assessment of States, now
averaging 4 cents per gallon and
with the average price of gaso-
line 13 cents per gallon, from the
present rate of 30.8 per cent, to
more than 40 per cent. You will
notice also that while the gaso-
line tax income generally has been
devoted to the cause of good
roads, this Federal tax would ap-
ply the revenue to general pur-
poses and budget balancing.
ut Is interesting to note that
the tax produced 1920, 796 for Ore
gon in 1919. On March North
Dakota instituted gasoline tax
of IA cent per gallon and collected
1851 ,006 in 1919. On March IT
New Mexico instituted a tax of
2 cents per gallon and collected
$86, 139. On April Colorado also
instituted a tax, at l cent per
gallon, and collected 1924 4,573.
Total collections in this first wear
OF gasoline taxation amounted to
81 ,022,514. The lowest tax rate.
that of North Dakota, produced
the largest revenue, and the high
est tax rate, that Of New Mexico,
produced the least.
Up to Consumer.
There is not the slightest pos
Sible chance the consumer can
avoid paying this tax. Gasoline
prices, both wholesale and retail.
are so low 1t must be passed on
to him. Undoubtedly an increase
IN the cost would tend to reduce
consumption, which already
shows indications of decIining
and this probably would result
in further unemployment. Also
the Federal tax, in effect increas-
ing State taxes l cent per gallon
to make the range of tax rates
3 to 8 cents per gallon, would
aggravate the already serious sit
uatlon OF gasoline bootlegging and
tax evasion.
THE Federal Government homes
to collect $165, 100000 from this
source, but even if, by expensive
enforcement measures and the
higeSt efficiency, this entire
amount could be collected-a pos
sibility we seriously question-it
would serve to encourage the
blending of gasoline upon which
the tax had been paid with non
taxable products, such as kero-
sene and naphtha and distillates.
and put upon the bootleg market,
and to some extent the legitimate
gasoline market, a food of in
ferior and possibly harmful motor
fuel"
Evening star., 1932-02-28

On the basis Of 1880 gasoline
consumption by motor vehicles,
the last year for which complete
figures are available by States,
the American Automobile ASso-
citation estimated that a 1-cent
Federal gasoline tax would i'm
pose an additional burden on
motorists in the various States in
the following amounts:
Alabama, $1,725, ,370; Arizona,
$760,440; Arkansas, $1,386, 800;
California, $13,355, $50; Colorado,

Sarajevo Still Feels
Effects of World War

Sarajevo.-This small city to
which the spotlight of the world
ever returns as the spot where the
World war began, repeated a grew
some harvest from that conflict, ac-
cording to figures recently present
ed at a women's pacifist meeting
here.
IT will be remembered that the
Drina river was the scene of the
first war operations between Austria
and Serbia. According to the
Pacifist organizations figures, that
part of the Drina province on the
right bank, comprising Is election
districts, now numbers 21,236 fa-
therless children, 6,1S3 war orphans,
S,735 dependent children of war in
valids, 1924 undernourished and an
additional $50 which starved. while
917 were morally corrupted. If the
II districts on the left bank are
added, 1t was declared that the to-
tai Of unfortunate children would
exceed 100000.

NEW TREATMENT
SEEN FOR ANEMIA
"Stratford Hall" Ancestral
Home of Robert E. Lee at
Richmond, Virginia
CULTURE OF OLD SOUTH

Cincinnati.-New light has been
thrown upon the cause and treat
ment of pernicious anemia by mem
bers of the staff of the college of
medicine, University of Cincinnati,
through investigations whose pre-
liminary results were announced at
the university.
Studies along this line have been
carried out by DR.. Roger S Morris,
professor of internal medicine, and
his associates. They emphasize
that it is still in an experimental
stage.
AS a result of these observations
new treatment for perniciOus
anemia may be developed, the an
nOuncement stated. Medical au-
thorities throughout the country
are said to be watching the work
with interest.
Findings will be reported by Doc
tor Morris in a paper to be present
ed before the Association of Amer
ican Physicians, meeting at Atlantic
City. Early stages of the work have
been outlined in the Cincinnati Jour
nal of Medicine and the Jour
nal of the American Medical Asso-
citation.
Explained in nontechnical terms

ch n nf fAh
solution of normal human gastric
juice is given by intramuscular in
lection to anemia patients almost
immediate Improvement sets in.
Results are manifested by an in
crease in the number of red blood
cells and hemoglobin, the coloring
matter of the blood. There is also
an increase in strength, gain in
weight, and marked Improvement in
the general condition of the pa
tient.
What effect it may produce on the
spinal cord changes, frequently
present in this disease. has not yet
been determined. The investigation
is expected to continue at least two
years. The observations indicate a
substance present in the gastric
juice of normal individuals which
tends to keep the red blood cells
and hemoglobin at a normal level
through stimulation of the bone
marrow.

2OO-Year-Old Cemetery
Has Rooted Over Graves

Berlin, Md.-The quaintest ceme-
terry in the United States is located
on the Mason-Dixon line, at Bethel
church, northwest of Whaleyville,
near here. Peaked shingle-built roofs
instead Of imposing marble monu-
ments mark the graves. This unique
cemetery is thought to be about two
hundred years old.
As if to protect those buried there
some one, decades ago, constructed
peaked shingle roofs over the
graves. These shelters are about
three feet high in the middle, the
sides touching the ground.
Built of cypress wood and shingles
these roofs run the length of the
graves, forming their only location,
as no mounds are visible. Some of
the lumber has rotted by this time.

Historic Delaware
State House Passes

Dover, Del.-The Delaware
state house, historic landmark
of the Colonial states, will pass
out of service soon, giving place
to a modern building.

next regular session Of the Del
aware legislature convenes.
The original building is the
second oldest state house in the
country remaining in service.
That at Annapolis, Nd, is one
of an earlier construction.
Since 1777 the Delaware
house Of representatives has
been meeting in the old struc-
ture.

Put Into Wrong River

Nashua, \. H.-If fisherman Her
bert Hoover wants to catch the trout
raised for him at the local govern
ment hatchery he'll have to trans
fer his angling operations from the

EXPECT MILK PRICE CUT
Influx of Western Product Held
Menace to Shore Producers

It is believed there will be furth-
er decreases in milk prices at
Chestertown cooling stations ship
ping milk to Philadelphia, due,
partly, to the influx of western

that the Philadelphia market has
been flooded for several months
with an oversupply.

WEIGHT YOUR A

For 20 years the Negro has depended upon party"
traditions for the vindications of his rights, but today. he
IS shot, burned and lynched, without a murmur from any
OF our government officials. We spend hundreds Of mil
hons OF dollars a year for the enforcement of the 18th
amendment, and not a dime for the 18th, 18th and 18th
amendments. One, to keep people from drinking what
they want, the other to protect human life, justice and
liberty. The Negro must think of the man and not the
party. If it is possible for you to find his heart, Find It.
Study the man who is to run your state and government.
AS an American citizen the Negro has shown his loyalty
through the annals of history. He has fought side by side
the other races, and shed blood for the freedom Of De-
mocracy. The Negro is tired of being called the "Timid
Negro"-he is not going to listen to these old worn out
promises any longer. He is going to ask himself these
questions when he goes to the polls Nov. 8. Aren't you
tired of swallowing all these 18th hour promises? Aren't
you tired Of being segregated all over this country?
Aren't you tired Of the burning and lynching Of Negroes?
Aren't you tired Of the harassing indignities heaped upon
Negroes? Aren't you tired of these last minute CONVEX
sions made by two tongued politicians? Aren't you tired of
being a dog catcher, of rights and equal opportunities?
You can only judge the future by the past. You only
know men by the record made in the cool of the day and
not by what they say in the heat Of a campaign.

Tuesday November s, is Citizenship Day. If you
are a citizen on Tuesday, November 8 and are appreclatve
for the protection of Society you will go to the polls and
cast your ballot for your chosen candidates and according
to the record that the candidates have made and you have
and know of. Not from the paid politicianers, Not from
the bread line pulpit moochers. Not from any one who
are making their living from the political influence which
the candidates he is boosting possesses. Common sense
ought to tell you that every man that has a political job
under palitical office holders, is duty bound to boost for
his own hide. 1t is your duty as progressive citizens to
keep your self informed of the record of the candidate in
the public office when the record is being made. The
Omaha Guide has been severely critized for publishing
the records of various candidates that has come before
them,in many instances. 1t is not the intention of the
through the columns of the paper of any public man seek
ing office. But it is our job to keep the columns of the
paper open to the truthas near as we are able, to obtain
and to pass the same on to you, for you to pass your judg-
ment on at the ballotboX. 1t is also-our duty to keep the
columns of the paper open for mutual expression of the
readers aud all those who desire to express themselves
therein. We are to serve as a medium of exchange of
higher ideals for the best of all humanity. This we have
tried to do through the cool and the heat Of this entire
campaign. If we have failed we are sorry. If we have
been of any service to you we are glad. We have tried to
give you the records of the candidates aspiring to the p-
litical honors to the best of our ability. We hope that you
have been sufficiently informed concerning the records
of all candidates, we have carried through the columns of
our paper. So on November 8, you can inteligently cast
your ballot and your own judgment as to the best interest
of society. Think. Think. Think. Before you vote and
cast your ballot according to the dictation of your own
conscience.

thewB, Democrat.
Mr.. Wilhelm has been a member of the Utilities
Board Of Directors for twelve years and is thoroughly ia
miliar with the Boards policy of providing efficient man.
agement and at the same time furnishing gas and water
at low rates. Much of the outstanding success of the
Metropolitan Utilities District can be attributed to Mr..
Wilhelm.
Mr.. Matthews is a capable lawyer and business
man, and will give the same careful thought and attention
to the municipal light and water plants that has charac-
terized his own personal successes.
All people of both parties who believe that the
Utilities District, which operates Omaha's municipality
owned water and gas plants, should have careful and con-
sentative management, want to see Mr.. Matthews and
Mr.. Wilhelm elected. These men will be dealing with
commodities which Omaha people use every day, water
and gas, and Omaha people have no more important Sc
lections t omake next Tuesday than the members of the
Metropolitan Utilities District Board.
