GASOLINE TAX
CUT URGED BY
TRUCK OWNERS
Reduction Of State Levy to
3 Cents Sought by
Group.

Committee reports are to be pre-
scnted and six directors elected Mt
the Motor Truck Association Of In
diana convention today in the Lin
coin
Reduction Of the gasoline tax rate
from 4 to 3 cents a gallon was rec
commended yesterday by the private
owners division Of the convention.
The rate slash was proposed by c.
f. Foreman, group chairman.
Mr.. Foreman charged that diver
sion of gas tax funds from highway
uses accounts for the present rates.
The group also favored elimination
of the ! cent Federal gasoline tax,
and opposed efforts to include prl-
vate truck owners under Public
Service Commission regulations
John v. Lawrence, Washington,
American Trucking Association s
general manager, said that truckers
of all types must organize if the
industry is to protect its interests.

STREETS DARK
IN HUNTINGDON;
FUND DEPLETED
Mayor Bangs Faces New
Crisis in His Battle
Against Utility.
By I Hitcd Press


HUNTINGTON, Ind, Dec. H.
Streets were dark in this city Of
$4,000 last night with only the glow
of Christmas lights showing in the
business district.
All street lights, supplied by a
tiny municipal electric plant, were
turned off when Mayor C. w. H.
Canti-utility) Bangs was informed
there was only As cents in city funds
for light plant operation.
The situation was another crisis
in Bangs long fight against the
Northern Indiana Power Co. tas-
pite court injunctions and lmprlS-
onment he has built up the M.
nicipal plant in competition with
the power company
The Chamber of Commerce late
Yesterday rushed installation Of the
Christmas decorations. A few white
bulbs were interspersed in the rows
of green and white lamps stretched
across the downtown streets.
Downtown merchants, many OF
whom supported Bangs in his cam
paign for cheaper electricity, were
wavering in their support.
Support Wavering
Many citizens believed the mayor S
long court fight with the utility
wasted money which should have
been used to keep the street lights
burning.

a municipal utility" DR.. w. H. Spen-
Ger said, but this sort of thing is
going to cause him to lose lot OF
friends"
Banks, lawyer and publisher of a
Huntington newspaper, was sure he
would find a solution, although there

ury for street lights until Jan. l..
Two years ago wnen the power
company cut off current to his news
paper for alleged payment of
a bill, he lacked up the rear wheels
of an cid truck to obtain power to
run his press.
The $50 stores and residences
supplied by the municipal plant
were not affected by the shutdown
since they are cash customers.
The shortage of city funds also
halted collection of garbage, another
condition which apparently can not
be remedied until the 1886 budget
becomes effective.

 Rising, Says Expert
Mars and Venus in Evening Sky-Great Dpper Found
 Between Leo and North Celestial Pole

with their spiral arms curving h opposite directions.
 Between Virgo and Canes Vena- tici lies a cluster group visible to the naked eye and known as Coma Berenices, Hair of Berenice. Like the Pleiades, this is a numerous aggregation of stars which are physically related: they form 9 GTavitationally united system which moves through space togeth- CT as a unit. Within the cluster the stars move relative to one ar. other. In the skyy area, occupied hy this constellation, there is a very fine spiral nebula which is turned edgewise to the earth and shows a dark, light-absorbing band that stretches around the outer edge of the bright structure and the brilliant central mass. This nebula, of course, is- in no way connected with the cluster of Coma but is far outside even of our gall axy.
 The Planets
 Venus is brilliant object in the western sky after sunset and is far enough from the sun to remain above the horizon until map-timc. It is still improving its position and will remain with us yet for several months. It is interesting to study

the autumnal equinox. Several thousand years ago, this equinox lay close to Spica but the process sional movement of the equinoxes has shifted it's position to the westward Spica resembles Regu- Jus closely in color; both are type E stars in which the lines of the element helium are prominent. To the observer on the earth Spica Is only slightly the brighter of the two but in reality 1t Is a much greater star, for it's distance from us is nearly four times that of Regulus.
 Gamma Virginls Interesting
 The nearest bright star westward of Spica is Gamma Virginis, an in- teresting double star, composed of two third magnitude stars which form a binary system, the two units Of which move in orbits about ore another, or, more accurately, about their common center of gravity. They can easilyy be seen in a small telescope. Between Gamma aud Denebola, the bright star winch marks the eastern extremity of ANSOS 10 h 6ICaL dtS 10 LC- markedly rich in spiral nebuias. In this area there is a super-galaXy consisting of many such nebulas forming physical unit. Each spiral nebula itself Is now known to consist of vast numbers of indi- vidual stars similar to that to which the sun and all the visible stars in the heavens belong. This a1l yIn Ua a Io oA a Vo a htrndrnd A more stellar galaxies.
 Between Leo and the north ce- lestial pole will be found the Great Dipper. The handle of the Dipper extends eastward and by following to the brilliant first magnitude star, Arcturus, in the constellation of Bootes. This star is of yellow ish hue, more pronounced in color than our sun. It's distance from Us Is about for light-years and its iu- minosity is about one hundred times that of the sun. The group of stars which lies within the curve of the dipper handle, belongs in great part to the constellation of Canes Venatici, the Hunting Dogs, Formerly this was a part of Ursa Major. The brightest star in Van atici is sometimes called Cor Caro- Il, Heart of Charles, after King Charles I of England. Needless to say, this name is but little used. Even a small telescope is sufficient to show it's nature as double star; one component is yellow, the other bluish and the contrast is heightened by their close proxim.- ty. It is one of the prettiest col- ored doubles in the entire sky. Tfiis system is over two, hundred light years away from us. Tn this same constellation there Is also very fine doirble spiral nebula which Is not visible in a small telecope but tbere are number of excellent photographs available. The two nebulas appear almost in contact.

it's moonlike phases with a teles- cope. At the present 1t will be found to be waning to narrower crescent although 1t Is growing in brightness. This is due to the fact that it is approaching the earth It's maximum brilliancy will be att tained in August. Mars affords US a very good opportunity for obser- vation as it attains maximum bril- liancy on the ninth when it will be nearly as bright as Sirius although h of very different color. Mars is dis tinctly reddish in hue. It Is easily
 found in Virgo, close to Gamma Virginis and will not be confused with any of the stars of that con- stellation. On the sixth, Mars is in opposition and on the twelfth 1t is nearest the earth for the pres- ent period.
 Jupiter lies in the constellation of Libra which follows Virgo and therefore does not rise until after map-time. However, it is improv- ing it's position and will soon make Its appearance on our monthly chart.
