HOBBY RIDING
WITH
MAX CHAMBERS
WRITING

The art of writing has long been
cherished accomplishment that many
people have felt they were unable to
achieve, mostly because they have
never tried it. Writing remains
largely a labor of love based on an
open state of mind-a mood. Many
have trained themselves to write on
vocational basis but almost with
out exception the best workers in
America today started scribbling in
their spare time-hobby writing.
All civilizations have produced
scribes whose ingenuity gave us the
many forms of writing ON clay, tai
low, parchment, papyrus, and finally
paper, recording contemporary events
of interest. Paul, the apostle, wrote
fourteen books of the Bible and in
his day there was nothing unusual
about receiving an "Epistle from the
Apostle Paul" With the passing of

letter writing and legible penman-
ship rapidly fell into disrepute--
principally due to the new devices
of communication and the type
writer which has proved a real boon
to manuscript reading editors.
If you really want to hobby write
why not try to tell short story of
some interesting local event-either
fiction or fact-in brief paragraph?
1t is easy. Just be natural-be
yourself and use as few words as
possible to write your story as if you
were telling it to good friend.
Build it around these three factors
Introduction, body and conclusion
better explained by the old negro
preacher who told his congregation
he was going to preach his annual
sermon on the "Ravages of Nature"
He said, First Use gwina tell you
what Use gwina talk about, second,
Use gwina tell you, and, third, Use
gwina to tell you what Use done told
you"
You may get your greatest enjoy
ment from writing interesting fact or
feature articles on historical incl
dents, new developments, unusual
factories or occupations or current
events like regattas, reunions, and
conventions occurring and recurring
in your vicinity Writing is just a
simple form of expression. 1t is a
picture of thought-speech framed.

Want Federal Tax Off

The conference reports that legis-
latures of almost half of the states
have placed memorials before Con-
gress asking repeal of the federal
gasoline tax of one cent per gallon.
The Alabama and Kentucky legis-
latures recently pointed out that the
federal tax, as added to the state
levies, imposes burden upon users
of gasoline which is heavier than
they should be asekd to carry.
The petroleum and automobile in
terests also contend that city and
county gasoline taxes are economical
" unsound because they drive bust

are extremely costly to collect.

FIFTY VARYING SYSTEMS OF
MOTOR TAXES

Taxation of owners and users of
motor vehicles under a "bewildering
hodge-podge of SO varying systems,
is deplored in a report by the Ma
tional Highways Users Conference.
The conference, which recently
completed a survey of automotive
taxation, says that, with the excep-
ton of the gasoline tax. wide differ
ences are the rule not only as to
taxes imposed but also as to methods
used In computing levies.
Typical taxes levied against motor
lists are registration fees, property
taxes, excise taxes, sales taxes, privi-
lege taxes, occupation taxes, mileage
taxes, ton-mile taxes, certificate of
title fees, wheel taxes and gasoline
taxes.
20 Bases Computing Fees
The report cites 20 bases used in
computing registration fees. Among
these are fiat fees, horsepower, gross
weight, value, list price, age, kind OF
tires, number of times registered,
number of cylinders, kind of power,
mileages, and type of use.
The petroleum industry estimates
that it and it's customers pay POI
different kinds of taxes, 80 federal,
121 state, and Al local. Taxes paid
on property owned by the oil indus
try and on products sold by its
totalled S1,O46,149,575 in 1894.
All federal, state, and local taxes
paid that year amounted to $9,500,-
100000, according to estimates of
the National Industrial Conference
Board.
The petroleum industry and the
highway users conference, as we'll as
number of state legislatures, take
the position that state gasoline tax
alton is sound in principle but they
are opposed to the federal levy. They
contend the latter is not a benefit
tax because it's revenues are not
"earmarked" for highways but are
used for general governmental pur-
poses.
