ANSWERS

1. Since 1929. The sheriff's office
was the first of the county offices to
l,e filled by popular vote. He is more
accountable to the judge of the su-

the former for cause. In case of re-

sehriff's office fall upon the coroner.

GASOLINE TAX UNNECESSARILY
HIGH.
To the Editor:

~ lIlC AIOAlO1
1t is high time for the motorists in
this state to comprehend the tremen-
dous annual toll exacted from them
in the form of gasoline taxes. Motor
lists in North Carolina pay 1-4c tax
per gallon on gasoline, &c state road
tax, 1-4c state inspection tax 1c led
eral tax This high rate of tax is UNI
necessary to meet requirements OF
the State. The increased number OF
automobiles registered and the in
creased mileage made by these cars
causes such increase in the gallons
of gasoline used as to make this high
tax rate unnecessary to meet require
ments of the State.
For instance, the gasoline tax col
lccted in 1884 amounted to 6,842, 900.
At the same rate of tax the gasoline
tax in 1885 amounted to $18,359,OOO
or nearly 100000 increase in one
year over the previous year
1f the tax rate on gasoline in North
Carolina had been only SO per gallon
during the year 1884, the total amount
Of revenue collected at that rate
would have exceeded the revenue col
lected at GO per gallon during the
year 1882 by total of $247, 479.88. Ii
the gasoline tax had been SO per gal
lon in 1885 instead of &c, the total
revenue collected at So per gallon
would have exceeded that collected
during 1888 at &c per gallon by 81
315,98211.
Estimating only a 1870 increase in
consumption of gasoline during 1886
over 1885 the revenue produced by
tax of AZ per gallon on the 1886 sales
revenue produced by &c per gallon
will be almost exactly the amount of
tax on the 1882 sales of gasoline. The

make the next defense of his title
on foreign shores instead of trying
to invade the heavyweight division
The presence of Joe Louis in the
unlimited division may have some
thing to do with Lewis desire to
stay in his own class.
Light Heavies Back in Favor
BY winning the unanimous de-
cision of referee Arthur Donovan
and the two judges over McAvoy,
the tall Negro went long way to-
ward rehabilitating the light-heavy-
weight division after siv sad years
during the reigns of Make Rosen-
bloom and Bob DIN. A crowd of
1890 paid $37,71224 to see the best
175-pound title fight since Tommy
Loughrsn and Jimmy Slattery
staged their whirlwind 15-round
battle in 1880. Lewis weighed 172f1
McAvoy 168ff1.
Lewis won by wide margin, but
for some unaccountable reason the
crowd booed when Joe HUMPHREYS
raised his hand
II was sorry to see the crowd boo
Lewis" commented McAvoy in his
dressing room. HE clearly won
although I didn't fight my best"
Swollen Right Hand
Although the stout-hearted En-
glishman, who conceded weight,
height and reach to the champion,
refused to say why he didn't fight
his best battle, one look at his swol-
len right hand explained why he
seldom threw a right hand punch
from the ninth round to the finish.
DR.. William Walker, commission
physician who examined it, said it
was badly bruised and would have
to be X-rayped to determine the ex-
act extent of the injury.
Through the first nine rounds, the
battle was almost evenly waged.
Fighting out of crouch, McAvoy
puzzled the champion by bobbing
and rolling and made Lewis miss
badly. Both tired through the late
rounds, and with McAvoy's right
hand practically useless, the tempo
slowed down. Lewis won the last
six rounds, frequently outscoring
the challenger three and four
punches to one. McAvoy's ring
cunning and clever defense I'M
doubtedly saved him from consider
able punishment, and possibly from
being floored.

with five minutes remaining. Dave
Williams converted three charity
losses and Ed (Jingles) Englehart
Tailed from the field to put the IN
diana college champions ahead one
point.
Hi Bender added point to even
things, but Gerald Roudebush con-
nected from the field for the game
winning points and Wilson added
another marker to the margin.
Northwestern outscored the Hoosiers
from the field, but free-throw &C
curacy provided the edge.
Indiana State paced De Paul, 16
to 10, at intermission and the lead
changed several times in the second
half. Free throws again were the
deciding factor in the outcome, the
Sycamores holding an edge on shots
from the field. Summaries:
