S75O,OOO OF GAS TAX
PAID BY TRANSIENTS
[Confinned from - I'D

[C0nfiHNed from First Paee
The figures disclose the fact that
40 per cent of the gasoline tax is
paid by vehicles licensed from other
states and 46 per cent Of all sales to
trucks we're sold to trucks bearing
other state licenses than Delaware,
a condition that proved especially
surprising because of the generally
wiCe spread idea that trucks driving
through this State, were not paying
their share towards the mainte-
nance Of our highways.
The results were also surprising
in view Of the fact that the census
was taken since the raise of a one
cent additional tax on gasoline,
thus refuting the theory held by
many that the increased tax would
lose the sale of gasoline to visiting
automobile drivers.

OLD ANDY JACKSON
LIVES AGAIN TODAY
Tribulations of His Rise To
Power Revealed in Re-
cent Movie
BY LESLIE EICHEI.
Central Press Staff Writer

NOW THAT motion pictures have
gone in for American historical char
acters-such as Andrew Jackson in
"The Gorgeous Hussy" Americans
are becoming interested in the history
of their own land.
In rapidly growing nations people
have little time to review history. The
United States, however, is no longer
a rapidly growing nation. It's people
have begun to review history in or
der to see whether the steps they
taken-and still must take-are in the
right direction
Jackson is a good character to
study. He was purely of the people.
Neither Constitution nor court stood
in his way, if he believed they were
being used against the interests of
the people.
On the other hand, he put backbone
into the Constitution, made the Fed
eral power supreme when states
rights threatened to disrupt the ma
ton 80 years before the Civil war And
unfortunately, his means of demo-
cratizing" money brought on a panic
after he had retired from the presi-
dency.
A MAN OF THE PEOPLE
In the Gays preceding Jackson,
when his rise to power who being
fouht, there were people who con-
trolled the means Of pubglic express
sion who asserted that "Old Hickory"
was an impossible creature.
But more the TRADE rose against
jackson, the greater was the faith
the common man placed in him.
Some historians say that the power
full opponents of jackson played their
cards stupidity, and virtually insured
his election. Yet, at the time, those
opponents were loudly applauded.
They hadn't even learned their les
son after Jackson had been elected
president and had served four years
and was running again. Their anger
was ever more vehement then-and
again they dealt their cards stupidity.
There was even a third party start
ed-one of those violent parties de-
pendent upon prejudices, an anti
Freemason party.
1t was presumed that this would
aid Henry Clay, of the National Re
publican, whom citizens with out
standing names supported.
But it did not. Clay carried merely
six states, in spite of all the shout
ing his oratory had created Those six
states were Massachusetts, Rhode Is
|land, Connecticut, Delaware Mary
land and Kentucky (Clay's home
Gtate).
Vermont gave her votes to the
AntizMasons.
Woodrow Wilson, in "a History of
the American People," says: "Mr.
Clay lacked the unhesitating holiness
and audacity loved on the frontier;
the address of the careful politician:
brought his free and telling eloquence
to the service of old ideals, merely
quickened by new affairs; was not
wholly of the west"
