AUTOMOBILE TAXES
ARE | II BILLION
Ten Percent Above Previous
High Record Establish
ed Last Year

Charlotte, Nov. 15.-Motor vehicles
taxes this year will reach the record
shattering proportions Of approximate
ly $1,600,O00,0O0 according to prelim
mary estimates made public today bv
Coleman w. Roberts, President Of
the Carolina Motor Club.
"This total will be 10 per cent above
the previous high record of $1,448,-
100000 established last year." Mr.. Rob-
erts said.
''Of this years total, approximate
ly $4O0o00O0O will represent collec-
tons of state registration fees, $780,
100000 state gasoline taxes $355 000-
900 Federal excise taxes and sos COO,-
COO personal property and city and
county taxes.
"The principal reason why motor
lists object to this tremendous burden
of taxes is that they arc not getting
a dollars worth of roads for a dol
lars worth of taxes. Approximately
$1700C0000 is diverted from the road
fund and spent on non-highway pur-
poses while additional uncountcd mil
lions are turned over to local govern
ments with little or no assurance that
the entire amount will be spent for
road construction.
'"These twin evils Of diversion and
dispersion must be eliminated if we
hope to make any real progress to-
ward building cur highways up to a
point where they are adequate to
handle modern motor traffic with eff
ficiency and dispatch. 1t is on account
of these twin evils that the Bureau
Of Public Roads recently found it nee
essary to warn that many state high
way departments are facing bank
ruptcy-that they are rapidly reaching
the point where maintenance and ad-
ministration will utilize all available
money with little or nothing left over
for new construction"

week that summer in the woods.
The days would have been dull for
those accustomed to more ex-
citing adventures, but there were
pickerel and sunfish in the little
lake, the water was limpid and
lovely and swept by the fragrance
of pond lilies, and my father in
his holiday mood was very good
company.
It was one night under the stars
that 1 asked him:
why didn't Uncle Jerry mar
ry?"
"He could never settle down."
81 believe I am like him,
father"
st hope not"
"Why?"
He brought his answer out after
some hesitation. HE hasn't full
filed the promise Of his youth,
Jerry"
"But he is rich"
'1s he? No one can be rich
with a starved SOUL"
You see how old-fashioned we
were, even then, to talk of souls
But to my father and to me souls
were as real as the stars in the
heavens or the lilies in the ponds.
1 was not willing to admit, how
ever, that Uncle Jerry's lack of
soul was a handicap. HE seems
to get lot out of things"
what things ?"
"Oh, well, good times and all
that"
"Good times aren't everything.
Being good and doing good are
important. And 1 should hate to
think you would be satisfied to
look upon life as your Uncle Jerry
looks on it. He is my brother,
and 1 love him. Butt don't want
you to be like him."
He brought out the last SEN
tence with the passionate force
which made him such a compelling
preacher. 1 have often thought
that if he had had a church in
some big community the world
would have heard of him. His sin
certify was absolute. He believed
what he spoke. His life was mar
row, but his mind roamed in
broad spaces, and as for his spirit,
it touched at times the far hori-
ION.
We fell then, 1 remember, into
a long silence. l broke it to tell
