steel cage, with shatter-proof glass
enclosing the bars. Gargantua is

TAXATION AND
DEPRESSION
w. Parvis Taylor, Secretary
of Petroleum Industries
Writes
HIGH GASOLINE TAXES

Factors which make for depres-
sions by reducing the amount OF
spending money available to the
average citizen may be found il
the growth Of taxation, in the opin-
ion of w. Purves Taylor, ecretary
Of the Associated Petroleum Indus
tries Of Delaware. Few people
realize how rapidly taxes grow
Mr.. Taylor explained, adding that
in Delaware motor vehicle taxes
have increased 1850 per cent in Is
years.
THE prices of automotive neces-
sites have been reduced to levels
at which people could afford to BUY
were it not for taxes" said Mr.
Taylor. But when they have to
give their money to the tax col
lector they cannot spend it in
trade. For instance, last year the
state gasoline tax cost the average
Delaware motorist $31.15. He also
paid $16.98 in registration and
other fees, making his total state
automotive tax bill SASH.
"On top of these levies he had TO
pay various Federal taxes totaling
S1444 Most costly of these was
the Federal gasoline tax which
alone came to $867. State and
Federal levies combined brought
the motorists total tax bill to $62-
81. Three facts stand out. First,
Federal taxes increased the motor
lists tax bill by 800 per cent. Sec
ond, his total bill was 1850 per
cent higher than the $26.67 tax bill
of 1922. Third, his gasoline tax
bill, totaling S39.82 represented a
big share of the tax cost.
The average citizen has uses
for his money other than paying
taxes. When he is permitted to
spend that money on rs own needs.
trade increases and prosperity
comes. Reverse the process, and
we have depression. The choice
seems to be the citizens reason
able taxes and prosperity, or high
taxes and depression"

GOOD ROADS REDUCE
LOGGING COSTS

Logs" the veteran timberman
will tell you, "are where you find
them!" But, after you find them,
there's still the problem Of getting
the logs out Of the woods to the
mill. The question Of transporta-
ton, then, is one of major import
ance to profitable logging opera
tions. Cheap logs are those that
can be swiftly and economically
brought out Of the woods to the
mill. Cheap logs are, naturally,
those most desired by the logger
and many a veteran operator has
become convinced that rolling
them out on pneumatic tires has
dragging them out by Anticipated
methods beat a mile. Pneumatic
tires has dragging them out by
antiquated methods beat a mile.
Pneumatic tires suggest truck, a
truck must travel a road and there
you have my story.
Ten years ago roads first began
playing a prominent part in the
American logging industry's excit-
ing drama. Slowly but surely, the
past decade, Ioggers everywhere
have realized the tremendous saw
ings that can be obtained by trans
porting logs by truck instead of by
rail. The depression is largely re-
sponsible for this new logging
method. The discovery that the
railroad Is not the only solution to
the transportation problem of the
man with timber was made by men
thrown out Of work by the slump
in the lumber market.
These men had an intense desire
to remain self-sustaining and it
was not long before they learned
that they could buy small tracts of
timber near good roads and haul it
by truck to small mills where it
could be sold at a nice profit. Soon,
however, the supply of lumber ad-
jacent to the highway was ex-
hausted. To BE able to continue to
haul their product by truck. the
energy and resourcefulness of these
loggers led them to construct new
roads back from the primary and
secondary highways where no
roads existed before to reach other
stands of timber They built dirt
roads for summer use and all
weather roads for use throughout
the year. They found the con
struction cost Of one of these roads
