did this for the London Times, Eng

English friend the De Blowitz book,

said the Englishman.
After the war, the English cor

boast that it was the American

FlunRed Artist
EUens Things
With Boppers

New York board of examiners, gives
an exhibition by which the public
is to judge whether the boaro
bopped them unjustly. Among the
exhibitors is Max Weber, dis
tinguished artist, represented in the
Metropolitan museum, who was
among those flunked by the board
With his picture goes a note to the
board in which Mr.. Weber tells what
he thinks of it and cites his sue
cess as proof of their incompe-
tence."
Mr.. Weber, a native of Rus
sia, here at the age of 10, was a
mOdernist, so far out of bounds
that the academicianS would
turn in a riot call whenever any
body mentioned his name. He
has been marked up more by
the critics probably than any
other man in America.
The turn in Mr.. Weber's fortunes
came in 1925, when a discerning
New York Sun critic, among 9th
ers, piped him up as a thoroughly
competent artist. His pictures sell.
He has a nice home at Great Necb
Long Island.

Gasoline Taxes i'm Delaware

recommend that $500 motor
vehicles owned by Delaware
citizens be equipped with gas
oline tax meters, says w. Pur-
Wis Taylor, secretary Of Asso-
ciated Petroleum Industries of
Delaware, but he says: 81 am
confident that such a meter
would enlighten the average
motorist. This imaginary tax
meter would disclose to the
motor vehicle operator that
gasoline taxes alone were cost
ing him 1-cent every four min
utes or scents every hour he
drove.
Recent research has dis
closed that thousands of Della
ware motor vehicle owners
have no concept Of the amount
of the gasoline taxes they pay
and the very important part
these taxes plpay in the aver
age family budget.
Gasoline taxes are paid, a
little at a time, and therefore,
are somewhat painless. How
ever, if the average motorist
received an annual gasoline
tax bill of S4O.23 in one lump
sum the annual bill would be
visualized and the resentment
it would arouse would be so
general that pressure would
be brought for immediate re-
lief.
''By using the most advanc-
ed methods Of research and
manufacturing and the exer-
else of every possible econ
omy, the oil industry has cut
the price of gasoline squarely
in half during the past seven
teen years. AT the same time
the quality has been material
~ improved, but unfortunate
", mounting taxes have made
it impossible for the public to
benefit fully by our enter
prise.
"Plans for reducing state
gasoline taxes 1-cent and for
the elimination Of the federal
levy of 1-cent per gallon have
been approved by hundreds of
thousands of Delaware motor
vehicle owners. An imagin-
airy tax meter clicking off the
hourly cost would quickly
swing the uniformed into
line and thus enable the en-
tire $500 motor vehicle own
ers to move forward to the ac-
complishment of gasoline tax
reduction in 1889. When any
sales tax reaches the proper
tions of 40 per cent it becomes
restrictive and inequitable.
Automotive transportation Of
goods and human beings is to-
day ranked as a primary eco
nomic necessity but extreme
taxation is tending to place
this vital transportation ma
chineIy in the luxury class.
"Tax-metered mileage would
dramatize this burden. Re
lief will come when every mo-
tor vehicle owner of the state

purge. It has suffered for its
former sins through the weight
of depression, taxation, regula-
ton, supervision, Illustration,

when added together, spell loss.
Having paid higher wages,
having paid all manner Of new
taxes, having become resigned
to increased costs Of bookkeep-

famous pile of regulation, where
does business stand today?
Business stands In the posi-
ton Of catering only to the SO
per cent, a vast proportion of
which is living on the relief
that business contributed in tax
payments. They seem to have
forgotten almost completely the
