What Are People
Thinking About?

Threatening clouds roll across the
skies and our peace loving nation is
/ troubled about future policies of Gov
ernment that are now being discuss
ed by statesmen and all our citizens
Then is it not fortunate. indeed, that
cOunter-interests and competitive
excitement exists in the World Ser
les, and in Fall football, and new
automobiles that have just come in
sight round the corner?
Mr.. and Mrs John O. Public agree
with the makers of such outstanding
cars as Buick that wonders and i'm
prOvements will never cease. as long
as accumulated experience. engineer
ing skill and the determination to
give the public the last word in
more than 40 new features for 1910"
has been realized. So. this latter fact
ties in with our observation that
there is something really pleasant
and interesting to talk about besides
the troubles of Europe, and the dan
gers that our own country may be
blown into seas, or skies. The news
on the business pages OF great news
papers confirm us, inasmuch as they
relate that the great factories and
assembly plants in different parts of
the country are crowded to capacity
trying to catch up with dealers or
ders for Bucks.
The coming automobile shows
throughout the country are being
held earlier this year-and that is
believed to be a matter of import

Everyone must know that the car
manufacturers are always adding

atiOnS. smoother riding advantages.
and easier car control. That seems to
be one of the joys of having a new
car. and perhaps it may explain why
so many people feel safe-with- Buick.
There is no room to dispute the
fact that the modern car has become

Are We A Race OF

Passing the buck" is a universe

Republicans. or some other equally
vague and dOcile agent. Seldom do
people turn in retrospect and sur

In spite of rumors and indications
of a war BOOM" private savings in
this country are still about as ac-

savings of the private citizen must
be coaxed out of hiding into the

The reasons savings have gone in

DAIRY MONTH RINGS THE BELL

What organized merchandising can
do for agriculture is vividly illus
| trated in report of the results
achieved during Dairy Month, which
was observed last June.
Reason for Dairy Month was OBJ
vious. Butter production in March
was the highest on record. Large
government holdings of butter cast a
shadow over the market. Ii became
apparent to dairymen that great ef-
fort was necessary to obtain maxi
mum consumption to help stabilize
farm income in the dairy producing
areas throughout the country.
The producers. represented by the
National Cooperative Milk Producers
Federation, turned to the retailers
for aid. Chain stores and others i'm
me0iately responded Ambitious
plans were laid and carried out
whereby butter was advertised and
displayed to maximum advantage
during all of June. Committees of
producers were organized in many
states. and worked effectively with
the organized retailers.
Upshot WIS that, i'm results, the
campaign fully realized the hopes of
all concerned. The food chain stores
alone sold ll.3 per cent more butter
than in the same month year be-
fore. 3l.2 per cent more cheese, lis
per cent more canned milk, 14.2 per
cent more fluid milk. and 347 per
cent more cream. The increase in
butter sales amounted to more than
5000. 900 pOunds-and each pound of
butter represents nearly ten quarts
of milk. Similar results were doubt
less obtained by other types of stores
which participated in the Month. but
for which records are not available.
agriculture has discovered that |
modern merchandising is one OF its |
best friends. Consumers have made a |
similar discovery. The many produc-
er-consumer campaigns. of which |
Dairy Month was one, pay eloquent
tribute to that

HIGHWAY NEWS

Recently published figures by th'
! Public Roads Administration cover
ing the average cost of motor vehicl,
taxation, which gave Delaware {
high rating in this taxation, caused
w. w. Mack, chief engineer of the
Delaware State Highway Depart,
| ment, to issue statement covering
the matter.
Commenting on the news release
from the federal bureau, Mr.. Mack
stated, While this is an annual re-
lease. | do not recall that the cost
to the car owner of the federal ex-
else taxes is thus broadcast, which
from the best available figures
amounted to the sum of S2S5,2l3,125
in 1888, or an average of 1857 for
each motor vehicle in the United
States. or this sum. Uncle Sam di-
verts for other than highway uses
approximately One-half.
"As is usual in statistics, these
tell only a part of the story. The
figures quoted for the year 1898:
since the beginning of 1899 six states
have increased their registration fees
lille in Delaware the operators Ii
cense fee was reduced one-half. and
the registration fee for passenger
cars was reduced II per cent. In
addition, nearly half the states still
assess motor vehicles as personal
property. In 1898 the amount of
personal property taxes so raised in
these states was estimated to ex-
ceed One-sixth OF the total of license
and registration fees collected in the
entire United States. In Delaware
no personal property tax is collected.
If these facts are taken into consid-
GRAFTON the relative standing of the
several states will be radically
changed
Turning to gasoline taxes. in
1898 Delaware was one of eighteen
states with a Accent tax; nineteen
states had higher rates running up
to cents. while ten had Scent tax
and one a tax of cents.
ut is evident. therefore. that the
Delaware mOtorist paying a Accent
tax is below rather than above the
average for the whole country.
"The method employed by the
Public Roads Administration for de-
termining the amount of gas tax paid
by the average owner is to divide the
total amount collected in the state
by the total of registered motor We
hicles. AS a method of measuring
the tax paid by the average owner.
This method is of little value, as it
fails to take account of the large
amount used in trucks-Or by cars
Of foreign registration. sales at some
filing stations in Delaware are in
excess of 50 per cent to Out-Of-state |
,ars and trucks.
1T is significant that Delaware col |
ects a greater amount for each cent |
If tax per registered car than any |
)f the states. even than in the state !
With a 2-cent tax. and a larger aver /
lge per car than six of the ten states
aving a scent tax.
"The comparison would be even
more favorable but for the fact that !
considerable number of the states
lake no refunds for highway
lse as is the case in Delaware.
Il think it will he generally agreed
hat these facts indicate two things:
irst, that there is relatively little tax
vasiOn in Delaware. and. second,
hat the out-of-state motorists are
cntributing substantial amount to
he support OF our highway system"
