State Gasoline Tax Collections
Exceed Auto Factory PayrOIIS

Gasoline-tax revenue Of the
states in 1910 exceeded the total
pay rolls for the year of all the
automobile. body and parts fac
tories in the United States, re-
ports the American Petroleum In
dustries Committee.
Total pay rolls of the auto
mobile industry were $500, 100000,
as compared with $S6S, 200, 600 col
lected in gasoline taxes by the
states. Automobile-facto workers
earned an average Of slightly less
than S35 a week, or $500, for the
year" says the committee. Com
pared with those annual average
earnings of $1,SOO, state gasoline
tax collections averaged $1.96O
for each OF the $4,000 automotiye
workers employed in 1910, or $3.50
more than the average annual wage
"Federal-gasoline taxes reached
an estimated total of S286,O00, 900
in 1910. equivalent to s645 for
each person gainfully employed in
the automobile industry. Thus, to-
tai gasoline taxes collected in the
United States in 1910 averaged per
automotive worker $8O5 higher
than his wages"

noted by Nanita B. Sherlock, com
missioner of state lands and in

the department. Nearly half OF the
total of 7O4 mineral permits have
been issued during the past two

the prospector can then procure a

BASIS OF REVIEW
The figures on mineral produc-
tion are the figures upon gold.
silver, copper and lead. No zinc
whatever was produced during the
year reviewed.
CONCLUSION
For those of us who are inter
ested in Madison County it is very
heartening to observe that 1t leads
all Montana counties in gold pro-
duction by a substantial margin.
Moreover the gross mineral produc-
tion of $2,342,096.0O provides the
county with one of the most sub
stantial incomes it has. The pre-
paraticn Of this report from avail
able data and authorities has been
for the committee very great
satisfaction and we trust that it
will prove of much interest to the
community at large.
Most respectfully submitted.

Judge 10 Rule Tomorrow
On New Trial for Buckley

Judge Hobart Newman is sched-
uled to rule tomorrow in Police
Court on whether Attorney M. Ed
ward Buckley. jr. must stand trial
on a reopened driving -while-drunk
charge.
Over objection of the prosecution,
Judge Newman yesterday heard Mr.
Buckley's plea, in which he claimed
trial on the charge would constitute
double jeopardy.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Oil
yer Cash, who prosecuted the case
in the absence of Assistant Cor
poration Counsel E w. Thomas,
argued that Judge George D. Neil
son already had ruled Mr.. Buck
ley must stand trial on the reopened
charge and that the ruling was final
If Judge Newman decides that
Mr.. Buckley must stand trial, the
trial is to be held next Thursday.
Last Friday Judge Nelson granted
Mr.. Buckley the right to withdraw
a demand for jury trial. This
threw the case from the jury branch
of Police Court to the traffic branch
in which Judge Newman is presiding.
An original driving -while-drunk
charge was placed against Mr.. Buck
ley last July after his automobile
struck two automobiles on Thir-
teenth street NV. Subsequently,
the charge was nolle pressed and
he was charged with driving on the
wrong side of the street. He pleaded
guilty and paid a S25 fine. Mr..
Buckley contended the driving
while drunk charge was taken care
of in the charge of driving on the
wrong side of the street.

War Games on Coast
To Test Army's New
Tents on Wheels
TruiIers Built at Cost
OF $50 May RevoIutionize
Combat Post System
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMP HUNTER LIGGETT,
Calf, June 21.-The Third Army
Corps has developed tents on wheels
which may revolutionize the entire
system of combat command posts.
Gypsy trailers, built from SAL
vaged equipment at cost of $50
each, will get their first real test
next week when $1,000 men go into
gruelling war games here.
The light trailers, used as staff
headquarters during the day and
sleeping quarters at night, are de-
signed for fast mobility, better CAM
outage and to relieve the heavy
tentage problem. In modern war
fare. troops are on the move almost
continually and command posts,
from which high-ranking officers
direct their units, have to be ready
to change position at a moments
notice.
The Army is convinced that the
old days of dig in and defend" are
gone forever.
The Third Corps. based at the
Preside of Monterey. has % two
wheel trailers. They were built
in Army shops, primarily of dura-
bic parts from worn-out trucks.
Offlcers pointed out the trailers
could quickly scatter if the COM
mand post was discovered by enemy
planes. Tent command posts, and
the high-ranking officers occupy
ing them. could be blasted to bits
before they could be moved.

II is said that Berlin has az

which he has been unwilling 10
try out. There is a story they
tell of tune he played for Moss
Hart once-with a jingle he had
contrived for the musical, "As
Thousands Cheer"
Moss heard no more about
II. so a week later he asked
what had happened to the song.
"Tve thrown It away" con-
fessed Berlin. ut sounded more
terrible each time I played IT,"
Hart did a little storming
about until Berlin retrieved II
from a clutter on a shelf. Back
into the show it went-a little
item called Easter Parade"
which became the No. l song
of the year.
