Auditor Mcvay TO Receive Additional
Income From Inheritance Tax Revenue

pared for enrolment and presenta-
ton to the governor.
Governor Thomas J. Herbert has
indicated that he favored the bill
which would tighten the enforce
ment of inheritance tax laws.
Should he veto it, however, it would
be lost since the legislature will not
meet again in time to override.
The dispute goes back to last Feb
ruary when the Senate passed an
emergency measure to raise the
salary of the present county auditor
before he took office on March /.
This bill was hurriedly recon-
mended for passage by the Organ
ization of State Government Com
mittee but was held off the calen-
dar, keeping it from coming to a
vote, by the powerful Rules Com
mittee which is dominated by
Speaker c. William O'Neill, Major
ity Leader Paul L. Mccormick, Fin
ance Chairman Paul H. Ballard and
Majority Whip Burge, all Repub-
licanS.
County auditors throughout the
state were angered by this arbitrary
action, and the revolt by group OF
insurgent Republicans will help
smooth things out in many county
political circles.
It is estimated that County Aud
itor McVay will get $440 annually
since the bill provides compensation
at the rate of four cents per capita
for each full one thousand of the
first ten thousand of the population
of the county and one cent per thou
sand for each full one thousand over
ten thousand of the population oi
the county as shown by the las
federal census.
Payments will be made monthly
from the states share of the undiv
| ided inheritance tax in each count,
treasury. This will be effective unit
March /, 1851, when new terms fo
county auditors begin.

SAFETY TIP
OF THE WEEK
HOW TO WIN FRIENDS

An etiquette book is pretty
scary thing, if you read it from
cover to cover, yet actually all
those hundreds of rules boil
down to just one thing con
slant thoughtfulness and con-
sideration for other people.
That kind of etiquette is
every bit as important when
driving a car, because while
rudeness and lack of considera-
ton may cost you some friends,
on the highway they are terr-
IDLY apt to cost a life-maybe
your own, maybe someone else's.
A courteous driver never ex-
poets other motorists to read his
mind; he makes his intentions
clearly known, we'll in advance.
He signals before turning, be-
fore slowing down, before stop
ping. At other times he refrains
from pointing, waving, or max
ing other confusing motions
with his signaling arm.
If everyone applied even that
tiny bit of highway etiquette, a
human life could be saved every
day of the year
