ing a tax on gasoline the Federal
Government invaded a field of tax
alton established by prior use as
rightfully belonging to the States
which rely heavily on this revenue
source for highway funds; that be-
cause motor fuel used in highway
vehicles is also taxed in every State
and some counties and cities the
Federal tax bears especially hard
on those using the highways; and
that the tax increases the opera
tional costs of agriculture and in
dustry which, in. turn, contributes
to the high cost of living.
They also made another highly
significant point: they told the
committee that gasoline is now
being taxed as heavily, or more
heavily, than luXuries. Primarily
gasoline is source of energy, as
is steam in the boiler of an engine
or water in the turbine of hydro
electric system. 1t would be just
as unreasonable to link these COM
mon sources of energy with luxury
products for taxation purposes as
it is to include gasoline in such a
grouping.
n Something of the nationwide
sentiment against the Federal tax
is indicated by the fact that 27
State legislatures have adopted
resolutions urging Congress to re-
peal the duplicating levy of the
National Government and that

The Federal tax on gasoline is in

continued high employment and
sustained prosperity. 1t would
provide much-needed and long-ov-

who currently bear more than their
fair share of the tax burden.

Washington Letter
WHAT DID HUGHES DO
WITH THE MONEY?
BY j. e. ZONES

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Some peo-
pie may think that Howard Hughes
and his Johnny Meyer were "too
smart" for the United States Sen
atOrs. But that is nonsense.
The Hughes Aircraft Company
received $40,000,00O worth of con-
tracts from the Government. The
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee developed the fact that former
President Roosevelt approved the
contracts with Hughes. The real
issue before the Senate Commit
tee was: Did Hughes honestly try
to carry out his agreements with
the Government? Hughes, instead
of trying to save his own reputa-
ton made dirty attack upon SEN
atOr Brewster, chairman of the In
vestigating Committee. That didn't
impress anybody, because Senator
Brewster has long and splendid
record and he is as "clean as a
whistle" He was lenient enough
to Hughes to give him all the rope
he needed, even if he really did
succeed in hanging himself.
TAX EQUITY
American consumers during the
past decade and a half have paid
approximately four billion dollars
into the U. S. Treasury in Federal
gasoline taxes. More than IS per
cent of this amount was paid by
automobile and truck owners.
First enacted in 1892 as a one
cent per gallon temporary emer-
gency" levy, the Federal gasoline
tax is still with us-but at the in
creased rate of 113 cents on every
gallon, costing gasoline users over
$4OO, 100000 year. When added to
the considerably higher gasoline
tax rates of the States, the Federal
levy represents a real burden on
highway transportation which is SC
essential to public welfare.
For some time now, the Commit
tee on Ways and Means of the U
S. House of Representatives has
been hearing testimony advocating
repeal of this and other Federal
eXcises on automotive transporta.

FORWARD MARCH OF THE ELKS
The current issue of Elks Mag
aZine is of unusual public interest.
Among it's many activities the re-
ports show that the State Assoc1a-
tions of Elks carried on entertain
ment programs in 152 Veterans
hospitals in forty-one States. NO
body needs to be told-that the
Elks programs rank in Glass A,
100 per cent.
The Elks, from the very begin
ming of the organization have al
ways increased and broadened the
humane and charitable impulses oil
members of the Order. No wonder
that it's recent annual report shows
gain of 1892 members. The sub
ordinate lodges report expenditures
for charitable and welfare pur-
poses of more than 5 million dol
| lars.
Current achievements of Amer
ica's Elks, from the Grand Lodges
to the subordinate lodges, are mag
nificent. The whole force of these
lodges has been untiringly active
in wartime and peacetime activi'
ties. Patriotism, humanity and
fellowship-are recognized as the
Foundations of the Order.
EVERYBODY AGAINST
HIGH PRICES
There exists a concerted move
ment, independent of politics, trade
unions and big and small business
groups, against high prices. Three
Congressional investigations have
been announced by Senator Taft
and Attorney General Clark ha!
ordered an investigation of food
clothing and housing costs. HI
says that if he can convict an!
profiteers that he will demand tina
they be sent to Jail and heavil!
fined under the antitrust law.
Business spokesmen are blamin,
rising prices on high wages, short
age of materials and big demands
But the CIO apparently has n,
shame in offering the non-sensica
recommendation that Congress
should reconvene and put pric
control in force again.

George c.. Marshall became Sec
retary of State little more than

WRITING ON EARLY results of the Taft
Hartley labor law, David Lawrence said: CAL
ready major labor unions have pledged them
selves to settle their disputes with employers
directly and to resort as little as possible to
governmental boards-a development long
hoped for but not until now beginning to be
realized"
1t may be that the new labor law will en-
courage return to our traditional system of
collective bargaining that the trend will
be away from running to the government
whenever labor and management find them
selves in disagreement One of the worst
phases OF labor troubles in recent years has
been the trend toward dictatorial govern
mental intervention. If that were continued
indefinitely, some governmental bureau would
inevitably become the car of all labor rela-
tlons IN this cOuntry-to the detriment of
managers, stockholders and workers alike.
On the other hand, it is apparent that
some large unions are still determined to dc
everything possible to make the Taft-Hartley
law imperative, to circumvent Congress anG
the popular will. Should these practices be-
come widespread, at the expense of produc
tlon and employment in this country, there
will unquestionably be an irresistible public
demand for legislation of a much more strin
gent character
Labor craftsmanship of the highest ordeI
is needed now.

Mixing Concrete

Too much water in proportion
to the amount of cement when mix
ing concrete greatly reduces the
strength, durability and water-tight-
ness of the concrete. Concrete
should never be mixed so thin it
can be easily poured. 1t should
always be mixed thick enough so
that some tamping or spading is re-
quired to produce dense, thick,
smooth surface. In the concrete
mix, cement and water form paste,
which upon hardening, forms the
binder that holds the sand and gray-
el particles together in solid mass.
Too much water thins and dilutes
the paste, weakening its cementing
qualities. The amount of water to
use varies according to the type Of
concrete work being done and the
moisture in the sand. If ordinarily
damp sand and gravel are being
used, no more than gallons of
water per sack of cement should be
used for water-tight concrete. No
more than 6 gallons of water per
sack of cement should be used in
concrete for foundations, footings, or
where the concrete is not subject to
weather, wear or water.

LiehtweIght Wool

The highest weight wooden fab
rics in the world were recently
exhibited in London the finest
Of which weighed mere ounce
per square yard and the heaviest
only three and one-haf ounces per
square yard. Several dress fabrics
were shown which weigh only one
and one-half ounces per square
yard, which means that woolen
frock for a woman need weigh only
FIVE or six ounces. The production
of so fine material is the result of
experiments carried out in Leeds
university and is due TO the discov-
cry of a soluble carrier TO be used
in the weaving of worsted yarn so
finely spun that ii win not stand
the strain Of normal weaving. This
carrier, made of alginate, the basis
of which is ordinary seaweed from
British shores, is embodied in the
yarn to give 1t support during the
weaving. It is later dissolved away,
leaving behind the light fabric in
nura wool

Sewing Machine Needs
Care for Best Work

Your sewing machine needs oiling
after each days work, or after 8 to
10 hours Of use. Even when not in
use, it deserves occasional oiling
to prevent the drying and cumming
Of earlier lubrications.
All too many homemakers who
are expert seamstresses let their
most important tool work day after
day without care for its lohg-suffer-
ing mechanisms. In addition to fre-
quent oiling, general cleaning is rec
commended if the machine has not
had good "going over" within the
past six or eight months. Even when
it has not been used, it needs a
thorough cleaning at least twice a
year.
For smooth running, wash dirt and
gummed oil out of the machine
with cleaning fluid, such as kero.
sene, carbon tetrachloride or gaso-
line. An old oil can filed with the
fluid will do the trick. Liberal
amounts can be squirted into all
bearings and oil holes, the machine
head tilted back and the same thing
done ON the underside.

Safe for Bees

DDT, properly handled, will not
endanger honeybees or wild bees.
After two years of very intensive i'm
vestigations and observations of
large areas Of alfalfa. vegetable and
flower seed crops. it appeared that,
while the bees are driven out of the
freshly busted fields for a period of
three or more days, they return
after that time in practically equal
numbeS and eventually build up
their populations in treated areas.
DDT may increase the number of
bees indirectly because of the null
tiplication of flowers as result of
the protection DDT gives against
lygus bugs which destroy flowers
and seed crops. These observations
were made during 1945 in Arizona,
California, Oregon, Texas and Utah.

Easy Ironing

Ironing is a firing job but often
times something can be done to help
relieve some Of the strain. For ex-
ample, some parts Of the work can
be omitted. II the wrinkles are
shaken out Of sheets and they are
hung carefully on the line. they
viii look smooth enough to use
without ironing. The same is true of
dish towels, wash cloths and hose
Turkish towels are really softer and
fiufier II left unironed. Practical
ly one whole step in the ironing pro-
cedure can be eliminated by taking
the clothes from the line when they
are just damp enough to iron well.
Pieces that combine thick and thin
parts may need some sprinkling,
but the others can be rolled loosely
just as they are.

more than 1000 miles, and from the

have been met in the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans 1000 miles from
land. The ocean water is salty and
there is no place for the insects to
obtain food, water or rest. They
have to be in constant motion all
of the time. The golden plover. q

miles over the ocean without stop
