According to the keystone Auto
mobile Club, budget-minded motor
lists are in the habit of bringing
themselves up to date periodically
on the amount of gasoline taxes i'm
posed by States. Interest in this
subject is particularly keen when
summer vacation days arrive. In
numerous instances, club officials
say, motoring plans are changed to
avoid States with high gasoline
levies. knowing the various State
taxes-the Federal tax is Ia
cents - also permits drivers to
compare the price of gas itself in
different regions of the United
States and assists in keeping a
record of State tax payments for
Federal income tax deductions.
Until recently Louisiana shared
with two other States top-rank
place in the gas tax. Within the
last few days Louisiana imposed a
9-cents-a-gallon levy. 1t is now the
highest in the Nation With the
Federal tax, gasoline sold there costs
the motorist 1012 cents extra per
gallon. But according to the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, Loulsi-
ana is one of seven States whose
method of imposing the tax does
not permit deductions in fighting
Federal income taxes. The SIX
others-all charging combined
State and Federal tax of 512 cents
OF more per gallon-are Alabama,
California, Florida. Mississippi, Utah
and Wyoming. State taxes there are
imposed on the industry, not directly
on the consumer. and is passed
along in the price.
A check with keystone and AAA

and Federal gas taxes:

Pumping Plant Beats Dams
Dams Washed Out but Pumps SerVe 26 Years
By JERRY LESTER

DUMPING irrigation is by no
4 means limited to small Individual
farm plants as can be seen by the
record of the Harlem Irrigation dis
trict which operates a successful
pumping plant furnishing water for
some 1000 acres on 100 Blaine
county farms. The pumping system
installed 26 years ago is still using
the original electric motors and
pumps.
The man who can vouch for the
dependability and practically of
the system is Thomas M. Everett,
president of the irrigation district
for Sc years and just recently re-
tired at 83. The irrigation program
began back in 1892 when Everett,
his brother J. M. Everett, Vincent
Tefaur and Vincent Pauly organized
the Harlem Irrigation Co. and began
building bitches and a dam across
the Milk river near the present site
of the pumping plant.
Rebuild Dam S Times
Five times the brush and rock
dam was rebuilt across the river to
divert the water into bitches. Each

labor and horsepower were cheap
and the materials cost nothing.
The present pumping plant was
installed in 1922 and has been used
from April to November each year
since then with no major break
downs. Two 100 hp. electric motors
furnish power for the two large
pumps capable of 100 second feet of
water per minute each. These two
pumps are housed in a building on
the river bank.
Original Cost $45.000
The pump superintendent, A. J..
Granger, lives near the plant and is
largely responsible for the plants
no-breakdown record during his %
years of service. The original pump
installation cost $45,000.
The irrigation district operates on
$4,000 a year, supplying water for
1900 acres on 100 farms. This
amount includes the cost of ditch
riders and maintenance as we'll as
pumping. The cost to the farmers
then is So an acre, but the actual
pumping costs only 81 an acre. The
eight months pumping costs about
$1,000 for probably 2 acre feet of
water of which only one is actually
available on the farms.

The position reverts strongly to that
in 1945-when Gov. Dewey was in

Republicans in Congress wrote a

in 1916 and won control of both

The record that the Republican

ForrestaI Indicates
He Will Quit Cabinet,
But Doesn't Set Date
Remarks to Comerumun
Another ~ Years
Are Nc ,or Him
By John A. Giles

Secretary of Defense Forrestal
does not intend to remain in
President Truman's Cabinet for
the full four-year term, but the
exact date of his departure re-
mained a matter of conjecture
yesterday.
His own comment indicated his
probable departure, which has been
rumored since Mr.. Truman's elec-
ton campaign in which he took
little part.
Mr.. Forrestal, in Government
service for eight years and head of
the huge defense establishment since
September, 1947, was asked at the
White House to pose with Secretary
of the Navy John L. Sullivan. A
photographer, referring to the new
term, said I'VE are starting another
four years"
But not for me-" Mr.. Forrestal
said, laughing.
Reporters at the Pentagon, seek
ing an explanation of the laconic
comment, were told by Mr.. Forres-
tails spokesmen several hours later
that he meant:
He does not intend to remain In
Government service for another four
years. There was no other inference
to be drawn from his remark.
No Comment on Date.
The spokesmen refused to say
when the defense chief might de-
part or whether any decision on a
definite date had been reached.
A source close to the White House
said he doubted whether the Presi-
dent had made up his mind on any
Cabinet changes, but Mr.. Forrestal
Is cinch to quit anytime"
He added that the White House
had planned to deny reports that
Mr.. Truman was displeased with Mr..
Sullivan's efforts in the campaign
because the latter had been hurt
by such reports. After Mr.. Sulli-
van left, Press Secretary Charles
G. Ross said that he had come in
to discuss future naval policy" and
he emphasized and repeated the
word future. Mr.. Ross also said the
President thanked Secretary Sulli-
van for his efforts in the campaign.
Mr.. Forrestal told newsmen that
he saw the President for a general
discussion of world affairs and the
military situation"
Asked About Resignation.
