THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1925 Massachusetts refused similar appropriations from the federal government showing that for every dollar received, it took $18 additional taxes out of the people. s © w p h ¢ WHY A GASOLINE TAX*? . Motor clubs and owners of automobiles throughout Ilinois are organizing to oppose the twoâ€"cent gasoline tax proposed in a.bill introPucéd in the Illinois state legislature. There seems to be no good reason for this additional tax on owners of cars, who already are rl?ying millions of dollars each year into the state treasury by means of license fees. And it .has been again declared by state high*vay officials that these fees are sufficient to pay off the hard road bonds and provide for the maintenance of these roads withâ€" out dny direct tax on real or personal property. The state guto licenge fees for 1924 totalled more than $11,500,000 and will be more for 1925. The automobile owners of the state in 1924 used abo:}' 706,000,000 gallons of gasoline. At two cents a gallon the tax on this would amount to $14,000,000. Anticipated federal aid apprbpriations for Illinois highways for 1925 would amount to $2,.500,000. © | .

Addirig together the totals of state license fees, federal appré-i priations and the proposed gasoline taxâ€"estimated total for the state makesâ€"a grand total of $28,200,000 for state roads fox’onel year) Why, when it has been time and again declared that the| licenge fees alone are sufficient to pay off the road bonds andl maintain the roads? Maintenance of the state hard roads, it has been|estimated by the highway department, will cost about. $1,â€" 404,000 a year, and here come the legislators with a gasoline tax bill to raise more than $14,000,000. Why this insatiable desire to get more and more of the people‘s money to|spend? The state has been assured again and again that there would be no "pork barrel" methods in state higfiway construction. â€" Then why the gasoline tax ? .

GOLDEN RULE DAY BRINGS BIG FUND The report |adds:"The widespread observance of the day on behalf of the orphan children in'fif’%le lands is indicated by fact that 72,968 reâ€" ceipts were issued during the month of December. All individual receipts frequently . represented hundreds of contributors. For instance, 14,000 sthool children in Milwaukee received a single receipt for their joint conâ€" tribution. Many other receipts were issued to churches, clubs, civic organâ€" izations and local committees. It is not unreasonable to assume that fully a million people contributed to the Near East relief as a part of their golden rule day observance. Two Objectives . _ "There are two distinct objectives in the observance of golden rule Sunâ€" day. One is financial and the other, more farâ€"reaching, is educational and spiritual. " "It is too early yet to tabulate comâ€" pletely the‘ financial tesults of the observance for the reason that a large | Alexander “Birtbdayfil.lohnson, the \ man of 10,000 dates, carries in his ‘_‘ head more birthdays than any man [ alive, which accounts for his chronoâ€" | logical nickname. It is a hobby of his ‘to ‘mail birthduy-cardg to hundreds | of his friends, his cards going all over ’the country. wa part of the financial returns are being made through various local and state organizations. Moreover the golden rule principle is now &0 permeating the whole organization and activities of Near East relief and inspiring conâ€" tributions throughout ‘g:e year that it is impracticable to determine juxtl what funds are stimulated by the golden rule campaign andâ€" what funds! are contributed independently. Durâ€"} ing the forty days following Dec. 7th,} $1,129,388 was received. © In Terms of Bread +4 "Tranglated into terms of ~bread, life and hope, this million dollars means twenty million loaves of bread for those who would otherwise have none.

It means life for many thouâ€" sands â€" of children, the potential 1 rs of the new Near East, who, trainetâ€"siq the idealism of the golden rule, wil} bring peace, p{:uperity, proâ€" gress and good will to that land where wars h;{ve sprung and which, for cenâ€" turies, has been the center and source of almost ceaseless .worfare and strife. f ; » "Of vastly greater importance than any financial return, is the spivritual and educational significance of this annual éampaign, both upon the chilâ€" dren of the Néar East and upon the children and older contributors of this and other lands, who thus express true religion in terms of practical service. Even the homes of America cannot but be richer for this annual expression of unselfishness. This anâ€" nual day devoted to plain living, high thinking, selfâ€"examination and readâ€" justment must necessgarily build up the character of the individual and the community. | : "This annual observance, as has been pointed: out, is also an inevitâ€" able contribution toward international goodwill and world.

The books have been closed and the American people, in taxes alone, have paid substantially one and threeâ€"quarâ€" ter billions of dollars for the experiâ€" ment. The additional costs which the travelers ~and shippers of America were obliged to meet because of inâ€" different service: and extraordinary high rates can hardly be estimated. It can be fairly said that this addiâ€" tional burden will come near equalâ€" ling the actual toll of American dolâ€" lars paid out by~ the government, which the taxpayers had to meet, â€" President Coolidge in announcing the â€" dissolution of the governmental warâ€"time cperation organizgation did not attempt to conceal hi* satisfacâ€" tion at being able to relieve the American people of this extraordinary burden. Staggering as these totals are the one element of satisfaction is that happily we only embarked on governmental operation. Had we been driven ihto government ownerâ€" ship, which was the real aim of many people at the time, the total loss of the people‘s money would have been many times over the present figure, impressive as that is. A study of the costs of this most unfortunate experiâ€" ment, not only in money values, but in, efficiency, should serve to check the gentlemen, who, devoid of any personal â€" responsibility, have . been preaching governmental operation cf public utilities as the one sure way to secure the millennium for Ameriâ€" can citizens.
