"The greater part of a gas tax which will amount to more than $13,000,000 a year will be collected from drivers of modest and much used automobiles and will go toward building roads that will double and triple the value of large estates," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "This is true in every county in the state. "Why should the motorists be bled so that the lands of wealthy men in Cook and every other county may multiply in worth? The gasoline tax will make the poor the benefactors of the rich, and will place a burden where burdens already are most heavy." Mr. Hayes asserted that the Chicago Motor club had always supported road building programs, and that the club wants hard roads and wide roads and many miles of them. Mr. Hayes de- clared: "Prior to the passage of the $60,000,000 road bond issue, Governor [Lowden said: 'If this bond issue passes, it will be owing to the work of such organizations as the Illinois Highway Improvement association and the Chicago Motor club." During Governor Small"s administration the club worked with even greater vigor for the passage of the $100,000,000 road bond issue. At that time the motor- ists were promised that if they voted on the bond issues no additional taxes would be levied. Relying on this promise motorists gave the bond issues a tremendous vote. The state has am- ple funds for road construction pur- poses for at least four years. Four vears of paying a gas tax will cost the average motorist $40; why should he be forced to pay this additional tax in Tilt for Peel Trophy Sunday, June 12, the North Shore Soccer -elub -will play the Coal City Soccer club, of Coal City, Ill, in the final game for the Peter J.

John Robert Murray, who was forc- ed to abandon his school work at Princeton university because of a con- tinued illness contracted at the time of his innoculation for typhoid, is now recovering and convalescing at his home, 433 Cumnor road, Kenilworth. After a short rest cure in Maine, it is thought that he may be able to make up his credit at Princeton Summer school. which will so materially benefit the wealthy landowners of the state? "The list of the millionaires is not long, but the total value of their property runs into many millions. We should compare that with the list of motorists, which is long, and whose properties are small." Ask Your Dealer for Eleanor Bird Seed A Song In Every Seed. It's better than what you think is best.
