IT LOOKS LIKE TAX RELIEF1
IS watching with Justifiable interest the growth of
WASHINGTON favor of tho first popular move for tax relief made
in the national capitol this year elimination of the federal tax upon
motor fuel
Onljj a few weeks ago sentiment regarding this levy which is duo
to run until June 30 1935 was in favor not only of continuing it but
even of increasing it to two cents a gallon Since then thousands of
voters throughout the country 11 goveinrs and other state officials
have notified their representatives nt Washington that they favor the
immediate elimination of this tnv Bills designed so to provide already
have been introduced in Senate and House Members of both the powerful
Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committees have
expressed themselves as favoring its early ending
The chances that it actually will be eliminated this year Washington
hears are good Beer and liquors have replaced motor fuel as
general commodities suited to such taxation Other sources of revenue
have developed surprisingly lucrative returns with the resumption of
more normal business activity
Probably the elimination of no other tax with the single exception
of the levy upon incomes could he as popular Tho federal gasoline taxis
paid by some 25000000 taxpayers accustomed to paying such special
additional taxes only to state governments for highway financing
Revenue from this levy goes for general purposes and for that reason
among others it has been resented both by taxpayers and by state
governments

Did You Ever
Stop To Think
By Edson R Waite
G B Williams editor of The
Dunkirk N Y Observer says
Did you ever stop to think that
people read newspapers because
they want them The newspaper
is not forced on anyone People
pay for it and pay for it regularly
Whole families await eagerly
and quarrel goodnaturedly over
their individual turns to read it
Each praises and criticizes it as
one is prone to praise and criticize
the other members of the
family The newspaper is a definite
part of the family That is
why its sales force is immeasurableDoor to door salesmen use all
kinds of ingenious devices to get
inside the home But the news
paper is a welcome guest One
type of selling is forced the other
type is received cordially Dooi
to door handbills are an intrusion
upon the privacy of the
home but the newspaper is invited
in Its messages are read
avidlv and ts advei tlsements arc
considered a part of these messagesThe newspaper is so definitely
a part of the people so much
an accepted member of the family
that its pages constitute tho
finest advertising medium yet devisedEFFICIENT TEACHING
