Why This
tractors in their farm
Sixty five perxent of farmers use
work. . Ninety eight per cent use an automobile in their trips to
and from town- Twenty per cent use trucks for hauling their
farm products.
Under the proposed Initiative Measure No, 31 the farmer will
be compelled to pay three cents a gallon tax on gasoline used in
plowing and working his fields, three cents a gallon on gas used
in driving to church with his family and three cents a gallon on
gas used for truckng on the roads.
Thirty gallons of gas a day is not unusual for tractors haul
ing ploj/s or discs. Ninety cents a day tax on a farmer for good
roads when not traveling on any road !
The propaganda being spread about this initiated measure
claims that the average c4Jst to each automobile driver will be
$8,60 per year but it does not state that the tractor tax Will reach
$100.00 a year. .
Isn't that pretty high? In Washington and California law
makers saw the injustice and gave a rebate to farmers using gas
oline tractors on their own farms.
lo ben
The good roads movement is not jirimarily designed lo ben
efit the farmer. A net-work of trunk roads are planned to con
nect county seats and, give tourists an opportunity to visit the
state. Wherever these trunk roads improve the lot of the farmer
it is accidental and not premeditated. Eighty per cent of the
farmers around Belt will never be able to use one of these trunk
rqads to get to Belt and ten per cent wdl be able to use them for
only short distances.
Then where is the justice of taxing them thirty times as
much as the average automobile user in adition to their own in
dividual automobile tax just for the benefit of county-seats and
pleasure-seekers.
In common with many other people we thought for a time
that this measure would cure all ills but since some of our friends
have taken the trouble to show us how the proposed measure
would affect them we have changed our mind.
Saturday we heard a man say that he and his partner had
almost closed a deal for 3000 acres of land upon which they had
The deal will
i
planned to run at least two tractors continually,
not be closed until after November 3rd and not then if this meab-1
ure passes because they figure that the expense of operation will |
be too great.

SCHOOL SPIRIT
No matter what magazine or
paper we read we nearly always
read about some kind of spirit
which pervades a community or in
stitution.
In tb* last week we have read ofi
the spirit of helpfulness throughout
Florida immediately after that state
had been damaged by a hurricane.
Again we read of the spirit pf
friendliness which was shown be
tween two men who one day last
week stood face to face with the
driver and determination in each
one's heart to whip the other.
Still more we read and hear of the
spirit of brotherhood in mankind
that is trying to establish friendly
relations between nations.
But what la school spirit?
School spirit is the good fellow
ship of students and teachers, the
putting of one's self into his work
and the helping of others.
It is the thing that makes the boy
or girl on the school team sacrifice
something on his part for the school
or team.
School spirit is shown in the boy
gir l that boosts, not knocks, who
smiles and goos it the undesirable
instead of holding back and groan
'
ing.
Belt Valley High School has a
very fine school spirit yet it is not
so ffood that it cannot be improved.
Just watch our school spirit grow
and if you get a chance boost it
along.
