Graduated Auto Tax
“Why not an automobile tax grad
uated on the scale of the load car
ried?” asks the Boone News-Repub
lican. “This would be the fairest
way to proportion the expense of
building roads. The trucks have a
right to go on any roads, but they
will break down an ordinary road,
and therefore they are responsible
for the demand for having a heavier
pavement. Why not make them pay
in proportion to their capacity for
business?”

Sheriff on Trail of “Little Still”
Shown New Baby
Lawer, lowa—Near Cresco lives a
family by the name of Mr. and Mrs.
John Still. A short time ago a baby
was born at the Still domicile, and
sooner or later the word got around
the community that these people had
a little still at their house.
Some jokester told the sheriff that
the family was keeping a little still
so the sheriff and his deputy went to
locate a liquor maker. He informed
the parents of the child that he was
in search of a small still that he had
been informed they "were keeping.
Whereupon the sheriff was shown
Little Still, Jr. The sheriff bought
the cigars.

Indian Woman Pays Cash For New
Automobile
Toledo, lowa—With $1,985 in her
pocketbook, Mrs. Bessie Jones, an
Oklahoma Indian woman, wife of
John Jones, a Meskwaki of the Tama
reservation, didnH have to ask for j
credit, or that the dealer.take her
note, when she wanted to buy an au
tomobile. Instead she reached down
in her skirt pocket, pulled out her
money, and after paying her bill, had
SB6O left to spend for accessories and
the expenses of her first tour to
Oklahoma.
Mrs. Jones came into the W r inn
Motor Company’s garage here and
asked the price of a car. John M.!
Winn explained that the car she de
sired could not be secured in less;,

the usual which A#**
patrons makes it highly protrtable for
dealers and cooperative shipping as- 1
sociations to patronize this commis
sion firm in Chicago. There are four
other firms working along this same
line and all of them highly success
ful. This should be an incentive to
those who have been saying it can’t
be done and some other pessimistic
things to attempt to see the light and
to do some real honest-to-goodnesa

Railroad Control
Railroad Earnings—represented by freight and passenger
rates —are controlled by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Wages—over 60% of a road’s expenses—are controlled
by the United States Railroad Labor Board.
Prices of materials are controlled by conditions in other
industries.
The Commission has set 5*4 per cent as the maximum
net Operating Income, out of which to pay Interest,
Cost of Improvements and Dividends—with no guar
antee of any part of this per cent. With Earnings and
Expenses and Net Income, outside their control, the ef
forts of railroad executives (subject to the additional
restrictive control of various states) are necessarily
limited to the operating problem of affording efficient
service under adverse conditions.
