FEDERAL GAS TAX
After 13 years the tax on gasoline has grown from a
small levy of lc a gallon in Oregon, the mother state of the ;
tax, to the astounding sum of $500,000,000 collected yearly j
on the gasoline used in 48 states of the union and the Dis
trict of Columbia. On its thirteenth birthday anniversary
the threat of a 33 per cent increase, through an additional!
federal tax, looms on the horizon. ' ;j
If the suggestion of the secretary of the treasury is real- 1
ized, the already overburdened consumer of gasoline will
bear the brunt of the national government's attempt to re
duce the deficit in the treasury. Senator .Frederick Steiweiy
of Oregon, therefore, deserves the applause of every i
; Oregonian for his recent speech in opposition to the proposed. :
tax, in which he was strenuously backed by Senator Tramwell!
of Florida. In the latter state the tax has grown from the
original lc levy to the astounding amount of 7c on each;
i gallon of gasoline. Senator Tramwell - voiced the general,
opinion of his state when he said that the states have been ;
j assessed to the full limit, by state authorities, in the way of
; gasoline taxes and taxes on automobiles. i j
. . ( The .wisdom of the state tax of 4c per gallon in Oregon is'i
i unquestioned, since it adds $1,701,090 for highway construe-j
. tion and maintenance, and is furnished by the automobile
I owners who use the roads.
Under present conditions it is an expensive enterprise for
; a citizen to buy an automobile, since over a period of a very
,: few years the original price of the vehicle is doubled in
; licenses and taxes of various sorts. Imposing an additional
; tax would have the effect of killing the goose that laid the
: golden egg.
; The United States, heretofore, has never attempted to lay
' a tax upon gasoline for the production of federal revenue.
Senator Steiwer believes that the proposal of the secretary
, of the treasury is novel in that it involves the invasion of a
; tax field heretofore occupied exclusively by the states. It
; means that the federal government will engage in a race
with the states in seeking to obtain revenue from a source
which the states alone have enjoyed. It means the imposi-,
tion of an additional tax upon the automobile owners of
; America; and it means probably that from the tax neither
the state or the federal governments will glean the maximum
; yield.
Senator Steiwer adds:
"The matter is of special interest now because there is
before the senate a proposal by the junior senator from Ari
zona (Mr. Hayden), which, I understand, he will offer as
an amendment to the agricultural supply bill; by that pro
posal there would be appropriated approximately $135,000,
000 to be employed in the constniction of highways without
the necessity of contribution or matching by the various
states.
"It is almost ironical that the agencies of the federal gov
ernment should consider the invasion of a tax field now en
joyed by the states upon a basis that would produce $165,
000,000, and at the same time contemplate the appropriation
of about $135,000,000 to the state under the guise of relief
for unemployment. It means merely that we take money
from a state source and then give it back to the slates, and
perhaps then claim that wo have made a generous contribu
tion by so doing." , -
We agree with Senator Steiwer! Such an addition to the
gasoline tax would increase the evasion evil; would hasten
the breakdown of the stale gas-tax structure; would jeopar
dize hundreds of millions of dollars in road work bonds issued
by the various states, and which are contingent on future
gasoline-tax collections by the state; and, lastly, it would
inaugurate a serious battle between the states and the fed
eral government in their respective spheres of taxation, and
inevitably lead to the retaliation in oilier state taxes.

It may be possible to work out
some such guarantee system through
the operation of the well known
principles of insurance. Likewise
something may be done to provide
employment insurance and such like.
But we doubt If any scheme c6uld

NOBODY LOVES US
IT had beon somo one's birthday;
there had heen wild speeding
from one dancing place to another.
And leaving the Rainbow Gar

'had asked Gar to drive her car
home. "It's doing tho queerest
things, Gar. You're more familiar
with it than lied." Marge always in
slated upon using her own car and
because H was a French model, of
dashing lines and amazing speed,
her escorts invariably wero quite
willing to accede to her whim.
To-night, without a moment's hes
itation, Gar had sprung into the
driver's seat, thrown the clutch Into
gear with a masterful air and shot
off into tho deserted road, leaving
Kitty behind with Red Harding.
"Nobody loves us," Red had
grumbled, putting his arm through
Kitty's.
She'd hated being left alone with
Red; she'd been afraid of his drlv-.
Ing. Gar's dosortlon, without a word
of rogrot, had hurt her to the quick.
Sho had thought that when they
were home he would tell her be was

showed him this same doference,
yet Kitty had not heen ablo to like
him.
NIco oh, yos, they had been nice
enough to her, these friends of his,
but that was the limit of their at
tention; without Gar they wouldn't
know sho was around!
She had been more quiet than
usual to-night somehow, to-night
she had not been ablo even to pre
tend any gnyety. She'd felt out of
the picture, as Gar would put it, un
comfortable, In her rust-colored
dress, like a sparrow among bright
, plumnged birds. To-night she'd
felt critical of Gar's friends;
couldn't they sometimes have good
times In their homes?
To night she'd felt oven sharply
critical of Gar. He shouldn't spend

"You don't have to put on such an

pursued. "They're all laughing at
you. They think you'ro a prig. That
smnll-towu stuff doesn't go in my
crowd."
Hurt on hurt. She hadn't meant
to look almighty righteous. Sho
wasn't a prig. Rut sho wouldn't
quarrel and It would mean a quarrel
If sho spoke now.
Rut sho could not keep bnck her
tears. They came in a flood. She
despised herself for her weakness
even when Gar's arms went re
morsefully around her.
"Oh, come now, Kit I was only
telling you for your own good."
Sho clung to him until sho got
control of herself. "1 didn't feel wetl

Kitty smiled in agreement of "the

Marge had looked stunning to-uiht

"It's habit," sho thought. "Small

Gar's criticism. She remem
bered It without hurt, now, but with
a bewildered sense that things had
started to go wrong and that In
some way it must have been her
fault. They'd almost quarreled.
She'd dress quietly and take, a
walk while Gar slept. It would

She knew the routine of the
house. Mrs. Frew breakfasted In
her room, after which sho closeted
herself in her "oQice" until luncheon
time. Sho rarely lunched at home.
Carol slept late, then followed her
own pursuits, usually out of tho
house.
.There was a little square o2 park
within a few blocks of tho house.
She'd walk around it a few times
and then sit down on one of the
benches.
When dhe finished her walk Kitty
chose a bench. When sho set her
self to the task of thinking things
out she grew confused again, a lit
tle frightened. They had so nearly
quarreled! -y
Gar thought she was standoffish
with his friends, a prig, when she
was only shy with them. They made
her feel that way; more often than
not she did not know what they
were talking about and no one of
them, unless it was Tubby In. a
burst of devotion, bothered to tell
her. Left alone with Marge find.'

in their chatter about the

acted wholly aware that she was

"I'm not envious," Kitty sighed,
dolefully. "I'm not jealous." No,
even though Marge often coolly ap
propriated Gar she was not Jealous.
Sho was not so small-townish but
that she could laugh at it
They never talked now of that
home .hey were going to have.
They'd let themselves get caught
into a whirl of gayety that was
crowding out the real Joy of their
marriage.
She'd talk It all over with Gar;
he'd had his play, he would want to
begin to work that they might be
Independent of every one. She
flushed, thinking of Gar's debt to
Red. But she would not reproach
Gar with Jiat; she'd be very tactful,
very loving.
She walked home eagerly.
She was a little startled to find
that ft was past ono o'clock. Gar
must have worried as to her where

THE - GERMAN ELECTION
German people have answered ef
fectively the questioning of the world.
They have renounced communism
and they gave Hltlerlsm only a. mild
support. The present president of
Germany, Paul von Hindenburg, will
be re-elected. He would have been
elected at this election under our
system but failed to poll the majority
required ,ln Germany. In Germany
a presidential candidate must poll a
majority of all votes cost In order
to be elected. In this country a
plurality, or more than the next
highest, elects.
For seven years, following von
Hlndenburg's . election In the finals
which are scheduled for April 10, he
will be president of Germany.
A part of the financial unrest of
the world has been due to the pos
sibility - or, radicalism gaining the
upper hand In Germany. Many peo
ple believe that not only would Ger
man credit and finance have, been
upset, and reparations payment re
pudiated, If Hitler had secured a
majority, but actual war between
France and Germany might have
been precipitated.
Von Hindenburg is known to be
conservative. German people believe
that he is honest and they have
faith in his integrity. This fact,
it is believed caused avowed social
ists and fascists to vote for him
which meant, In fact, that they were
voting against their own political
philosophy.
The German election seems to
prove that the vast body of people,
if allowed to express a choice, are
essentially conservative and render
conservative decisions and choices.

Now, although teachers and puplia
may often be more sinned against
than sinning, lt Is nevertheless true
that they may properly be held .
sponsible for many of the queer hab
its, "spells," and fears of which the
nervous school child is made. For
Instance, Miss Smith makes fun bf
Willie in class, causing Willie to
blusli and tears to come Into his
eyes. The tears are of course noticed
by the other boys who later dance
around him singing "cry baby cry,"
Willie promptly resolves that he
will no longer be taught by Mian .
Smith or be in the class with those
boys. Being one of a large family,
he says nothing of his trouble at
home, but is often found by tils
mother crying to himself. It re
quires a struggle to get him to
school. Ho -lies in bed so late that
his morning bowel movement is de
ferred; he becomes constipated and
has occasional attacks of nausea. On
his way to school he must touch cer
tain cracks ln the sidewalk with the
tip of his shoe, for if he touches
them all, that means he will soon
have a new teacher. But he says
not a word, for that might bring
ridicule. He becomes queerer and
queerer, especially as he hears him
self called queer, and Willie Is a con
firmed nervous school child -unless
some kind, fate intervenes.
Happy is the older child who makes
the right sort of friends and who
docs not carry friendship to the point
of foolish adoration that is, to the
point of having a "crush." Nervous,
queer children of grammar and even
high school age are particularly like
ly to select some one of their , own
sex, and, forsaking all others, cleave
only to that person. All of the
adored one's habits, attitudes, say
ings, are carried home and there re
hearsed to the disgust of the home
folks. These in turn are considered
vastly inferior, and soon enough com
plexes appear to- stump both Freud
and Booth Tarkington. ,,.
Whet makes most for nervousness
in older children are occurrences, un
important to others, vital to them,
which moke them seek refuge ln
themselves, drive them as lt were to
the wilderness and solitary places,
there to nurse their grievances. The
more intense the nervous makeup of
tho child, the more violent will e
his moody outbursts, perhaps of
gloom, perhaps of affection, perhaps
of religious zeal, perhaps of temper,
perhaps even of suicidal tendencies.
And it is Just at this inopportune
ly self-conscious time that the
influence of sex discoveries comes to
take possession. The nervous child
who takes health and sickness, Joy
and sorrow so hard takes sex hardest
