In that year the com blned Income from motor vehicle licenses and gasoline taxes amounted to 25.9 per cent, the gas tax revenue amounting to less than one per cent. In 1925 the Income produced from these sources was 43.5 per cent of the year's .total and the: gas taxes alone amounted to 13.5 per cent. In the same period taxes on property specifically for road pur poses have dropped from 11.2 per cent to 3.3 per cent lot the year's total income.

Washington and British Co lumbia that distributes it product soley through independent dealers Is now on the even of starting Its fourt. year, in tbeiretall" distribut ing field and, acoerdlng to Lionel Barneson, president, its retail marketing policies have proved most satisfactory. Discussing the marketing policy of the corporation; Barneson said. "When we decided to eater the retail field we determined upon a very definite policy of presenting our products to the public through independent dealers only. We have adhered strictly to this policy and it has proved satisfactory. We have the distinction of not own ing a single service station or in terest Inany establishment retail ing our products.; We do not fi nance dealers in any manper even to the point, of installing pumps; or other necessary equipment. v "Of course this method of dis tribution 'has ift disadvantages. When we entered f Into; the field of retail distribution, -hundreds of difficult problems had to be met and policies In relation to them settled or established -for all times. It was a new situation. We found that we had to bear the brunt of the shortcomings of the Independ ent dealers, and they were many. The public was inclined to shy away from them. It bad heard manf rumors as to the way these Independents did business. Con sistent propaganada on our part, however, in favor of the dealers, soon created a friendly spirit on' the part of the public toward them. Then again the old problem of service "cropped up. In many cases the Independent dealer can not give the service which can be obtained. : from company-owned stations because of the expense and added staff required. Many times the independent dealer has a, poor location, the company- owned station having the choice corner. "All of these things were taken into consideration, and we started a definite campaign to aid the dealers. Of course we had to have their corporation and they were only too willing to give it. We started in by having them clean up. their stations, giving particu lar attention to their rest rooms and the interior of their estab lishments. We kept after them on the point of rendering some little personal service to each customer. Many of the dealers were lacking in good business knowledge. We considered It pur duty 'to help them, with v their i merchandising plans and. problems, and It was j not long; before, this type of com plaint 'grew less frequent. :"Th-lndeindendleV 1oday is In a good position, lie is offered an unequaled line .of products to distribute, by a company? thaV is behind him to the fullest extent at- all times; a company hose products he handles that.lsnotjn competition with him in any mari ner; i support of an , .organhcat Ion strong enough to raeet" Sny Tiondl- tion at the marketf and theibat-k ing f advertising, that has con stantly sold,, the public to the mer its "of jtht independent ;dele1fnd the numerous advantages of trad ing with him; - KEEPS III CLOSE , TOUCH 11ITI III Badia Enables Marv to M'ai n- tain Contact Althougrr ... ,in Australia ' $2.95 for any ladles' hat In our store.

And when we showed him how the Uniflex prin ciple of laying the cord web gives longer life by distributing road shocks uniformly, "It looks to me," he said, "as if Miller has done most of the work to make low-pressure tires practical!"
