But quality and efficiency do not determine the price of oils sold here. The difference in the price of Zerolene and other oils usually goes into long' haul transportation and high merchandising costs, which we do not have to pay to make Zerolene available. All that you spend for Zerolene goes to buy high quality only. Therefore we say "Insist on Zerolene even if it does cost less." Ask for it by name Zerolene.

WILSON Everything in Men's Wear Union Pacific System taxes practically trebled between 1912 and 1922, or from $4,668,875 to $13,251,552. Our 1922 taxes amounted to $36,306 a day. This would have paid for 17 all-steel box cars every day or a modern freight or passenger locomotive every other day. Union Pacific System tax payments since 1900 have been as follows: Year tl900 tl910 tl912 1917 1920 1921 '1922 tFiscal year ending June 30. 'Calendar year ending Dee. 31. Union Pacific System taxes for 1922 consumed 6.87 cents out of every dollar of gross earnings and 27.03 cents out of every dollar of net earnings. Total taxes paid by all railroads of the United States in 1922 were $304,885,158, which was almost as much as the cost of digging the Panama Canal. Taxes exceeded cash dividends paid by the railroads in each year since 1917, or the entire expense of running the United States Govern ment in 1916. They amounted to 5.4 per cent of the entire gross earnings. Railroads are the largest tax payers in many states. In some counties railroad taxes equal one-half the total. Some of the tax money provided by the railroads is used to build and maintain highways on which trackless competi tors operate. Some of these highway transportation routes serve as feeders for the railroads, but in most cases they take tonnage from the rail lines, and the taxes levied on the railroads and their trackless competitors are often un justly apporioned. Senator Borah, speaking in Congress last December, said : "It will be very difficult to educe freight rates if we continue in this country to increase taxes upon the railroads as we have for the last four years These public utilities must collect this money from but one source, and that is from those who ship." Railroads, like other businesses, must pay taxes. They are willing to pay their, but they ask that the tax burden be equitably distributed, and that the public appreciate that taxation is an element of increasing importance in railway costs. The price of transportation is bound to keep pace with the cost of transporation. We are bending every effort to re duce the cost. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C. R.
