TUNE 1V 1941 Society nd Clubs PAGE THREE by Betty Shoemaker Ifs penny -ante but it does run into money IT MUST GIVE the shades of Black Bart and Joaquin Murietta the galloping de spondencies to see the way their rough, pioneer work has been improved upon these days. They thought they levied stalwart assessments on those who trav eled the highways. Yet they only scutched the surface. If all the money taken In by toad-agents were laid end to end, tt wouldn't cover one week's gas-tax bill pungled in pennies by America's motor ists. Last year the total take exceeded 12 hundred million .dollars. But, whereas the victims of the mask and six gun tribe used to call lustily for the sheriff, the motorists have never com plained not really. Instead, their attitude has combined that of the good sport and good citizen. So it would be nice in these days of properly in creasing taxes it everybody could appreciate how heavy the gas-tax burden has become. But how can anybody con ceive of 12 hundred million dollars? One dollar is more down one's alley, isn't it? Take one dollar, then another, until you've used every silver dollar in the country. They will pay about one-half this annual gas tax bill leaving the rest on the cuff until Saturday night.
