SHAPER DISCUSSES GASOLINE TAX FOR GOVERNOR'S PARLEY Advises Assessment of Abutting Property for Road Improve- ment Be Dropped ‘ New London, Conn., July 17.—(?)— Proper application of gasoline taxes to highway construction will permit states to discard, in part, the an- cient theory that taxation should be levied only against tangible property, Governor George F. Shafer, of North Dakota, told members of the govern- ors conference here today. The major topic under discussion is taxation and Shafer was assigned to discuss gasoline taxes. Before motor vehicles became com- mon, Shafer said, the only way to fi- nance road building and maintenance was by direct taxation of tangible It was the only way to raise the money and every district had to have roads, he said. Now, however, by placing a tax on Gasoline sales, the states are able to Place the tax upon those who use the roads most and who are best able to beat the cost. The very sion of an automobile, Shafer said, is evidence of the ability to pay and no One pays more than his share. He forecast the time when all high- way improvements will be financed by sale of motor vehicle licenses and GO The mystery of Andrew Ogden's murder is solved. Romance has survived the hazards of suspicion and intrigue; Lucy and Jerry are happy—married. One important i point remains to be cleared up in today’s—the final—chapter of “Gold Bullets.” CHAPTER 49 ACCORDING TO POE Sixty-nine is getting on for much of this sort of thing and I am glad it ‘is over. Mrs. Moffit has just been in | brooding over me with a hot lemon- ade and a dish of warm olive oil. But now she has gone, and in my old car- pet slippers, Polyandria at my feet, I am drowsing over my book and ab- sorbing the pleasant heat from the crackling eucalyptus log in the grate. I am fearfully alone tonight. An- drew gone and Lucy going—not really going, and I am gaining something unusual in nephews, she tries to as- sure me, as if I didn’t know—leaves me desolate of spirit. My drowsing eyes fell on a calen- dar hung on the wall.. It is an old calendar and there are many pencil- ings on the curled and yellow top date sheet which records the days of the month of July, 1896. The cal- endar advertises Brewer's Whisky and its mount pictures a voluptuous lady. Lucy says it is inartistic, Mrs. Moffit says it is sinful, and both of them say I should burn it. Well, I'll take it down after I've had my little Joke on Lucy. Sitting up with a start, I saw that Lucy and Jerry had come in. They have been making love most of the day and I have had hardly ® word ‘with them. “Oh, you were asleep, Uncle John,” Lucy cried distressfully. “Nothing of the sort!” I snapped. “I ‘was reading.” Lucy laughed and késed me and Jerry grinned and his arm over my shoulder; both of them then perched upon the arms of my chair. T love to have them near me. Their bounding youthfulness warms my cooling blood. Jerry picked up my book, which had somehow slid behind my back. “Poe,” Lucy sniffed, as she caught sight of the volume. Lucy reads Wells and Shaw and Mencken. “You'll have nightmare, Uncle John.” “No,” I said with a little secret smile. “I was only loined Letter. of your wedding present.” “What has The Purloined Letter got to do with our wedding present?” Lucy demanded, greatly astonished. “Not your real wedding dear,” I said banteringly. a@ temporary gift. <A real wedding Present requires prayerful meditation. “For an elderly bachelor you are wonderfully wise,” Lucy informed me. “But—I insist. What has The Pur- Joined Letter got to do with our tem- Porary wedding present?” “Dear me!” I exclaimed. “Don't you remember the story of The Purloined Letter?

Includéd in his list of roads to be so financed were those built by counties and townships as well as by states and in part streets constructed by cities. Branding as wrong in theory the assessment of abutting property to Pay for road improvements, Shafer said it is much better to abandon it for the gasoline tax. “The person or farmer living nearest the road re- ceives no more benefit than one only slightly removed from it,” he said. “In fact he receives less, because the man living next to the highway hes an- noyances and hazards to which his neighbor is not subject.” Among these annoyances he listed dust and dirt from unpaved high- ways, damage to fences by motorists who stop along the highway, to stock which may stray from pas- tures and even the danger to human life which may sometimes occur ¥ i li troduced in the United States postal system in 1883, PEREZOLO COcHniLio!
