Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON ———_$ Gas Tax Diversion Indications are that the North Da- kota legislature will proceed with the} idea of diverting proceeds from the State gasoline tax to sustain the state's tural credit bond system. In so do- ing it will aid materially in solving one problem and create another, North Dakota has been one of the few states in which every cent col- lected from the motorists has gone ‘back into projects designed for his benefit. At present the money col- Jected as gasoline tax or in auto li- cense fees is apportioned to the state end counties and limited to use on roads and bridges, either state or lo- cal. Enactment of the Flannigan bill will be the first departure from this to organize @ tannery and harness factory at the state penitentiary, Al- $0 @ mill Zor washing and combing wool, Why not both? Canadian Trade In connection with figures issued by the federal government showing that England, Canada, Japan and Ger- many were the best customers of the United States in 1932, it is interest- ing to note data on the same sub- ject prepared by the Canadian gov- ernment. ‘Until last year the United States was Canada’s best customer, purchas- ing goods valued at $256,942,045, or $85,407,223 more than the volume of sales to Great Britain in 1931. In 1932, however, Canadian sales to the United States slid off sharply while those to the mother country rose, England purchasing $178,171,680 worth of goods or $15,540,901 more than did the United States, A signifi- cant thing about this trend was that it was most pronounced during the last six months of the year and prob- ably is increasing steadily. The Canadian review doesn't even Guess at the causes for this commer- cial phenomenon. It merely states them as so. Nevertheless they are of urgent interest to the United States. Is it because American factories, establish- ed in Canada, are taking advantage of the reciprocity between the two {British nations and cementing friend- ly interest abroad? Is it because America, with wider resources, finds that it must be more self-supporting? Some will claim that we need not concern ourselves about diminishing |purchases from Canada; that what we want is more sales to Canada. These overlook the fact that the two things go naturally together, for one-way trade isn't very stable. For commerce to flow naturally it must flow in both directions.

He has squalled like @ steer at branding time but has nev- ertheless paid. As a result a power- ful coalition of persons and groups interested in the motorist as a cus- tomer has been operating to protect his interests. The motor makers feel that the car owner gets better use from his car and is more satisfied if he has good roads over which to operate. The road builders regard the man behind the wheel as a customer for this sudden abandonment of a monetary basis which the Empire had guarded for years.

Even as he thunders his jultra-modernism and appears about has not been permitted. The objective was to inflate import prices and that has been accomplished except as oth- er nations also have abandoned the because his demands for improved conditions build business for them. The oil man is in the same position as the automobile manufacturer. In the past they have succeeded in impressing their ideas upon the North Dakota legislature with sufficient em- Phasis to keep the gasoline and li- cense taxes from going unduly high and to keep the revenues produced in funds where they would benefit the motorist. Now that a change is proposed they may be expected to enter vigorous Protest. Incidentally, the use to which North Dakota proposes to put this accrual te its general fund is unique among | the states. Many commonwealths use ‘the gas tax to retire road bonds but none, so far as the records show, is dedicating a portion of such income to the sole purpose of paying for : Fonds issued for other purposes. Tn 1932 various legislatures diverted | money from this source to such wide- jy divergent uses as general funds, election expenses, schools, fish hatch- eries, libraries, distribution of seeds, || Poor relief, docks, mothers’ pensions, tuberculosis hospital, blind relief and soldiers’ pensions. Not The First North Dakota has received so much Publicity about the “secession” reso- Jution offered in the state senate that we may get the idea this state was the first to think of such a thing in this year of grace. Such is far from the fact. Preceding the North Dakota Sensation by three days was an edi- torial declaration in the New York Daily News which reads as follows: “IZ this (allotment) bill becomes law, what? Food riots in the cities. Guer- villa warfare between town and coun- try. Revolution, probably. Secession of this part of the country from the Union, not impossibly.” Of course the writer was all hot tnd bothered about the proposal to Bive the farmers a break at last. He not only condemned it, he condemned everything connected with it in terms ‘warm enough to curl the edges of the Paper. One gets the idea that, if he really turned himself loose and said what he thought in his natural vern- seular the most case-hardened cow- man would have difficulty in holding up his end of the contest. A lot of the big eastern newspapers, by the way, are saying mean about the allotment plan and sor of North Dakota's proposal ever reads the New York man's newspaper. And anyway, our own “secession” idea was only three days later than his, “There has been some talk locally gold standard.” In other words, England suffered from difficulty in adjusting trade bal- | ances in gold and so, by abandoning the gold standard, she relieved her- self of the necessity of paying in gold. Apparently the only big gold deal the empire has made within the last year has been transfer to the United States of her war debt payment. Gold stan- dard countries find it difficult to send goods into England because of the dif- ference in exchange and the result is that more business is done at home or with other parts of the empire and with nations which also have aban- doned the yellow metal to its fate. California enthusiasts probably will Point to the recent snow and bliz- zards as proof that they “have every- thing” on the coast.

Roosevelt, is showing not only the will to give a good administration which everybody credited him with, but much good sense and sound judgment as well. That is encouraging because the better the Roosevelt administration is, the better it will be for the country. And if that seems inconsistent in a newspaper that opposed him for elec- tion, let that newspaper say as it has said on a previous occasion, “He was not our candidate, but he is our presi- dent.” If it is a time to be Republican or Democratic when a campaign is on, when the campaign is over it is a time to be American and to support the president of the United States in his efforts to make this a greater and happier country. Mr. Roosevelt showed good sense in arranging to discuss the debt with Great Britain. He showed good sense in saying that the Hoover doctrine on stolen terri- tory is the Roosevelt doctrine too. And, above all, he is showing good sense in picking his cabinet. It is im- Portant, because these are troublous times, that he surround himself with the best advisers he can find. He 't find a better tary of the treasury vailed state the incoming administration, President-elect Roosevelt @ good start, and that is the better he does the it will the imposition. These frank discussions of the racket have elicited a characteristic reaction. On the one hand the con- ductor has collected a series of let- ters of putative parentage containing some of the finest billingsgate he has yet procured for his scrapbook. On the other hand no less than three victims of nervous imposition have written to express their thanks. “What I admire most about your column is your straight from the shoulder . . . a sister who is ‘nervous’... brother and I have a merry life with her tan- trums + » She thinks you're the bunk...” This nervous sister who is 64 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds has a re- ducing obsession, and insists that her plumper sister adhere to the same starvation diet she chooses, going into one of her tantrums whenever she finds or suspects the victim of the imposition of sneaking any additional food. Sounds more like mental aber- ration. A practitioner of nervous imposi- tion writes: “Your article saying that neu- rotic adults are merely spoiled children is inhumane. . . There are bundreds of different things that can affect the nervous sys- tem, and not being made of bricks and mortar of course human be- ings cannot stand the strains of life quite so well as brick build- ings . . .

This is a concession that in a minority of cases the prac- titioner of the imposition honestly be- lieves it is some actual weakening or exhaustion of his or her hypothetical “nerve energy” (of course physiology recognizes no such force or energy).
