In 1896 Ger- many passed a law to restriet speculation. It dreve brokers to form unofficial and un- controlled groups, sent much of the speeu- lative business out of the country and ree sujted in even greater fluctuation of prices than had been obtained before the law was passed. Germany repealed the law as a failure in 1908. Of two evils the lesser should be chosen. A national lottery would be a great revenue producer, especially during the present emergency, and at the same time would be an out-let for the natural craving to take a chance. If Congress will not enact into law the bill sponsored by a senator of New Jersey, the states should be permitted to create their own lotteries. A.bill has been introduced in the New York legislature to permit New York city to-raise welief funds through a lottery. It is-claimed that $15,000,000 would be raised for this laudable purpose with prizes amounting to $260,000, -} is paid by the gasoline companies, er way. It isn’t; itis paid by each of us every time we buy gasoline. Perhaps we think it is smal] be- eause the tax rate is only one cent a gal- lon, But that means $6 a year to the aver- age motorist, and while $6 in itself isn’t so much, it is really $6 added to an average jof $24 in state gasoline taxes, plus state registration fees, drivers’ licenses, property taxes, | taxes, lubricating oil taxes, wheel and others. All in one we buy our car over again in texes ahout every four years! Some demon statistician has figured that in the life of the average car, seven years, taxes upon it amount to 186.9 per cent of its value, In fact, the total tax rate on the average car today is estimated at 26.7 per | cent of value! If the average | taxpayer fully was | aware of these facts and realized how much taxes really cost him, it is probable he would be in sympathy with this current | movement to eliminate federal taxes upon } gasoline. Of course, it isn’t what anyone would call substantial tax reduction, but it represents a saving and it probably is the only kind of tax reduction the federal gov- ernment can afford to give people this year. This moyement is interesting in anoth- It is based largely upon an ef- fort to encourage taxpayers to take enough interest in the affairs of government, and in tax reduction, to write a letter to their Senators and Representatives urging them to vote for the elimination of this duplicat- ing federal tax upon gasoline, .Most of the time, Congressmen at Washington say, they have to guess what their constituents want,» Here’s a ehance to tell them! EFFICACY OF ADVERTISING Newspaper advertising proves to be one of the most dependable indexes to busi- ness in present times when it is absolutely necessary to chart a eareful course in or- der to keep our institutions off the rocks. A number of the most complete surveys made in the past four years have proved that advertising has made it possible to atart new: businesses, and that old business enterprises that were kept in the public notice through advertising were. the ones the storm. . One reason that must not be over- looked why business is better right now than it was a few months ago is because the advertising pages of newspapers show marked increases in the use of space by motors, utilities, food products, clothing and local business houses. No line of busi- ness has been harder hit than hotels in the large cities, but one outstanding case that has come to our attention is the Ralph Hits organization that started two of the principal new hotels in New York, and by the foree of advertising achieved remark- able success. “Advertise what you wil] do and then ower kb OS back up your promises to the public’ with just a little more genuine service than you have offered and you'll succeed,” is .the; way Charles E. Rochester, manager of The Lexington, the snappy up-town hotel of the | above group, accounts for the fact that the Lexington is one of the most places with the general public iea’s metropolis. “Modern methods in arranging draw- | ings and layouts in display advertising, and | in Amer- {will make mi friends and hold G. 8.
