His wife and nephew were | at his bedside. i ' The novels comprising the ‘ ForI syte Saga" were among tin 1 works i [ that made Galsworthy one of the ■ two most widely read British novelists. sharing popular honors with ■ H.

"Flowering Wildi erness," was the modern story of > distant cousins of the Forsyte clan, f Character portrayal was the sea- - ture of Galsworthy’s plays as well ; as his novels.

NEW DIRECTORS ARE SELECTED MONDAY NIGHT ' CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE L ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦ • • — .or condition as it sees ill.' it is claimed by some," the;! speaker said, "that the trucking jeompanies pay more taxes than the”, 'railroads. The steam railroads ■the United Stites paid in eight i ( years (1923-1930) in real taxes .f 2. , 930.470,299, over one million dol-l' lars a day for tlie entire period, i 'which were all devoted to support' us government, federal. Unto. <nim ' ty, township, road, school, etc. > "During this same period, px-ji ponditnres for highway construction and maintenance totaled sll,- ‘ : 738 000,000. Os this huge sum. only ’ per cent was collected in ■license fees and g soline taxes. Property owners, railroad compan-: 1 ies nnd income tax payers paid; 63% per cent of tlie amount. "If motor vehicles ns a whole I are paying only 36% per cent of tlie total highway costs, and there! are 23 million passenger automobiles and 3% million trucks, it is ' !quite evident that the amounts of.' deficient rentals for use of your' highways paid by the trucks do not; equal the money paid in real taxes ' by the railroads.. “We have in tlie United States i' 25(1,01)0 miles (main line) of railroad and 3.000,000 miles of highway, of which nearly three-quart-.ers of a million miles are surfaced,' the latter being three times Cue railroad mileage. Surfaced highways are comparable in cost per , mile to railroad lines.. There are 1 2.200.000 freight cits as against 3.;500,000 motor trucks. "If the rentals paid by motor trucks were real taxes." continued Mr. Strouse, "and if they amounted to more than tlie real taxes paid by the railroads (both statements ‘ are denied), why thould not the motors pay more taxes on their -3% million motor trucks operating i on highways built and owned by • the public than the railroads op- - orating 2,200,000 freight cars on i rights-of-way which they own anil -; maintain at their own expense? -i “Instead of the users of tlie rural -; highways paying tlie entire cost, t the public must pay 63% per cent . of this cost. Many highway bonds ■'run from 20 to 50 years. Tlie short 1 life of road surfaces is a matter t of common observation. To ‘pay ); as you go’, one-tenth of the out- ■'; standing bonds should be paid ( each year. The deficits to lie paid r after the road surfaces are worn 1 out. dole from future taxpayers, ! reached tlie appalling sum of 700

million dollars for the year 1930. "Let us consider some facts con-'i corning real taxes paid by your' railroads in Indiana, last year. On > Nov lo lust your speaker addressed the Lions chili at Gosport, | Wayne township, Owen county,' and on Nov. 15 a public meeting! at North Vernon, Center township.; Jennings county. Last year in i Wayne township the steam railroads paid 49.9 per cent and in Center township 50.3 per cent of all the taxes assessed in tlie respective townships. "Tlie people were having trouble keeping their schools running in ('enter township, yet tlie railroads paid more than h ilf of their school taxes. If the trucks paid as much ; money in real taxes as the railroads paid in these two communities, the financing of their school problems ' would be solved " 4) EPERSONALS Felix Graber, who has been sei- ; iously ill for some time, is reported improved.
