fIUTOISTS FACE GAS TAX BOOST License Fees May Go Up If Levy Is Not Tilted. Increased gasoline tax or higher auto license fees will be asked of the legislature, convening Jan. 10, to finance paving of the state highway system in its entirety in the next five years. This decision was reached Thursday by representatives of seventeen state-wide organizations comprising the good roads board, in conference at the Claypool. A committee to determine which means of financing shall be recommended to the legislature will be apponted by Dr. A. R. Baldridge of Terre Haute, president of the Hoosier State Automobile Association. Majority opinion favored doubling auto fees, rather than increasing the gas tax another cent. Suggestion that the gas tax law be revised to devote all 3 cents of the tax to the highway fund by discontinuing the distribution of one cent of the tax to counties was made by Walter S. Chambers of New Castle, representing the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association. But Chambers did not recommend this as a part of the legislative program. Legislators, insist such an effort would bring - protest from every countv in the state. Three t>---and miles of the 5,100 in the state highway system remain to be paved, John D. Williams, highway director, told the group. Considering . an( j culverts, the average cost per mile of paving the rcmc/ 'ing 3 ~<'=- w*ui $30,000, Williams declared. At the present rate of progress, about 265 miles of concrete road and eighty miles of bituminous surfacing will have been laid thi* year.

and fiervous debility, heart and nervous overstrain. In this particular firm, the workers are not driven at their work. In firms where the conditions are less pleasant and the work is strenuous, the absence rate for diseases of this type is lower. Dr. Culpin likens this type of nervousness to that which appeared as shell shock during the war. The worker’s liking for his work plays a large part in determining the amount of absence due to nervous trouble. Among many workers examined, those who liked their work had very few absences due to their nervousness, even though they showed on examination the same kind and degree of nervous disease as owrkers with many absences, who Ambassador to Meet Hoover Bn United Press RIA DE JANEIRO, Nov. 16.—Robert Wood Bliss, American ambassador to Argentina, who arrived here en route to Paris, announced today he will return to Buenos Aires immediately to receive Herbert Hoover when he arrives in Argentina.
