TRUCK TIRE TAX, CITED AS UNDER OTHER STATES

Payment of Million Due in| Next Six Days: Townsend Urges Collections.

Indiana's 130,000 truck owners | who must pay more than $1,000,000 in tire taxes in the next six days, were told by the State Administra«| tion today that they are paying less] in fees than vehicle owners nl neighboring states. The tire tax law. was not fully enforced last year] because of 10 months’ litigation | which ended last February when | the Indiana Supreme Court held the | act valid. “Taking the 1!:-ton truck for illustration, the Indiana owner pays $44 total state fees as compared to! $50 in Illinois, $52 in Kentucky, $60 | in Michigan and $74 in Ohio,”| Frank Finney, State Motor Vehicle Bureau Director, said.

passed in 1937, |

Explains Road Cost

“Weight and high pressure tires are the principal cause of road | damage,” he said “Government | figures show that 40 per cent of} road cost is due to the presence| of heavier vehicles It has been shown that were the roads built for | passenger cars only. the cost would be reduced almost one-half. So it Is but fair that the vehicles which cause the extra damage pay their just share.” The statement also asserted that the State has gone farther than other states in the interest of the truck owners “Through reciprocal agreements the Indiana trucker now has the use of all Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan roads free of charge,” Mr. Finney said. Governor Townsend entered the tax activities vesterday when he told the State's 156 branch license agents that it is “your duty to collect the tire tax.”

Governor Takes Stand

“No one will agree that *rucks should pound over our highways paving only a plate tax,” the Governor said. Praising the license agents he said: “It is such a record as you folks have made which convinces me that there is no system better or more responsive to the will of the people than the patronage system. “When they talk about the merit system I will agree with then 100 per cent on the merit in government but not when they try to make a civil service svstem out of i>

2. And American would dispense with the formal, right-angled bow in favor of the handshake too. These verdicts are indicated day In a nation-wide survey ducted by the American tute of Public Opinion test of the way to greet royalty the following question to a resentative cross-section of and women in all parts of country “When Americans are presented to the King and Queen of England on their visit to this country, de you think American women should curtsey or shake hands? Shaking hands wins by a vote of almost 4 to 1, and in a similar question which asked whether American men should bow or shake hands the vote is equally large. The actual percentages are: Women Should Curtsey Women Should Shake Hands .. Men Should Bow Men Should Shake Hands ..

HE comments show that, far from implying any disrespect for America’s distinguished royal visitors, these verdicts merely mean that a majority of Americans believe the King and Queen should be greeted in the manner “most natural” to this country The most common expressions of this feeling are (1) that Americans should follow American customs in this country, although it might be correct to do otherwise if they were in England, (2) that shaking hands shows more friendliness and that the King and Queen “probably expect to be greeted as if they were Americans.” Others remark that most Americans would make sorry curtsies and bows anyhow. On the other side of the argument, the prevailing comments are that bowing and curtsying are ‘due their position” and that sre ave \ US

SAY IT

Following are a few of the ver'batim comments in the Institute's excursion into the public's attitude) (toward the visit of the King and Queen:

SAYING “SHAKE HANDS”

“The best thing would be to greet the King and Queen just as if they were fellow Americans—with a good | hearty handshake.”

“Hand-shaking is the way we do it here.”

Roosevelts—and they're just as good las the King and Queen.” { “Shake hands. Every man’s a king {in this country.” “I wouldn't bend my knees to any!body. It isn’t American.” i "Get the thrill of a handshake.” “Tip your hat to the Queen and shake hands with the King.” “Royalty doesn’t expect curtseving in America.’ “Just slip them a mitt—theyv're just a man and woman to us.” “This is America—and 1939."

SAYING

“Curtseying is the custom when | presented to royalty. “It's an old English custom. curtsey and make them feel good.” “Pay them the respects theyre used to.” “I should imagine a King and Queen would hardly know how to shake hands. Better bow.” “I don’t believe in shaking hands. It's not sanitary.” “Emily Post says to curtsey.”
