Editor and Publisher Office Phone 4 — Home Phone 994 THURSDAY, ANG 9, 1934 THE GASOLINE TAX A petition is being circulated by the Fann Bureau, throughout the county, which requests the Board of County Commissioners to set aside an amount not less than $25,000 from the gasoline fund to apply on the retirement of the County Unit Road Bonds and interest. Monday, the county commissioners turned down the proposition mot finally, but with the expression that they wanted to know the sentiment of the people in regard to it. The petition states that on account of the drought, the tax on property will be a greater burden than ever, and that the amount be raided by taxation should be reduced by $25,000. In their xeal to have property taxes reduced those who drew up the petition seem to have forgotten that the motorists pay this tax, and that if taxes are to be reduced they should be considered. The gasoline tax was originally intended to apply on the maintenance and building of roads not for the purpose of retiring bonds contracted by property owners of the county. But in these days of emergency decisions by courts, original intent, purpose and protection of laws have been thrown over by the courts. The Supreme Court of Indiana has ruled that it is legal fur counties to use gasoline tax and auto license fees for payment of County Unit Road Bends and interest. Also, the attorney general has rul-

ed that draught beer can be sold, when the law nays that only bottled beer shall be sold in Indiana. We do not consider that a tax collected for a s|>ecific purpose should be used for another purpose as it is most unfair to those who pay the tax. If taxes must be reduced—and they should—why not reduce the gasoline tax instead of taking a roundabout way that is unfair to those who pay the tax? And how about the farmers that are living on some mud road who are someday hoping and expecting an improved road built from a tax that was originally intended to build the road in front of their farms? Will they thiink it fair for that tax to be applied on a bond for an improved road past another man’s place, who hai had the use of it for some time while they wallow in mud if it rains or dust if it doesn't, or sinks in chuck holes in the winter, when he might have had an improved road if the gasoline tax had not been diverted. MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS Hoy Adrian, who is visiting his grandmother, Mrs. Fannie Hoy asked her, having reasoned it out that if chickens set on eggs to make little chickens, if cows sat on butter to make calves? / ~ G When Melviin Tully and Gene, Method came into shore with the z nine bass weighing 19% pounds, the largest one weighing 5% pounds and the next 4%, pounds, a group of women admired the catch.
