PITY AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
The automobile owner is one of
our largest payers of special tax-
es. During 1930, his total tax bill
was in excess of $1,000,000,000.
Of this, license fees accounted
for $375,000,000; city taxes, $30,-
000,000, and personal property
levies, $130,000,000. As is natural,
the gasoline tax was the gargan-
tua among the items, with a total
of $515,000,000.
These statistics show vividly
why motor owners are beginning
to grow rebellious when further
gas tax increases—a favorite
sport of legislatures—are propos-
ed. The old crack about working
a willing horse to death aptly
describes the situation. The car
owner may see the justice in con-
tributing largely to the cost of
the roads he uses—but when his
money is spent for other purposes
he justly wonders what, it is all
about. The principle of equality
of taxation is shattered against
the gas tax.
States which have adopted five
and six cent tax rates may find
that the automobile owner will
not always be quiescent when his
pocket book is unfairly tampered
with. The gas tax has become a
legislature mania. We need a re-
turn to normalcy.

tending school at Baylor College

IS LIFE HOPELESS?
“A man cometh into the world
without his consent; and leaves it
against his will. During his stay
on earth his time is spent in one
continuous round of contraries
and misunderstandings. In his in-
facy he is an angel; in his boy-
hood he is a devil; in his manhood
he is anything from a lizard up;
in his duties he is a fool; if he
raises a family he is a chump; if
he raises a check he is .a thief; if
he is a poor man he is a poor
manager and has no sense; if he
is a rich man he is dishonest, but
is considered smart; if he is in
politics he is a crook; if he is out
of politics you can’t place him,
as he is an “undesirable citizen;”
if he goes to church he is a hipo-
crite; if he’ stays away from
church he is a sinner; if he don-
ates to foreign missions he does
it for show; if he doesn’t he is
stingy and a “tightwad.” When
he first comes into the world,
everybody wants to kiss him; be-
fore he goes^out they want to
kick him. If he dies young there
was a great future before him;
if he lives to a ripe old age he is
in the way—living only to save
funeral expenses. ’ ’—Exchange.
