THE GAS TAX 1
In choosing gasoiine as one of liie chief sources of revenue j
in raksihg funds to balance the national budget sponsors of J
the Wll in Congress counted and counted with ail assurance j
on the fact that the Public will continue to ride in automo-
biles in spite of hn&ndal depression and so long as funds for
the purpose are available. Men who stand in the bread-line, j
prefer to receive their food at the^hands of charity, and
spend What little’ they can raise for operating cars which are
no longer considered luxuries, but as necessary as the kitchen j
stove.
It ft expected that the federal gasoline tax of 1 cent a gal-
lon now in effect will produce $150,000,000 based on 1931 gaso-
line consumption of slightly more than 15,000,000,000 gallons,
fhdse figures Have JUSt been released by the American Petro- !
liuffi Institute. No refunds or exemptions are provided which
means that states, counties and communities also must pay
the tax on fuel consumed in motor vehicles they own and op-
erate. * ..
j * • !
The federal gasoline tax adopted May 31 as a part of the
emergency tax bill in effect raises the rates of existing levies
up#n gasoline. This means that Texas motorists will pay the
MUe gasoline tax of 4 cents plus One cent or 5 cents in all.
They will pay it and will continue to ride unworried, so long
go the price for riding can be raised; and it Will be raised.

The president's broad plan as placed before the Geneva

of the problem of disarmament though it ls seriously doubted
whether or not such a drastic reduction as that proposed by
Mr. Hoover will find strong support from the other powers.

Dramatic interest that once attended the production of the
first bale of cotthn each season stems to have vanished along
With the prices oflee paid for the commodity. There is little to
get CkCited oVer when a 500 pound bale brings its producer
$36—about the amount of the premium once paid for the first
bale When Cotton was “King” and paid for its production.
Wfien a Rio Grande City farmer brought in the first two bales
of 1932 cotton Wednesday there Were no fast trains, airplanes
or automobiles waiting to rush them to market. 4
The death of Gustave 8Chleicher as recorded Wednesday
reminds one again that the generation of Cuero’s first citi-
$ehs Is rapidly passing. There are few of the “old-timers"
left, ahd it is sad indeed to see these fine men and women of
the pioneering days leaving us.
SYNOPSIS
For years, Paco Morales ruled the
peons in Mexico with an iron hand,
confiscating their land* and driving
them from their homes, but the crisis
has edttte. “El Coyote,” the mys-
terious bandit, avenges every out-
rage perpetrated by Morale*. The
ranchers await their unknown pro-
tector’s word to revolt. Morales,
with the aid of the U. S. Cavalry
under Major Blount, has aesrehed
for the bandit in vain. Ted Rad-
cliffe, an American whose late father
was ruined by Morales, is in love
with Adela, the Spaniard’s beautiful
niece. Jito, Morales’ ward, is jealous
of Ted. Bob Harkrtess, Ted’s friend,
tells him ha has plana for settling
the score with Morales. While out
riding, Ted and Adela lose their way
'and spend the night in the desert.
Adela resents her uncle’s suspicions
Later, Bob returns home with Ted
and learns that some of his cattle
were stolen. He doubts that “El
Coyote” is responsible. At Men-
do2a’s, a notorious resort, Bob leaves
Ted and goes upstairs to visit Ann
Reed, an entertainer. Bob is “El
Coyote” and Ann his spy. She is
deeply ht love with him. As autumn
comes, “El Coyote” makes ready »#
overthrow Morales. When Ted no-
tices Bob’s stolen cattle among Jito’s
herd, the latter explains he joat
found them and intended returning
them. Major Blount invites Bob
and Ted to his headquarters to learn
the identity of “El Coyote.” Bob is
puzzled. Morales and Jito are also
present. Antonio Ortega, the in-
former, one of “El Coyote’s” lieu-
tenants, is expected momentarily.
CHAPTER XXXV
“He calls himself Antonio C
tega.”
Don Bob moved ever so slightly
in Ills chair. "A short, stocky chap
with a scar over his eye?” he asked.
For the first time Jito spoke. “I
gave him that scar, he muttered.
“It lies above hit right eye.”
The major nodded. “That’s t
fellow. A villainous sort of ruffian.
Last week he tame here at night,
hall frightened to death. Told me
he had a secret to sell. I felt like
kicking him, but in this life one
works with the tools one finds. I
‘ tried to get him to tell me then and
there, but not he. Said in a week
l|e wduid be ready to leave the coun-
try and that the night he told me I
was to pay him the reward and es-
cort him to the fort. Oh, the fellow
was in a terrible funk. He must
; ha ye loved money very tadch to dare
this thing iti the face of bis fear. He
wa9 so rotten scared b* jabbered,
and perhaps you ean’t blame him.
tYou all remember what happened to
the last man who gave information.”
The major touched his chest. “Two
shots through the. throat and
handful of gold coins scattered over
him to show El Coyote's contempt.
I’ve had to prorhise this fellow mili-
tary protection and a safe escort out
of the country. By God, I’ll see
nothing happens to him. If anything
did happen, we wouldn’t be able to
get another man to open his mouth
if you offered him the Homestake
Mine. So make yourselves comfort
ab’e, gentlemen, until nine-thirty.
And then for El Coyote.”
In silence the four men considered
the major’s table. BJount himself
walked restlessly up and down the
tent. Never before had he been so
•near his quarry. He buttoned and
unbuttoned his coat. A few minutes
more. Ted felt the tenseness. In
the 4yes of Morales glowed a fife
of untying hate. He too was having
difficulty in remaining calm. Cau-
tiously Ted looked at Jito, but the
big frljow stood apart watching the
shadows that rose and fell on the
tent wall. An interminable silence.
At last Don Bob looked at his

minutes. Think I’ll go out and take
a look about your camp, major. No,
don’t bother coming. I just want to
stretch a bit.” And smiling at Ted
he passed out of the tent.
Thoughtfully Morales looked alter
him. “So at last Don Bob’s roman-
tic hero comes to the end of a
bloody trail: It was bound to be.
For how can one put trust in this
scum of the border and hope to live?
One offers money and nothing hap-
pens because men are afraid. One
offers more money, and sooner or
later comes a man whose greed for
gold is greater than his ir-ar of the
Coyote’s vengeance. So it is with
this Antonio. For him rewards and
protections are too good. I would
learn what he knows and cm his
throat.”
“Except that I have promised him
both reward and protection,” the
major reminded.
Morale’s smile held an amused,
pity. “As you will. You Americans
and your sentimental moralities!
They amuse me, if I may say so
without offense. You believe in
keeping faith even with the faith-
less. An expensive gesture at times.
But protect him, by all means, my
major. Qtie va, what we want is
El Coyote.’’
In the talk neither Jito nor Ted
took part, but stood on either side
of the table, looking silently down.
Once Jito’s glance fell on the young
American, and he seemed again to
be gauging him as an antagonist not
unworthy of one’s best skill. Again
came to Ted that sense of inevitable
conflict—of <- coming time when
thfst two would come face to face
In a last encounter.
So the long minutes dragged by,
and at length even Morales and the
major fell silent, gazing with a kind
of hypnotic attraction at the watch
that lay on the table between them,
awaiting the arrival of this unknown
man who might clear up the mys-
tery that for years had baffled the
borderland.

The Spaniard’s face glowed with
a dark fury. He glared at the Mexi-
can. “Quien es El Coyote?” he
hissed. “Digame, pronto, quien es?”
Slowly the Mexican’s head moved,
his lips opened and his eyes roved
about the little group. At list they
rested on the face of Don Bob. A
little convulsive quiver ran through
the Wounded man, his jaws dropped,
and he slumped limply forward. The
major’s hand closed on the Mexi-
can’s pulse. No beat of life. It was
