Rotten Treatment of a Worker of the Race "Down Home"—Making a Martyr of Himself— "Social and Political Equality." Norfolk, Va.—Our people here are rallying to the defense of Stephen Graham who went on trial, Dec. 5, before the Corporation Court grand jury, charged with "wilful and unjustifiable disturbing of the public peace and conspiracy to incite the colored population to insurrection against the white population." Graham, a young worker, has endearled himself to all local workers, of whom are lucky to have work at 25 cents, because at a meeting, Oct. 15, he advocated full racial equality" and signed up a number of the workers of both races for the International Labor Defense. Under Virginia law he faces a sentence ranging from five to ten years in prison. Graham has already been fined $250 in a magistrate's court. He appealed the latter case and at a hearing before the grand jury, they failed to come to an agreement, three being for acquittal and two for conviction. Graham tells the following story: The Same Old South! "Norfolk, with 15 shipyards and many other industries, has a big Afro-American population that is miserably exploited. I made a speech before colored and white workers alike, Oct 15, at which detectives and agents of the industrialists were present, in which I advocated unionizing under the Trade Union Unity League and joining the International Labor and Trade Union that advocate full racial and political rights to the meeting, I was arrested on the above charges. After getting out on bail, I was threatened with lynching. The police broke into my room, took all my books and literature, and even stole a watch and $7 in change. Detective Nowitzky told me if I left town, I would not be mistreated. But if I stayed, I would get into hot water. Of course, I refused to leave town. At my trial the prosecuting attorney said he pleasure to prosecute the judge and he appealed worst prejudices of the jury. I had twelve witnesses, seven colored and five white workers. One worker lost her job because she dared to come and testify in my behalf. The prosecution attempted to prove that I advocated shooting the police. Of course that was nonsense. I simply told the workers that unless they organized and used the only weapon they had, to strike, they could never be stopped. The cents at hour they may get. I told them that only under leadership of the true militant unions, such as those in the Trade Union Unity League, which declare for full racial equality, could they gain their demands." Graham went on trial again. Dec 5. Meanwhile, he is out on $2,500 bail. The International Labor Defense is carrying on a campaign among all workers to gain his freedom. DECEMBER 7, 1929.

By a White Friend, A Native of Alabama Where Years Ago He Was a Member of the State Senate and a Postmaster. There comes from the Farm Bureau, Washington, D. C., a news story of 100,000 hill-county farmers, over the South as well as thousands of farm workers. In a condition of want. It is described as a sort of slavery, the existing share-crop system, for it entails a debt from which there is no end. Strange, this is news. A quarter of a century ago, writing from Alabama, I detailed this very condition and great papers and magazines carried this story. I then told of the poor White South and the oppressed White South. I made many speeches before the leading societies and clubs of the North on this subject. Again, this week, we have a press story from Florida featuring peaage; the farming out of colored persons to chain-gangs and turpentine camps and farms. Of this condition I wrote, too, from Alabama and was branded a "ilar," a "defamer" of my state, "an enemy to the best people," and told I ought not to be permitted to live in the South. I was abused, persecuted, finally beaten; all because I told the truth, and that I did tell the truth was brought out in court prosecutions for these offenses. Then we were taken to the cases. It is all, however, recurring again. The Ku Klux spirit is abroad in the land, South and North. As long as there is such a host of ignorant and half-starved array of poor whites in the southern states, their ignorant minds receptive of Ku Klux Klan propaganda, so long will there be persecution of colored. It is and has, for all these years, been the political game of the oligarchy to keep the poor whites poor and the colored people in subjection. Joseph G. Manning. New York City, Dec. 3, 1929. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GRANTS FORMER COUNCILMAN'S EARNEST PLEA—THE PROSPECTS BETTER NOW. Many People of Both Races Feel That Tom Has Been Punished Enough Already Even If Guilty, Which He Still Denies. Columbus, O., Dec. 4. — Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland, convicted of receiving a bribe while a city councilman, won a review of his case before the Ohio Supreme Court, today. The court allowed the motion or the review and put the case on its socket. 'Probably two months will elapse before a decision is elapsed. This will be a review of the entire case on its merits. It can result in one of three things: complete affirmation and upholding of the sentence, complete reversal of findings of lower courts, or a reversal that will send the case back to Cleveland for a new trial. Rules on Legal Issues. Rules on Legal Issues. The court ruled that the case presented by the plaintiff came within its scope of review. The decision is a victory particularly for Atty. Alex H. Martin, the latest addition to his legal advisors, and for the former councilman and Republican ward boss, after his trial and conviction on charges of accepting a bribe of $200 from Walter L. Oehme, crippled ex-patrolman and detective, for whom Fleming introduced legislation in the Cleveland City Council compensating him for medical bills. He also received one more chance to avoid the two years and nine months to ten years' sentence at hard labor fixed by the Common Pleas Court there and upheld by the Court of Appeals in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County. Argument against Fleming's appeal was made, Oct. 10, before the higher court by Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys P. L. A. Lleighley and E. J. Hopple of Cleveland. Since his trial, Judge J. 21 Fleming under his under $10,000 bond, resigned his Council seat, discontinued law practice, to live in semi-seclusion at his home at 2342 E. 40th St., Cleveland. Fleming's indictment on Jan. 21 followed charges made the day before by Oehme that he paid Fleming $200 for promoting legislation in Council to reimburse him for medical bills. Fleming was arraigned, pleaded not guilty to the charge, and went on trial before Common Pleas Judge O., sitting there by assignment. At the trial, Fleming denied he personally sponsored the ordinance, but was confronted by a note on the back of one of his business cards, in which Denies West Pointers Were Ordered Not to Talk to Him—That "Special Dispatch" to N. Y. Daily Newspaper. West Point, N. Y.—Alonzo E. Parham, our cadet from Chicago at the U. S. Military Academy here, in an interview, Monday, said the treatment he had received since he entered the academy had been fair and impartial. The permission granted to him broke a policy which had been in effect at the academy for more than a century. Parham objected to the fool-publicity recently given him and remarked that it was "discouraging to see my position so badly misrepresented and to be singled out as an object of ploy. Published reports that cadets never talk to me or that my relations with them are strained are absolutely false. I realize that orders cannot be issued governing friendships and that such a matter is the worst to ask. Since the effect that cadets have been ordered not to talk to me are false. Treatment Is Fair. "Since July 1, when I entered, my treatment at the hands of officers and cadets has been fair and never under any circumstances has there been any sign of discrimination or prejudice. All the officers are giving me a square deal. I have participated in every activity with other fourth-class men from the minute of my arrival in the military drills have participated in intramural sports, playing baseball, basketball, football and several others." Mathematics has given Parham considerable trouble and he admitted that since the first week's instructions in September he has been deficient. "During the first week" "I instructed for a week received extra instruction on two occasions at conferences with the officer instructors." That "Special Dispatch". New York, Dec. 2. A special dispatch from West Point, N. Y., published in the New York World last Sunday and in the final edition of the book, "The Treatment accorded Alonzo S.

The jury deliberated 13½ hours and brought in a verdict of guilty. Sentenced to Ohio Pen. Fleming was convicted, Feb. 8, and sentenced by Judge McBride, Feb. 13, to the Ohio penitentiary. Atty. Alex. H. Martin. George W. Spooner and Selmo P. Glenn, his counsel, appealed, and Fleming was released under $10,000 bond, after a futile plea to the court that the case be referred to the probation department for parole. A near scandal resulted in June, when Judge Roscoe G. Hornbeck of London, O., of the Appellate Court, there, to which Fleming's appeal was referred, asked that the case be transferred because he had been approached by the "outsider" interested in Fleming. His request was granted and Fleming's appeal was heard, June 18, and denied. Spooner, assisted by Atty. Alex H. Martin, asked the Supreme Court to review the case. pointed to the military academy in May. Due to a misunderstanding on the part of a World copy editor and through no fault of the correspondent at West Point, the headline and introductory paragraphs preceding the dispatch made it appear that it was a statement sent to the World by an officer of the military academy.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1929. Regardless of all the boasting of inter-racial committees and others in that section there has been very little change, if indeed any, in the South, as far as our people are concerned, in the last quarter of a century. See Norfolk and Jacksonville letters elsewhere in this paper. The Rev, Henry P. Jones, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, said, Sunday morning, in his sermon that more of our people should read "The Old Reliable" Gazette and know what was going on. Dr. Jones had been commenting most favorably on the Dr. A. Clayton Powell article which appeared on the first page of The Gazette, last week. Thank you, Dr. Jones. When Editor Murphy of the Baltimore Afro-American and Editor George Knox of the Indianapolis Freeman passed out, several years ago, there were but a very few of us "oldtime" editors of color left, and Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond Planet was one of them. Now he has gone, after doing a wonderful work for our people for so many many years just as did Murphy and Knox when in life. Some day they will be properly appreciated, we hope. --- It took the recent stock-market crash in New York City to convince "Wall St." that city, that the alleged prosperity, it had its representatives throut the country preaching for several years, was only a myth and that something far more material than the mythical "Coolidge Good Times' of the last five years had to be given the country, and mighty soon, too. This explains the President's activity of the last three weeks, the good effect of which the country is hopeful of feeling at least by next summer. Our advice to Congressman Oscar DePriest is to say nothing, in his speeches to our people in different sections of the country, about the mythical "social equality" unless he can take the proper position. The Afro-American needs, to progress properly in this or any other country, ALL other groups, classes or races need to properly progress, including of course the mythical "social equality". Don't pander to the fool prejudices of the South and its allies in this section of the country, Mr. DePriest, as you are charged with doing at Buffalo, recently. "Color-line" Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom Monday was delving into a resolution introduced, two weeks ago, by Councilman F. W. Walz asking equal privileges for nurses and internes of all races at City hospital. Blossom, Monday night, promised Councilman Russell S. Brown he would affix his opinion to the measure by next week. It is hardly necessary, however, for every one knows how prejudiced Blossom has shown himself to be ever since he has been welfare director. Another reason why "Color-Line" City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins will have to "walk the plank" as soon after the first of the year as possible. The committee on reception, banquet or mass meeting in honor of our successful candidates at the recent election is, according to current rumor, "up in the air." That is, it seems unable to decide which to hold. Meantime, another committee has taken up the matter with a view to honoring Mrs. Martin, Messrs. George, Wayne and Bundy in a mass meeting which is decidedly the best way, as surveyed in The Gazette, several weeks ago. So many of our people, who worked hard for them during the campaign and for weeks and months prior to it, are not able to purchase banquet tickets or to dress properly for a formal reception. Then, so the meeting ought to be held in a centrally located hall rather than a church, for reasons obvious. THE FLEMING CASE. The belated decision of the State Supreme Court, to review the bribery case of Ex-Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, does not surprise us because of the more than a month's delay in reaching this conclusion and the fact that all other cases, pending when it was filed, were disposed of by that august body prior to several weeks ago. This was what encouraged us to believe that the Fleming plea for review would be granted. Whether the State Supreme Court's consideration of the case will result in a new trial, or anything else favorable to Fleming, remains to be seen, of course. However, its consent to review the case is at least encouraging. Tom still stoutly maintains his innocence. Whether he is innocent or guilty, Walter Oehme, the alleged victim, was not materially harmed by what he claims Tom did to him as well as for him. Therefore, there is a widespread feeling among the citizens of all classes in this community that Fleming has already been sufficiently punished, and it is sincerely hoped that the Ohio Supreme Court will find in its careful review of the case enough to warrant giving him a new trial, if indeed it does not give him his freedom from further prosecution which many feel would really amount to persecution. MORE BAD TIMES AHEAD? While the Wall Street crash of itself did not directly measure or directly effect the industrial productivity of America in a rough and ready way such a crash is usually something of a barometer to indicate rainy days ahead. More significant signs are the great decrease of building contracts and the laying off of thousands of men in the automobile and steel industries. The textile mills of North and South Carolina which have been almost killing their workers by twelve hour day and night shifts are now reported to be preparing almost to kill them with unemployment. In South Carolina the employers are planning a four day week — at the employees' expense, of course. And there is no unemployment insurance to mitigate the suffering! In Detroit at the very time Henry Ford was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on his Edison celebration he laid off, it is reported, 30,000 workers in his plants. Even more have since been laid off—at least temporarily. They won't be helped by his raise in wages!

In the third quarter, Moore passed to Fowler for 32 yards, and the reed for 21 yards, and the rest of the distance to the goal line unimpeded. Wilberforce's line allowed the W.

An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.). Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, may be momentarily or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made (see Section 6211. 4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if the manent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover from the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receives, the same amount as a child share if they be widowed or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action against such person, who is killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for coun- tise the game there was doubtless the cause of this, it is said.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BS. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must another county. sel fees in the action for such recovery. ($3 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 62) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating House, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race accommodations will enjoyment of the accommodations, amenities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme Court. The trouble is our people must not use it as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

Wilson, 1410 W 9th St, Chester, Cpena, says; "The agony I suffered with neuritis was terrible. My left arm and fingers would swell up so that I lost the use of the arm. My liver was inactive and kidneys were weak and this condition forced me to arise several times during the night, thereby breaking my rest. After eating, my stomach A. E. would sour and gas would form and I would belch for hours and often would have spells of vomiting. I was troubled with constipation since childhood and always had to take pills of some kind for this condition. My nerves were bad, too, and I sure did feel miserable. The very first bottle of Bon-Tone made my stomach feel better and after the second bottle I regained the use of my arm and the swelling all left. Now, I sleep the whole night through—my kidneys are O. K. and cause me no trouble. I can eat anything I want and I can eat almost all of my anykind—my nerves are steady and constipation is but a memory. I feel like a queen and everyone who suffers as I did should certainly give Bon-Tone a good trial and I feel sure they will get the same wonderful results that I did." Bon-Tone is not an experiment but a tried and true product. With every dose of Bon-Tone you take, your system is deriving the benefit of 14 of Mother Nature's roots, leaves, barks and berries. There is nothing in Bon-Tone that will upset or injure the most delicate system. Bon-Tone assists nature in the proper functioning of your vital organs and with these working as they should, you feel just wonderful. Medical men have used the herbs contained in Bon-Tone, in their practice for hundreds and hundreds of years. DONT YEARN FOR GOOD HEALTH—TAKE BON-TONE AND HAVE IT!

Y. — The entire corps of cadets marched to the stadium from the parade ground twenty minutes before the Army kicked off to Ohio Wesleyan. Several hours later the score was 19-6 in favor of the cadets. The corps was led by the army, and eighty pieces. They had through a tight column each step with concurrent cadence, 1200 men as a unit, Cadet Alonzo S. Parham, left guide of his company, added color to this spectacular scene—full dressed, straight as an arrow and a grim determination in his general aspect, marked him as a sticker. During the game, Parham participated in the yells, songs and whispers, and applauded all rumors of homeschiness. He has apparently overcome his nostalgia, if it ever existed.

The Gilpin Players are playing an interesting old play at the Karamu theater, this week, continuing it through Sunday evening. It is "The Drunkard; or the Fallen Saved," which might be described as a tempest in play. It was produced in New York by the great P. T.

The play is being given in the old-time manner; but as nobody drinks nowadays, there will be no invitation to sign the pledge.

George W. Spooner, his chief counsel for the court, at his hearing, could be reached for a statement. Tuesday, Alex, H. Martin, now associate counsel, with Spooner represented Fleming before the Supreme Court, said: "That's good news. We'll be prepared to argue the case and I'm confident of the result". Spooner said he would ask the court to reverse the conviction on the ground that there was manifest error in the judge's charge, that the court had not made obligations relating to one ordinance, while the testimony concerned another ordinance, and that testimony was permitted to go into the record about a conversation that was not held in the presence of the accused.

"Fifty Dollars a Head." Jacksonville, Fla. — That Afro-Americans are being sold into slavery as openly today as in the days before the Civil War, has been confirmed by independent investigations carried on at the same time by a representative of the New York World and St. Pauls Post-Dispatch, the local branch of the Afro-American Labor Congress. And slavery is legalized now, as then, by the courts of the white ruling class, the only essential difference being that in the period before the Civil War, a young worker brought as high as a thousand dollars, while today he may be obtained for the mere pittance of fifty dollars.

ISN'T A ONE - BUT NES ALL HT Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It HOW elegant the mode! Rich fabrics, fine furs, sophisticated styling, thus fashion turns from flapperism to formalism. One cannot dress carelessly and "make the grade" this season. To answer to the call of the mode each costume must be "thought through" down to the slightest detail. Gone are the carefree days, when one might non-chalantily saunter through a department and "lick up PARIS ACCLAIMS THE CHIC OF ALL-BLACK FOR DAYTIME WEAR M. A. A. at a bargain" a mere slip of a thing, lengthless, lengthless and waistless, and call it a dress or a frock. The trend now is toward that 'imposing dignity and quality-kind which expresses itself through the best of everything which money can buy. The handsome costume in the picture typifies the new style movement which so insistently calls for handsome vellets, flattering furs and a studied finesse which bespeaks ladylikeness down to the minutest detail. This exquisite afternoon mode is of dark brown chiffon velvet, showing a shredded side trimming and a lovely lingerie collar and cuff set. A close-fitting soilel hat, luxurious furs and suede shoes complete this modish "study in brown." More velvet conscious than ever are they that dwell in fashionland this season. Velvet for coats, velvet for suits, velvet for ensembles, is the cry PARIS ACCLAIMS THE ALL-BLACK FO PARIS-modes have gone black, very, very black. Which means that the vogue calls for black frock, black coat, black hat, shoes, gloves and purse. The picture shows one of the very latest coats. It is made of broadcloth which has a glossy surface and is genuously furred with elegant black lynx. The close-fitting brown-revealing hat is black felt. The shoes are black kid in a one-strap street model and the pocketbook is made out of corresponding dull-surfaced black kid. The hosiery is light gun metal. Study this ensemble detail by detail, for it stands for consummate chic, in the world of fashion. In adopting the dip-to-the-back hemline coats have followed the precedent set by afternoon frocks. For a coat to have a longer to the back hemline is unmistakable evidence that it is of last-minute styling. In fact hemlines are a very important factor in coat styling this season. It may not be too extreme to say that a coat is known by its hemline. That is, if the salesperson brings forth a coat Don't T But Give it of the hour. Of course hand in hand with the fouls, go furs. So there you have it, the modes most outstanding trend when it comes to formal and dressy costume, summed up in two words—velvet and fur. The latest in Paris is the velvet ensemble in two colors, that is the skirt is of one velvet, the jacket of another. Such, for instance, is a costume which poses one of the new draped-about-the-hips jacketts of red velvet over a dipping-at-the-back skirt of black velvet. Along this line of thought is a stunning green ensemble, the skirt in a very dark tone, the jacket in a slightly lighter shade. The new velvet shades are adorable. The raisin tones, blueberry hues, fuschia colorings, wondrous greens, browns most radiant are carrying on a merry warfare with black, and in this case each is victor. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929, Western Newspaper, Union.) THE CHIC OF DR DAYTIME WEAR whose hemline is much longer at the back, rest assured that this same is none other than a model of smartest new lines. The same may be said of the three-quarter length coat which is so frequently heavily bordered with fur, the same very often outlining rounded corners at the front opening. The vogue for coats much shorter than the frock is not confined to evening wear, but is gaining favor in the daytime mode. In fact coat lengths are almost any depth one chooses, from fingertip to full length. Then, too, not only do coat hemlines accent flares, but they also place emphasis on slenderizing wrap-a-round effects. In event of the latter, the hemline swings around at the front, describing a curve of upward tendency which joins a diagonal front opening. As to the wide use of black fur on black broadcloth, velvet or broadtail cloth, stylists show no partiality to type, employing the long-haired pelts as frequently as the flat types and vice versa.

The car is of the midget type with an 86-inch wheelbase and a tread of 46 inches. It has a reputed speed of 60 miles an hour and will do 35 miles on a gallon of gas. Brauks claims that the auto can be profitably manufactured and distributed for $375. Photograph shows George S. Brauks with his midget car. GASOLINE LEVY IS DEDUCTIBLE GASOLINE LEVY IS DEDUCTIBLE Tax in Various States Yields Total of $375,000,000. The gasoline tax is deductible in filing income tax returns where the language of the state law specifically lists it as a tax on the consumer, according to a bulletin issued by the legal department of the Chicago Motor club. The bulletin pointed out that it is clear that the consumer always pays the tax, regardless of the wording of the law; therefore, the consumer should be allowed a deduction in all instances. Interpretation of Law. "However," continued the bulletin, "the bureau has put a strict interpretation or the state gasoline tax laws in the rulings already made. Consequently, in states where the bureau rules that the gasoline tax applies to the dealer, the only remedy remaining for those states is to amend and clarify the state gasoline tax laws so that the language of the act specifically levies the gas tax on the consumer, "The gasoline tax in force in the various states this year will yield a total of approximately $375,000,000, which, if construed as a tax on the consumer in the various states, would amount to a considerable saving to the motoring public. Tax Deductible. J. H. Braun, general counsel for the club, declared that the bureau of internal revenue has already ruled that the gas tax is deductible under an interpretation of the laws of Delaware, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina and Virginia. On the other hand, if the tax is added to or made a part of the business expense of the owner of such motor vehicles, it cannot be deducted separately as a tax. The motor club attorney asserted that decisions have also been rendered by the bureau with respect to the states of Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland and Ohio, holding that under its interpretation of the gasoline laws of these states, the tax is levied against the dealer, and therefore is not deductible by the consumer in filing his income tax returns. Proper Care Will Make Tires Last Much Longer Tires, among the most neglected of all motor-car essentials, can be made to render remarkably greater efficiency with improved economy, by systematic and intelligent care. This point, often emphasized by tire engineers, has been conclusively proved in a year's test, results of which have been computed. On a metropolitan bus fleet selected for the test, a saving of 448 bus tires with a total of 7,213,706 tire miles, at an average of 26,947 miles to the tire, was affected, according to the data available. Under the care of an expert tire man the tire mileage of this entire fleet is declared to have been increased 67 per cent in one year and records for the first three months of this year show an increase of 96 per cent over 1926. The tire expert took charge of tire inspection and tire care at the beginning of 1927, it was explained. AUTOMOBILE FACTS A front-wheel drive is being put on the market by an Indiana car manufacturer. Combining this with the back-seat drive will give it niceance. It is estimated if all the automobiles in the world were placed end to end, some hot dog stands wouldn't do any business in their present locations. A tourist back from abroad says you have to speak very distinctly to traffic officers on the Continent. Many of them do not understand broken English. Few Simple Traffic Rules Believing that the careful observation of a few simple traffic rules will materially help in making travel safer on the highways the United States National Chamber of Commerce has prepared the following recommendations for drivers of automobiles: 1. Always remember you are an engineer, fully responsible. 2. Always test your brakes when starting and have them inspected frequently. 3. Never pass a street car when it is stopping, or if the law permits, proceed very slowly past it at the legal distance. 4. Exercise especial care in crossing in front of a street car or in passing it, as you cannot tell what may be coming on the other side. 5. Always signal with hand when slowing down, turning or stopping, even though you have an automatic or mechanical warning device. 6. Look before you back and sound the horn three times. 7. Try to drive with using the horn as little as possible. A sudden noise may stop pedestrians in their tracks rather than warning them. 8. Don't count too much on the common sense of the other fellow. No one is 100 per cent alert all the time. 9. Drive slowly in streets where children are playing. Remember your own childhood. 10. Cross crossings cautiously. Warning bells may be out of order, watchmen or gate operators may be off duty. Trains cannot stop as quickly as you can. Shift into second to avoid stalling on tracks. Youngest Executive in Automotive industry Harlow H. Curtice, who has just been appointed president and general manager of the AC Spark Plug company of the AC Mich., is one of the most important, if not the youngest, major chief executives in the automobile industry. Mr. Curtice is thirty-six years old. Starting in the accounting department 16 years ago, he successively occu ```markdown ``` Harlow H. Curtice. pled the positions of comptroller, assistant manager, and vice president and assistant general manager. He is head of one of the largest automobile accessory companies in the world with branch factories in France and England and employing 5,000 persons. The products made by these plants are estimated to be in use on 20,000,000 automobiles today. Mr. Curtice succeeds Basil W. de Gulchard, one of the pleneers in the industry, who resigned because of ill health. Shock for Men Here's a shock for men drivers! A recent survey conducted in 30 states showed that only 5 per cent of all accidents were due to women driving cars. It was also found that on an average more women drivers bring in their cars at regular intervals for mechanical checkup which includes brake inspection. This, it is held, practically eliminated mishaps to the failure of a vital part of their cars. Brakes are often overlooked. YOUR TELEPHONE OFFERS YOU GREATER SERVICE GREATER SERVICE "I OWE IT ALL TO HI-JA" THE Ohio Bell Telephone Company now has more than 700,000 telephones in service. This is an increase of more than 225,000 telephones since our company was organized just eight years ago. On August 1, 1924, when the present Cleveland rates became effective, our subscribers here could talk to 168,000 other local telephones. They now can talk to 248,000 other Cleveland telephones, 80,000 more. Not only has the scope of the service grown but the transmission has been improved so that you hear more clearly and calls are handled with MUSEUM OF ART MUSEUM OF ART greater speed and accuracy. Telephones are put in usually on the date you fix, and service troubles, which are becoming fewer, are corrected with greater promptness. Most out-of-town calls go through while you hold the line. Further improvement and expansion of the service in Cleveland will require an expenditure of more than $60,000,000 during the five years from 1930 to 1934, inclusive. This is in line with our policy of giving the best possible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. ephone Company LL TO HI-JA I-JA' Miss Gladys Robinson, Stage Star ```markdown ``` col. 101.
