Gasoline in Georgia has become, through legisla tive enactment, a magic fluid which not only motivates automobiles, but is to pave long highways, open new schools in remote country districts, and enrich the coffers of every county in the State. The Georgia Legislature, after several weeks' debate, enacted a six cent gasoline tax, effective imme diately. Its proponents claim that this tax will take the place of the defeated highway bond issue, and will give Georgia a unified system of paved roads without indebtedness. The whole burden Is placed upon the motorist, who heretofore has paid a four-cent gas tax, now increased by 50 per cent. Four cents of the G-cent tax will go to the State Highway Depart ment. The department's revenues are expected to be increased from $5,000,000 to about $10,000,000 in 1930. The highway board also gets about $4,000.00 from sales of license tags, and some $2,000,000 from the Federal Government. This total of $16,000,000 annually, the gas-tax advocates have claimed, is going to give the State as much highway money as would have been available with a bond issue. One cent of the new tax, or about $2,500,000. will go to the state school equalization fund. This fund is distributed among counties which are unable to keep their schools open for full nine-month terms, and is designed to equalize the educational facilities in those counties with the richer counties of the State. 7 COUNTIES ENTER AUDITION CONTEST Kearney.

Freight Rates on Salt into Nebraska Cut Cities of State Obtain More Equit able iDstribution of Tariff by I. C. C. Decision Lincoln, ,Aug. 27. Nebraska, through a decision by the interstate commerce commission, U. G. Powell, rate expert to the state railway commission, announced Tuesday is to have an appreciable reduction in freight tariffs on salt into the statt?. The revision, Mr. Powell ex plained, particularly lessens rates from Kansas to Nebraska, while the most marked change vitally affects a more equitable distribution of rates to Nebraska cities. Made Protest Appearing before the interstate commission, members of the Nebras ka commission recently entered a vigorous protest against existing rates and particularly a proposed in crease. The decision Tuesday was regarded as a decisive victory for the state. The disparity in the former schedule, Mr. Powell pointed out, was most evident in published rate3 to Denver, which were less than to points along the Burlington route through Nebraska, while rates to northwestern Nebraska were higher than those to the Pacific northwest. When the revised rates become effective, Mr. Powell stated, the changes will iron out some of the "humps." . Specific Examples Under the old system, the rate to Crete was IS. 5 cents, while to Dorchester, eight miles west of that city, the rate was 26.5 cents. The new rate to the latter city will be 20 cents per hundred pounds. Likewise the old rate to Grand Island was 26.5 cents, while to Ab bott, seven miles west, it was 33 cents. The division gives Abbott a 26-eent rate and Grand Island a 23.5-cent rate. "The change," Mr. Powell stated, "gives Nebraska the benefit of its georgraphical location, a point we contended for."
