COLLECTION OF TAX ON
GASOLINE INEXPENSIVE
LINCOLN The cheapness of col
lecting the, gasoline tax in the state of
Washington is one of it. best recom
mendations, Gov. Ixuis F. Hart, of
Washington declared in a letter to
Governor McKelvie.
"The tax here is proving the most
satisfactory in many ways of any tax
that is levied in the state," Governor
Hart wrote. "I have heard of no
objections from the tourists and auto
owners or dealers and am confident
that they do not really feel the pay
ment of a cent a gallon.
"In addition to this, a notable fea
ture is the small cost of collection.
In five months the state of Washing
ton has collected $410,000 with this
tax and has not expended to exceed
$500 in cost of collection."
Either willful misrepresentation or
lack of definite knowledge are re
sponsible for recent statements to the
effect that the special legislative ses
sion in Februrary will cost the state
$130,000 Governor McKelvie declares.
"At the most it can'.t cost more than
$15,000," he said, "as under the stat-1

The Lawyer!
In his downtown office, a lawyer, by the aid of his tele
phone, is quickly in touch with his clients.
The telephone enables a lawyer, as well as every business
and professional man, to 6it in his office and reach nearly every
residence or business house in this city or in distant places.
Without the telephone, many expensive and
tiresome personal trips and many slow-going let
