Nebraska Auto Drivers Escape Motorist* Pay Lena Than in Other State*, Property Owner* Pay More. By r. c. POWEIX Washington ( nrrnpnndrnt Tha Omaha Ilea. Washington, March 17.—Statistic* compiled by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture ahow clearly that Nebraska motorists do not pay as much for good roads a* motorists In other state*, and the burden of good road building is much heavier on the alioulder* of property owners In Ne braska than In most other states. This 1* clearly contradictory to the doctrine of Nebraska’s governor, Charles W. Bryan, who during his last campaign proposed to cut auto license taxes one-half. He attempted to put such a; bill through the lait legislature. Government statistic* show that the total revenue from registration fees,- licenses and permits in Ne braska sizes up fairly even with simi lar sources of automobile revenue in other states. However, the same sta tistical report shows that while Ne braska turned down a gasoline tax proposed by a former governor at a special session two years ago, other states are adopting It rapidly. At the present time there are 35 states which have a gasoline tax used to augment payment for road work by the road users, the automohillsts. Revenue Will Increase. "In 35 states a gasoline tax rang ing from 1 to 4 cents per gallon is Imposed" the departmental report reads. "Revenue from this source, amounting to *36.300,000, is spent very largely for highway, purposes. ^ This revenue will he materially In creased In 1924 since in many states such taxes have been in effect only a few months.” The report further shows the few states besides Nebraska which, as yet, have not adopted a gasoline tax as a means of producing good road revenue. They are: District of Co lumbia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Massa chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis souri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. According to the report, there is a total registration of 286,053 motor trucks and cars in Nebraska from which a road revenue of *3,353, 1T5.S2 Is derived. Receipts In Other States. Oregon, with 165,962 oars, regis tered, derives a revenue from li censes, permits and registrations amounting to *4,069,609.40, with an additional revenue from a gasoline tax aggregating *1,954,141.37 annu ally. North Carolina, with a registration of 246,812 motor cars and trucks, has a license revenue of *3,728,044.72 and a gasoline tax revenue of |J,I0*, 904.74. Arirgln!a, with 218,896 registrations has a license revenue of *3.200.161.66 and a gasoline tax revenue of *1,556, 920.93. Washington, with 258,264 registra tions. has a license revenue of *3,898, 597.77 and a gasoline tax* revenue of *1,225.149.66. The total auto license revenue in the United States is *188.970,992.24, while revenue from gasoline taxes in the 35 states where it is imposed is *38,313,939.61. By Associated Press.

Inc. s Coolidge Explains Lang Incident Debate Stirred Up in Senate Over Curt Dismissal of Passion Players. Washington, March 17.—President Coolidge's action In cutting short Saturday, a program of addresses at his reception to the Oberammergau Passion players brought an explana tion from the White House today and stirred up a debate in the senate. In a letter to Anton Dang, the "Christus'* of the players, Mr. Cool idge expressed pleasure that the visi tors had come to the White House and Ret forth that the only reason for the incident was the fact that It is not permissible for the president to receive public addresses from people of other nations except through diplo matic channels. The incident was taken up In the senate by Senator Dill, democrat of Washington, who said he regretted that the president "had nof a broader and more humane view of the dele gation's plea in behalf of suffering German children.” President C'oolidge told the players In his letter that he wished to cor rect a "possible Wrong impression” in regard to the incident, and reiterated his pleasure at seeing them; his ap preciation of their worlr and his hope for (tie success of their visit to Ameri ca. Injection Into the visit by Dudwlg Nissen, spokesman for the players, of what White House officials described as "political discussions” was followed by the cutting short of other ad dresses. "The president probably was tech nically correct," Senator Dill said in addressing the senate, "hut I think a much better way would have been to give a few minutes to the men who', In the eyes of the world, embody the Christ Idea and at the end to have told him that the matter he brought up was a departmental matter, and while the president sympathized heartily he would he unable to Initiate action. It Is to he regretted that he took such a hard, practical view of the situa tion.” James T. Lee Dies. James T. Lee, 63, resident of Omaha for 30 years, died Sunday at his home, 3108 Ohio street.

Ninety Per Cent of All Perjury in Court Occurs in Trials for Divorce, Judge Tells Ministers "Ninety per rent of all the perjury In courts takes place in the court of domestic relations,” declared Judge L. B. Day Monday morning in a talk be fore the Omaha Ministerial union at the Y. M. C. A. "You can do business with these people and they will be honest but all the bars are let down when they are In divorce court. "Their training for truth-telling means nothing when they seek divorces.

"The domestic relations court Is only a marital safety valve," con tinued the Judge. "Wf must have uni form divorce laws In the slslea to ac eeer.pllsh anything. Twenty-five per eent of divorces granted in Douglas eoiinty sra to couples who have run away to another state to marry, it Is not only the divorce evil that Is to he deplored; It Is the fact that ap proximately 1,000 homes are broken tip and 2,000 children are left adrift each year.
