Prof. Jens Jensen Advocates Tax on Gasoline in Talk
Many States Tax Motorist for Use of Highways;
States Reasons to Hearers
"A gasoline tax as a means of raising revenue for the construction and maintenance of highways has been adopted," Ms. D. Jensen, professor of economics in the University of Kansas, in a speech last night, urging lawmakers to raise the Kansas City Star.
According to the latest report available, the people of America spend $103,007,000 a year—$10 per capita, for road construction and maintenance and for interest on bonds. Gasoline taxation have applied in recent years, in 1923 published about four per cent of this sum.
Many States Have Tax
Many States Have TEXAS
Thirty-six states now have gasoline
supply. These include Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska, and Iowa, in the Middle West.
The reasons given for the gasoline tax by Professor Jeremy Jenkins are that consumption tends to correspond to the heavier wear occasioned by the heavier cars; consumption tends to increase with speed and consequent wear on tires; and consumption means of collecting from the tourist a tax for his use of the roads. A gasoline tax is easy to administer. There are comparatively few taxes on gasoline but many pays in small amounts with the purchase of his gasoline.
"Not a Crime to Own Car"
To his own question of how much the motorist should pay, Professor Jensen replied by saying, "Certainly not the entire cost of the roads. It is no crime to own an automobile, and the motorist should not be penalized."
"It would seem though, to expect the motorist to pay enough in linemes and gasoline tax to maintain the states automobile department and to build and maintain the highly improved roads which are constructed for and worn out by automobile and trucks," he said in conclusion.

Campus Lawns to Be Reseeded
With the coming of spring and new grass many bare spots are being dressed up. It was estimated that it will take 150 pounds of grass seed to cover all the bare spots and the new lawns in front of the Administration building. The seed that was planted in fall was all blown away or washed out by the heavy rain falls, so it necessitates the reseeding of all the lawn surrounding the Administration building.

"Crow Hunting" New Fad in Sport World
Crow hunting is the new "sport" de-veloped by Bigler, who was recognized in a recent issue of a sporting magazine as the originator of the re
His method of hunting is shorter to that employed by duck hunters. "After shooting a number of birds, take some heavy wire and steep them up in the snow," he said. The blind is better constructed than those used for duck
hunting and have it located close to the roost of your crowds.
"When you pop up the crows this way you use a crow call. You can fasten dead birds to posts also and they will attract the bird. They can owl or hawk with its wings wired open in life-like manner.
"Operate them with a string from blind. Still another way is to stake a wing crippled crow with his back to the ground in front of the blind. You will need no calls with this method."
Not only is a sport created by crow
hunting, said Bigher, but also in most
localities a bounty is paid on dead
bees, making the hunting reminative.
