Any way, each land owner is due to report to his tax lisetr the number of acres of each crop that he will probably grow in 1932. No, this is nothing new. It has been being done since 1918. Most counties are reporting these surveys i for pactically all of their farms, i This is probably news to non-farm owners. The Federal Farm Census was secured from farm operators (mostly tenants). Our county farm survey is asked of the owners. Which of these probably affords the best information'/. More than 200,000 farm owners made reports for each of 1929, 1930 and 1931. These showed acreages that are amazingly good. The cost of these surveys is extremely little due to the Commissioners using the tax listing machinery. While con siderable inconvenience is exper ienced by those "waiting'' to list their taxables, yet the need and val ue of this farm "inventory" is too great to the farming interests to be overlooked. Farmers should observe the fol lowing: ( 1 ) List your taxes early. (2) Be prepared to report each crop acreage and numbers of mature livestock. (3) Go prepared to "wait" your turn, if you go late in the day or on Saturdays. (4) Read our n?*xt week's issue for the reasons WHY these surveys are made. Easter Service At Methodist Church Friday, from 12 to 1 a special | service will be observed. A study of the utterances of our Lord made while he was on the cross. This was the most tragic hour in all history. Surely it will be good for us to Rath er at the church and wait a while. Sunday morning r.t 5:35 theVe will be observed an ecrly watch. This ought to be in our lives a privilege to go to the house ol Lord and worship in the early hours. At 11 A. M. Morning worship and sermon, by the pastoV. Subject, "New Light and" New Life". At 7. P. M. The choir will pre sent the Easter Cantatr.; ? THE SONG OF TRIUMPH" This musical will be a graphic pre sentation of the crucifixion, the cross watching the t omb, the resurrecion, and the song of triumph that has come to the Vaces. The public is cordially invited to all the^e services. o SERVICES AT THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH Services will be conducted at the Episcopal Church on Friday, April 1, at 7:00 P. M., the Rev. Mr. Duncan of Franklin, being the visiting divine. The public is cordially invited to come out and hear him. 81. State vs. Truman Cole Trial A. D. W. 85. State vs. Herman MeHaffey Trial C. C. W. 89.

Duffy ' The gaosoline tax was created on road usage as a means of obtaining the large funds needed to build con nected highways and surfaces that eliminate mud and give low cost motoring. Yet law makers have been giving increasing attention to using this tax for other purposes not at all connected with road building. During the year in which the gas oline tax has been in effect motor ists have pledged support to higher tax rates for they realize that the money expended by them in motor fuel taxes was being returned many times over by lower car operating costs, increased safety and comfort. Had they realized that some day law makers, taking advantage of theinr legislative power, would transfer these funds from the highway bud get to other purposes it is very doubtful if there would be a gaso line tax as it is known today. Whenever gasoline tax money is diverted to other purposes than for road construction it then becomes a special tax, or aluxury tax, and not a user tax. This abuse of the gaso line tax will in the end mean w-dei spread demand for reduction in the tax rate and even abolishment. It would be only a matter of time un til motorists registered strenuous objections against a special tax for j miscellaneous purposes, a tax which they themselves created and spon sored for road construction to the benefit of the nation. 1 Aside from the lack of ethics in gasoline tax diversion, there is a very important reason why this mon ey should be left in highway funds. Money spent for road building goes largely into pockets of workmen Thomas H. McDonald, chief of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads has calculated that $910 out of every $1,000 given for building concrete pavement goes to labor. In general from 75 to 90 per cent of the money spent in road cosstruction does the very important job of directly fur nishing people with a livelihood. Beyond that, the largest industry in the United States, the manufactur ing servicing of automobiles, is great ly dependent upon road activities. The automobile industry provides em ployment for 4,000,000 men direct ly and an additional million men are kept busvy supplying raw materials. The automobile industry furnishes omuloyment, then, for roughly one tenth of all "gainful" workers in the United States. It is conceded that the automobile industry will be a leader in the re turn of normal business. Clearly, in the face of the road improvement needed, a pick-up in the automobile industry will be gTeatly retarded through the curtailment of road con struction made necessary by the di version of gasoline tax money. Soil improvement is occupying the attention ol Rutherford County farmers this year. Thousands of pounds of lespedeza seed has been planted and considered farm land terraced.
