BushvUle was grieved today over the tragedy that resulted fatally Tuesday night for Walter Garrison, a police officer, who, without warning was shot to death by a youth, who later confessed to a long record of crimes. The police officer was an outstanding member of the force. He was regarded as a most capable officer and although he had been on the department only thirteen months, he earned a reputation of being fearless and always on the job as a police officer should be. Probably he was too fearless. No officer should approach any car without being prepared for a battle, not knowing the circumstances.

Officers should -always have weapons within quick reach. This officer Garrison did have, but he failed to approach the car with his revolver drawn. Officer Garrison took pride in his appearance. He was always neat, well dressed, and gentlemanly The entire city is shocked and grieved over his loss, but there is a feeling of satisfaction- to know that his slayer has been captured. In a cold blooded murder of this kind, the slayer deserves the limit.

Society will demand that the receive his just dues. A bullet proof vest, which should be worn by all officers, would have saved his life. Future tragedies should be averted. Money used for I such protection will be well spent. A life is worth jmore than the price required for such protection.

i The city council will name a successor to the patrolman, but it will be a hard task If or them to name one who can measure up to the standards of Officer Garrison. THE TAX ON GASOLINE At least once in every year the gasoline tax comes up for extended discussion, with violent attacks and spirited defenses sharing a good deal ol space in the public prints. Since this is a tax that comes close home to nearly everyone, this is no wonder; "and a new controversy on the matter seems to be brewing right now. Some statistician has figured that the average American motorist pays fully $18 a year in gasoline taxes. That in itself would not be so bad if the figure would only remain stationary.

But it never does. Gasoline taxes are only revised in one direction upwards. Probably a great majority of ail state legislatures this winter will debate an increase in this tax, and in many of them an increase undoubtedly will be adopted. The collection of the tax is painless enough; but the size of it is rather awesome. In Ohio, for example (a fair sample ol average conditions in America), the tax is four rents a gallon.

This, when you examine it, is revealed as a tax of 25 per cent of the retail price of the commodity. Apply such a tax to any other article of daily public consumption and you would get a terrific storm of protest. The chief reason why there is so little discontent probably lies in the fact-that revenues from gasoline taxes go to build roads. Every motorist wants hisjstate lined with good roads, and he is usually quick to see the fairness of a tax which builds these roads at the expense of the people who use them. But there and there one can find signs of a change.

In a few states has been taken from the gasoline tax revenues to meet other state obligations. If that procedure should be widely adopted, the gasoline tax would beyond question become extremely unpopular. Even though he has to pay $18 a year, the ordinary motorist will not object greatly so long as the money goes for good roads. But once he finds that money being drained off to help support other departments of the state government, the motorist is sure to put up a loud protest. And he would be amply justified doing so.

THE COMMUNITY'S BACKBONE The business men of Kushvffle are the backbone of the community. They are in any community because it is they that make the community substantial and firm. The term backbone is not used advisedly. It is used with the full understanding of its meaning. The backbone is a column of bones in the back of the body that sustains and gives firmness to the frame.

Hence, the term has come firmness, moral principle and steadfastness. Back of every movement for good, for development for progress and advancement are the home-town merchants, and often they stand alone while others fold their hands and look on complacently. When there is a chautauqua, a fall festival, a farmers' exhibit, an agricultural club for boys and girls, or whatnot, the business man is always the first one appealed to and he is the one who generally bears the financial load. Every enterprise of church and school is backed by the merchant. He does his share along with all the other residents of the community in supporting public improvements and paying he pays a large per cent of the taxes-in addition to fostering every public spirited movement that is initiated.

Some do not give the home-town merchant the credit he deserves. He is entitled to more than the retailer elsewhere, or the mail -order house, because he is the backbone of the community, the central force that holds the community together. Of course, he is in business, for profit. He must have a legitimate profit to live. None should deny him that.

And the truth of the matter is, local merchants sell goods at, or less than city prices, and if we will be fair enough to admit that it costs money to go to the city-the expense of car or bus fare, gasoline and wer on the automobile time spent and shoe leather worn is cheaper to trade at home, to say nothing of the spirit of reciprocity that should' be shown by every loyal home-town citizen.
