The defense was that the fatal wound was self inflicted while he was suffering from ill health.

"The policy of diverting gasoline tax revenues to other than highway uses can only lead to disaster if long Robert T.

Malone told the Lancaster Democratic Luncheon club Saturday noon. "Unjust in principle and Impractical in consequence, it threatens our pay-as-you-go road program and the imperatively needed modernizing of highways in the interest of safety. "There is an impression abroad that road building and financing is something new, for which the automobile alone is responsible, but a glance at colonial history will show that it has always been a general obligation on the people, with corresponding benefits in terms of general welfare. Nowadays the motorist pays nearly all the cost, and in addition contributes one cent per gallon of gasoline to the federal government for old age benefits. "It must be remembered that this payment was undertaken in very extenuating circumstances.

There is a definite prejudice in the public mind against new forms of taxation and new bureaus and commissions. The gasoline tax is easy and economical to collect under existing machinery. It has the further advantage that the revenue can be calculated in advance. This was important when quick action was necessary in order to get federal grants. I am frank to admit that most of us, in the same circumstances would have had added this one cent tax.

But we must recognize the danger of such a policy in the long run." Dr. John P. Senning of the university spoke on WPA sponsoring of acquiring data on accounting systems.
