"LOVE AND GLORY" COMES TO UNITED Many a fine film play has been made mediocre by poor photography and likewise few films that carry only half-hearted story or peal have been saved by high pictorial standard. "Love and Glory," Rupert Julian production coming Tuesday and Wednesday to the United theatre, is a delightful combination of excellent story, pictorial beauty and dramatic strength, features which mark it as one of the outstanding photoplays of the season. It is a story of war and romance, woven around the period of 1870, just previous to and including the invasion of France by the Germans. Part of the story is centered around an Algerian campaign.

While in school he was especially interested in the manual training department, where he manifested unusual ingenuity and skill. "I cannot say and I will not say That he is dead—he is just way!

THE GASOLINE TAX In response to a telegram from the Legislative Committee of the State Supervisors Association, requesting, in the name of all boards of supervisors, that the Standard Oil Company withdraw its opposition to an increase in gasoline taxation, K. R. Kingsbury, President of the Standard Oil Company, sent the following telegram: “There has been so much misrepresentation of the attitude of this Company toward proposals to increase gasoline taxation that we are very glad of this opportunity explicitly to state to you and your associates and the organization represented, our policy and our activity in this matter. “This Company is and always has been a supporter of good roads and in the present situation is not-in opposition to the expansion of California’s highway system, but only to the proposed method of raising the additional funds said to "There has been so much misrepresentation of the attitude of this Company toward proposals to increase gasoline taxation that we are very glad of this opportunity explicitly to state to you and your associates and the organization represented, our policy and our activity in this matter. "This Company is and always has been a supporter of good roads and in the present situation is not in opposition to the expansion of California's highway system, but only to the proposed method of raising the additional funds said to be necessary. "We are opposed to any increased taxation of gasoline as a matter of principle. The tax is virtually a sales tax on a product which we sell. The three-cent tax would be a tax of twenty per cent on the wholesale price of gasoline in San Francisco. There is no marketer of any commodity who would not object to a twenty per cent sales tax on his product. "Believing the tax to be wrong in principle and unfair to our business, this Company some months ago announced its opposition and with all possible candor stated its position as clearly as it knew how—frankly, publicly and openly. "In its examination of the situation the Company, from its long experience and study of probable future consumption of gasoline, estimated that revenues under present motor taxation laws would yield the sums said to be required for roads, and these facts were made public, not only as an argument against further taxation, but also because good citizenship demands that anyone in possession of important facts regarding a public question should set them forth. "This Company's activity has not been confined to California. With equal frankness it announced its opposition in Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona where new gasoline taxation has been agitated, as did numerous other interests. The legislatures in these States have adjourned without action except in Nevada. "Your telegram states that the Company's opposition is so resented that the result will react against it. It is impossible to believe that any company operating in the State of California will, because it ventures frankly to express its opinion of a public proposal which it believes inimical to its welfare, suffer in official or public esteem, which we are pleased to believe this Company enjoys to a marked degree. We believe our position to be so right and sound from an economic or any other point of view, that we can not renounce it as you request." STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California)
