...know, some States, particularly in the West, require all commercial vehicles from out-of-state to register and pay a fee to cross the State. Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, etc. all have control stations at the State line with State officers on duty. All commercial vehicles are assessed according to weight and type of vehicle. These fees are reasonable and I have heard no complaints from other salesmen about these States. Mississippi, however, is operating a vicious racket which is taking thousands of dollars a year from salesmen. And I mean the salesmen, not the companies they work...

But there is no momentary measure that is really satisfactory in all respects. A compulsory ten dollar athletic fee for all undergraduates, for instance, has been given much thought, and has been supported as a satisfactory method of getting all undergraduates to contribute to the upkeep of the athletic equipment. Objection to the proposal rests on the ground that it is unfair to tax a disinterested minority for opportunities which they...
...Speed" Morgan was accused of plying Barbara Page with liquor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Guest Elwood Jackson, 19, went a step further by taking Barbara across the Mexican border to Tiajuana, where they would have been married if he had been able to raise the $25 fee. Elwood Jackson and two other youths were held on charges of assault. Several of the 40 thoroughly scared participants rounded up at week's end admitted that they used not only the Culver City house but nearby cabins and beaches...
