FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1926 MOB CLEARS UP DOUBTS ABOUT PROPOSED TAX Would Be Paid By Wholesal- ers, Me Says—Funds Would Be Used on the Roads Denial that the proposed two-cent gas tax will be paid by the retailer was made here today by I. J. Moe, member of the state highway com- mission, who originated the proposal to submit the bill to the voters. Moe also denied that money from the gasoline tax will be used to pay administration expensé of the state highway department. These are fix- ed by law, he pointed out, and the department is not. permitted to ex- ceed the appropriation made for it. “Section two of the gasoline tax) measure Recess rovides that the tax shall be paid by any person who sells gasoline from the original package,” Mee said. “Practical; this means gasoline in carloads as very little brought into this state in barrels, bottles or cans. Of course gasoline often is sold by the batrel to the consumer but these barrels are usually filled from a tank car or from a gas tank and, therefore, neither the consumer nor retailer need worry about whether he must pay the tax.

As @ practical matter it is safe to-pre- dict that the wholesalers and jobbers, that is the oil companies, will pay the tax just ag they do under the present law, and pass the tax on to the tonsumer as at present. Re- tailers certainly will not be called on to pay the tax, nor will an army of tax collectors be needed. “Because refunds are where it is necessary to use gasoline for farm purpqses or purposes other than automobile propulsion, it may be necessary to add a clerk or two to the payroll of the collecting and refunding office, which is the state auditor's office. This is not a new or untried law. South Dakota has ho an identical law for they report that two clerks handle all the refund work. If it were not tor the retund feature, which is but fair to the farmer, the proposed law would not cost any more to operate than the present law. Will Not Increase Expenses “It is claimed by some that the law will result in increased expenses ior operating the state highway de- partment. This is not true. The state highway commission is limited to $150,000 by law to defray the ex- penses of the office of the registrar of motor vehicles, including the pur- chase of auto license tags and the administration of the state highway department proper. The latter de- partment is getting along on about $90,000 a year and cannot get a penny more from the two-cent gas measure than it is now allowed by law. Every penny over and above the Rares appropriated by the law must go into construction or highway highway maintenance. Hence, as the state highway commission cannot increase; carry the news to Bozeman and rush| this appropriation, those who affect to believe it will give the commission money for general administrative purposes are laboring under a wrong impression. “Unless the people vote for this gas tax we shall not be able to build the roads they are demanding be- cause the highway department now has mofe requests for improvefients than it can meet for another year or more unless additional revenue is provided? . South Wales Women Hold to Old World Motherhood Methods June 24—(#)—Mining dustries have not sparat- ed mothers in South Wales fron their old-world methods of mothering. Mother and agit share the same plaid shawl they did generations ago. The shawl is the emblem of maternity in this area and hardly a woman of marriageable age but shelters a baby with it. Her left hand clutches it firmly half a day at a-time, while her right is busy with household tasks. In this nest on its mother’s left arm the baby sleeps, eats or looks out cheerfully on the world. It takes the place of the perambulator and go-cart. Little girls begin their mothering careers as ioon ae sibey. ace aile to ate": under the burden of plump h babies. World Testimonial For Bee Scientists Medina, O., June 26—()—Beekoep- ers will gather here Sept. 21-23 in a*memorial of two Ohioans who have done much for the bee industry. They are A. I, Root, who developed the commercial side, and the Rev. L. L. Langstroth, who made possible many methods of modern practice in apiculture. F. B. Moore, president of the Ohio ers association, said these noted figures in the bee world would attend: Don Juan Barriga, Chile; Herr Justrich and Dr. Morgenthaler, Switzerland; G. A. Rosch, Germany; Yasua Heratsuka, Japan; A. ¥. Acosta y Lara, Uruguay; Tarlton Rayment, Australia, and Philip J. Baldensperger and. Dr. Zandir, France. Many American states plan motor caravans.

Tells Story to Fisk Countryman learned the story from “Muggins” Taylor, a scout from the Little Big Horn battlefield, who half dead from exhaustion, reached Coun- tryman’s ranch house at Stillwater, Mont. Countryman volunteered to it to Washington over the govern- ment wire. He arrived there only to find the wire down. There was nothing to do but continue the gruel- ing race to Helena. Helena was celebrating —_‘Inde- pendence Day. Fisk, even alert for news, had strolled down- town. Sitting in his of- fice, he was startled by the appear- ance of a dust-covered rider who spurred his jaded horse down the street, tumbled from the saddle and staggered into thy building. Horace Country The exhausted courier gasped out] the story of Custer’s lust stand. By the time he had concluded, Fisk had written the thrilling recital in long hand. The story from his pen, quot- ing Horace Countryman, then went out to the Associated Press as fol-| a supply stea lows: “General.
