INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September 21. =—Having pledged to President Hoover today continuance of their efforts to promote law observance, delegates to the fifty-fifth annual convention of the National Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union were prepared to pay tribute to Miss Frances E.

U. in its telegram to Mr. Hoover also pledged “the active support of our organization in making known the truth about the benefits of prohibi- tion by the systematic distribution of literature, by public meetings and by rallying the citizenship to the support of the Government in every effort to make effective the will of the people as expressed in the eighteenth amend- ment.” Hoover Cites Education Need. President Hoover's message to the convention yesterday said he was “im- pressed with the great need for extended work of education in the moral, physical and economic benefits of temperance” and that too many persons ‘“rely wholly upon the strong arm of law to enforce abstinence.” Mrs. Ella A. Boole of Brooklyn, N. ¥., ‘W. C. T. U. national president, will pre- sent the bronze plaque of Miss Willard. designed by Lorado Taft, Chicago sculptor, to the State of Indiana. Tonight's meeting was reserved for the finals of a national oratorical con- test sponsored bv the W. C. T. U. Har- old Netherton, Oklahoma; Effie Bowen, New Jersey: Phvllvs Lenore Young. Chi- cago: Helen Nicholas, Pennsylvania: Helen H. Shulke, Ohio, and Emmanuel H. Baugh. Indiana, were to speak, the winner being presented a diamond medal by United States Senator Arthur R. Robinson of Indiana. Hits Whisky as Medicine. “There is absolutely no mneed for whisky in the treatment of any disease, at any age, in any climate,” Dr. M. Len Hutchins of Los Angeles, director of the department of medical temperance, 1old the convention. She said prescrip- tion of alcoholic beverages as “house- hold remedies” was a fraud and has caused thousands to become liquor addicts. GASOLINE TAX ISSUE BEFORE HIGH COURT Attack on Legality of State Assess- ment in California Submitted to Supreme Tribunal. By the Associated Press. An attack on the legality of State gasoline taxes, affecting virtually all States and motorists generally, is pend- ing before the United States Supreme Court. The case, brought from California, is based on the contention that the gasoline tax is a toll within the mean- ing of the Federal-aid highway act, which _prohibits the expenditure of Federal funds on toll roads. The peti- tioners sought to enjoin the State of California from disbursing collections made under the State gasoline tax law amounting to approximately $33,000,000 a year. The question involved has been raised and passed upon in United States District Courts in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, but it is the first time it has come before the United States Supreme Court. The petitioners contend the Cali- fornia tax is, in effect, a toll upon consumers of motor vehicle fuel who operate over the highways of the State. The State contends the levy an excise for the gasoline distributor for the privilege of selling his product in the State to those who use it to operate their automobiles on the highways. Although the tax may be an indirect tmposition on the consumer, the State asserts, it is not a toll within the mean- ing of the Federal act, contending this has been indicated by the acquiescence of the Federal Government in the enforcement of gasoline tax laws in virtually all of the States.
