Cate W. Brown of the Missouri highway department rejected Roy F. Britton’s claim that department employees were being assessed to fund a 3 cent gas tax drive. He noted Britton approved decades ago the practice of employees circulating petitions for constitutional amendments on highway matters. Britton, president of the Missouri Automobile Club, resigned from the Citizens Road Association board amid criticism of employee signatures for the amendment. Brown cited a 1928 letter urging departments to secure large signature counts and said the Citizens executive committee sought funds from employees via the highway commission.
