Gas Tax Foes Press For Uniform Levy In Federal Bill
Washington May 2 The Indian Industry poses as tachee in opposition to higher federal gasoline taxes. Key figures from the American Petroleum Institute and national associations argue a proposed rise would raise $200000090 annually and stress that a uniform levy across states is preferable. They claim current state and federal taxes drive prices up to 92-93 cents per gallon in some areas. The House Ways and Means Committee contemplates increasing gasoline and income taxes to fund public works and a $3.3 billion construction bond program, with options tied to repeal scenarios and stock dividends tax changes as part of financing.

The ruling sustains the city's demurrer. the case contemplates revenue from dividends, stock exemptions, and a potential one cent gasoline tax, with projections of tens of millions in annual yield.

Judge Delivers Drastic Sentence in Whiskey Raid Case
Federal Judge DuVal West meted a stiff penalty to Edwin M. Smallwood Tate for a March raid yielding 1350 dollars of whiskey and 2222 gallons. Tate received an 8 year term at Leavenworth plus a $500 fine after his prior police record was noted. Mrs. Smallwood, found guilty, paid a $100 fine and received a six month suspended sentence with two years probation. Leonard Brown, defense attorney, argued suppression of evidence and challenged Texas law on a wife’s liability for her husband’s property, but the court ruled knowledge of the illicit act by a wife does not constitute guilt. The jury’s verdict and court instruction emphasized the evidence as the basis for guilt.
