Attorney General Wright filed with the supreme court Tuesday a brief in support of his motion to dismiss the claim of the Nebraska Petroleum Marketeers to the more than a mil lion dollars now in the hands of the state treasurer, the proceeds of the extra cent a gallon gas tax which the supreme court recently held had been illegally collected. The dealers In gasoline say that as they paid the money in the first instance, they are entitled to a court order for its re turn to them. In order to avoid the charge that they will pocket it after collecting it from the consumer, the dealers say in the event the court determines that any part of the fund be paid to the purchasers, they will return it to them. They say that hav ing been illegally, collected, the money constitutes " a trust fund to whic hthey are entitled. The motion will be argued Thursday. : In his brief the attorney general says the court lost jurisdiction of the action when it decided the law was Invalid; that it has no original jurisdiction over the proceeding in its present status, the case having been originally brought by a taxpayer and the dealers having intervened in an effort to have the law declared in valid; that they have no interest in the litigation, therefore, other than as persons who have paid the tax for fuel used by them; that they cannot sue on behalf of anyone but them selves; that the suit cannot be main tained as a class suit, and that the court should dismiss the action.
