National guardsmen were called to keep citizens
of Utica, N. Y., off the streets following a series
of underground explosions which occurred when
leaking gas from downtown mains was ignited
by a workman's sk-Cge. Manhole covers were
hulled high in the air. three citizens were ser

by the subtc-nanean gas lires.
Argue Validity
of Two New Ne
braska Statutes
Right of Legislature to Levy Retro
active Gas Tax Debate Before
State Supreme Court.
Two laws passed at the special ses
sion of the legislature were before
the supreme court Tuesday lor a
ruling as to their constitutionality.
These are H. R. 37 which levied a
retroactive tax of a cent a gallon on
gasoline for a period between March
and September of last year, when the
tax later declared Invalid was col
lected, and H. R. 11, which ratified
the act of the legislature in levying
that void tax.
The matter came before the court
on motion of the attorney general to
dismiss the case brought by the Ar
lington Oil company and three other
dealers for a declaratory Judgment
that the $1,113,000 void tax collect
ed could be returned to the dealers
who promised to do equity with the
consumers who actually paid the tax
in the first place, and that the laws
named be held invalid. Both agreed
SEEKS END ELECTORAL VOTE
Washington. Representative Bin
derup Thursday proposed a consti
tutional amendment to abolish the
electoral coirege system of electing
the president and vice president and
to establish a direct primary system
for their nomination. The amend
ment would provide uniform pri
maries and names listed on the bal
lot would be restricted to those per
sons filing with the secretary of state
of the United States a petition sign
ed by one percent of the voters who
cast ballots for the presidential can
didate of the respective parties at the
previous election.
For both primary and general elec
tion purposes candidates would re
ceive a proportion of the state's elec
toral vote as their popular vote cor
responded to the total number of the
popular votes cast. Candidates hav
ing the highest number of electoral
votes in both the primary and gen
eral election would be declared the
winner. Binderup said his proposal
was designed to make "a nomination
as well as election as nearly as pos
sible a result of popular sentiment.
Court Will
Decide if State
Solons Blunder
Nebraska Supreme Court Judges Hear
Arguments on Alleged Liquor
Law Conflict.
Whether, after having declared In
section 8 of the liquor control act
that beer and alcoholic liquors should
be sold in separate and distinct places
of business, the legislature later in
jected amendments that nullified that
purpose is a matter now in the hands
of the supreme court for decision.
In Omaha a district judge held that
section 3 was so inconsistent as to be
inoperative and void in the face of
what was set out in four later sec
tions of the act. In five cases in
Lincoln county District Judge Tewell
held the opposite. The action before
the supreme court was one brought
by a number of Omaha liquor dealers
who claim the right to sell both beer
and hard liquors over the same bar.
In their belief it was argued that
the declaration in section 3 was not

the money to come from WPA funds,

the city council by City Engineer
Richard Nosky.
Plans for improvements to the
municipal airport are being made, in
preparation for an application to the
WPA for funds to rebuild the air
port. Airline officials were inter

The proposed system of runways

validity of these two new laws, as
this would end the controversy.
Assistant Attorney General Mur
phy argued that the action brought
raised the same issues as were de
cided when the court dismissed the
dealers' petition In intervention in
the original case. In that decision
the court held that as the consumers
were not parties to the controversy a
decision would be binding upon them
and would not terminate the contro
versy; that a taxpayer could not
maintain a suit in the names of him
self and others similarly situated for
return of the taxes illegally collected,
and that the petition failed to state
the amount of individual claims.
Mr. Murphy said that the courts
have repeatedly held that a retro
active tax might be imposed, and if
paid in obedience to the law retain
ed, save where It was shown to have
been arbitrary and so remote in time
that certain rights had become vest
ed and where the public good was
small as compared with private In
terest. He said that the federal court
bad repeatedly held that congress
had power to ratify collections so
made.
Don W. Stewart of Lincoln, oil
dealers' counsel, contended the legis
lature had no power to validate
something done under previous
constitutional acts

.and was not followed in sections 25,
26, S2 and S3, which should be in-terpreted-to
mean that sales of both
intoxicants may be sold in the same
rooms.
The attorney general said that sec
tion 3 was controlling; that section
25 merely defined what constituted
a retailers license, and tnat the use
of the word "or" instead of "and"
conclusively showed that the legis
lature was thinking of separate sales.
Section 2 6 fixes the retailers' fee, and
sections S2 and 83 relate entirely to
procedure. He said the trouble with
the liquor dealers' attitude was that,
they thought "intoxicating liquors"
as used in the law meant both beer
and hard liquors.

of two buildings, a hangar and pas

would be large enough to accommo
date the proposed new type of pas

forty passengers.
The administration building would
house company offices, radio station,
department of commerce offices,
dining room and kitchen, and would
have a signal tower.

Lee Bayee, associated with Stew

spoke briefly. Stewart was given 10
days to file additional briefs.
Justice Paino disqualified himself

Gewacke attacked the law for Fill

the county sought to foreclose liens

on the basis of the tax law which
would cancel interest and penalties
on delinquent taxes if paid in equal
