SPECIAL SES
' SIGN OF LEGIS-
SOON
UILIiLE OF FEBRUARY TO SEE
LAWMAKERS CONVENED
AT M'KELVIE'S CALL
Governor Samuel R. McKelvie an
nounced Monday on his return from
New York that he intends to call a
special session of the Nebraska legis
lature about the middle of February.
He said the principal subject to be
included in the call is a proposal to
impose a tax of one cent a gajlon up
on gasoline in lieu of the present
lax for road building purposes.
If necesary the question of reap
propriating $ 1. COO, 000 of the state
capiud fund which was not specifi
cally appropriated by the last legis
lature, will be included in the call.
The governor said it was barely pos
sible amendments to the fund or the
protection of depositors might be in
cluded. He is studying that question
with a view to a request for special
legislation if he believes action is
needed.
"I have not talked with members
of the legislature about the proposed
special session," said Governor Mc
Kelvie. "It is my intention not to
hamper the special legislative pro
gram with a multfplicty of subjects.
A short session is desired.
"At the governors' conference at
Charleston. S. C. I talked with gov
ernor Thomas W. Tlardwick of Jeor
gia, Governor William C. Spro;il of
Pennsylvania and other governors
about this matter. Such a tax is now
imposed by six or eight states. It has
been tested in New Mexico and is
being enforced in other states. It is
considered an ideal tax for road pur
poses. It makes the heaviest machines
pay a heavier tax. It appears to go
far in solving the problem of equal
izing taxation between real property
and other assets. The burden is now
too treat upon tangible property.
"The plan is to impose a tax of
one cent or more upon each gallon
of gasoline consumed or sold in this
stm-e. This might meet all road pur
poses and be in lieu of the present
r.tato aid road tax."
Governor McKelvie said he had
the gasoline tax under advisement
when the last legislature was in ses
sion, but it was not then considered
feasible. At that time other states
were passing laws of that nature but
there was opposition to their enforce
ment and some were being tested in
cnurts. Under the circumstances it
was -not thought best to attemtp
tuch Jegisiaticn in Nebraska on the
ground that it would probably be held
up in the courts and no funds would
le available under it for at least
two years. The governor now consid
ers it advisable to try such a law.
It is likely that one cent a -gallon
will not be sufficient in lieu of the
present st;ite aid road tax. The last
legislature appropriated a total of
?iMr.:;.T41 from the Mate aid road
tax to eM federal funds for road
construction for a period of two
years. This was at the rate of $1,
f.CG.STO a year. A tax of one cent a
gallon on gasoline would raise a fund
of $720. 7?. aceordingto the bien
nial rep:-rt of the stafe department
of agriculture. That department in
sp?ctcd ir3.?52."0 gallons of gaso
line in the two years ending Decem
ber .11. 192".
One of the proposed change" in
the guaranty law proposed by Secre
tary J. E. 11 art o the Nebraska de
partment of trade and commerce, of
which Governor McKelvie is the head,
is onf to aw.ait the conversion of a
failed banks assets into money and
the collection of stockholders' liabil
ity before paying depositors. He
would place a reasonable time limit
in which this must be done, probab
ly six months. The original law call
ed for immediate payment of deposit
ors. As it now stands depositors must
wait a month or so until claims are
filed and approved by the district
court and receiver and an order is
sued by the court for the drawing of
guaranty fund.
RUSSIA SEAT OF
THEBOMB PLOT
W. J. Eurns Satisfied It was Hatched
by Third Internationale A
Blacksmith Implicated.
New York. Dec. IS. Text of the
10,000 word confession alleged to
have been made by Wolfe Linden
feld after his arrest in Warsaw, in
connection with the Wall street
bomb explosion September 16. 1920,
was being awaited tonight by Wil
liam J. Burns, direct'or of the bureau
of investigation of the department of
justice. He characterized as un
founded the reports that the depart
ment of justice had given orders to
begin a roundup of communists.
In the event that arrests should be
necessitated thru disclosures con
tained in Lidenfeld's statement, Mr.
Burns asserted that would be done
"properly and by warrant."
He said he was just as positive to
day as he was on the day of the ex
plosion that the crime was the handi
work of the third Internationale.
Anticipating a possible anarchis
tic demonstration resulting from pub
lication of Lidenfeld's confession, the
police have taken extraordinary pre
cautionary measures to protect Wall
street.
Warsaw, Dec. 18. Sylvester Cos
grove, the American department of
justice agent, has sent a cable dis
patch to Washington giving the name
of a blacksmith whom Wolfe Linden-j
i i tt:i -. : T ; ,1 I
