House in Flurry Over "Fake” Bill on Gasoline Tax Opponent* of Mea*nre Re ported Out by Committee Distribute Printed Copies of O wn Program. By P. C. POWEIJj. Staff (nrrespnndnnt The Omaha Bee. I<!ncoln. J‘>h. 27.—Irregular proce dure Is charged against opponents of the gasoline tax bill by R. E. Har rington, chairman of the house rev enue and taxation committee, which reported out the bill calling for use of gasoline tax proceeds in meeting federal appropriations for state high \va v. The opponents, who believe gasoline tax proceeds should be used in build ing county highways call themselves the “farm bloc,’* their commanders irt-chief being Johnson of Herman, and Keck of Polk, dyed-in-the-wool i . democrat*. Not more than one half of the farm members claim member ship In the “bloc." This bloc Introduced skeleton bills calling fot* a 50-60 split of gas tax proceeds. It failed to receive sanc tion of the revenue and taxation com mittee. In some manner, the mem bers induced the printer to print the Mils, labeling them "House Commit tee Substitute for House Roll 339.” House Roll 339 is the gasoline tax bill reported out by the committee. "Bills’* Ordered Removed. Copies of these bills were distrib uted to house members today. Frank P. Corrlck. chief clerk, ordered them removed from bill files of the mem bers. Keck announced he would cor rect the irregularity. Johnson of AVashington, asserted he would pre sent the amendment when the gas tax bill comes up for consideration be fore the house. It Is doubtful If the state will'pay cost of the printing of the “bills.* A bill empowering cities and vil lages to acquire municipal lighting or water plants or extend the service without issuing bonds was reported out today by the house Judiciary committee. This bill has been the subject of a bitter onslaught from power and water plant interests and was reported out by a narrow mar gin. Under terms of the bill acquisi tion or extension may be realized by contracting to pay costa out of pro ceeds in regular Installments. The senate committee has reported out the McGowan movie bill with amendments. As the bill now stands movie theaters charging more than 35 cents for admission are denied the right to show advertising films. Oleo Tax Bill Killed. Another troublesome bill, forcing the board of control to purchase but tsr for state institutions and discon tinue use of oleomargarine, was re ported out by the senate committee on state institutions. Farm organiza tions supporting the bill asserted Its passage would insure a 10-cent per pound increase In price of butter. Another bill imposing a 3-cent tax on oleomargarine has been killed In com mittee. The senate adjourned today until 12:30 Tuesday while the house has ad journed until 2 AVednesday. Such an adjournment Is customary on March 1, the usual end of the fiscal year on farms. After considerable debate the sen ate advanced a bank bill to third reading which clarifies the guaranty fund commission law and states specifically that management of falltd banks He* primarily In the hands of the guarantee fund commission.

"Karnak Is well advertised, it is true, hut it takes more than advertls Ing to bring about such a large and rapidly growing demand. Results Are tlie Proof. "Tt'e what the people themselves, who h«\e actually tried It, have to aav about Karnak that counts. One bottle Is aolil through advertising but 10 more are sold In that ronvhuntty afiee the first bottle produces re suits, and that* where Karnak score*. "People are always willing to talk about their ailments but they are more willing to fell otlieia */ the medicine that helps them.
