Tax on Gasoline
Nonpartisan Law
Governor Replies to Last of
Political Critics Collection
Costs Arizona $1,000.
Lincoln, Jan. 4. (Special.)
While Arthur G. Wray and . Abe
Sorenson, Nonpartisan league lead
ers, have been telling the people
of Nebraska that the proposed gaso
line tax was unfair and unjust and
threatening to circulate referendum
petitions against it in the event the
, legislature imposed the tax, Gover
nor McKelvie wrote to Governor
R. A. Nestos of North Dakota. He
received word from the North Da
kota governor that a Nonpartisan
league legislature passed a gasoline
lax law, and held the gasoline . tax
up as one of, its .-methods of reliev
ing the farmer from high taxation
on farm property. .
" "That is the last straw to the op
position," Governor McKelvie said.
"First the democrats ; criticized it
and it was shown that the gasoline
tax is looked upon as one of the
most just and popular taxes ever im
posed in certain democratic states.
And, today we. learn, the Nonparti-
san leaguers .in 1 North Dakota had
s'uch a tax." v
Governor McKelvie '. received a
telegram from Governor Thomas E.
Campbell of Arizona, who stated
i hat the total expense of -collecting
a gasoline tax in that state . was
SI. 000 a year, and the total receipts
$160,000 a year.
Union Pacific Head
Addresses Farmers
Lincoln, Jan. 4. Carl R. Gray,
president of the Union Pacific rail
road, was among the visitors at the
meetings of organized agriculture
here today. Hp was accompanied

tan, also members of the agricultural
1 committee of the Omaha Chamber
of Commerce, and by John V.
WVlsh. Another Omahan present is
IT. F. Mcintosh. . .. ...
The reduction in- railroad rates on
farm "products was discussed by Mr.
Gray in a brief address at a mass
meeting of farmers this afternoon.
He stated the cut would range from
UVi to 22Yi per cent, but that no
other industry thaji agriculture could
expect a reduction.
Mr., Gray likened farming to early
day- railroading,- when no cost sys
tem was in -use and when, . though a
sain might be made on one class of
business .most of this-would be lost
on another. He told of one farmer
vho had an' income of $1,500 vyear.
When this was analyzed he found
that in return for a third of his time
t and material he made' -an income of
$4,000. In return for two-thirds of
his time and material, he lost $2,500.

Rates Protested
by Traffic Bureau
. -
Complaints Filed Against
Sugar and Roofing Ma '
trials Tariffs.
; -
C. E. Childe. inanaaer of the traffic
bureau of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce, filed a complaint with
the Interstate Commerce commission
vestcrdav. attacking the rates on
sugar from New Orleans to Chicago,
New York and St. Louis.
Some time ago the rates on sugar
from New Orleans to .Chicago and
St Louis were reduced, but the new
rates were suspended when , com
plaints were filed by eastern and
western cities. Omaha complained
because the reduced rates into bt.
Louis were not fair to other cities of
the Missouri valley.
A protest was also filed against the
proposed raise of 6 cents per 100
pounds on roofing materials, which
the railroads have ordered to be
come effective January IS. The
traffic bureau asks that this increased
rate be suspended.
The protests on both items are im.-
oortant because of the vast amount
of sugar and roofing material shipped
into Omaha annually. A decrease in
rates will mean the savings of thou
sands of dollars. ..
