speaking of the demand frot'i
n quarters that road buildina
liscontinued, the governor said:
Road Building to Go On.
'This will be done in part whether
gasoline tax goes into effect or
ct, but for this suggestion to come
rom communities that have been
fortunate enough to have their tart
of the road program completed ap-
tears to be very unreasonable.
"The gasoline tax would enable the
currying on of a modest road build
ii.g program and the state could con.
tinue to receive at least a portion or
its share of federal aid."
Continuing in arguments for the
gasoline tax, the governor declared
the state has the machinery necessary
for its collection without adding a
single employe to the payroll. A dual
srgument for a continuation of goo.i
toad building and imposition of the
gasoline tax aJvanced by the govern
or follows:
Taxes for Tourists.
"It is estimated that the cost ot
Tunning the average automobile is
$100 per 1,000 miles. Therefore, the
amount of the gasoline tax is saved
many times over to the automobile
user in reduced cost of operating his
car on good roads."
The thousands of dollars possible
o collect from tourists was men
tioned in the message in support of
the gasoline tax. The governor esti
mates $100,000 will be collected an
nually ,4rom tourists. He also point
eijtm. that 16 states, including demo
cratic . and - former Nonpartisan
league domains, have such a tax, and
recommend it.
Governor McKclvie pointed to ac
J tion taken by representative bankers
it the Omana meeting in declining
to recommend a change .in the bank
guaranty law.
No Change in Bank Laws.
"On account of such action, and
inasmuch as it is the state bankers
who are obliged to pay the draft up
on the guaranty fund, I am not dis
posed to recommend the considera
tion of any amendments," he said.
The governor said, relative to pro
viding a means of redrafting Ne
braska's revenue laws at the next
' regular session:
-' k V i he ' constitutional convention
opened the -way for making exten
sive amendments in revenue' laws.
The last legislature undertook a por
tion of this work and provided for
an intangible property tax. . Much
remains to be done, iand it appears
to me it woutd be wise foresight to
make some provision now through,
the tax commissioner's department
for a careful study of this question
during the present year, so opera
tions of the present laws may be
carefully understood and intelligent
recommendations made at the next
regular session."
The governor merely mentioned
the six other minor subjects to be
considered and ended bv recommend-

The governor said also some
things .not in his written message,
and his auditors applauded when he
declared in speaking'Of the gasoline
tax measure:
"No wonder there .is sentiment
against it. Every metropolitan paper
in the state with one exception has
misrepresented what the. gasoline
. tax is. It is up to you to decide
, whether the representatives elected
by the people shall make the laws
or whether it shall b done by a hos
tile press."
