GASOLINE EXPORT TAX
PROPOSED IN RESOLUTION
Representative Britten Has Measure
to Keep Supply in America and
Reduce Price Thereby.

What is the Constitution between
automobile owners? Very little, in
deed, if the resolution offered in the
House of Representatives by Repre-
sentative Britten of Illinois is to be
taken as a criterion.
Representative Britten. following the
aspirations of several other statesmen,
is DESTROYS of reducing the price of
gasoline. Believing that the exported
gasoline is cutting down the supply for
home consumption, Representative
Britten has proposed a tax of 80 cents
a gallon on each and every gallon of
gasoline exported from the United
States: and designates the collectors of
internal revenue to the task of collect
Ing this export duty.
The resolution was discussed in the
House corridors yesterday, and an emil
nent member of the ways and means
committee called attention to the fact
that the resolution is all right, but that
one small matter lay in the way of its
adoption:
What is that" asked his inquirer.
The little matter is the Constitu-
ton of the United States. Paragraph
of section 9, article /, reads: No tax
or duty shall be laid on articles ex-
ported from any state"
