TWo-Cent Gasoline Tax
Is to BE RemOUed, Says
Wire From Sen. Gore

The two cents n gallon tax on
gasoline Is TO be lifted.
A telegram received by Tho
World from Senator T. Il. Gore
last night brought the Information.
This Is the telegram:
"Scnatc finance committee has
just agreed to my proposal to strike
out the tax OF two cents a gallon on
gasoline"
This is joyful news to reflncrs
and automobile owners alike. Ii
means that you can operate your
motor car at lower cost and with
the tax off, the rcfincrs can find IL
more ready domestic market for
gasoline.
Tulsa reflncrs were not unprc-
pared for tho news. They have
been working especially against
tho eighty per cent income tax
clause OF the revenue bill but Il
was the opinion OF many attorneys
and representatives of refincrs last
night that the arguments OF the
mid-contlnent rcflners had gone u
long way toward convincing the
senate finance committee thnt the
two cent tax on gasoline was un-
Just.

From your grif has como the glory.

Out the peace that yictOry's bringing

That the Flags Of freedom fly.
Had they let their courage falter
At Truths sacrifirial altar,

Freedom would have passed forever,
And this world in grim disaster
Would have had tyraut master.

Think not that they died in vain.

LONDON. Thursday, Nov. al
Earl Curzon, member of the Brit
ish war cabinet, presided tonight
at a dinner given by the British
government to the delegates to
the interallied petroleum confer
ence. In toasting the French,
American and Italian delegates.
Earl Cruzon declared that the al
lied cause had been "floated to
victory on a wave of oil" because
II II had not been for the great
fleets OF motor trucks the war
could not have been won. In the
last IS months the council has
dealt with 100000 tons of oil.
In December, 1916, Earl Cur
zon said, the oil situation was crit
ical. Stocks were 80 depleted that
the British fleet was obliged to
restrict operations. At the time
when tank ships were being sunk
in increasing numbers the idea
was conceived of carrying oil In
the double bottoms Of ordinary
vessels, and 100000 tons were
transported in this manner.
When the armistice was signed
the stocks of oil In allied coun-
tries had been brought up to a
point OF absolute safety. Senator
Berenger of France said that the
Germans thought to win because
they owned coal. but the allies
won with oil. 1t was a victory OF
automobiles over railroads. The
United States, by its ready re-
sponse to the needs Of the allies,
he added. had rendered a service
to France ana the other allies
which never would be forgotten,
