later opponents of suffrage in the
North Carolina assembly sent rep

mean the enlistment of $50 local

PROPOSED TAX ON GAS
BRINGS ON DISCUSSION

The proposal to levy a tax on gaso-
line to provide funds for road main
tenance came in for a healthy dis
cussion, pro and con, at the chamber
OF commerce meeting Tuesday. the
proposal having it's proponents and
its opponents among the business
men. 1t was brought out that the
proposed tax, to be paid by all users,
would distribute the burden of taxa
ton fairly, each automobile driver
paying in proportion to the number
OF miles driven on the public high
ways, and would also prove a big
source of revenue from tourists, who
now pay nothing toward the main
tenance of the public highways. Rep
resentative Sanger suggested that the
legislature first be asked to pass a
law defining gasoline, as to quality.
and demand that the fluid pass a Ger
tain gravity test before it can be sold
for use in automobiles. IF we pay
a tax on gasoline, then let us be as
sured that we are getting gasoline.
