The Gasoline Deposits.

The Morning Journal,
Albuquerque, N. NJ.
Just a word about an editorial
in today's paper. You state mo
body paid the tax" l believe YOU
are in error there, as one of the
local distributors here told me
personally that the oil companies
were collecting the tax from the
/ dealers with the understanding
/ that if the courts held the law
/ invalid, that the companies would
| then pay back, refund or allow
credit for the amounts collected.
| That the dealers were collecting
the tax from the consumers. He
advised me to keep a record Of the
number of gallons of gasoline
bought and from whom purchased,
and that | would be entitled to a
refund of the &c per gallon. l be-
lieye if you will investigate this
that the tax has been collected
from the consumers by the "octo-
pus," as you call it, and is being
held by said companies, awaiting
the decisions of courts before pay
ment to the state. or course the
state did not collect any. Very
truly yours, w. c. Zerwer.
The Journal stated, nobody has
paid a tax to the state or to in
spectors. Any deposit which re-
tailers and patrons may have made
should come back.
According to a statement from
Colonel d. X, B. Sellers, published
in The Journal Friday, retailers
have been charged cents per gall
Ion by company distributors, with
an understanding that the amount
would be refunded if the contest
begun in court by oil companies
was decided in their favor, as it
has been. Gasoline about doubled
in price all over the country after
the inspection act was passed, and
probably consumers ceased 10
think about 2 cents per gallon.
Retailers generally have not
kept any record of sales to individ-
uals and few patrons know how
much gasoline they have pur-
chased or from whom, SO any re-
fund by oil companies to the trade
may stick in the hands of gas sta
ton men unless the state can call |
it from the shippers.

situation in the European and Ash
attic continents is not encourag-
ing. and years must roll by be
fore the various nations will have
struggled back to their feet.
The question of moment Decors-
tion Day Is What has America
gained through the world war;
We Will find that the moral and
spiritual gains to our country
will be commemorate TO our
heavy sacrifices. Without closing
our eyes TO the situation in Mex
leo, or to the alarming Increase
OF Bolshevism and disloyalty. or
to the criminal advance IN the
cost of living, or to the industrial
disturbances, we may assure our
selves that America is sound at
the core. and that our people will
fashion anew the weapon of leg
islation and WELD IL with high
and devoted courage for the pIo-
lection OF their political, their
domestic, and their economic in
tests
Beneath all that Is awry, the
following facts have emerged into
Significance:
(a) America has risen into
the moral leadership of civiliza-
tion. There is wholesome re-
spect for her land. her law, and
her flag everywhere. Whether
we join this league or any other
ombination of nations to guar
antee the peace of society. Amer
lea cannot escape her RESPONSE
bility fop the peace of society.
The lesson of Decoration Day is
not a giorificstion of isolation and
selfishness. The treaty OF Yer
sailles forms a chapter in United
States history.
(b) American democracy has
become naturalized in spirit and
in prospective passion in the re-
public of human endeavor every
where. Nothing can resist tho
onward sweep of democratic prin-
ciples and institutions.
~ (c) America has learnt to take
her measure. She knows herself,
and has indexed the sources Of
disloyalty and the resources OF
industrial wealth. America has
taken a census of her physique
and technique. Millions of young
men have learnt the pride Of
clean bodies and clean minds.
Millions of men and women have
\ learnt to invest in America
Their bonds indicate not only a
new confidence in their country,
but also a large responsibility for
it's welfare. Millions of men and
women have learnt to mobilize
their domestic. religious, and in
stitutional strength, and to work
in practical cooperation for .

the same time he made public the
of Ralph Hayes,

who made a special trip to Europe to
make a study OF the problem.

adopted policy OF returning the war

suitably for these whose return is
not requested.

Ii Is also recommended that the
War Department consult the commit

available for those communities or
