THE GASOLINE TAX.

Few automobilists will object strenuously to the tax of one cent per gallon on gasoline sold in this state. They have seen the price or gas fall. and they feel, as most of the people feel. that if they arc able to afford to have a car they should pay the tax willingly-for it will be the consumer who will pay in the final analysis, rather than the distributor on whom the duty of actually meeting the tax is placed by the bill ngreed upon by both branches of the legislature.
 Nor will the tax mean a great deal to other users of gasoline-those- to whom 1t Is necessary in carbonizing water gas. Tn vapor stoves. lamps. etc. The quantity thus made use of is small in comparison with that em- ployed as fuel for gas driven engines.
 Naturally the retailer will be com pelled to charge a higher price in this state than the retailer in neigh boring states.

 But the retailers m tnls state who will suffer from this plan of the economical drivers. will be very few. The income to be derived, if the bill becomes law, will be taken from sources quite able to pay it, or from sources in which the tax will be scarcely noticeable.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.---Salc by the
Armour Company of its interests in the
Chicago stockyards to F. II. Prince g.
Co, of Boston, was authorized to-day
by the District of Columbia Supreme
Court. As the packing company owned
only twenty shares of stock in the
yards and Prince & Co. the remainder,
the government interposed no objec~
tions. The price was $1,500,00o
The court also consented to the sale
by Armour G. Co. of forty shares of the
Denver stockyards stock to George
Granger. The price was not made
public
Hearings on other features of the
revised plans Of the big five packers
for disposal of their stockyard holdings
were continued until next Monday.
The court intimated that plans fed
by Morris & Co, Wilson g. Co. and the
Cudahy Packing Company, providing
an Immediate surrender of their hold

House Authorizes
Embassy Buildings
Purchases Abroad
Opposition TO Method of
Applying Obligations to
United States Against the
Cost of the Properties
From The Tr,oune's WASHINGTON Burco,

From The Tribuuc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Despite
forceful protests from members of both
sides of the House. that body this after
noon voted authority to the Secretary
of State to acquire embassy and lcga-
tion buildings and grounds by crediting
their purchase price against obliga-
tions to the United States. The vote
to concur in the Senate amendment
to the diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill was 204 to 100.
The strength of the opposition to the
Senate plan was founded on the claim
that such action would be the entering
wedge by which foreign governments
will continue deferring payment of in
terest or principal on the billions owed
this country.
81 have been of the opinion for some
time that the countries that owe us
money would relieve themselves of that
obligation in a way that would not ben
eft US, but I had no idea that mon
strous proposition like this would find
any support here or elsewhere" de-
clared Representative Rayburn, Of
Texas.
ITO think Of the great government of
the United States accepting in payment
of the obligations due 1t from other
governments dicker for a. piece Of
real estate in the capitals of some Of
these countries
Il agree with the gentleman from
Illinois, Mr., Mann, that if ever saw
proposition in my life that was be-
meath the dignity of a great govern
ment like this, this amendment e.
tirely covers it. They will want to be
selling us some barren island some
where for an immense sum to cover
the obligations that they now owe US"
One of the main supporters of the
amendment was Representative Demp-
sey, of New York. He declared there
was nothing undignificd in such pro-
cedurc and added that while doing en-
barrassed foreign nations a favor, this
country would acquire without expen-
diture the buildings and grounds needed
by our foreign representatives

OF .Jollnlsonis11l
Leaders Supposed To Be
Backers of Senator An
nounce Their Desire to
Find Hoover i'm Cabinet
Break Seen i'm Hearst Tie
Traction Case Activity Is
Regarded as Plan TO
Win New Party Votes
Special Dispatch to Tho Tribuns

SpcCtut DlSDOtCN 20 IHC IftbuUe
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. %, - More
than half of the supposedly hard-and
fast johnson delegates to the Chicago
convention have sent word to Herbert
Hoover urging him to accept a place
in the Harding Cabinet, and have
pledged their active support to him in
any trouble that may ensue between
him and Senator Hiram w. Johnson.
Mr.. Hoover is regarded here as the
coming anti-Johnson leader, and there
is little doubt in this state that the
Harding Administration will back him
to the limit. When he becomes Secrc-
tary of Commerce it will be interpret
ed here as notice to Senator Johnson
by the Harding Administration that
President Harding has decided to get
along without his help
Senator Johnson's combination with
William r. Hearst and Mayor Hylan
in an attempt to thwart the traction
reorganization plans of Governor Miller
is interpreted here as sure sign that
Senator johnson is through with the
Republican Administration for the next
four years, and that he will be an
active candidate against Harding for
the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent in 1924
Now Party Predicted
Failing to make headway along that
line, the judgment of Californians is
that Senator Johnson, backed by Mr..
Hearst, will head a new party in 1924.
The news has been received here
that Governor Miller of New York has
had considerable to do with persuad-
ing Mr. Hoover to go into the Harding
Cabinet. If that is fact it probably
also is fact that Senator johnson.
at the suggestion of MIR. Hearst, has
started campaign Of reprisal against
Governor Miller and the Republican
organization in the City and State of
New York, where Senator Johnson got
the cold shoulder in his primary cam
paign a year ago
1t has been apparent for months that
fully half of the Republicans of Cali
fornia, especially those outside of or
ganization circles, are tired of the
domineering attitude of Senator John
son. His rule of the organization has
been one of iron. The women of the
state are partial to Mr.. Hoover. and
the instant that Senator johnson be-
gins war either on President Harding
or Herbert Hoover a back fire move
ment in California against Senator
johnson and his machine will start.
Hoover Strength Grows
johnson men are apprehensivc Of
serious trouble over Senator Johnson's
latest methods. They are afraid of a
battle for control of the organization.
