during March under the new gasoline
tax act, the tax commission announced
yesterday after figures for March had
been compiled A few delinquent tax
payers have not yet reported, but the

March was the first month on which
the tax of two cents a gallon was paid
on gasoline, and judging by the fig
ures for this month total of ap-
proXimately 100000 will be collected
for the ten months of this year. How
ever, these figures may be changed
as the sales may increase during the
summer months or they may decrease.
Under the terms of the gasoline tax
act, one-half of the money collected
goes into the state treasury and one
half goes to the counties for building
and maintaining roads.

the state treasurer the gross earnings
of all the public utility corporations
in the state. These public utility cor
porations pay three mill tax on
their gross earnings and the commits
sion is certifying a total of $84,257.8l

BREAK MAY COME
in IRISH TREATY

Belfast, April &c (By the Associated
Press).-A breach between the Dublin
and Belfast governments, which Ul-
ster political quarters declare may
also entail a rupture of the London
agreement, is indicated by a state
ment issued by the provisional gov
crnment in Dublin this afternoon. an
nouncig that it is unable to cooper
ate with the Belfast government in
an inquiry into the Irish railways.
The seriousness of the general situ-
alton between the two governments is
indicated by telegram from Michael
Collins, head of the provisional gov
ernment, to Sir James Craig the VI
ster premier.
Gail here are agred it is impossible
to make any further progress until
the vital clauses of the London agree
ment are fulfilled by you," said Col
Inns, in his telegram dated April %
"They consider your attitude regard
irg prisoners as most unsatisfactory
and entirely out of accord with the
letter and spirit Of the agreement, and
your failure to agree to investigation
Of cases under Clause V, as most un-
reasonable"
Clause V of the London agreement
of March 80 provided for establish
ment of a committee in Belfast, with
equal numbers of Catholics and Pro-
teStantS, to hear and investigate COM
plants of intimidation, outrages, etc.
Sir James Craig's reply to Michael
Collins telegram of April 2, made
public today, asserts that there had
been no cooperation on the part of the
provisional government, which had
not even appointed it's nominees on
the advisory committee called for by
the London agreement.
The Ulster premier also complained
that the provisional government had
not withdrawn the boycott of Ulster
and that hundreds of thousands of
pounds worth of Belfast goods had
been destroyed in southern Ireland.
He declared the Irish Republican
army was still committing grave out
RACES in Ulster and he asserted that
in general there had been bad faith
on the part of the provisional govern
ment.

ALLIES TO DECIDE
MOVES TO FOLLOW

Genoa, April 26.-Announcement by
the British delegation that meeting
of the signatories of the Versailles
treaty will be held in Genoa Within a
fortnight to determine upon action in
the event of Germany's failure to
meet her reparations obligations at
the end of May was the chief feature
of today's conference activities. This
call for a meeting of the allies was
inspired by Premier Poincare's Bar LIE
Due address intimating that France
was prepared to act alone if the allies
failed to support her in enforcing the
treaty.
Poland replied to Russia's protest
charging the Poles with violating
treaties with Russia and seeking to
undermine Russian sovereignty. The
Polish reply asserted that the Poles
were endeavoring to assist in the re-
construction of Russia and had no
thought of violating their treaty
agreements with Russia.
While the leading statesmen assem-
bled in Genoa were consulting each
other on what kind of reply they
should make to the Bolshevik coun-
ter-proposals, and what would be the
probable scope of the non-aggression
pact which it is proposed to submit
to the conference, the experts here
from many lands were hurrying on
with their technical work connected
with economics, finance and TRANSPORT.
The transport commission in a final
session recommended the urgency of
the powers adopting all possible
measures in concert to improve the
transport system of Russia. The
league of nations was asked to invite
the nations, whether members or nom
members of the league, to work to-
gether on technical matters further
ing the cause of transport.
The experts insist that important
things have already been done at
Genoa in the way of improving condi-
tions; these have largely taken form
cf arranging for future conditions,
but it is pointed out that the present
convention, including 81 states, has
brought about kowledge of actual
conditions in Europe which is certain
to prove beneficial for future ameli-
Grafton.
Much Is expected from the currency
and general financial meetings which
will be held at London and Paris.
The exact form of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges proposed pact has been the
subject Of discussions among the
leaders, as they wish to introduce a
measure strong enough to be genuine
ly effective in reducing to a minimum
the chances of war.
The Washington four power pact
is frequently referred to as an ex-
ample on which the project may be
used.

THINKS BONDS
ARE DUPLICATED

Washington April 26.-The state
ment was made on the floor of the
house today by Representative John
son (Republican) of South Dakota
that it will later be shown Oy official
documents that there are probably
hundreds of millions of dollars of
duplicate bonds in the United States.
Prompt denial of the statement was
made by high treasury officials, who
declared investigation by Secretary
Mellon Of the bureau of engraving had
disclosed there was no truth in re-
ports Of the circulation of a large
scale Of counterfeit government Sc
curities.
Challenging the Johnson statement,
Representative Wingo of Arkansas,
Democratic member of the house
hanking committee, declared it was
calculated to cause uneasiness in the
country and that he did not believe
Mr.. Johnson ought to make it unless
he can back it up as the truth"
Mr. Wingo expressed belief that an
investigation would show that Secre-
tary Mellon in denying RECKLESS
charges" about the existence of dupli-
cate bonds "did not lie to the people
of the country"
AS basis for his charge as to al
legged circulation of spurious securi-
ties, Mr.. Johnson said that j. w. Nc
Carter, assistant registrar of the
treasury during the Wilson admins
tration secured information in the
course of his duties which convinced
him that there had been enormous
applications of government bonds
which had been printed by the bureau
of engraving and printing and had
gone through the Office of the regis
trar of the treasury.
81 think Mr. McCarter took the
right attitude when he presented the
matter first to a distinguished Demo
cratic senator and very properly pre-
sented the matter to the assistant
secretary of the treasury" Mr.. John
son continued. He was very quickly
informed at that time by the former
administration that notbing WAS
wrong that there sbould he no inves-
;igation and that he should keen his
mouth shut or lose his position, and
Mr.. McCarter, who had developed the
fact that will later be shown bv of
fetal documents that there are prob-
.bly hundreds of millions of dollars
of duplicate bonds in the United
States. was DISCHARGED from service
