LETTER TO DEALERS
ABOUT GASOLINE TAX
Tax Commission Calls Attention te
Negligence on the Part of
Some :

Columbia, Oct. 3.-The state tax
commission yesterday addressed a
letter to all gasoline dealers in the
state subject to the two cent tax on
gasoline, calling to their attention
the negligence on the part of some of
the dealers in paying the tax and in
filling out and forwarding the neces-
sary reports.
In it's letter the commission says:
"There has been some negligence
on the part of the gasoline dealers
in sending in their reports promptly
by the goth of the month, because of
this fact the commission finds it
necessary to strictly enforce the
statute that all reports not mailed
on or before the goth of the month
will be penalized to the full extent of
the law.
"Also there has been some trouble
on account of inaccuracies in max
ing out the reports. Please see that
the reports correspond with records
kept in your office"

They contend they have won their

they need, not over % per cent of the
former force.

there has developed an alarming con

ORGANIZED GANG OF
AUTOMOBILE THIEVES

According to Bill Garrett, Hartley
county sheriff, an organized string of
auto thieves has been broken into,
and there will be numerous cases in
the Federal Court now in session at
Amarillo against persons charged
with transporting stolen automobiles
across the New Mexico state line.
There are as many as a half dozen
cases against the same individual, ac-
cording to Garrett, and the grand
jury has the evidence.
The gang operated from Oklahoma
through New Mexico to Ell Paso. 1t
is reported that a well known New
Mexico attorney and Notary Public is
in bad for fixing up fake bills of sale
on the automobiles soon after they
crossed the New Mexico line. 1t is
not known just how many are impli-
Gated, but the probability is that a
large number will be rounded up be-
fore the grand jury gets through
Dalhart Texan.

WORKED SLICK WAY
OF CATCHING ROBBERS

Saturday evening when Charles
Cooper went to get into his car to
90 home he discovered someone had
helped themselves to some clothing
he had left in his car. Immediately
after the discovery of the loss Mr..
Cooper, Charley's father, started to
Liberal in search of the thieves.
Fred went to Hooker where he dis
covered the men and hired them to
pick maize for the month. The men
not knowing whose clothes they had
stolen, hired out to the Coopers. AS
soon as they arrived at the Cooper
home, Charles recognized his over
coat and Mr.. Cooper came to town
and getting Deputy Sheriff Locke,
took him out to his place. Sheriff
Locke arrested the three men and
brought them to town where they
were arraigned before Justice Math-
ers. All three pleaded guilty to the
charge and were fined.-Tyrone OBJ

MEADE CO. SHERIFF
FINDS STOLEN CAR

On Monday of this week, the Ford
touring car which was stolen from
Curtis Utz of Plains, some time in
August, was returned to him.
Sheriff Buis of this county, has
been searching for the car ever
since the night it was taken, and
about six weeks ago located it in
the possession of sheriff in small
town east of Kansas City. This sher-
Tiff had found it by the roadside near
his town, had taken it to a garage
where it had since been kept. When
found the car was in. good condition,
and partly filled with gasoline. It
had evidently been taken by parties
from that locality who harvested in
the vicinity Of Plains, driven to with
in short distance of their home and
then abandoned. The special agent
for the insurance company having the
car insured, returned it to Mr.. Utz.
