GAS TAX ACCRUED
TO STATE IS NOW
QUARTER MILLION
Comptroller to Make a
Demand on Companies
to Settle Up

Tallahassee. August 22.-Hon.
Ernest Amos. state comptroller, yes
terday gave out a statement showing
that from the best information avail
able to him there is now due from
the various gasoline dealers to the
state for the one-cent per gallon tax,
which has been held valid by the SUI
preme court, the sum Of $3ll, 812.3l,
TO which he has added, under the pro-
visions ct the act, penalties in the
sum of $31,1S123, making total
now due the state Of $342 ,993.54
The comptroller points out that as
his information was received from re-
ports from the commissioner Of agri-
culture as to the amount of gas sold,
in which there is, perhaps. included
some retail sales, there may be some
adjustments OH the above amounts.
As he had no means Of ascertaining
what retail sales, if any, are included
in the sales reported, he necessarily
had to take the total amount of the
sales in figuring the tax. He is of
the opinion, however, that the adjust
ments, if any. will be relatively
small.
Among al the dealers of the state
there is one shining exception: The
Escambia Oil company has continued
to report and pay the tax every
month since the law went into opera
ton.
Shortly after the first decision of
the supreme court on the law certain
of the dealers proposed to the comp
troller that they deposit the amount
of the tan in bank, in escrow, to be
paid over to him if the law should be
held good, but returned to the dealers
should the law be held invalid. The
comptroller declined to do this and, in
lette to one of the dealers under
date of June %, 1922, stated his po-
sition as follows:
in reply tc your letter Of the goth
relative to making a deposit of the
one-cent a gallon gasoline tax with
some bank, TO be held in escrow pend
ing final decisio nof the case now be-
fore the supreme court to avoid pay
ment Of the penalty provided for
where payment Of such tax is not
made as provided by law, will say
that you must admit that dealers are
now collecting this tax from the peo-
pie and from recent increases in the
price of oil. it would seem that more
than / cent gallon is being added
"Under the law, it is made my
duty to pay over moneys collected
into the state treasury promptly anc
| feel mat ! have no right to hole
the same. especially this tax where
the sane cannot be refunded to the
consumer who pays it. In other
words, I @efGse to 5e party to the

purposes Tor which it was collected
or returned to the person who paid it

Lets stop our selishness for a few hours, and assist nature in beautifying our homes, vacant lots, camping grounds and parks, and plant TREES and plant trees.
 Read this poem on trees by Joyce Kilmer-appropriate right now:
 1 think that shall never sec
 A poem as lovely as a tree, A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's wide flowing breast. A tree that looks God all day
 And lifts her lesfy arms to pray, A tree who may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair.
 Upon whose bosom snow has lain
 Who intimately lives with rain, Poems are made by fools like me But only God can make tree.
