GASOLINE TAX BILL
It Is Claimed Revenue Would
Maintain Highways.

Boise, Idaho.-The bill provid-
ing for 2-cent tax on all gaso-
line sold in the state of Idaho,
made its appearance in the
house of representatives Jan. 10,
1t was introduced by Jarnigan of
Lewis county and is known as
house bill No. 3.
1t is estimated that on the ba-
sis of $4,000 cars in the state,
this tax will yield an annual
revenue for highways of 1924, ;
600. This amount, in coujunc-
ton with the states share Of
the automobile registration fees,
will be sufficient to maintain the
states highways. An additional
$25,000 is anticipated in the rev.
enues of the gasoline tax from
tourists each year.
Under the provisions of the
bill the dealer is responsible to
the state for the payment of the
tax and therefore is obliged to
collect the tax when he sells
the gasoline. He is also required
to submit to the purchaser a re-
ceipt' showing that he (the
dealer) is responsible for the
payment of the tax and thereby
relieving the purchaser from all
responsibility.
A statement must be made to
the secretary of state on or be-
fore the 10Th of each month
showing the amount of gasoline
sold in the previous calendar
month. These statements must
be signed by an authorized Of
ficer or agent of the company
or person making the sale and
certified to as being correct.
With this monthly statement
the dealer must submit the tax
he has collected to the secretary
of state who turns it over to the
state treasurer. The last named
official is instructed by the
terms of the bill to place the
money to the credit Of the state
fund.
