HOUSE FAILS TO PASS
2-CENT GASOLINE TAX
MCCray Measure Fails to
Muster Constitutional
Majority,

Another blow at the administration
financial program was given day
when tho House failed to pass the
gasoline tax bill The vote was Al
80 for passage Fifty-one is the con
sttu1ional majority.
The failure Of the measure com
pleted the collapse Of Governor Nc
Cray's plans to finance the State
highway department. 1t leaves that
department with very little money.
The administration probably will be
compelled to resort to a property tax
to finance the highways.
The bin provided for a tax of cents
on each gallon Of gasoline to be col
leCted by the auditor of State During
the first year 100000 Of the proceeds
would have been returned to the coun-
ties and during each succeeding year
1.000,0 600 would have been returned
It was estimated the tax would have
yielded $4,000. GOO or more.
Oscar Ahlgren, Republican floor
leader, defended the bill. He was
bombarded with questions from both
sides.
The Administrations automobile
license BILL which, with the gasoline
tax bill, was to have financed the
highway department, Is in the Senate,
having passed the House in a form
whereby it would raise considerably
less money for the highway depart
ment than the present law. The ad-
ministratiOn hopes to have the bill
amended in the Senate or, failing this.
to kill it and keep the present law.
The vote on the gasoline tax bill:

The appointment Of New caused no
surprise here. 1t had been expected
for weeks. 1t was known President
Harding had told New he could have
anything he wanted and the only
doubt as to his appointment arose
because New would not seek the job
His silence and the silence of the
President was interpreted once as be-
ing unfavorable to the appointment.
Tut when VIII Wood Indiana rep
resentauve from the Tenth district,
and the Watson organization n In
diana began TO attack New, the ap
pointment was assured. News friends
rallied to the cause and informed the
President they were anxious to see
him appointed.
President Harding and New are close
personal friends. Probably New is
closer to the President than any other
Senator, and this, despite publicity
given the golf Cabinet" and the
many trips to the Senator's house.
The close friendship began when
New announced his support for Hard

the 1915 campaign.
