Gasoline Profiteering Charged.
Gov. Byrd has served notice on

price they are charging for gasoline
10 excessive and they are mulcting the
consumers for $3.50. 1000 a year. The
tax In Virginia is Az cents q gallon

are adding the additional = cent TO
!he price instead of making the charge
FOR the increase in the amount q the
actual tax.
The governor is condemning this
practice and will inaugurate steps to
prevent this form Of profiteerfng. Re
ports are that the vast majority of
the dealers are taking advantage Of

ing from the users.
