new GAS TAX
SENDS PRICES
UP ONE CENT
Tax Paid on Gas Used For
Other Than Motor Ve-
hicles to Be Rebated

Gasoline prices are one cent per
gallon higher in Bismarck today as
result Of the new gasoline tax law
which went into effect yesterday.
The new price. is 25.9 cents per gallon
at filling stations.
The new law, providing for two
cent tax per gallon instead of one
cent, as formerly. was passed by the
voters at the primary election june
30, as an initiated measure.
Under the former law the one cent
tax was paid by the dealers at the
time they bought the gasoline. The
new law provides that tho two cent
tax is due at the time the dealer sells
the gasoline to the consumer. This
difference is giving rise to problem
of how much to collect now on gaso-
line sold by the dealers which they
bought under the old law, and or
which they have already paid one
cent per gallon tax.
In this regard the attorney gener
ais office says:
Between the old and the new Law
there is difference in the time wher
the tax is due. Under the old law
the tax is due when the gasoline is in
the hands of the dealer for sale. TN
der the new. law the tax is not due
until such time A. the product has
been sold.
"As consequence there will be in
the hands of the dealers when the
new law takes effect a very large
volume of gasoline upon which the
tax, of one cent has been paid OF
which is then due. This gasoline
will be sold under the new law. II
is not the intention that any gasoline
should be sold after July 80. 1926
upon which q tax less than two cents
should be paid.
"Giving effect. therefore. to the
evident intention Of the voters legis-
lating, it is our opinion that you
should collect from all dealers tax
Of one cent on all gasoline sold after
July 80 upon which there has been
paid or has become due under the old
law, tax Of one cent, which will make
= total of two cents per gallon for the
amount sold after that date. You
should, therefore, require reports
from the dealers which will disclose
facts sufficient for you to determine
the foregoing"
The law provides rebate Of all
taxes paid on gasoline used for other
purposes than motor vehicles Or auto
mobiles operating on . public high
way, such rebate to be paid upon a.

Became Republican Leader
Elected to the senate in 1908 as
one of the pioneers In the movement
which swept SO many insurgents in
to the United States senate from the
northwest. Albert Baird Ciimmins
remained to become d regular Of
the regulars. He assembled to high
place in The leadership of the re-
publican organization and served for
more than five years as president
pro tempore Of the senate.
/! An exponent of what was known
as the Iowa Idea" in tariff 1egisla-
tion, since translated into law III the
flexible tariff. Mr.. cummins early
found himself in violent disagree
ment with the republican leaders on
the fundamental principle Of pro-
! lection. and joined with .Doliver.
Bristow. Clapp and Beveridge in the
.. memorable senate fight over the
famous Payne-Aldrich tariff.
While thus placing himself in the
forefront of the ranks Of the re-
publican pfogressives, as they were
defined in those days. Senator Cum
Minis allowed the progressive move
ment to run ahead Of him. As re-
suit. some Of the progressive element
in his state opposed their former
leader in his ambition to succeed
himself in 1920, and the old guard
leaders came to his rescue.
