Illinois Gasoline Tax
Law Held Unconstitutional
State Supreme Court Charges
Measure Is Discriminatory
Violates Amendment

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 27-The
Illinois Supreme Court today held
the Illinois gasoline tax law uncon-
stitutional.
The gasoline tax law, passed by
the last session of the Illinois leg
islature, applied a rate of two
cents on the gallon.
The test case reached the high
court on an appeal from a decision
in suit instituted by the Chicago
Motor Club, whose fight dated to
the day the bill was introduced be-
fore the general assembly.
The principal defects alleged in
the gasoline tax law were that il
was discriminatory and unconsti-
tutional.
Errors assigned included:
Violation of the fourteenth fed.
eral amendment, which guarantees
equal protection to all; that the
refund provided for those using
gasoline for purposes other than
motoring was a gift and in viola
ton of the state constitution; that

cossive or questionable expenditures or contributions have been whispered around capital railways here, and the committee is at loss as to how to proceed unless it be in this routine manner.
 The only open charges have been made by Senator Heflin of Alabama m reference to selection of demo- cratic delegates in Iowa and New Jersey pledged to Gov. Alfred E. smith of New York. Heflin made only general charge concerning Iowa and read a newspaper story i'm plying that Mayor Hague Of Jersey City had promised to finance the Jersey delegation to the Houston convention. This newspaper account was denied by Hague's secretary in q telegram later presented by Sena- tor Edwards, democrat, New Jer- sey. The committee may not go into these charges unless Heflin or some one else makes formal complaint.
 In the absence of charges usually made in the heat Of political cam palgns, committee members believe Il will be impossible for them to get close line on expenditures. There IS no national organization as vet for any Of the candidates. Head quarters have been opened up for each Of them in various cities but It would require practically all the

was passed in 1918 but in 1915 a so that the law became of no effect.
 In 1913 Governor Baldwin brought it to the attention of the legislature that damages for death from negli- gent causes should be increased from s5,0uo to $10.000 owing to the de- creased purchasing power of the dol lar. This became a law and is the law today. In our sister state of New York there is no limit to the amount that may be recovered for a death from negligent causes and because of the further decrease in the purchas- ing power of a dollar since 1913 should We not follow the example of New York and remove the limit in our own state?
 Also in 1913, was passed. the Workmen's Compensation act. the most remedial statute ever adopted by our state. This is the outstanding feature of the Baldwin administra- ton and one that has favorably affected thousands of injured work men.
 We take pride in the accomplish ments of our state democratic ad- ministrationS and feel that our pledges to the people were carried out honestly and fairly.
 Govt. of Today
 In this state at the present time there exists what might be termed an oligarchial form of government, the will Of the people is thwarted. An example of this occurred two years ago. You will remember that at the last state election a governor was elected by the ma ajority of the voters and he resigned the day of his termed governor for an hour. I know of no other state where this political subterfuge could have been successfully carried out. This oligarchy rules with an iron hand and woe betide any member of the for himself. He will be immediately disciplined and put on probation for a certain length Of time and then if he promises to be good he will be returned once more to the good graces of this oligarchy. This oli- garchy controls every appointment that is made in connection with our state laws, both large and small, in every town, city and hamlet It will be for the voters to say next fall whether they wish this system to continue. ] think their answer will be-NO.
 Just a word as to the business ad- ministration that was stressed by the junior senator from Connecticut. If I remember correctly last fall the governor of our state admitted that enough millions could be saved in the operation of state affairs to fi- nance needed additions to hospitals and other state buildings. If this statement is correct We are reminded that the republicans have been in power in our state for Is years. Draw your own conclusions. Was \hdI I1tS VI. hOtIlS EdIluludtt TUT kON- ernor in 1926 correct in his state- ment that the state was being man. aged extravagantly?
 Too Much Power
 Too much power in the hands of one party in state is a detriment to that party as we'll as to the state. This is the condition in our state to- day and can only be remedied by the will of the people next fall.
 Let us return to the principles of old fashioned democracy, tho strong, rugged, fearless kind that has per- meated the administrations of our democratic presidents. This year of 1928 will mark new birth Of free

table will of Wilson with lofty pur- poses and high ideals who will lead us out of this morass of graft and corruption to the dawn of a brighter day. Where shall we look for this man? Why not in the great state of New York that furnished the nation with a democratic president A years ago? The gentleman that I am about to mention combines all the characteristics that l have described, a self-made man in every way, a real American, elected governor four times in the state of New York, an honor never before conferred upon any man in that state, democrat or republican and one whom l know will be endorsed by this convention, nominated at Houston. Texas and elected president of the United States next Noyember-Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York.
 The junior senator from Connecti- cut in addressing the republican con vention a few days ago spent some time in justifying the action of the administration in interfering in the affairs of Nicaragua and sending our soldiers there. After reading the de- fense plea of the senator, l admit that l am still in doubt why our soldiers were sent there in the first place but I am convinced that the American people do not wish our soldiers to be there and I might say their sentiments are expressed ln one sentence: Let the Nicaraguans settle their own disputes
 Let us not forget that in assisting in the election of democratic pres ldent, we have only completed part of our Job. There is still something more to be done and that is to elect a democratic state ticket.
 Conn. Party History
 As we look back over the history of the democratic party in Con- who have presided over the desti- nies of our state. How many times We have heard and read of the splendid administrations of Thomas M Waller, Luzon B. Morris and Simeon F.. Baldwin, men oi the high est type Of American citizenship, conservative, progressive and devot- cd 10 the highest democratic ideals.
 Simeon E. Baldwin was governor for two terms being elected ill 1912 and 1914 and his administration sup ported measures and reforms that were for the good of the whole peo- pie, irrespective of political affilia- tions.
 He recommended that judges Of city courts be appointed by the gov srnor, in the same manner as su- perior court judges are appointed, and not be made the political foot Lall of the party in power, in the state. A republican legislature of course refused to pass any such law as this because there were too many political plums involved.
 It was also recommended that the county commissioners be elected by the voters of the county in the same manner as county sheriffs, but again this measure met the same fate as the minor court recommendations.
 Civil Service Report
 Civil service reform was advocated go that minor clerkships in various state offices would not be dependent upon the political whims of the party in power. A law of this character

Peters eyes fixed on Marion again.
She seemed to hesitate for an instant.
then her hand went swiftly to the
bodice Of her dress, and as swiftly fell
to her side once more, hiding itself in
the folds Of her skirt-~but not before
he had caught a glimpse of something
metallic in her hand as the light struck
upon It.
A queer smile twisted Peters lips. It
was the revolver he had given her. of
course. Something of his that gave her
courage and measure of reassuranCei !
But Aghar Pind. too had seen the
weapon, for now as they all passed in
through the entrance 10 what Aghar
Pind had said were Taial Alli's quarters,
the man spoke again.
The Miss Sahib need have no fear
as vet. for Taial ALL will not be here
for little while" he said softly. "And
before he comes l will have talk with
the Miss Sahib, for have much to say
to her But first must show this man
Rahim De here where to put the things
he carries and give him certain work
to do. Let the Miss Sahib SIT down and
rest herself. for she may have need of
much strength before the night is done.
l will return at once" He flung out a
curt command in the native tongue, and
motioned Peter to follow him.
And Peter followed.
He was conscious of a sense Of almost
staggering amaZement, of stark unreality,
as though, indeed, at the rubbing of a
lamp, a genie had transported him into
the realms of the Arabian Nights. Sud-
denly there was a great Quict--the rock
walls seemed to have blanketed all
sounds from without, for now that roar
