VOLSTEAD OFFERS RIGID CHAN
GES IN ENFORCEMENT LAW

Andrew j., Volstead, father of the
Volstead act, pressed firmly on the
prohibition pinchers Thursday and
proposed new legal jaws, which, he
would clamp more tightly on Mime
sofa violators. 49, zg
The recommendation have been
drafted into bill by Attorney Gen
eral G. A. Youngquist and Chester B.
Wilson, assistant Attorney General,
for introduction in the state legisla-
ture. Volstead's provisions would
make possession of more than a quart
of intoxicating liquor punishable by
Jail sentence or fine and maintenance
of a liquor nuisance, now misde-
meanor, would be change to gross
misdemeanor.
Prof that liquor was kept for sale
or transportation would not be needed
to obtain conviction under the pro-
posed possession amendment and
making liquor nuisance gross mis-
demeanor would result in heavier
penalties upon conviction, said Young
quist.
The bill would also extend juris-
diction to all municipal courts in the
disposal of liquor law violations so
that penalties provided under the
state law would be imposed rather
than Jail terms or fines under NUM-
cipal ordinances.

Az CARS OF GAS
USED LAST YEAR
Increase Of 223,78O Gallons, or
80 Over 1927 Gasoline Con-
sumption i'm Redwood.

Sales of gasoline in Redwood coun-
ty during the year 1928 amounted
to 3,026,636 gallons according to sta
tistics given out by the state Bureau
of Oil Inspection. This is an in
crease of 223,780 gallons for Red
wood county. Needless to say, last
years consumption was the largest in
the history of the county as the trend
all over the county is towards larg-
er use of gasoline.
While the capacity of tank cars
vary from about 5000 gallons for
the smaller sized ones up to about
10000 gallons for the largest, TAX
ing 1880 gallons as the average the
inshipments of gasoline in this coun-
ty last year were Alt tank cars. The
year before the number of tank cars,
using the same average size, was 1856
cars.
The consumers of more than three
million gallons of gas in this county
last year paid in total of sec, 532.72
tax on the basis of 2 cents per gal
lon sales tax. About seven per cent
of this amount was refunded an gas
oline not used as motor fuel.
The figures of Brown county on
amount of gas consumed during 1928
were 3,486,984 gallons upon which
tax of $69,739 was paid.
The 81 counties of Minnesota used
approximately 310,589.373 gallons of
gasoline in 1923 on which the state
collected tax of 1921, 7S7.46, &C.
cording to tabulations made public
by Hjalmar Nilsson, state oil inspec-
tor.
Of the $6,211, 7S746 collected the
state highway fund received $685.
099.95, while the remaining $443,68-
ISL was refunded to purchaser who
did not use the gasoline in operating
vehicles over state highways.
This is the last gasoline tax in
the state which will find it's way en-
tire, or nearly entire, into the Golfers
of the State Highway department
for use on the state highways
throughout Minnesota.
Under the gasoline tax amendment
passed by the voters of the state in
the 1928 general election one-third of
the sum collected annually in the fu-
ture will be turned over to the State
Road and Bridge fund to be distribut-
ed among the various counties by the
State Allotment board composed of
the state highway commissioner, au-
ditor and treasurer.
Minnesota refunded $308,486.75 on
gas used for agricultural purposes
and 135,200.77 was refunded for gas
oline used in industrial pursuits
where proper certificates of claims
were presented.-Morgan Messenger.
