GASOLINE TAX BILLS
Still IN COMMITTEE

No action was taken OH three gas
oline tax bills introduced In the
North Dakota senate following a two
hour hearing on the measures by a
subcommittee Wednesday night. The
committee expects to 60 into private
session today for final consideration
of the measures.
j. j. Ermatinger. secretary Of the
state highway commission. appeared
before the committee on behalf Of a
bill to turn all Of threc-cent tax
to the highway department. Senator
Watt. Cass county. urged that one
cent should 60 to the counties and
supported his bill which makes such
provision.
Ermatinger contcnded that the
state road program could be worked
out and maintained better by the
highway commission than by indi-
vidual effort of counties. Watt de-
clared that farmers need roads to
get from their farms to state high
ways, that a portion Of the tax should
60 back to them for that purpose and
that he would be against the high
way commission getting more money
until it shows that 1t can spend it
better"

NIT deduction from price of gasoline

after that they were participating in
one Of the great hours Of history
George III had instituted his famous
writs of assistance, providing blanket
warrants for search and seizure by
which he hoped to stop smuggling and
so enforce taxation without representa-

vened to hear argument on the issuance
of a writ.
Full-length portraits Of Charles II

an equal poise, but the aSsemblage
nevertheless felt a current Of deep feel

Among those present was John

writs of assistance breathed into the
nation the breath of life. Then and
there was the first scene in the first
acts of opposition to the arbitrary
claims of Great Britain. Then and

Why did the speech Of James Otis

Secondly, they were not yet so crystal

on the part of Great Britain would have

writs, thus becoming a public hero.
Finally he was great orator. On this
