ged and certified as to country of
origin. Much of the game now
entering this country under the ar
rangemcnt outlined comes from
China and is frozen solid. Mexico
has an enormous reserve of game.
This could be loaded on air
freighters in Rio Grande Valley
points and transported without
freezing to market points where 1t
would command a substantial
premium over frozen birds or veni-
son.
1T is also possible that some
high-priced varieties Of fish-pom-
pano for example-might be hand
led by air freight. These fish are
procured in the Gulf Of Mexico and
Caribbean Sea. It is alleged that
loss frequently attends their ship
ment by existing methods.
THE whole situation is most in
teresting and we are watching the
outcome of our joint investigation
with keen anticipation. While The
News is following up its survey
along the Lower Rio Grande our
committee is endeavoring to open
up sources of information in other
directions. In a few weeks we hope
to accumulate a formidable file on
the subject. This data will be use
full to meet the immediate require
ment for which it is being pre-
pared and will serve to answer sim

RED TAPE MAY
HALT REFUNDS
Users of Exempted Fuel
May Lose Rebates In
Legal Procedure

AUSTIN, July 26.-(P-The tedi-
UNI Of red tape probably will place
thousands Of dollars in the state
highway and school funds from gas
oline taxes that do not belong there.
The multitude OF forms which
must be filled out and the remit
lance Of a ST. filing fee each time
a claim is made for exempted taxes
will likely deter many users Of ex-
empted fuel from obtaining q re-
fund.
The comptroller's department now
is prepared to receive reports of ex-
emptions from the new f~our-cent
tax, Comptroller .. H. Terrell said
today.
Gasoline used for any purpose
other than that of propelling We
hicles on public roads, streets and
highways of Texas Is exempt from
taxation. Fuel used in farm trac-
tors, stationery engines. aircraft
and motorboatS is not taxable.
However, the tax must be paid
IN all gasoline, with refunds TO be

warrants for fuel that is exempted.
The tax Is levied directly OH whole
sale distributors but the consumer
is presumed to eventually bear the
burden of the tax.
The law does not make it easy for
the consumer to secure refunds on
exemptions. Comptroller Terrell
has outlined the necessary prnce-
dure for the exempted consumer as
follows:
The purchaser must fill out an in
voice at the time Of the purchase
giving the amount, price and pur-
pose for which the gasoline is to
be used. Before the 25tn Of the
month following purchase, the buy
er is required to report to the comp
troller the number of gallons bought
and the amount of refund expected
