J. E. ERICKSON.
From Great Falls Tribune
Helena, March 1.-THE report
having been circulated in several
parts of the state that the appro-
val of house bill $50, the highway
measure which will be submitted
to the people at a general election
May 5, would mean a 10-cent gas
tax. the highway commission in
session here today issued the fol
lowing definite statement:
"The passage Of the referendum
on house bill $50 will not result
in any increase Of the present s.
cent gas tax. The referendum
merely re-enacts the scent tax
and does not cause a duplication
of taxes or any increase. This Is
the unqualified opinion of the at
torneys who drew the easur and
is concurred in by the state board
of equalization, which has charge
and control of the collection of
the gas tax. This state board has
announced to the highway COM
mission that II the referendum
on house bill $50 carries their in
tention is to collect only a scent
gas tax thereafter"
From Record Herald (Helena)-
If the highway gas tax warrant
referendum is approved by the
people at the special election on
May S, it will not double the pres
ent five-cent gasoline tax, the
highway commission was informed
yesterday by the board of equali-
cation.
The question was brought about
by the passage early in the legis-
lative session of a bill extending
the five-cent tax to 1941, a COM
panion measure of the bill provid-
ing for the issuance of debentures
on anticipated tax receipts, which
was declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court. In the opinion
of the attorneys who drew the bill
the referendum will merely re-en-
act the five-cent tax and will not
canse a duplication of the levy.
If the referendum does not car
ry, the highway commission said,
but few contracts can be let this
year after the March and April
contracts are made, because oil tfe
state money involved in the emer-
gency r covered by the let
ting thus far this year.
