Petitions asking that the law in
creasing the state gasoline tax from
three cents to four cents per gallon
be referred to the people for a refer
endum vote were rejected Friday by
Robert Byrne, secretary OF state.
Byrne said he refused to accept the
documents for filing because they
clearly did not comply with the law.
Approximately 5000 signatures were
contained on the petitions but in the
case of about 5000. the date Of sign
Ing and the addresses of the signers
obviously were attached by persons
other than the signers themselves,
Byrne said. When these names were
elimanted only 5000 legal signatures
were left on the petitions. whereas
the statutes require 1000 to refer a
law.
AS q result of Byrne's action, the
law by which the present three-cent
gasoline tax is increased to four cents

REPORTERS STATUS
UNDER Law RAISED
IN DISTRICT court
Valley City Case Will Test Cues.
ton Of When Newspapers
man Is on Duty

Valley City, N. D., June ls.-What
protection is given to q newspaper
reporter under the state workmen's
compensate act is the question pre-
sented to the Barnes county district
court in a Ease filed by Mrs. Mabel
Heinze against the State Workmen's
Compensation Bureau.
Mrs. Heinze, editor and publisher
of the Tower City Topics, q weekly
newspaper is asking compensation for
the death of her husband. Georg,
Heinze, who was killed In an auto
mobile accident Jan. "a, 1891.
Heinze, at the time of his death,
was employed by the Peoples Opinion
Publishing company here. 1t Is al
legged that he vas driving out int
the country to get a story for tina;
publication when his machine was
struck by a Northern Pacific railroad
passenger train. Heinze and hi:
companion, a printer in the employ
of the same newspaper, were killed.
Attorneys representing Mrs. Heinzc
will attempt to show that Heinze was
engaged in his official duties and that
he was therefore insured under thu
state insurance act. since his news
paper had paid a premium for such
protection.
The general rule governing the ad-
INSTABILITY of claims has been that
the accident in question must be sus-
tanned while the person killed or in
jured was engaged in his normal en-
ployment. In most cases the place
where the accident occurred has been
one of the strong determining fac
tors.
In the Heinze case. the plaintiff:
contends that, since a reporters work
may take him anywhere. he should
be protected while on duty, regardless
of whether that duty Is performed
during normal working hours or a!
other times.
The question never has been raised
before and is expected to set a pre-
cedent in disposing of similar cases
in the future.
