NEW TAMS|
WHERE THEY HIT YOlj-AND HOW
WHERE THEY HIT YOU-AND Howl

Since the taxes on gasoline and
lubricating oil are manufacturers
taxes, Uncle Sam collects them from
the producer, refiner or importer. The
latter, however, passes them on down
the line to, the motoriSt.
If the one-cent federal gasoline tax
had been in effect when Lindbergh
made his flight from New York to
Paris in 1927, Indy would have had
to pay Uncle Sam $4.51 since he
bought ISL gallons for his trip.
The federal gasoline tax is in ad-
dition to the various state gasoline
taxes, which in some cases is as high
as cents gallon. Such state gaso-
line taxes cost the nations motorists
about $500,000,000 a year, according to
the latest available figures. To this
total, the $150,000,000 federal gaso-
line tax must now be added. &
There is also a 4 per cent tax on
the transportation of oil by pipe line,
expected to yield $8,000.00O.
There is also a new tariff rate on
imported oil at "a cent gallon. This
new import tariff also includes coal
and coke at 10 cents per 100 pounds,
lumber at So per 1000 feet and copper
at 4 cents pound. Total revenue

Engineers Defended
By Alvanley Johnston

Cleveland, July 27.-(AP)-Th e
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers was defended by its president
Wednesday from a charge that many
of the engineers are working over
time and thus causing unemployment
among thousands of firemen and
enginemen.
The charge, made Tuesday by
David B. Robertson, president OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, is exaggerated"
said Alvanley Johnston, grand chief
of the engineers.
Johnston admitted many firemen
and enginemen had lost their Jobs to
the engineers, but said the engineers
were not working go days" a month,
as was charged by Robertson.
The situation between the two
brotherhoods arises from a seniority
employment ranking given the engi-
neers. Thus, when an engineer can
not get employment in his regular
capacity, he merely goes back to fir
ing the engine instead of handling
the throttle. Regular firemen, thus
supplanted, may find themselves out
of a job.

Articles Sold to N. ID.
Not Subject to Tax

The new federal taxes do not apply
to the sale of any article to the state
or its political subdivisions, according
to Hard D. Shaft, assistant attorney
general.
Shaft, in a letter to T. G. Ploma-
sen. maintenance engineer for the
state highway department. said the
internal revenue service of the treas
ury department has ruled that the
federal tax does not attach to articles
used in the exercise of an essential
government function provided that
such sales are made direct by the
manufacturer to the state or political
subdivisions without any intervening
sale to dealers or distributors.
1T therefore appears" Shaft said,
that no tax will be collected by the
federal government upon lubricating
oils, crude petroleum and its liquid
derivatives, tires and inner tubes,
automobiles and accessories or gaso-
line sold to the state of North Dakota
purchased direct from manufacturers,
or upon telephone conversations, tele-
graph dispatches and messages, con-
veyances or checks of the state Of
North Dakota.
