We like Motor Vehicle

We like Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeekel's admonition to drivers to proceed slower at night than during the day. A fifty-mile- per r-hour speed at night when lights ordinarily illuminate highways not further than 200 feet in advance of the swiftly moving vehicle isn't safe at all. Nigh. driving is attended by many hazardG Per- hsps that's why we have so many crashes and near crashes. It should be the time when every driver exercises the most eau- tion.

STATE WAR ON
GAS 'LEGCERS
SEEN F|zzLING
custer of Democratic Aid
on LeSIie's Order, Net
Result So Far.

A political, rather than economic.
victory is the result, so far. of the
drive against gasoline bootleggers
launched three months ago by Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie.
The political victory consists in
retirement Of Marshall Williams,
Democratic state committee secre-
tary, from the state auditors pay
roll.
Auditor Floyd E. Wilkinson en-
ployed Williams on part-time legal
wrok in connection with gasoline
tax cases. But Leslie put Earl
Stroup, deputy attorney-general, on
the job to do some special probing
in connection with alleged tax eva
sion and Williams was retired.
Williamson, who made no pub
lie announcement Of Williams en-
ployment, made none of his retire
ment. Questioned today, he ex-
planned:
I knew, of course, the law pro-
vides the attorney-general's Office
shall be counsel in these gas tax
cases. But I had Williams doing
some special work. He completed
the job in about three months and
there was nothing else for him to
do"
Stroup is getting along fine with
n work." Williamson also asserted.
but just what has been done re-
mains a mystery. For, under the
present regime, name of gas tax
evaders are not made public.
Many are given an opportunity to
make back payments on the install
ment plan, after being caught, it
was charged by the committee
which sought Leslie's aid in the
matter.
This committee, headed by H. L.
Rauch of the Indian Refining Com
pany and composed of large oil
company representatives, is the In
diana branch of a nationwide
movement called the gas tax evasion
committee.
Their efforts in Illinois resulted
In conviction last week of Abe Allen,
operator Of the so-called Midway
Refining Company, who was en-
gagged in bootlegging gasoline from
Indiana into Illinois. Allen was
sentenced and fined $4,000.
His Indiana operations were re-
ported to the attorney-general's of
flee here more than two years ago,
according to Sam Hurd, secretary
of the Indiana code committee.
Nothing ever came Of it.
Allen once escaped conviction in
Illinois on the grounds he did not
have a dealers license and there
fore was not within the Jurisdiction
of the state, Hurd said.
