Gasoline Receipts
 Show Huge Increase
Taxes for Fiscal Year Largest Ever-Gain Over l933
 Estimated at $z76,8z2

Net gasoline tax receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894 were the largest ever certified to the state treasurer by the gasoline tax section aof the Motor Vehicle department, according to state- ment issued today by Commits sioner of Motor Vehicles, Michael A. Connor.
 They total $4,926,0 ,037.45 as com pared with $4,649,155.20 for the fiscal year ending June, 1883. This is an increase of $276,822.25 or 5.96 per cent over the previous year. Gross tax receipts reported to the treasurer before refunds were deducted amounted to $5,- 013,200.S6 for the year ending June, 1894, as compared with $4,- 652,874.56 for the year previous. This is an increase of $360,326.30 or TIA per cent over the previous year.
 The previous record for net gas- oline tax receipts was reported the year ending June 1892 when the figures reached $4,784,218.67.
 Tn his report today Commis- sioner Connor stated that on reor- Ol tllc SdSOllIlG SSCllOu in October 1893, a report submitted by the state treasurer indicated a total tax delinquency as of October 10 of $130.179.44. As of June 80, 1884, the tax delinquency had been reduced to $2S,571.24, decrease of $101, ,608.20, or 7S.05 per cent.
 Of the total amount still owed to the department, the commits sioner stated that $1S,546.84 was in the hands of the attorney gen. eral for collection, and $5,608.2S was involved in bankruptcy. The remainder, he said, represented current indebtedness which was collectible. He also stated that one item of $15,067.38 has been in- volved in litigation new pending before the United States district court of Connecticut. This partic- ular delinquency, he said, occurred in 1929.
 Of particular interest. the com missioner said. was the saving to the state of an additional $120,- 739.92 as result of change in the sttutes relative to tax on gaso- line used for non-taxable purposes.
 The general assembly, he stated, changed the law whereby all gas- oline except that sold to the United States government was taxed the usual two cent tax and that per- sons using it for nontaxable pur-

poses were required under oath to make application for refund, set ting forth the amount and uses to which the gasoline had been put, Previous to, the change in the law, exemptions were granted to con sumers who presented proof that the gasoline so purchased was to be used for nontaxable purposes.
 He said that for the year ending June, 1893, gasoline to the amount of $249,403.97 had been exempted, while under the present law re- funds 'and sales to the United States government had amounted to but $128,644.05, a reduction of 48.41 per cent.
 With the changei the law re- quiring refund on tax paid, the commissioner stated that in each instance applications for refund have been thoroughly investigated and that a very substnatial reduc- tion was made from the amount claimed. and the amount eventual

 The commissioner pointed out also that further change in the law which permitted licensed dis tributors to deduct from their gross tax one per cent for gallon age loss due to shrinkage and spillage and for the collection of the gasoline tax for the state had resulted in a return to these li- censed distributors of $50,266.32, the equivalent of 2.313,316 gallons.

lass, former New York City taxi
driver. will die at l o'clock tomor-
row morning in Arizona's lethal gas
chamber. He will be the fourth
person executed in the state by
gas.
Douglass was convicted of the
murder of Ralph Hart, aged pros
rector, after the body and that of
Hart's pardner were found buried in
shallow graves in northern Yuma
county. He was originally sentences
20 die on the day voted by the peo-
PIE to change the form of capitol
punishment in Arizona from hang
ing to lethal gas.
An appeal to the state supreme
court automatically stayed the ex-
ecution. The appeal was rejected
and the present date set.
On August IA, he appealed to the
state board of pardons and paroles
for a commutation of sentence. de-
claring he was innocent of the mur-
der Of Hart. His sister, Mrs. Bess
McQuiston CT Oakland, Calf, al
SO appeared before the board with
army discharge papers showing him
mentally deficient at the time he
was mustered out OF the service.
The board refused to commute the
death penalty.
Possibility of a sanitay hearing

warden of the prison, has the pow
er to request such hearing and he
declined.

him under the name Epic
meaning END poverty in Califor-
nia"-calls for dramatic revision OF
public relief policy despite his claim
that 1t is compatible with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's new deal"
Asked to explain the Epic" plan
in the fewest possible words, Sin
clair said:
"It proposes. briefly, to withdraw
the money element from unem-
ployment relief, resulting in light
er burden for the taxpayer and a
better condition for the unemploy-
ed. AS things are, the state is be-
ing driven into bankruptcy to pay
for direct relief of an inadequate
sort. Under the Epic plan the
state will rent from taX-and mort
gage-ridden owners, plots Of land
and idle factories and on them the
unemployed will grow and make
the necessities of life. The unem-
ployed will exchange script, the
script being worthless 10 anyone
except themselves. The unemploy-
ed thus will exist entirely outside
the normal fiscal structure, with
no loss TO anyone. Certainly the
unemployed now are of no value tc
merchants"
Regardless of whether Sinclair
can win the goyernorship and re-
gardless of whether, having won 1t
he can put his Epic" plan into
force, it remains that he ha:
