The GASOLINE
TAX RETURNS

Parkersburg, VIVA, May Ia
Figures on the New York gaso-
line tax returns for the years
1885 and 1886, released today by
the West Virginia Petroleum In
dustries Committee, form a tru-
ly remarkable picture of the dim
inishing returns of higher tax
rates on gasoline.
In 1885 the returns from a
per cent rate were approximate
ly $50. PSI. Highway users Of the
Emire State were given a twenty
five err cent reduction in 1896
and the gasoline tax yield for
the latter year was $55, 634, 600
or a loss Of total revenue amount
ing to only $4,000 in round
numbers.
Figured on per cent basis
a twenty five per cent rate reduC
ton brought only a one and ten
ton in revenue.
"The effective date of the re
duction having been July /, 1885
the higher rate had then beer
effective for six months of the
year 1885; therefore, it would be
reasonable to assume that hat
higher rate been effective fol
the per cent reduction on reven'
ue ocasione by the twenty five
per cent reuttion would have
been around two and two-tenth'
per cent" Secretary Henry II
Shinn added.

Charleston. VIVA. May ii
Sheriffs and deputies who use
their cars in the performance of
their duties may collect the gaso
line bill from the county courts
but the attorney general express
ed the opinion the same would
not apply to the county assess
Ors.
Attorney General Clarence w
Meadows told Prosecutor Samuel
w. Christie Of Mcdowell County
today.
"If sheriff or his deputy can
show to the satisfaction Of the
coAnty court that such expense
was an actual and necessary ex-
pense incurred = it would
seem the county court might pre-
perly issue warrants in payment
thereof"
But Of the assessor, Meadows
said: ...
1--WE can conceive of no ex
pense that might properly be in
Cured by an assessor other than
those in connection with the az
sessment Of property, which, VIC
believe, are presumed to be cover
ed by the salary of such officer
provided for"

ion.
