OIL INDUSTRY WILL
RESIST DIVERSION
Last Cog Fitted Into Poten-
TALLY Powerful Machine
To Save Funds
Daily Dispatch Bureau.

Raleigh, April 1.-The last cog was
Tilted into a potentially powerful anti
diversion machine" last night with
formation here of the Wake County
petroleum Industries Committee, the
lOlst unit of its kind in the State, or
ganlzed or revitalized by State Sena-
tor S. Gilmer Spargar, secretary of
the North Carolina Petroleum Indus
tries Committee.
There is now a local petroleum in
dustries committee in every county
of North Carolina, Mr.. Sparger said
with two such in Guilford county, one
in High Point, the other in Green's
boro. Work of organizing the local
groups was started by Mr.. Spargec
last November 4, and since tAat time
he has visited every county in the
State in the interests of his plan.
Whether or not this oil organization
will later take up other subjects Is
something only the future can tell, but
the only announced drive it is set to
conduct is for enactment ty the 1899
General Assembly of a resolution en-
abling the people to vote on a consti
tutional amendment forever prohibit
! ing diversion of highway funds to
other purposes.
! Even this campaign will be one of
education" Mr.. Sparger said rather
than of pressure" not to say coercion
The petroleum industries committees
plan is to acquaint all voters of the
State with the diversion problem
which in this State amounts to moth
ing more or less than the use for gen
eral fund purposes of approximately
] ten per cent of gasoline tax receipts
| Sparger declared
In addition to the oil industry as g.
whole, there are numerous highway
user groups affiliated in the anti-di
version drive. Among them Mr.. Spar
ger listed the North Carolina Grange
the Rural Letter Carriers Association,
| the North Carolina branch of the Am
| erican Automobile Association, tn,
North Carolina Automobile Dealers
| Association, and the North Carolina
Truckers Association.
The State petroleum industries Sec
rotary says he is confident that an
anti-diversion amendment can be put
through the legislature and approves,
by the people if the proposed cam
paign of education is pressed vigor-
ously.
