New York, March 80 (CANO-
Charging that the action of a Re-
publican dominated committee of
the State Assembly in killink all
INSTRUMENTATION bills without
even waiting for the completion of
a public hearing on the measures
was nothing short of a scandal"
Stanley M. Isaac Borough Presi-
dent of Manhattan, this week urged
a continued fight for the renewal of
such legislation.
Isaacs, speaking over the NUM-
cipal Radio Station WNYC, under
the auspices of the National Ur-
ban league, detailed the miseries
and calumnies inflicted upon the
Negro people struck particularly
at the policies of discrimination
in practice in public utilities and
other agencies operating under
city franchises.
In his radio talk, Isaacs pointed
cut that "half of Harlem lives on
a family income of SIC or less,
and less than Is per cent live an
$1,000 or more. In short, the bulk
incomes far below the minimum of
of the people of Harlem exist on
decency set by the U. s. Depart
ment of Labor"

To Be Held in June

At the invitation of the National
Association of Better Business Blu
reaus, over 90 important organi-
cations have signified their inten-
ton to become a part of the Bust
ess-Consumer Relations Confer
ence on Advertising and selling
practices that will be held in Buff
falo, New York, June 5 and 6,
1899. This conference will be the
first of all its kind even to be held
and will be a very forward move
ment in b~ettering the conditions
prevailing in advertising and sell

Trade associations, consumer or
CARNATIONS, educational institu-
tions and organizations, and gov
eminent groups will all be repre-
sented to cooperate in dealing with
the major problems of each group
in regard to advertising and sell
ing practices, The trade associa-
ton group includes those in the
merchandise, financial, and service
fields, as well as those represent
ing the different irons of distribu-
tions, such as mail order, chain
stores, independent retailers, direct
selling organizations, and others.
With the exception of local
groups in or near Buffalo, only
organizations active on a nation
wide scale in the United States OF
Canada were invited to become CO.
operating organizations. Various
regional, state and local organiza-
tions, as well as various consumer
educational and government
groups unable to be listed as coop
Grating organizations, have indi-
Gated their intention of being rep
resented by delebates at the Con.
ference. 1t is also expected that q
few more names will be added to
the list as other organizations act

highway system as well as appro-
priately $1,452,000 less work on
county roads during a biennium
due to exemptions alone"
He continued:
mo effective method of policing
or administering gasoline tax
exemptions has been fuond. In all
instances where gasoline tax
exemptions has been provided for,
fragrant abuse has resulted. To at
tempt to police or control these
abuses would require a large new
bureau and a small army of men,
and even then it Is doubtful if
satisfactory results could be OBJ
tanned. 1t is my understanding that
Kansas has approximately Isl en-
ployees in the gasoline tax exemp-
ton bureau.
"The demand for new c~onstruc-
ton and for additional improve
ment on already constructed high
ways is far greater at the present
time than the ability to finance
the construction that would be re-
CURED if all demands were to be
met.
"This applies to primary high
ways and feeder roads as we'll"
"And reduction in finances such
as would result from gasoline tax
exemptions would, of course have
the effect of making, it impossi-
bio to even a greater degree than
at present to meet the demands of
tho public"

State Engineer
Warns Nebraska Of
Gasoline Tax Ex-
emptiOn Evils

Lincoln, Nebr., March 80 (Spec-
ial)-A warning against passage
of L. B. No. IL which would ex-
empt from taxation that fuel pur-
chase and intended for use in oper-
ating tractors and combines for
strictly agricultural purposes was
vetoed today by State Engineer
A C. Tilley.
"If exemption is granted to any
group of non-highway gasoline
users, it follows that demand for
exemptins of all other groups of
non-hghway gasoline users will
result" Mr.. Tittley declared
He pointed out that the plan
failed to work satisfactorily in
several states where the law was
in effect in years past and cited
tho un~desirability of the program
now in effect in Nebraska's neigh
boring states.
He referred to the following
statement made in March, 1885 by
the Kansas State Planning board
in a release entitled Statistical
Analysis of Gasoline Tax Exemp-
TONS"
The Kansas State Department
of Inspection and Registration dis
covered and prosecuted evasions
and false or illegal exemption
claims in 1888 in Thomas County
and others. Routine county hear
ings have failed, however, to alter
the situation materially"
"There is more than a suspion
that many claimed exemptions
benefit unscruplous gasoline rather
than the persons whose names
appear on exemption statements"
Mr.. Tilley pointed out that a
gasoline tax exemption measure
was passed by the Nebraska legis-
iature of 1925, "And the experience
was of such an unsatisfactory ma
ture that the act was repealed at
the following session"
obviously, any law providing
for gasoline tax exemption will
reduce the amount of revenue a.
valuable for highway construction.
Based On the assumption that the
exemptions has been found. In al
five netghboring states-or21 .96
per cent-it would mean a reduct-
ion in highway finances of appro-
ximately $4,275,0 900 per biennium,"
he asserted.
"Of this $4,275 900 reduction, ap-
p~roximately $2,850,O00 would be a
reduction in the states share of
gasoline tax revenue, and since
this reduction would affect Nebras-
ka's ability to match Federal Aid
in direct proportion, it would mean
that there would be approximately
$4,000 worth less construction
