Mitchell For COMMISSIONER OF LABOR 2nd PRIMARY, JULY 2nd "Many people who do not know the duties of this office are under the im pression that it is only a 'rubber stamp’ job, created for some selfish purpose, but there is a great need for a strong labor department in this State which will carry out the fundamental prin ! n cipies ior wmcn tne department created, and it now appears that dur ing the period of readjustment just ahead this department will be more important than ever. The office of Commissioner of Labor, having super vision of the State Bureau of Service for World War Veterans, North Caro lina Industrial Commission, the Child Welfare Commission and the Bureau of Standards and Statistics, requires a man of proven ability and tact. Over twenty years of successful business ac tivity and public contacts make me confident of my ability to successfully administer the duties of this office,” stated Mr. Mitchell.

There was a social slant to the battle, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth encour aging the opposition, so ’twas re- ^ ported. 1 ANNUAL LOSS OF STATES EXCEEDS SIXTY MILLIONS American Petroleum In stitute And States Wag ing War In Effort To End Nuisance. The big city bootlegger who does his racketeering in liquor has an apt imitator in a country cousin, the bootlegger of gasoline. The gasoline bootlegger has built up such an extensive racket that the American petroleum institute has joined various states in a fight against these lawbreakers. State levying gasoline taxes ranging from 2 to 7 cents a gallon, collect about $500,000,000 annually from this form of revenue. This figure would be increased by $60,000,000, it is estimated, if the gasoline bootleg ger were not operating. The machinations of this racketeer ing ring involves a producer, a ship per and a selling agent. Surreptitious shipment and substitution are the main trade secrets of the gangs. Be cause gasoline is a legal product, in contrast with the unlawful sale of li quor, the gasoline "legger” has more opportunities of pawning off his wares. Several ways are used in getting rid of the gas without paying tax. Some times the illegal dealer buys gasoline in one state and trucks it across state lines after dark, selling to a dishonest filling station operator and splitting the tax with him. Again he may buy from the refinery for apparent ship ment out of the state and then di vert his purchase to filling stations within thp st;ifp Another way is to resort to false bills of lading or false returns for tax purposes. The result of any of these operations is the same—the dishonest filling station operator has gasoline to sell which the taxing authorities know nothing about. In Oklahoma these illegal operators "gipped” rhe state out of more than $2,041,000 in 22 months. Illinois re ports a loss of from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 a year. Other states report large losses. This loss directly reverts back to the motorist. About 95 per cent of the gasoline tax collections are used for construction of state and county roads. With this loss in revenue the motorist whose purchase of cut-price gasoline keeps the bootlegger in bus iness, is hit directly. In many cases gasoline bootleggers "cut” their product something in the manner of the liquor bootlegger. In this practice the motorist loses, be cause the addition of kerosene and other non-taxable products are said to be injurious to the modern car. The battle campaign of the states and the American petroleum institute, as revealed by Paul E. Hadlick, secre tary of the marketing division, has experienced creditable success against the illegal sale of gasoline in the past few months. Complete collection of revenue is only one objective of the campaign. It is hoped by efficient and thorough enforcement of adequate statutes, to protect motorists from damage to their cars by inferior grades of fuel. By running these "leggers” to earth, it is thought that the demor alization of gasoline markets by the sales of tax free fuels will end, and — | SUPERIOR INVALID CAR SERVICE | MEMBER BY INVITATION Haven of Comfort | We offer our modern, completely equipped i | establishment as a haven of comfort and peace for the bereaved.
