ISSUANCE OF INFORMATION

Lansing, Jan. 18---(By A. P.)-The
much discussed gasoline tax proposal
was laid before the legislature today
when Representative Joseph Warner
introduced a bill that would levy a
tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline
or gasoline substitutes used as fuel in
internal combustion engines. The
tax, its ,supporters declare, would
amount to about $7,000,000 annually.
Two-thirds of the amount raised
would be paid into the state treasury
to meet interest and principle on out-
standing highway bonds and one-third
used by the state highway department
for construction and maintenance.
The bill would attempt volunitary
collection from the wholesaler, at the
point of diistribution, rather than from
the filling station or at the point of
inspection. The secretary of state. or
his agents would be empowered at any
time to examine the books of oil com-
panies. All provisions are to be en-
forcible feverally, so that -if any one-
of them i;s found unconstitutional the
other will remain In force. PeIalty
provided are six months imprisonment
and a $100 fine.

ambassadors in Rome, to bring about
mediation between the French and
Germans are enirely premature, ac-
cording to British official opinon. Like-
wise it is held that all talk of invok-
ing action by the League of Nations
or the good offices of America are, for
the present moment, uselerss.
It is believed that no power can
diverit the French from a coercive
policy of obtaining reparations while
they are in their present state of
mind. Interference would be likelyI
only to delay the time when they are
to decide whether military methods
of exacting payment from. Germanyj
are a success or. a failure.
13r h See Little hope
The Britsh see little hope in the
situation, information reaching Down-I
ing street today indicating that the
German attitude is constantly hard-
ening and that German labor and
the Socialists are supporting the Ber-
lin government to a man.
