17. Pennsylvania's legislators today weighed a mass of argument for and against an additional tax on gasoline and new taxation of cigarettes and billboards as presented in bills now before the H0US2 ways and means committee of the special session. These taxation measures formed integral parts of Governor Plnchot's program to provide about $100,000,000 for the anticipated relief of 2,500,000 persons in the State. The bills proposed an extra two cents added to the three cent gasoline tax; a one cent stamp tax on every 10 cigarettes; and a levy of three cents a square foot on billboards. Arguments for all three bills were presented by Dr.

Clyde King, State secretary of revenue, at a series of public healings conducted by the House committee. Samuel 3. Lewis, State secretary of highways, spoke for the gaa tax plan, and Dr. George McFarland, Harrisburg, for the billboard levy. Representatives of automobile clubs, mercantile organizations, business enterprises and industries appeared in opposition to the tax proposals.

The supporters of the measures sustained! them as providing money badly needed for relief purposes; as offering the best means of raising the needed money because of the constitutional limitation on a State income tax; and as making possible material benefits to be enjoyed by the State for ycara to come. Lewis, in defending the plan to raise $35,000,000 in two years by the two cents added to the three cent gasoline tax, outlined a comprehensive road program on a year round basis on which "an unlimited amount of money" could be spent. Opponents of the measures generally followed the same line ot arguments. Objectors to the gasoline tax based their opposition on claims that an additional gas tax would send business to other States; would encourage smuggling of gasoline and would put many truck operators out of business. They further alleged that further taxation of motorists was unjust The cigarette tax opposition group pleaded that imposition of the tax and its enforcement would increase their overhead costs beyond profit, would force small dealers, out of business, would encourage purchasing of cigarettes vout of the State, and would through the "Informer clause" place a merchant at the mercy of an enemy.

They also doubted the practicality of collecting the tax money. Representatives of the outdoor advertising industry offered similar arguments as to loss of business and ruin of small dealers and predicted the income from the tax would fall far below the administration estimate of $500,000 annually. All three groups argued that the tax bills would ultimately Injure the very person the Governor's relief program proposed to assist, the poor through increasing his cost of living and of government through assessment and collection of the added taxation. The committee held all arguments under consideration tar discussion before reporting the measures back to the House for action. RAILROAD MAN KILLED Benjamin Harris, of Oneonta, N.
