DEFENSE SILENT ABOUT STATE'S RECEIVER CASE. \ _■* ' Anderson Company Failed to Turn Over Gasoline Tax. Bji Times Special ANDERSON. Ind.. Dec. 21 Joseph F. Thompson, proprietor of the Thompson Oil Company of here, and his attorneys are not ing an action brought in Madison circuit court by Archie Bobbitt, auditor of state, to have the firm placed in receivership for non-pay-ment of gasoline tax money to the state. "There is nothing I care to say.” Thompson replied when asked for a statement concerning the financial status of the company and the failure of the firm to make regular monthly reports to the state auditor. His attorney was likewise reticent. The company was established April 20, 1928, at the start of a gasoline•price war in Madison county, 1$ and has since operated without making monthly reports or payments of gasoline tax to the auditor as required by an act of the 1923 legislature. This is the allegation of the complaint filed in circuit court by James M. Ogden, Indiana attorney-general, and it is not being Contested. “That is what the state says; We are saying nothing.” said Thompson's attorney. The complaint alleges the company owes the state approximately $12,500 in gasoline tax. an amount said to be in excess of the value of the property of the company. Judge Carl F. Morrow has appointed Herman Dolen, an employe of the auditor’s office, as receiver. The court entered an order authorizing the receiver to take charge of the assets of the company and to operate the business. Nothing has been said that would explain the situation whereby the company operated nearly two years without complying with the gasoline tax law. .
