BOOTLEG GAS MADE TARGET OF OJUSROUP Organized Dealers to Seek Audit, Prosecution by Attorney-General. Organized petroleum dealers are out again to drive the unorganized from the competitive field, it appeared today. They announced they will appeal to Governor Harry G. Leslie and Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor, to make a drive on gasoline bootleggers and what they term sellers of adulterated oils. As an opening gun, they state they will demand an audit of the gasoline tax collection books and appeal to Attorney General James appeal to Attorney-General James and collect back taxes due. One of the principal promoters of the program is Sam T. Hurd, secretary of the state code committee of the American Petroleum Institute.

He’s Well Known There Hurd is well known in the auditor's office, having come in on several occasions, Williamson said today, to appeal for lieniency when dealer members of his organization were caught in the net and asked to pay back tax which they had evaded. Commenting on the organization plan today, Williamson said: "We welcome aid from any one who comes in here with clean hands. But we don’t like the idea of persons asking leniency for some and prosecution for others. Our reports are made public each month and that organization knows about every gallon which we have on record. Doubted Bootlegging "Since I took office we have collected $1,000,000 more tax than over the same period last year, despite the depression. Last time he was in my office Hurd said he believed there was little or no bootlegging going on now.” Big oil companies composing the organization announcing the bootleg and purity campaign include the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, Shell Petroleum Corporation, Lincoln Oil Refining Company, Indiana Refining Company, Gaffill Oil Company of South Bend and the Midcontinent Petroleum Corporation of Terre Haute.
