Walnut Stre«t. on Christmas "A more clear appreciation of the purpose and fairness of gasoline taxes as a means of modernizing and extending America's highway system. Is needed by every motorist," says W. H. Klein, vice-president of the Pennsylvania-Dixie Cement Corp.. who lias just returned from the annual meeting of the Portland Cement Association in Chicago 'There was much discussion of ga.-ollne taxes and other pha.ses of road economics." Klein .-aid, 'and out of It I gathered some ideas which I feel sliould b-^ impr. ised on every¬ one who drives a car. "The automobile costs money; so dies the track on which to drive It. I 0:ie without the other is quite usc- 1'-.i. Fortunately, the road .so taken j fnr grant'^d and lar!:i:i? the glitter of a new car, costs very little as I compared to the total cost of driv¬ ing the vehicle. I "A survey of the middlewest has j shown that to operate the average ' Imht car. .some 92 or more cents of the dollar are spent for routine costs, depreciation, fuel and oil. tire, in¬ surance, and parage. Only eight or le.is cents of the dollar are spent in state ga^ taxes and license fees— the money that builds good roads. "Spread over the 8.000 miles yearly traveled by the average motorist. ' the cost of the license fee and the ' gas tax amounts to less than one- half cent ivr mile of travel That is a small price to pay to give use and ' \ .line to the car j ¦Some not fully realizing the Im¬ portance of the road, refer to the I gas tax a- a sales tax It i.s not that in any sense of the word TUe gas I tax is actually a .service charge for ' the repair and improvement of hlgh- ] ways. Drivers pay it as they go. Conver.sply. It is a charge that can be dodaed by n-Jt going. But when pad. it is a ju^t contribution to the cause of better, safer travel. It is just l)ecau.se each individual's pay¬ ment Is gauged by the miles he tr.ivels. I "The gas tax is neither a soak-the- ^ rich nor a soak-the-poor tax It is a use tax that places all citizens I on an equal, yet not burdensome, basis of highway support. •Without a gas tax there would , be few good roads. Uttle traveling would be done, and the car would bo [of meager utility. j "The gas tax is a road building tool used by every state. It expands high¬ way Osage. It extends the benefits , of travel to all. It gives Jabs. It is a big factor in providing work for I .six million men and women in the automotive Industrv—work for about one-sixth of all the gainfully em¬ ployed. I "The gas tax whlcl» does all these Jobs, at rates generally within rea- ' sonable limits. Is neither unfair nor I burdensome." Mr and Mrs T Frank Leh and son Robert.
