J.. S. MOTOR TAXES
. EXCEED ROAD BILL
Wallace Shows Only 45- Per
Cent of Receipts Go for
Better Highways.

Federal revenue derived from taxa
ton of motor vehicles and accessories
since 1917 has been more than twice
as great as the amount expended by
the federal government for road con-
struction, according to Secretary of
Agriculture wallace. speaking recent
1y before the bankers convention In
this city.
Federal aid is paid out of the gen.
eral funds of the Treasury, said
Secretary Wallace, and while it is
impossible to trace the disposition
of any particular dollar collected as
revenue, it is of interest to compare
some of the governments sources of
revenue with certain outlays which
the government makes.
Ever since 1917, Secretary Wallace
said, when the first war finance
measure was passed. the government
has been collecting a tax on the SELL
ing price of automobiles, motor
cycles, motor trucks, tires and auto
mobile accessories and also a tax
upon the use of passenger automo-
biles for hire. Automobiles and tires
and accessories bear a tax of per
cent, and motor trucks are taxed
per cent. Up to and including the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1873, the
federal government collected $685.
012,021 In taxes from these particular
sources. During the same period ex-
penditures of the federal government
on account of federal-aid highway
and forest road construction, together
with all administrative outlays,
amounted to but $264.7S2,216. or As
per cent of the amount collected di-
rectly as taxes from the users of our
roads and from those who are most
benefited by highway improvements.
Bear Double Burden.
The automobile revenues of the
government for the last fiscal year
ended June 30, 1929, were, in round
numbers, $1i6,000,000, and the with
drawals from the Treasury for fed
proXimately $72,000,00o, which indi
Gates clearly that the owners and
operators Of motor vehicles on our
double the entire federal expenditure
for roads.
In discussing methods by which the
states may raise money to match
federal-aid funds, Secretary Wallace
stated that they have the option of
the pay-as-yougo plan. the bonding
or deferred payment plan or COM
bination of the two. He stated that
it is generally accepted that mainte
nance of roads should be paid for out
of current funds, but that the choice
of a plan for raising construction
funds will depend upon the amount of
money to be raised. the tax policy of

you need them most.

then the nut is secured by a cotter
pin SO that 1t can't turn. There fs

But the brake rods have no such
protection. that's why you've got to
watch them.

is true Of the car in general. You

The surface pavement Is but q part
and, In fact, the least permanent part

needs to be informed that the pave
ment is always liable to show dis.

the really permanent portions OF
highway are the graded road bed,
which usually improves with years
under traffic; and the drainage struc-
lures. The grades remain intact, and
much even of the surfacing material
remains to form the basis Of the re-
newed surface.

Due regard TO good engineering and
good business In road construction
will maintain a ratio between the
cost of the pavement or the surfao-
ing and the more permanent portions
of an improved highway that VIII

axpa adiney tho tndeh edneSs they will

Mr.. Wallace believes that the back
bone of a states trunk line system
should be completed at once, the rate
of construction depending only on the
available supply of labor and ma
terials. He bases this conclusion on
the greatly increased use Of the
principal highways by automobile and
motor truck, a use so extensive, that
the people pay in their operating ex-
pense sum sufficient for adequate
highways whether they have them or
not-they pay, indeed, less II they
have the improved roads than If they
have them not.
Some of the most important ways
in which highways have a demon
strable earning capacity are the po-
tential savings in the cost of opera
ton. the maintenance and the depre-
citation of motor vehicles. 1t Is es-
timated that the annual fuel bill paid
10000. and the annual tire bill is
estimated at $450.ooO,000. The an
nual depreciation may be computed
on an estimated investment Of $S,767,-
100000 in motor vehicles. Although
these figures are estimates they are
reasonable indication of the mag
nitude of the financial side Of our
motor transport equipment. 1t Is
evident that the operating costs will
be affected materially by the general
improvement of the highways.

Smith seemed disappointed. He said
we might just as we'll have COM

 As the train picked up speed and left the dense masses of persons
 who followed it's slow progress through the city, it was more than five hours late.
