{ Without propaganda and prelim- mary work, the sussa .na that the legislature impose a sax of two cents a gallon on su8-1:ne which would be used exclusively in the maintenance of the public roads of he state has created q great senti- nent during the past ten days. Ten lays ago little was heard of the sub feet but now state o.hcials, incom- Ing officials and automobile and other organizations are appealing for { he tax.
 Governor Kilby has been in favor sof a gasoline tax throughout his administration. The legislature ot 1919 imposed a tax of one cent a gal lon but it was held to be invalid by the federal court. having been passed during the last five days of the session when the constitution says all revenue measures shall be delivered to the governor at least five days prior to final adjournment. The legislature of 1920 then enacted another gasoline tax law but limited the tax to one-twentieth of a cent a gallon. This produces only sufficient revenue to pay for the inspection Of the various gasoline products sold in Athe state.
 Kilby Favors Bill
 Governor Kilby has made no secret of the fact that he will recommend a gasolne tax of at least two cents a gallon in his general message to the legislature next Tuesday. He VIII appeal for the appropriation of the entire amount for the maintenance of the public road sS5tem which he believes cannot be properly main tained unless gasoline tax or similar tax is levied and devoted to this specific improvement work. Governor-elect Brandon also favors the levying of a gasoline tax and, ac- rordfng to information will make such a recommendation to the legis- lature in his first message.
 The outgoing and incoming gover- nors seem agreed that the tax should be at least two cents gallon. Rough estimates are that such tax would bring into the road maintenance fund about one million dollars year. The highway department believes this amount with other funds all ready reaching the department will he sufficient to maintain the roads as thev are being constructed and will permit the state to take over all the main roads in Alabama and put them in passable condition while awaiting the day when they may be replaced by hard d-surfaced highways,
 The interesting part of the quiet movement for the imposition of a gasoline tax is that those who will pay the tax, the owners of motor vehicles, are in favor of 1t. They realize the tax wouldg mean an In crease in the price of gasoline ana that, in this way, they would foot the bill, but those who have spoken also realize that while there would be an increase in their gas bills there would be a decrease In the repair bills and that broken springs would be reduced and the general discom- future which rides with them over the bumps in the roads would pc ameliorated.
