GAS TAX FOR ROADS"
SWEEPING COUNTRY
Every State VIII Have painless
Tax when Iaggards Fan into
Line, Says Road Bulletin.


Minnesota will be one of the
first states next to adopt the
painless" gas tax method of rails
ing part of its good roads funds,
automobile officials agree. For
that reason. solid support is being
urged for the gas tax amend
ment next November which will
only divert the receipts when
such a tax is levied from state
general expenses and put it into
better highways where it will
give road users biggest direct re-
turns. according to a ruling by
Attorney General Clifford l..
Hilton.
A recent gas tax survey Of the
United States follows:
No Gas Tax-Illinois. Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan. Minnesota
Missouri, Nebraska. New Jersey
New York, Ohio, Rhode Island
and Wisconsin.
l-Cent Gas Tax-Connecticut
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi
New Mexico. North Dakota
Texas. Vermont and Wyoming.
2-Cent Gas TaxAlabama, Col.
orado. Delaware. Idaho. Indiana,
Maine. Maryland, Massachusetts,,
Montana, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire. Oklahoma. Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Wash.
ington and West Virginia.
Scent Gas Tax-Arizona. Cali.
fornia, Florida. Georgia, North
Carolina, Oregon. South Carolina
and Virginia.
Utah has 2a-cent gas tax and
Arkansas Accent gas tax. and
Massachusetts, levy is subject to
referendum next November the
report adds.
OF the 10 states first to adopt
the gas tax, Is have since in
creased the rate in order to
secure a larger portion of the
road funds by that plan and IL
states adopted il last year. II is
predicted that within few years
a gas tax will be collected in
practically all states and further
that those having many motor
tourists will be next to adopt it.
The gas tax is popular, it is ex.
planned, because it is paid in
nickels and dimes at an average
of a little over 2 cents a gallon on
the gasoline that is put in the
auto tank at the filing station
Also, it permits the automobilist
from another state to pay some.
thing toward the upkeep of the
roads he uses.
