Gasoline Tax Six Gents

From Oregon comes the as
founding suggestion that the
state gasoline tax of three cents
gallon be doubled-increased
TO six cents. Oregon. it APP
pears. wants more funds for
highway construction, and, as
in the past. those desiring such
funds look to the motorist and
his gasoline as a convent source
Of revenue.
This gasoline tax was original
ed in Oregon in 1919, at one cent
a gallon. The next biennial ses-
sion of the legislature-in 1921
doubled it. making two cents,
and the next legjslature-that of
1923 added another cent, for a
-otal of three. The legislature
soon meets again. and once
again will consider more taxa
ton.
What has happened in Oregon
has happened elsewhere on the
Pacific Coast. California adopt
ed gasoline tax two years ago.
The California legislature is
again in session, and it is pro-
posed that the tax be increased.
In 1921 the State of Washington
adopted one cent tax, and
made it two cents two years la
ter. Nevada adopted two cent
tax in 1923, and is now consider
ing an encrease. Arizona decid
ed on a one cent tax in 1921, and

The Wenatchee Sun editor
shouts he wants the Legislature
to ratify the Child Labor
amendment, take the highway
levy off of real estate, and pass
a County unit school bill''.
Well there is something wrong
with the first and last proposit
ions. The child labor amend
ment is running into the adult
class when it proposes to legilate
against adulas of 16 and l8 years
of age and would bar amhicious
young people from earning their
ways through school and getting
q higher education, while on the
other hand it will make loafers
of those not so abitious.
We favor the taking off of the
highway levy on real estate and
placing the burden of taxation
upon the ones who use the high
way the most and that is by
placing a higher revenue upon
gas.
We are not in favor of the
county unit system of high
school but are in favor Of the CO.
immunity unit system, of which
there are over 600 such schools in
the state today and are working
satisfactory today and gives the
community a better chance
to get high school education
than the county unit system.

before rulers and officials from
other shores. And he cannot do
it in penurious way.
So we as anation must lose his
services because we will not pay
one tenth the salary that any
business house would pay for
like service. We spend money
|'lavishly in this country in some
ways. butwe refuse to pay our
high officials even a small part
of what they would receive in
the employment of big business.
No wonder we often have to
but up with second rate men in
cffice. while the country is filled
with first class men who sell
their ability to private business.
No wonder our government does
not function with the smoothness
and efficiency of a private enter
prise.
Until we learn as a nation to
compete on an even salary basis
with business for the services of
high class men. we cannot ex-
pect our government-local. ma
tional. or state-to be as good as
we wish it to be. A good man
ought to be worth as much to
the government as he is to a
private business.

made it three cents in 1923.


No opportunity has. been lost
in any of these states to increase
gasoline taxes. The two-cent
intervals between revisions up
ward presumably exist only be-
cause the various legislatures
meet every two years. 1t is in
teresting to contemplate how
high taxes might be if legisla-
lures should meet annually.
The trend of events clearly in
dicates the dangerous lengths to
which this business Of gasoline
taxation may be carried. and the
grert burdens which may be
loaded upon the already heavily
taxed motorist and upon the
marketer of gasoline,
The original discussion of a
California gasoline tax two years
ago concerned one cent a gallon,
but when the law was adopted
the bill read two cents. Now
three cents is proposed. There
can be no guarantee that a future
legislature will not make it four
cents, or five or six--that is, no
guarantee except the fact that
the motoring public is no longer
apathetic about it's taxes and
that henceforth it will register
its objections, not only against
an increase of two or three cents
per gallon, but against any in
crease whatever.
The true measure of the ad-
visibility of any tax, aside from
the justice of its imposition, is
the necessity thereof. Which
brings up the point of whether
the existing law in California
will not produce the revenues
necessary for highway construct
ion. It has been estimated that
some 100000, 600 is needed for
all purposes-roughly, one-third
to the counties. one-third for
of old roads by the
state. and one-third to the state
for new roads-for a period OF
ten years. This is an average
of $50, 900, 600 annually. Present
are about $2l. 600, 900.
1t has been stated that there
must be new taxation tor new
and it is suggested that
by adding a cent to the gasoline
tax, $500 to the registratian fee,
and increasing the truck sur
charge by sc per cent, enough
can be raised.
1t would indeed seem apparent
that to bring $2l, 100000 up to-
$50, 900, 900 would demand in
creased taxation; but this act
ualiy does not follow. An i'm.
portant factor has been left out
of consideration. 1t is the great
increases in revenue which will
come from the normal increase
in registration of automobiles
and the consumption of gasoline.
