STATES MAINTAIN TAX ON
GACOTTNE

Gasoline taxes are popular with
the motoring public, according to a
survey which shows that since Jan
uary l, seven States have increased
the rate of taxation, says a state
ment by the Portland Cement AS
sociation. OF the forty-four States
adopting the gasoline tax not q
single one has repealed the measure,
or even lessened the rate.
Highway authorities point out
that the gasoline tax is just
method and that the motorist who
uses improved roads saves moro
money through lowered automobile
cost than he .expends in gas toll
charges. The statement continues
as follows,
TESTS conducted by the Iowa
State. College with a large number
of automobiles operating over diff
ferent types of roadways have
shown that it is 26 cents cheaper tc
operate a car over a concrete pave
ment than it is over earth roads
In driving 5000 miles, motorisi
then saves $3.50.
"If a two-eent gasoline tax is iE

would be SIS. Adding $40 or $50
license fee to the gas tax charge.
still gives a very large balance iL
favor of the motorist, highway
authorities declare.
Unfortunately all travel is not
over good pavements. However
gas tax revenues, together with
registration fees, are usually suf-
icient to float bond issues which
permit the paving of main thor
