CAS- TAX TOTAL
S280,000.000
IN 1928
By E. E. DUFFY

Spending in excess of $2,000,000,-
900 for gasoline in 1928. motorists
also contributed more than $2SO,OOO.-
900 to the country's highway build
ing funds through the gasoline tax.
conservative estimates show, This
gas tax money was largely used for
constructing first class highways
which, happily, reduced car operat,
ing costs by an amount greater than
the entire gas tax outlay.
The gasoline tax rate, varying
throughout the country from to b
cents a gallon, averages 81 cents,
without this tax, which adds but
from one-eighth to one-third In
few instances, to the gasoline cost,
the mileage of hard pavements
would be far less than at present, for
the gas tax represents a large share
of the money available for highway
Improvement beyond the gravel
stage.
Although the total gas tax collec-
ton figure of $3.50, 900 900 seems like
an immense figure, it actually aver
ages less than six million dollars for
each State. 1t represents but a
small portion of the total annual
cost of motoring which has been
variously estimated from one billion
dollars up.
The gasoline tax is now well
stabilized as an equitable means for
collecting road money. In 1928 only
three gas tax changes were made,
both upward. while in 1927, 22
changes took place.
A Is per cent gain in the total
gas tax income is estimated for
1928 over 1927. A survey of the
figures indicates that although more
cars were in operation the gain for
the most part was due to increased
use of the automobile. The old be-
lief that the gas tax would lessen
travel has been dispelled as tabula-
tions have shown that motoring in
creases with the mileage OF i'm.
proved roads. largely made possible
by the tax,
The gasoline tax counteracts the
bad roads tax. A. E. Smith. execu-
tive director of the Wisconsin Good
Roads Association. recently clared
that the unimproved roads of his
State exacted a toll equivalent to a
gasoline, tax of 10 cents gallon
A 2-cent tax became effective in
Massachusetts, January. /. New
York and Illinois are the only States
without gas taxes, but in both, con
sideration is being given to adop-
ton of this method of taxation.
