SOUGHT
IN GASOLINE TAXES
American Motorists Association
Opposes Also Diversion
of Revenue.

Elimination of the Federal emerg-
ency gasoline tax, opposition to any in
creases in the several States gasoline
or license revenues, and vigorous re-
slstence against all moves to divert
motor vehicle revenues to purposes
other than highway construction and
maintenance is the 1888 legislative pro-
gram OF the American Motorists Asso-
citation.
This platform was announced by
Thomas j. Keefe, general manager of
the American Motorists Association, in
a statement issued this week. The as
Sociation Is preparing itself for one Of
the most difficult battles in its history
to defend motorists from increased tax
burdens and motor vehicle fund diver
sions In the coming sessions Of the
State Legislatures. --
"The motor vehicle is the most heav.
lily taxed piece of property in the
United States and the fuel upon which
it operates is the most heavily taxed
commodity" Keefe stated. Motor
vehicle taxes have already reached a
point where diminishing returns have
resulted. The imposition of additional
leves would be disastrous. Extra mo-
tor vehicle taxes would be a crushing
burden for those who can afford to
drive and it would force thousands to
retire their cars. Just as the Scent
postage imposition brought less rev.
enue than the 2 cents per letter rate,
50 has heavier motor vehicle taxes
brought less return"
