From the landing of twenty

HIGHWAYS ABSORB HALF OF
STATE TAXES

Phoenix, Ariz, January g.
Again the average citizen faces
the prospect of being taxed out
of house and home to maintain
the public-owned highways for
private corporations" said Blair
Coan, now winteripg 10 Phoenix,
editor and publisher of The
Spectator, that Washingto D.
c.. publication which pays major
attention OF national events, as
reviewed from the nations
capital.
This year taxes for road
work and gasoline will be con
slderabIy increased as the fleets
OF buses and trucks are gaining
daily 10 number. Every addition
to the number means more roads
to be repaired. This makes high
er property and gasoline taxes.
Ia some cases. as ia Arizona, the
state tax, together with the fed
eral tax is now up to six cents a
gallon. 1t seems that the tax
per gallon will soon equal the
cost of the product
"One way out of the dilemma
is for the states to regulate buses
and trucks. The legislatures of
forty states will soon be in ses
sion. The citizens of the states
must demand of their legislat.
ures relief from this gigantic tax
burden. Highway taxes now
amount to more than so per cent
of all the taxes raised in the
states. If the legislatures fail
to act. then groups of citizens
will have to appea! to the courts
for relief because the use of the
highways at the expense of tax
payers is illegal.
There is no case parallel to
this on record. Never before
have private corporations been
permitted to seize the property
of the public and hold it for their
own private gain. The farmer,
the merchant, and the motorist
who underworld the bond issues
to build our highways and who
are now being taxed to maintain
them have no more use o
them than the Hottentots. 1t is
we'll nigh impossible for a motor
ist to chance to drive on them.
The buses and trucks thunder
by sweeping everything off the
road and crowding the daring
automobilist into the ditch. This
is not an exaggeration but q fact
that can be attested by any of
those who have had the courage
to attempt to drive on our main
highways.
West Virginia has made q
ruling prohibiting the use of the
state highways by commercial
truck companies and as result
taxes in that state will soon be
lowered. The Unites States Su
preme Court has granted states
the authority to regulate buses
and trucks Oh their highways.
This gives the overburdened tax
payer hope. It also leads the
motorist to believe that eventual
~ the highways be constructed
will be turned back to him for
his use. Perhaps they will be
destroyed by the time the bond
issues for their construction
have been paid off. but be has
the satisfaction of knowing that
if be il compelled to rebuild them
they will not be destroyed q
second time by these heavy vehi
cles. It may be a costly lesson
to the taxpayer, but it is also
going to be costly lesson to the
congressman and senators who
have blocked the proper regula.
tiops of the national highways.
These incapable officials will be
retired to private life from which
environment they never should
have strayed."

Yours received regarding pro.

At the election in 1914 the
people of Arizona voted dry. I
had promised them that as their
Senator / would regard their
vote at the polls to be an instruc.

In 1928. when the prohibition
question was again prominent, I
stated that | had always regard.
ed the referendum votes of the
people of Arizoua as an instruc.
ton to me to vote dry and thSt I
would continue to carry out the
will Of the people as expressed
by their referendum votes and
would vote dry until they chang
ed their instructions at the polls.
In 1882 I voted wet. I regard
that vote as 9 mandate to me To
vote to submit the eighteenth
amendment for repeal. [ lave
madeit rule of my public life 90
keep my word with the people.
Ii | refused to keep my word
with the people of Arizona as
expressed at the polls,I would be
an unfaithful servant and un.
worthy of seat in the Senate.
This vote involves great prin.
ciple of the American Govern.
ment, and l can not and should
not override or ignore that prin.
ciple.
Until the people of Arizona
shall change their Instructions
by another referendum, I am in
honor compelled to vote to sub
init to the States the repeal of

to vote for such liberalization o.

ed to the States. AS q Demo,
cratic Senator it is therefore my
duty to vote for joint resolution
proposing q constitutional amend
ment to be submitted to repre-
sentative conventions in the
States for the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment.
AS a Senator from Arizona I
have always considered and still
consider the constitution of the
State of Arizona to be the best
indication of the will of the peo.
pie respecting how | should vote
on modification or retention ct
