When Will the Tide Turn?

Right now the bugaboo of every govern ment, federal, state, and local, is suffi- cient revenue to meet costs of mainte- nance and expansion. AS result of this searching hither and thither of more attractive and less irkSonne means of raiS- ing revenue for the city, the state, and Uncle Sam we have imposed about every form of tax that could be devised. Some few years ago few brave individuals be- gan systematic effort to reduce taxes. To date their efforts have been almost fruitless. If they succeeded in putting across one plank of their platform some- thing else would be added to minimize 1t.
 We have seen that work out right here in Connecticut. We have been tax con- scious for quite few years. In fact, special commission set out to figure way of making 1t easier for person to acquire and hold property, such as real estate. The tax on land and buildings is the heaviest burden the taxpayer has today. It is one of the reasons why so many home owners have become mere rent payers. To offset the vast amount of revenue that community would ask of it's property owners experts sought to find some other means of enabling these com munitieS to pay thelr way.
 In the last decade or two we have found Q rich source of income in the automobile. First 1t was the automobile alone that brought in taxes. Then 1t was the oper- ator. Somebody saw possibilities in tax on gasoline sold. Today the posslbil- ities from this source are almost unlim- tied as more cars appears on the roads and more gasoline Is consumed in operation. The sale of cigarettes now returns this state a million dollars a year. It will mount higher than that in years to come. Liquor sales mean millions Corporation business taxes now are worth more than two million to Connecticut.
 All these new taxes, too, are being eaten up by expenses. The gasoline taxes have to be allocated to the building of roads, which is, of course, good thing Coming from motor vehicles operated on our highways 1t should be used for their maintenance and for new construction. The only unfortunate part of this is that streets suffer from passage of motor vehi- cles, but the cities and towns which main- tain these streets do not share In any part of the gasoline tax, registration fees or operators licenses. To keep up streets and build new ones cities and towns must pay for such work either by special taxes. appropriating money from anticipated taxes or by bond issues. There IS room for improvement here
