GAS TAX EXCEEDS

Way Against $28 Aver
age on Incomes
Daily DIApatcn Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel
~ II - Ii lt1k VIII.

Raleigh. June 29-Automobile own
crs who pay gasoline sales taxes
week in and week out. in the course OF
q year pay a larger aggregate amount
of taxes than is collected by the Fed
eral government from income taxs,
with the result that motorists IN the
final analysis is really the blg-money
taxpayer, it was pointed out here to-
day by Robert Grady Johnson, secre-
tary of the North Carolia Petroleum
Industrial Committee. Fewer than
100000 persons pay Federal income
taxes when they come due in March,
while more than 285O0. 900 pay state
and federal gasoline taxes every
month. The average income tax paid
by half of the income tax payers
amounts to only about $28 a year,
while each of the 28,500,000 motor
lists pays an average of $50 year IN
gasoline sales taxes, Johnson pointed
out.
1.-THE total of state and federal gas
oline sales taxes paid during 1880
amounted to $786,OOO,00O while the in
dividual income tax returns for that
wear amounted to only $654. 116,O6l,
Johnson said. "Of the nearly 3,OOO,OOO
income tax payers, about l,6OO,OOO or
SLIGHTLY more than half, made average
payments of only $28 each per year.
Yet the average payment in gasoline
taxes by the 28,50O 900 motorists was
$50 a year.
when we realize that approximate
lv 90 per cent of gasoline taxpayers
have income of $4,000 year or
less and yet pay gasoline sales taxes
amounting to an average of $50 year
we can see that these gasoline sales
taxes are in reality the poor mans
income taxes Many of these people
are dependent upon the use of their
automobiles or trucks to earn their
incomes, but the state and federal
governments still insist upon taxing
| the automobile and truck owners as
if they were wealthy and as if gaso-
line is a luxury.
The difference between income taxes
and gasoline taxes is that income tax
es are paid once year at an average
rate of per cent, while gasoline taxes
