Federal Gas Tax
May Be Repealed

Motorists of Arizona are hopeful
ly following news from the meetings
OF the House Ways and Means tax
subcommittee in Washington, which
is now studying the possibility of
repeating or reducing the federal
gasoline tax and other automotive
excise levieS, F. F. Foster, manager
of the Pacific Coast Petroleum In
dustries Committee, declared in Los
Angeles yesterday.
According to the announcement
made by Chairman Vinson of the
House committee, investigation OF
$3.50 100000 of miscellaneous and
nuisance taxes, enacted in 1882 as
temporary emergency tax measures,
will be undertaken to which have
proved unpopular since their incep-
ton.
elimination of the federal excise
taxes on automotive products would
Hledu d saving OF 81 Al 900 to Ari-
zona motorists, a reduction of 22.8
cent in the average motorists an
nual $53.25 automotive tax bill"
Mr.. Foster said. "In view of the fact
that the average motorist in this
state has an income of only 25 to
$50 week and must now work from
ten days to two weeks merely to pay
the annual taxes on the operation
of his car, there is obviously neeG
for automotive tax relief which
abolition of the nuisance taxes
would provide. Motorists would
have to work two days year less
to pay their automobile taxes.

A PECULIAR PEOPLE

Because Maine and Vermont voted for Landon
last year, and New Hampshire almost did 1t, and
no other state came anywhere near doing so, there
has been plenty of derisive comment. Those dumb,
back-number Yankees who saw cheering parade
pass by and let it pass!
As political bandnage that is well enough, but
perhaps the kidders are kidding themselves Just
four states in the union have refused to accept
WPA projects. their reasons being that in their
opinion these were unnecessary, futile, and waste
of money Three of the four are in New England
Other points are made by Frank Money in an ar
ticle in the American Mercury. They may be sized
ND in this statement 'New England received none
of the benefit payments on wheat and cotton ana
only small portion of the AAA corn-hog reduc-
ton subsidies Despite this, the New England agra
rian conquered the depression. He conquered 1t
because of his conception of farming"
His land is among the poorest in the country;
but he keeps on making living upon it, and
little more. The Yankee farm population is $780,
900 strong. Over 80 per cent of the farms IN New
England are owner-operated, as compared TO Az
per cent in the west north central grain states AS
Money puts it, New England was colonized by
people who came looking for homes; the West was
opened by adventures bent on the exploitation OF
the nations richest agricultural region" The yam
kee does not speculate IN puylng ana seiliis Ian"
land and therefore does not get put through the
wringer, as the farmers of Iowa and its neighoor
states were in 1920 and thereafter He divershes
his crops instead of putting all his eggs in one bas-
ket Raising nearly all his own food he practically
sells to himself instead of getting the worst OF 1t
by having to pay too much when harvests are scan
ty and having to sell for too little when they are
liberal ,..' Is -. .-.'
He lives pretty well on his hundred-aere farm,
and not at the expense of the government. When
ever howl for help is heard, it comes from the
Northumberland farms, or the two-thousand-acre
farms-from the lush prairie lands, not from rocky
New England. Cincinnati Times-Star.
