bring about some measure OF
tax relief, it should start by
complete elimination of these
federal taxes on motorists. In
1886 our motorists paid 1884,
| 900 in federal gasoline taxes,
$4,000 in lubricating oil tax
es and $26O,0OO in other fed
eral automotive taxes, the to-
tai bill, including state taxes,
per vehicle being S$62.78 fol-
the year.
"Time was when the owner

Gated that the owner was a
man of wealth or earning a
substantial income. Govern
ment agencies, however, re
veal that the average motor
ist has an income in the lower
brackets. Only two out of
five motorists in the state
have ever purchased new cars.
The value Of the average auto
mobile has been estimated at
less than 5000. Subjecting
this class of citizen to exces-
sive taxation by state and fed
eral governments is unfair
and contrary to the sound
principles of taxation which
have prevailed for centuries.
"Our organization, repre-
senting every phase Of the pc
troleum industry of Delaware,
emphatically object to Con-
gress eliminating taxes on
certain luxuries and not re
