PAVING POCKETS AND
PAVING HIGHWAYS

More often than not, agitation for
higher road taxes is device for
paving pockets as we'll as highways.
This has been evident in several
states during the current legisla-
tive sessions where certain inter-
ests that stand to acquire lucrative
financial gains through limitless
highway spending have been as
busy as the proverbial bee.
In the As legislatures which have
convened in regular session this
year some 81 bills have been intro
duced that would impose upon the
Nations highway users an addi-
tional tax burden through increas-
! ing state levies on motor fuel.
With but few exceptions. the pro-
posed legislation has been osten-
sibly designed to furnish additional
millions of dollars for alleged
highway requirements.
/. True, many requests for road
construction and improvement are
, predicated on sincere motives and
should be granted with the least
, possible delay. After years of war
during which all but essential re-
, pairs were let to slide. it is only
, natural that there are many Sec
tions of the country's highway sys-
2 tenn on which money can be judici-
: ously spent. But. although it has
e been established and re-establisheG
l that every state has ample funds tC
r meet these and other requirements
there are those who would capital
e ize on this situation for purely sci
e fish reasons.
Out of the legitimate requests fol
: repairs and improvements ha'
: grown what amounts to this day
{ most serious threat to the future o
: motorized transportation. In tn
8 deft hands of skilled promotiona
> lgroups the desire of the citizenr,
for adequate roads is magnified an
