The State has consistently allotted more than half OF
It's total highwsy-user tax collection to the coun-
ties. This is almost 2h times the proportion turned
over from State-collected automotive taxes for the
country as a whole. and Is far in excess of the per-
centage shared with the counties of surrounding
states.
COMPARED WITH THE PROGRESS MADE IN
IMPROVING COUNTY ROADS, A THE
AMOUNT OF FUNDS TURNED OVER FROM
STATE-COLLECTED AUTOMOTfVE TAXES
BEEN EFFICIENTLY ADMINISTERED?
Accordinq TO U. s. Public Roads Admsniatratson
figures. Mississippi spent nearly S89.000.00000 on
county roads in the l0-Year period. 1882. With
the exception Of Alabama. this was a greater amount
than was expended on county roads by any other
neighboring state. This large expenditure OF funds
has not produced a corresponding Improvement In
Mississippis county roads. and the reason apparent
ly lies in excessive maintenance costs and poor ad-
ministration.
WHY ARE COUNTY ROAD MAINTENANCE,
COSTS SO MUCH HIGHER THAN IN OTHER
STATES? WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT 1T?
The General Legislature Investigation Committee
has the answer to this question. In l947. 1t reported.
that county road money 10 being wasted under the
present system of maintaining five road districts In
each county. The Committee report revealed that
road maintenance costs now vary among the ~
counties from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile. and recon-
mended that county roads be maintained as a unit.
rather than by separate districts. in order to elimi-
nate overlapping costs for equipment and materials.
If county road maintenance costs were reduced. more
funds could be devoted to building new farm-to-
market and other county roads.
TO WHAT EXTENT AM I, N AVERAGE MIS-
SISSIPPI MOTORIST, ALREADY OVER-TAXED?
Special automotive taxes and State sales taxes
amount to more than $4,000 per year. This Is the
sixth highest average automotive tax bill in the Ma
ton. and is far above the national averages. At the
same time. Mississippi citizens are less able to bear a
heavy load of taxation than are citizens OF other stat
es. This is shown by recent Bureau of Census figures |
which show that Mississippi ranked 48th among
the states in per capita income. with an average of
Ss5S.00 per person per year. The head OF an average
Mississippi family has a total income of ~S2.237.00
annually. and. If he owns a car or truck. about So
of his income is eaten up by special taxes on the
vehicle and its use.

AS A ROAD USE WHAT is Fl T OF THE
GASOLINE A l NOW PAY?
You pay 7hc on every gallon you buy t6c to the
State and lac to the Federal Government PLUS
a ~ State Sales Tax. This is a retail sales tax of
4l%-more than TWICE AS MUCH as the Federal
Government taxes you on such luxury items as
minks and sables and diamonds-that is. If you can
afford theml
in Harrison and Jackson Counties pay an
additional &c per gallon tax; those in Hancock County pay
an additional 3cD
IS N REASON WHY | SHOULD BE
K TO A A HIGHER GASOLINE TAX AT
THIS TIME?
MOI More money for road purposes is available dur
ing the ls47-ls5o period than Mississippi has ever
had in any comparable period. For instance. there
will be twice as much money for county roads from
State and Federal funds as in the four-Year period
preceding the war.
CAN THIS MoNEY-MY MoNEY-BE SPENT
WISELY?
That is doubtful. Continuing shortages of equip
ment. materials and manpower are still r~etarding
road construction. The American Road Builders As
ISOLATION itself estimates that lack of equipment will
reduce Is48 highway construction at least 30%. These
shortages COMOluco Will otioh EaAoc
a question of doubt as to how the enormous revenues
that will be available can be spent wisely and
economically.
HOW MUCH MONEY VII BE AVAILABLE FOR
