w. Is that enough?
M If not, let's look into the spe-'
cial taxes paid by trucks in
l949. In the United States, be-
sides the usual taxes paid also
by other business firms, special
truck taxes totaled ST, ,l6l 900,
600. This INSTRUMENTATION
total is 934o of the amount
spent by the 48 states for
building and maintaining pri-
mary state highways in l948.
4 Getting back closer to home, com.
mercial vehicles paid $54, TO-, 1893
for Ohio license plates and gasoline
taxes in 1850. That's one and a half
times as much as the state spent in
ll949 for new construction on the
state rural highway system. Also,
it's f,Uice the amount spent in 1919
for maintenance and repairs.

IHAT'S not a price tag you see
on this truck. Not that you'd be
blamed for thinking so. For
$l,3l2.47 is still lot of money to
q lot of people. s@ssseN 4
No, this $l,3l2.47 just represents
taxes -. the taxes paid in one year
by one certain truck. Not an imag-
mary truck but an actual truck
in regular service ON the highways
of Ohio. I
Nor is that just some special kind
of truck. It's merely conventional
truck of fairly large capacity. 4
Other trucks pay varying amounts
annually in highway use taxes :.
$1,000 81 900. Even the smaller
trucks pay 5000 to $70O in gasoline
and registration fees. "
Y I'm 1850, only 1890 of
the motor vehicles regis
tered in Ohio were trucks.
This small group paid
1880 of all Ohio highway
use taxes thanks to per-
truck fees like the
$i,312.47 mentioned above.
No wonder public opinion in
Ohio is rapidly making itself heard
in protest against current attempts
to soak" the essential trucking in-
dustry still more. Because almost
everything you buy is hauled by,
sruck, new taxes against trucks will
increase your cost of living.
y The average annual mileage per
truck in Ohio is 1866. A passenger
car averages 8,6o5. Many trucks get
only two or three miles per gallon
of gasoline, although the average
is six. Automobiles average 1886
miles per gallon. Obviously, trucks
pay a proportionately greater
amount of the gasoline tax col
lected.
Meanwhile, ON the federal side
of the ledger, Ohio trucks contrib
uted 38.19d, or $ll,577,378, of the
penny -and-a-half federal gasoline
tax. Not to mention large percent

who wound up with 1876.
Along about next December, the

Redskins BoIsterinq
Defense With Tight
Race Shaping Up
By Lewis r. Atchison

The Redskins future seemed g
little brighter today, after the New
York Giants 1918 tie with the
Steelers at Pittsburgh. The out
come forecast one of the tightest
divisional races since 1916 in the
National Football League, with
the Redskins still a potential title
contender.
Cleveland's defeat at San Fran
cisco, followed by the Giants tie,
left the Philadelphia Eagles with
the only victory in the opening
round in the American Confer
ence. Ties don't hurt a team, as
the title is decided on a percentage
basis. but they don't help. A Red
skins win over the Giants here
Sunday, in their home debut,
would further dampen the visitors
title hopes and would give the
Tribe a tremendous boost in
morale.
Coach Herman Ball began
working on the Tribes defenses
today, hopeful that George Buk-
sar, newlY-acquired from Detroit,
would nh the gap left BY Ed
Qulrk's injury. Buksar backs up
the line and also is an expert
placekicker. Backing up the line
will be sufficient, especially if be's
anywhefe near as good Gas ISuHrk.
Glnaers Escapes Criticism 3
While not happy with the Red
skins passing statistics from the
Lions game. Ball had no criticism
of Harry Gilmer. The slim quar-
terpack didn't have one of his good
days. and has 5udgment in certain
situations was questionable. Some
observers wers particularly critical
of Gilmer's failure to throw to
Hugh Taylor when the latter was
in the clear.
I've seen that happen to the
best Of passers, Herman said.
They get their minds set on a
certain play, concentrate on it to
the exclusion of everything else,
and often fail to see other men
who are wide open. Sammy Raugh
had the knack of spotting loose
man, but I've seen Sam miss 'em,
too, so I expect Harry to do it
once in awhile"
Gilmer probably will have trou-
bic with the Giants, whose famed
umbrella" pass defense earned
them the third best average in the
league last year. But Ball hopes
that the Tribes strong ground at
tack will help loosen up the
Giants secondary, paving the way
for some aerials. And this time
you may expect Gilmer to throw
to Taylor, and Gene Brito, as well
as to halfbacks.
Doctors Reports Awaited.
The Redskins ground strength
depends on doctors reports con-
corning several injured players.
The regular Monday scene has a
draft board overtone, with a squad
OF backs lining up for physical
examinations. A couple of line
men were included yesterday, but
all should be ready to face the
Giants. unless some unsuspected
damage is uncovered.

noted story teller, was due here
