It should be obvious, therefore.
that we cannot even approach a

We have been told that the
small car is subsidizing the truck.
In Ohio an average truck pays as
much in one year in road taxes as
an average automobile would pay
in as years. The trucks are paying
more now than their equitable
share. Because of their small num-

out for punitive treatment to
which Senator Bartuek so glibly
lends his support.
The entire highway problem in
Ohio could be solved without any
any additional taxes if the federal
government would get out of the
field of motor vehicle taxation
and leave this field to the respec-
tive states. The present 2-cents
per gallon tax on gasoline levied
by the federal government plus
the other excise taxes on motor
vehicles, tires and parts, were ad-
opted as an emergency measure.
The 2-cent federal tax on gasoline
alone would amount to $44, ,OOO, 900
in Ohio. This amount would more
than satisfy our highway needs.
At their 1852 meeting in Hous-
ton, Texas, the State Governors
unanimously adopted a resolution
requesting the federal government
to get out of the field of gasoline
taxation.
There is in existence in this
state high-priced propaganda
machine, serving competitive
interest, and working overtime to
mislead our people, and thousands
and thousands of dollars are being
spent to that end.
I am suggesting that if this
energy were to be devoted to the
desires of the Governors Confer
ence our problems in Ohio would
be solved.
Gin my third article l will show
that if a weight-distance or tom
mile tax is passed it would break

year in the entire state" The
trucking industry doesn't condone
the violation of any law or regu
lation relative to the use of our
highways. The weight limitation
laws should be enforced, but ii
takes manpower, not new tax
law, to do it.
What the people of Ohio are
really concerned about is raising
additional money for highway pur-
poses from the highway users of
the state.
Any attempt to use the element
of weight as an implement for
collecting taxes is basically un-
sound because it is not measure
of use, and the proportionate cost
of road that is directly attribu-
table to weight constitutes a very
small part of the added cost of
the total road.
Weight has nothing to do with
the cost of right-of-way, drainage,
substructures of bridges, roadside
parks and Identification, guard
rails, direction signs, stop lights,
removal of snow and ice, admin
istration, and many other things
such as equipment that constitute
the major part of our highway cost.
Weight has to do only with that
portion of the highway represent
ing the pavement proper, and the

additional thickness necessary tc
sustain added weight constitutes
a very small portion of the total
cost. Additional widths of pave.
ments are attributable to speed
and the width of the vehicle. On
this basis passenger cars and
trucks are assumed to share equal
responsibility.
A standard design in Ohio's
main highways is concrete slab
nine inches thick. STANDARD axle
limit of $4,000 lbs.l The New Jer.
sey Turnpike was designed for an
axle load of $4,000 pounds and the
plans for that construction pro.
vided for 10-inch slab.
Our tire and vehicle manufac-
turers, of which Ohio is at or near
the top, have met this challenge.
They have compensated by adding
the necessary addition of wheels
and axles and sizes of tires to
make adequate allowance for add
ed weight, so that the big truck,
which we hear SO much about,
transmits less per square inch i'm
pact to the pavement than the
average automobile.
The tire industry, of which
Ohio is the mother, claims great
strides in tire design. The modern
balloon tire, now universally
used, is the equivalent of an es-
timated inch of thickness to the
pavement.
Our roads are supporting the
loads. The trouble exists in our
facilities not being wide enough,
especially on our vertical and hori-
Zontal curves.
It is estimated by some that
$35, 100000 in additional moneys
would be needed annually to bring
our roads to tolerable condition.
In the search for this money, it
is conceded that a one-cent add
itional tax on gasoline would be
a fair and equitable tax and would
be collected without any additional
cost to the state. This would
raise $22,OOO,OOO annually.
The balance Of $l3,OO0,O 900
would have to be raised from
some other source. In the search
for this money, there seems to be
unreasoning concentration upon
the trucking industry. l say this
concentration is unreasoning be-
cause l know the problem cannot
be solved by singing out this
small group for punitive action,
and that this would ultimately
lead to the destruction of Wit
ally important industry.
In 1851 Ohio had a total motor
registration of 3,183,720. Of this
number 807% were passenger
cars.
The trucking industry operates
on one of the narrowest profit
margins of any business in this
country. There is difference of
only about 5 per cent between
gross revenues and expenses. In
1851 the net revenue, before in
come taxes, of all the for-hire
truck lines subject to regulation
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission totaled $191, ,783, 900 for
