Fortunately, Congress itself understood these
problems In enacting the latest temporary"
Federal gasoline tax increase in 1859, it pro-
vided that the tax would expire on June 3Oth,
1861. 1t further provided that other existing
highway-user taxes currently diverted to
non-highway purposes would then be allo-
Gated to the national highway program.

high gasoline taxes are necessary to pay for

Actually, this is not the case Out of every
highway-user tax dollar collected last year
by the Federal government, more than 400
actually went for eon-highVay purposes.
If all-or even a portion-of these diverted
taxes were applied to the highway program,
that program could move ahead rapidly -

Do High Taxes Defeat Their
Own Purpose7
Now experts warn that an excessive tax pro-
gram on basic commodity, such as gasoline,
can easily be self-defeating can actually
depress the rate of gasoline consumption
with consequent losses in tax revenues.
Indeed, indications are strong that the
motoring public is becoming increasingly
economy minded" The recent swing to
smaller cars seems to bear this out.

Forty-four firing points also
have been constructed from
which the various heavy wea-
pons will be fired. Hundreds of
acres of woodland have been
cleared to provide observation
of important areas.
A road more than five miles
long has been built within the
reservation to keep the heavy
tanks off state highways. At
points where tanks must cross
roads. portable rubber pads will
be used to protect the road sur
face.
