Would Wipe Out Travel Tax Powerful measures are being brought to play on congress to wipe cut the outmoded wartime travel tax wherein all who ride on public earners must pay a 15 per cent transportation tax. This discriminatory tax injures Utahs tourist income, as it tends to hold back thousands of tourists who would travel by rail, bus or plane during their summer vacation period. In fact the tax affects anyone who travels in business or emergency on a public carrier and retards the movement of vast numbers of people in low income brackets Set up as a policy measure during the war, the unfair tax penalizes folks who travel long distances, for the greater the cost of the transportation, the greater the penalty in taxes. All who oppose this measure are urged to write their congressman and urge its repeal, announces the Utah State Department of Publicity and Industrial Development. Chicago Railroad Fair The Chicago Railroad Fair, which caused so much attention and was such a huge success last year, will reopen June 25. Several additional lines will partic-;patthis season.
