Show LP TO THE MOTORIST. I Between 1920 and 1930 motor vehicle ve-hicle taxes increased 513 per cent principally due to the gas tax, which alone produces more than $500,000,-000 $500,000,-000 a year. This tax is constantly being increased, and in some states has actually been diverted to such purpose as fish hatcheries, oyster conservation, state buildings, property tax reduction, water supply systems, schools and so on. The gasoline tax is becoming class legislation of the most obnoxious kind. The motorists of the country must show that the old idea that "one cent more won't make any difference" is no longer true. |
