Show MOTORISTS IN REVOLT. It would seem to a logical mind that the motorist contributes his share of the cost of highways and streets when he pays a gas tax of three or more cents a gallon. But in some states he must pay tribute to towns as well. More than 100 municipalities, including includ-ing such Luge cities as St. Louis, Kansas City and New Orleans, are now levying municipal gas taxes on top of the state tax. It is argued that motor cars wear out streets, exactly as they wear out roads. So they do. The fair course of procedure and one that has been adopted in several states is to have a percentage of the state tax allocated allocat-ed to municipalities. However, the community gas tax, if it goes far enough, may be a good thing. It will stimulate the "revolt of the motorists" that has of late been gathering headway rapidly. The motorist mo-torist pays a license tax, a registra- ; tion tax, and in some cases a personal i property tax on his car. He pays a ! state gascline tax, which is often excessive. In some cases, some of the funds he has paid out, ostensibly for highways, have been used for other purposes. He has become the target for legislatures seeking ways and j means of raising money. ' I Unless motorists do something to' stop high gas taxes, it" 'will not be long until the tax is the larger part of the cost of gasoline. . . j |
