Show Farmers Union Seeks Repeal of Tractor Gas Tax The Farmers Union in Utah will seek the repeal of gasoline taxes applied to gasoline used in farm tractors and machinery off the highways, Paul V. Kelly, director of the Utah-Southern Idaho Farmers Union announces. "The 'gasoline consumption tax is intended for highway purposes," Mr. Kelly 3aid. "It is obviously unfair un-fair to levy the tax against fuel used in tractors in the production of crops. "Nearly every state provides an exemption for such gasoline and several of our Farmer Union locals have already urged that, we propose pro-pose adequate legislation extending extend-ing the exemption of tax in this state. The proposal is equitable, and we shall follow the instructions from our locals." |
