I New Proposal For {Highway Program Spread Tax Boost Among Road Users WASHINGTON (INHI.. — The chief foes of last year’s ’inultl-bil-lion-dollar highway program were reported favorably Inclined today toward a propoeal designed to spread tax increases aigong all road nsers. Rep. John Dempsey (D-N.M.) sponsor of a revised revenue plan, said his idea is winning support from trucking and tire associations. Proponents of the unsuccessful measure last year blamed trucking and tire industry lobbyists for defeat of the inter-state highway bill. Democratic leaders are now making a new effort to get a pay-as- i you go construction measure through the house. Dempsey, a member of the public works committee which dies road legislation, said his proposal alls for spending 40 billion dollars during the next 12 years to i improve present roads and to build 40.000 miles of superhighways. — The bill would increase gasoline, diesel, truck, bus and tire taxes. The New Mexico Democrat said the boosts would bring in an additioua.l 12 UUliou. 12S million dollars in revenue during the next 14 This, together with present receipts from the same sources, he said, could pay for the entire const ruction program. r { Dempsey’s bill proposes a tax in- 1 create of three and one-half cents ' ; a pound for all sizes of tires and j inner tubes. This wound mean a federal tax of about 90 cents for passenger car tires and about >3.50 for large truck tires. The new measure would also levy a one-cept a gallon tax boost for both gasoline and diesel fuel. Trade in * Good Town — Decatin

I Purdue Economist, Speaks Here Monday William Farris, extension economist from Purdue University, will speak on "Foreign trade, and Its implications to the American farmer,” at the meeting of the Decatur adult farmers class Monday evening.

William Journay, class instructor, said j I of next week's meeting, ‘As a rej stilt of this discussion, those atj tending should have a broader i knowledge of the various factors which influence foreign trade and i how we, as individuals, are directily associated with a world-wide ■ problem.” Retail Food Prices - X...: - - Likely Unchanged Chain Store Head WASHINGTON (INS) —The .president of the nation's largest chain of food stores said today there should be plentiful supplies available this year with retail prices as low as in 1955. Ralph W. Burger, president of “The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea company” (A & P), said tn a statement that food prices last year were one and one-half percent lower than in 1954 and near- ■ ly six percent below the post- 1 World War II peak reached in j 1952. He noted thiflb CSV over all cost ; of living last year was down only four-tenths of one percent. Burger said: “Present forecasts show that food production during the' new year will come close to the record 1955 level and that prices to consumers will remain about the same. With ‘ average i weather there should be adequate i food supplies to meet consumer i demand. “This is a record and ah out--1 Uwvlr- tHai iha fnzui ind >»ktrv fan i iuva j,awHfeggSD . < w.xx wotv v s *■’**.. :be proud of. It shows that the . orderly downward trend of food costs continued without inteyrup- ; tion in 1955. It also shows that the nations farmers and food disj trtbutors are meeting the heavier j food demands of our rapidly ex’landing population." .The A & P president warned, : however, that “if we are going to continue to hold the price line and at the same - time assure farmers of an adequate return, we must be alert to resist inflationary trendy developing within the industry.” Burger said that U. 8. families ate better in 1955 than eVer before and made heavier btfrchases i of what were once “luxury foods.” , He cited per capita meat consumption as one exainple, and said it exceeded 160 pounds last year. This was five percent more than in 1054 and the highest for any year on record since 1908. Burger said that the food industry is well aware of the surplus ! food problem that is worrying the i nation's farmers and added that ‘ It is trying to correct it through drives to move surpluses into consumption. j The industry is also trying, he said, to narrow the spread between farm and retail prices ithrough increasing thc...cffkicwy j of its own operations.
