Motorists Want Their Money's Worth

An oki thing the taxpayer gets awfully tired of hearing is the one that goes: "If you want good roads, you have to pay for them." This is no news to the motorists of America. They have paid for just about even’ foot of lughway in existence, and for a Lot more that will never be built because the money has l>een spent on other things. In the past eight years the Federal government lias collected $34 billion in special highway user taxes, but onl.v $20.6 billion of that went into the Highway Trust Fund. The other $13.4 billion was spent on projects having no connection with roads.

On a statewide basis, Indian i passed the 1,000,000 pote mark for the first time in history as 1,008,523 ballots, or 42.11 pei cent of the 2,394,967 registered voters. This was the highest per cent voter participation ratio in the past decade for a primary. despite the fact that only slightly over two out of every five went to the polls. The election also had extra incentive with the preference vote and many areas had the all important school votes to help lure people to the polls.

During the next eight years motorists will pay $52.4 billion more in Federal highway user taxes, but only $32.7 billion will go to build highways. The other $19.7 billion will go into the general fund and from there, who knows? Some states also use large amounts of highway user taxes for non-highway purposes, the total state diversion totaling around S4OO million every year. It would be extremely difficult to convince most motorists that they should pay more gasoline taxes, cr any other highway user taxes, until all the money they now pay at both state and federal levels, is put to work building highways.
