will pay $4,000,000 more in gasoline taxes this year than they paid in 1935, according to Leland K. Fish-

back, Indianapolis, Indiana Petroleum Industries Committee secretary. Mr. Fishback, addressing an 11state conference on automotive taxation, declared: “Motorists contribute more tax money in special and general taxes to the State Treasury than any other group, despite the fact that as a class they are not wealthy, or even well off.”

New Car Owners Minority

Mr. Fishback said more than half of Indiana motorists earn less than $30 a week, and that most of them

never owned @ new car. “They ride an average of 40 eighthour days a year, much of that time being spent in going to and from work. The typical Indiana motorist must work one or two weeks to pay the taxes on his annual motor travel.”

He declared that Indiana’s special

Tm em— c— c— cm—— e—— ——

automotive taxes equal 25 to 50 pe cent of the average car value, Urges Low Rates He said: “Because so large a part of Indiana’s motorists are persons

of modest, or small, incomes, with

no great ability to pay high taxes, it is important that gasoline and other automotive taxes be kept at as low rates as possible. If gasoline taxes are too high, families with small incomes are unduly penalized, and the full enjoyment and comfort of motor transportation are denied to a substantial part of the motoring public. “Reasonable automotive tax rates tend to broaden automobile ownership and bring the comfort of motor transportation to families low in the income scale. Excessive automotive taxes, on the other hand, restrict automobile ownership.” !
