Fithian likes energy plan, will fight gasoline tax

WASHINGTON - Congressman Floyd Fithian voiced qualified support for President Carter’s energy program Thursday, while vowing to fight the proposed gasoline tax. “We’ve been presented with a courageous and wide-ranging program which could change our wasteful energy use habits,” Fithian said. "I, for one. think the President has put forward a tough, fair policy.” 1 He added. “This must be a bleak day for the oil companies and special-interest groups, but I think it’s a good day for the American people.” Fithian was sharply critical, however, of Carter’s proposed standby tax on gasoline, and he indicated reservations about the oil pricing formula advanced by Carter. The Hoosier lawmaker co-authored a successful amendment in 1975 to block a 23 cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline. “Year after year studies show that higher gasoline prices do not reduce consumption.” he said. "This would just force families who have to use their cars a lot — such as rural and farm families — to shoulder an unfairly heavy tax burden. I will do what I can to block the gasoline tax proposal.” Fithian said that he is concerned about Carter’s proposal to raise the price of domestic crude oil to world market prices through additional taxes. That could boost retail petroleum prices, he noted, and unfairly cost some consumers more than „ others, despite Carter’s accompanying per capita tax rebate proposal. “My general principle is that our energy policies should attempt to treat all Americans equally, as far as possible,” Fithian said. “People in one group shouldn’t have to pay more than another unless they are wasting energy. I will need to study the president’s plan

Trustee Ed Pratt. However, final plans will be discussed at a meeting Thursday. April 28, 7 p.m., in the county courthouse basement. Pratt said the four townships will probably need two EMS ambulances, one staffed full-time with professional medical

carefully before passing judgment on the oil pricing formula.’’ Fithian praised Carter, however, for his stance encouraging industrial conversion to coal. “We’ve relied for too long on our least plentiful energy sources — oil and natural gas — while virtually ignoring a 450-year supply of coal right beneath our feet.” Fithian observed. “Converting industries and utilities to coal just makes sense. ” Fithian also voiced strong support for Carter’s utility rate reform proposals and the president’s plan to promote solar energy use and insulation through tax credits. Those programs are similar to legislation Fithian has cosponsored in the house. “We just must begin to make more use of the fuels which we have available, and we must end our dependence on scarce and imported fuels.” Fithian said. “Mr. Carter has given us a good blueprint to do this.” The second district representative said he hopes Congress will begin work immediately on Carter’s proposals.

emergency technicians. Questions still to be answered by the four-township coalition include how many EMS units to obtain, when to consider applications for an EMS director, where to locate the ambulances and staffing the vehicles. Funding for the system is proposed to be non-profit, selfsustaining not requiring tax funding. Appointing a director for the EMS coalition will be up to the four township trustees with each trustee nominating an applicant. One ambulance will probably be based in a densely populated area, Pratt suggested. R. Mark Royce, county EMS coordinator, added that auxiliary service may be necessary in Etna Township. An original response system may be developed in Etna Green to assist victims until regular ambulance service can arrive. The response time from Warsaw to Etna Green is 11 minutes which Royce called too slow. Royce is helping the coalition with its plans. SB A director to speak * William F. Miller, Indiana director of the US small business administration, will be the featured speaker at the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns meeting Thursday, April 28, at the Warsaw Country Club. The meeting will be at 11:30 that day. Miller will speak on the Local Development Corporation, an SB A loan program of particular interest to cities and towns.
