SUBSCRIPTION RATES nd Sunday and Sunday IF YOU DONT GET YOUR TRIBUNE Tribune atter looking careful by special messenger for Register Taxes and More Taxes The state of Utah has a gasoline tax increase problem of its own. It is proposed to increase the Utah tax from two and a half to three and a half cents a gallon. Utah in the first in stance levied a higher tax than was first put on in this state, but t game works identical in both states, which is to say the suggestion to increase the tax always comes to the front from some source. The situation in Utah and Wyoming is paral lel. Here it is the highway commission that wants the tax increase for the purpose.of maintaining. Six hundred thousand dollars is the amount to be realized, if the legislative bill is passed. It is said by the highway department in its propa- ganda that only one third of the road building projected has been completed. If this is the fact and this department now demands $600,000 for upkeep of the one third of the program, and the gasoline tax is to be three cents; when the entire prograin js completed the upkeep charges will be $1,800,000 and the oline tax can be not less than nine cents a gallon. It is a simple mathematical calculatian ga The Tribune has said before and it repeats now, that the taxpayers need expect nothing less than several more cam paigus for increase of gasoline tax, if-the present campaign for increase from one to three cents is successful. All the high way department wants is more money out of the taxpayers in order to build more roads in order to hold jobs find draw pay organization. Not once does the highway commission suggest stoppage of its building activities in order to take stock and determine what will be a wise course to pursue in the f re. O , the commission thinks of nothing else than going ahead. If we have spent on the roads already built, which is me rd of the program, approximately $11,000,000, when he other two thirds of the program is completed the peopl will have expended something above $33,000,000 for roads Roads are desirable, but isn’t that amount of money more than the people can afford to invest in roads in so brief a time as ten years? Added to this vast sum the annual upkeep, now $600,000 and at the time of the program’s completion, $1,500,000, all of which must come out of the pockets of the people, all we can say in the circumstances is, that the people of Wyoming will have to be mighty prosperous in order to meet their tax bills. It looks like the legislature will have to call a halt or the highway department, and repudiate the demand for a three eent gasoline tax, simply to keep the highway department from running away with the earnings of the pec Wh there is little comfort in reviewing the Utah situa tion, which is now deeply agitating the people of that state we are giving below an extract from the Salt Lake Telegram, all of which applies exactly to the Wyoming situation. Here it 1s: Before the gasoline tax was adopted in Utah, the motor ists of this state paid $1,188,838 for the privilege of operating their automobiles, in addition to the regular property taxes levied by the taxing units, every two years. With the adoption of the gasoline tax and the reduction of the license fee, the total biennial collections from the motorists jumped to $2,059,- 5S), a net increase of $871,182. With an increasing number of cars each year, this figure, under the present tax of two and one-half a lon, will grow in the measure that the people of the state prosper. Now, however, it appears to certain legislators thet this pre of natural growth is too slow and it is proposed to add cent to the gasoline tax, exacting three and one-half ts for eve on of gas used by the motorists, instead of » and one-b Judged from the experience of ther. two line tax, the proposal contemplates an ir amount of money collected by the state ts each biennium, or an amount in excess of X pause to compare the contemplated collections with the lec ns prevailing before the adoption of the gasoline tax we will find that the increase is in excess of half a million dollars a year. In other words, the posed legislation would compel the motorists to pay $1,306, more in the next bien nium than they paid in the biennium preceding the adoption of the gasoline tax, which is more than twice the amount of all motor fees collected in 1919 and 1920. The motorists seem to be the prey of designing tax author ities. Nevertheless, the proposed legislation can appear in no other light than class taxation of the rankest sort; which eventually will react against the best interests of the state. Being le lation directed against those who happen to own automobiles, it appears to be up to the automobile owners to ave themselves. No doubt, this form of taxation is based on y that automobiles are more or le in the form of a state-imposed penalty for individual fact remains, however, that automobiles have a necessity in many lines of human activity. To impose destructive taxes upon their owners is to restrict individual efforts and general progress. The increase in the gasoline tax should be defeated, but it is doubtful if it will, unless’ the automobile owners of the state rise in their own defense. of a luxury, sp The Red Signals Scientists and medical men all over the world are work- ing with microscope, test tubes, scalpels and modern labora- tory equipment in order to hunt down or isolate the germs of rious diseases.
