In forty-six States and the District of Co- lumbia, gasoline taxes are now pald by motorists, 'Pheéy range from two cents, the lowest, to as high as five cents.

One charges four and one-half and seven charge four cents. In three States the levy is three and one-half cents, while 15 impose a levy of even three cents, The minimum of two cents is charged by 17 States, The average for the nation is 2.55 cents per gallon. California, which charges two cents, leads in the amount of revenue collected from this source. It received in the first six months of this year more than $9,000,000. Ohio, with a three-cent 'levy, was second, followed in the named by Pennsylvania, with a two-cent Texas, three cents, and Florida, charging four cents. Recent!y Gov.
