SUBSCRIPTION RATES THE: KEY WEST CITIZEN A classic example of the effect of tax- es upon business is to be found in the case of the Federal tax on motor fuel. In 1933 this tax cost taxpayers roundly $180,000,000, but it meant a far greater loss to trade.

He stated. that the best way to promote the Overseas brid- ges is to get the ear of some of the big con- struction contractors interested in the pos- sibility of this $10,000,000 project. After getting them interested it would be easier to move the politicians. This suggestion has always appealed to us, and may be, aft- er all, the one and only way to see the real- ization.of our hopes. ‘have purchased. hicles. would have meant | profitable employment for 10,000 men. spent their way in trade, thus expanding ut 'f the circle of buying influence.

Since the manufacture of a motor car involves the production of materials and labor of men in about 100 different industries, and the materials are drawn from every state in the Union, the entire country suffered because just one Federal motor tax pre- ‘verited the manufacturing and marketing of these vehicles.

The 600,000 cars would have paid a gasoline tax of about 4c per gallon te the states. State revenue from this source would have been $14,400,000.
