A SAD, SAD STORY...
Old Empty Pockets is a sad sight indeed. One time he was a leading bus
inessman. and he tried his damdest to make things work .. . but he never
did make the grade. He tried to cut corners, buy right, and sell for a profit.
But he flunked on the transportation test — he just never learned that to
get his merchandise quickly, safely and economically he should ORDER
BY TRUCK Yup, he’s a sad, sorry sight

Did you know Gasoline
is Taxed at a Rate
5 Times as High
as Diami >nds?
IN NEBRASKA .YOU PAY TAX
ON 10 GALLONS OF GASOLINE
Gasoline taxes will be lowered —
if the latest temporary
Federal gasoline tax increase
expires on June 30th as scheduled by
the 1959 Federal Highway Act.
Along with all good citizens, we are in favor of
building the roads that the motoring public needs.
But. in the last 10 years alone. Fede'ral and State taxes
nationwide on gasoline have skyrocketed 51% — sky
rocketed to a point where gasoline, a basic commodity,
is actually taxed at a rate five times as high as luxuries
like diamonds and mink coats.
Must gasoline taxes be so high? Most people believe
that gasoline taxes are high because the money is needed
to pay for our national highway program. This is not so.
The fact is that out of every' highway-user tax dollar
collected last yearly the Federal government, more than
40 cents was diverted to non-highway purposes.
If these highway-user tax revenues were spent for high
ways—as they should be—gasoline taxes could be lowered,
and the highway program given a boost.
In fact, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1959 provides
that when the added temporary Federal gasoline tax ex
pires on June 30th. 1961. as scheduled, some S802 mil
lion a year in highway-user taxes —now diverted to the
U. S. Treasury’s general fund—will instead be deposited
in the Highway Trust Fund.
•
As a result, if the latest Federal temporary gasoline tax
increase expires on June 30th a-. scheduled the national
highway program will actualh get S225 million more
each year than it now receives from the latest Federal
temporary gasoline tax increase.
In January of this year, after an exhaustive 2-year sur
vey of national transportation pojicv, a special U. S.
Senate study group confirmed the wisdom o' this decision.
This will be good news for you. You will be able to
enjoy a steadily improving highway system, at a lower
gasoline tax-rate.
i---———i
HERE ARE THE FACTS ABOUT
TODAY S HIGH GASOLINE TAXES
• In Nebraska, you pay $1.10 tax on 10 gal
lons of gasoline.
• You pay 11 f tax a gallon—4( in Federal faxes
plus 7< in State taxes.
• Gasoline is taxed at a rate 5 times os high as
diamonds.
• The average Nebraska motor vehicle owner
pays $87 a year in gasoline taxes.
• Since 1951 there have been three increases
in the Federal gasoline fax alone.
• In the last 10 years, gasoline taxes nation
wide have skyrocketed 51 %—yet the nationol
average price of gasoline itself has risen only
5.5% during the same period.
The Gasoline You Buy Is Taxed Too High!
