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, Federal 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 liigli 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 year by the Federal government, more than 40 cents was diverted to non-highway purposes. If these highway-user tax revenues were spent for high waysas 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 $802 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 as scheduled the national highway program will actually get $225 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 policy, a special U. S. Senate study group confirmed the wisdom of 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. 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 1 W tax a gallon 4 in Federal taxes plus 7t in State taxes. Gasoline is taxed at a rate 5 times as high as diamonds. The average Nebraska motor vehicle owner pays $37 a year in gasoline taxes. Since 1951 there have been three increases in the Federal gasoline tax alone. In the last 10 years, gasoline taxes nation wide have skyrocketed 51 yet the national average price of gasoline itself has risen only 5.5o during the same period.
