said, "the people of Nebraska will

The most idealistic collegian
can understand that money for
state roads must come from a tax.
It stands to reason that those
who use the roads the most should
pay the most to use them.
Two kinds of taxes have been
devised to see that users pay the
gasoline tax and the ton-mile tax.
Nebraska has used the gas tax for
some time, but it seems that the
newly-proposed ton-mile system
is the more equitable.
The people don't want any more
gas tax. They said so with a ref
erendum, in 1950.
