PAUL, November 30.—(8y Associated Press) —Increased Fed eral appropriations for highway aid i will be advocated at the conven tion of the American Association of State Highway officials at New Orleans, December 3-6, ‘‘for the mutual profit of more than 13,000,- 0000 American motorists and all the states,” according to Charles M. Babcock, Minnesota commission er highways and former president > of the organization. This feature ■ of the meeting will be the particu- I lar business of Mr. Babcock. Discussions of good roads plans,! policies add progress by the asso- i ciaticn will make up the major part i of the program. Delegations from nearly all , states -in this country and trom several Canadian pro vinces and European countries are expected to be in attendance. “The tax on automobiles now takes 5 cents of every dollar paid lor new automobiles, tires and ac- ‘ cessories and 3 cents of the new truck. purchase dollar,” said Mr. Babcock. ’‘This revenue since 1917 has totalled $589,012,021, against $264,782,216 of federal highway ! aid appropriations during the same i period? The Government is there- I fore using less than half the amoiffit i collected directly as taxes from j highway users in the manner to I give them the most direct bene- l fits. /‘Besides these Federal taxes, auto I owners are paying county, town ship and city taxes, wheclage taxes, gasoline taxes and other levies on ' their ears. “The most constructive'policy <ie - mands increase ! i Federal high way aid appropriations, and cer tainly in sums closely matching Federal income from the automo tive source. Any other puts our Government in the position of re tarding highway development, standing in the way of the ear and truck owner who would advance the good roads program along the most sound economic lines.” IS GREEN NO MORE “My experience with your medi cine has been wonderful.
