FEDERAL TRUCK TAXES COST
AVERAGE FAMILY $2.50 ANNUALLY
When a cotton grower in Georgia
trucks his crop to the gin and then
the railroad siding or warehouse, or
a farmer hauls his fruit and vege
tables to market, or the community
grocer delivers an order to a family
in the neighborhood, the movement
of such commodities from the pro
ducer to the consumer is taxed at
every turn by the federal government,
states Neil W. Printup, secretary of
the Georgia Petroleum Industries’
committee.
Mr. Printup further states “these
federal taxes which fall on truck
operations are estimated at approxi
mately $75,000,000 annually. Their
burden is distributed over the entire
population in higher transportation
costs and they add about $2.50 each
year to the living costs of every
family.
“In 1937 there were 4,255,296 trucks
registered in the United States, or
approximately one truck for every
seventh family in the nation. Trucks
use more gasoline than do passen
ger cars, the most reliable estimates
indicating they use approximately
1,000 gallons annually, although oth
er estimates run as high as 1,2C0 gal
lons. At the lower and conservative

Irritability, Nervous Headache, or Nervous Indigestion? Do
you worry over trifles, start at sudden noises? Overtaxed

figure, then, the trucks of the nation,
hauling products for the health, com
fort and well-being of everybody,
consumed approximately 4,300,000,000
gallons of gasoline. At 1 cent per
gallon, federal taxes on that gasoline
amounted to $43,000,0ff).
“It is also estimated that the
trucks used 119,540,000 gallons of
motor oil and 15,600,000 i gallons of
transmission and differential oils.
Federal taxes on that oil, collected
at the rate of 4 cents per gallon,
amounted to $5,405,600. Other federal
taxes on new trucks, replacement
parts, tires and accessories amounted
to about $26,600,000 annually.
Auto Riding Safer
Than Staying Home
ATLANTA, Nov. 21 (GPS).—Did
you know that it’s more dangerous to
stay at home than to go riding in the
family automobile?
Well it is, according to Dr. Frank
K. Boland, chairman of the Atlanta
chapter of the American Red Cross,
who is urging all citizens to co-oper
ate with the Red Cross in the fourth
campaign against home and farm ac
cidents.
“Few persons realize that 32,500
persons were killed in home accidents
last year, and that 4,500 i were killed
on farms—a total of 37,000 fatali
ties,” Dr. Boland declared. “And,
judging by the number of injured,
maimed and disabled, the home is the
most dangerous place for rest and
comfort, while the farm is the most
dangerous place to earn a living.”
