WAY PT?vv.GOVERNOR
WHY N0T?;3NAT0R
Yes, why not? Why not put a tax on diesel fuel?
l'he._poqr,;rootorist fei taxed- and over-taxed for -every gallon of
fULSplitKi lie buys for his automobile. Yet, tho big, .imelly monsters
u»ing die:3el luciL barrel along at high spcedss without evea. paying
one 'penny 'in tax:' ~ ' '•
> Everytimc the' state netios more .revenue it 'increases toxesr on
ga.solin&, on automobile registrations and m other ways which effect
an automobile owner. 1 say "auto;nxob]]e owner" instead, of-"mo­torist^''
"Motoriiit" .sounds too mucli like a luxury and an automobile
t')day IS not a luxury'but deflnilely a ncces.sity.
And while we're*talking about diiiserfucl lel'b give some serious
thought to an-pollution. . ., - •
Have you ever driven on the Lone liiland Expressway or the
New York Thruway behind some of these trucks which spew .con-tinumg
black clouds of smoke?
' You undoubtedly have also noticed that speed llipits. mean noth­ing
to them' Tiy to keep up with one of these huge train-size trucks
or -buses—almost impossible!
The state and all municipalities are curently crying for more
money. Why^ hasn't soraepne proposed taxea on diesel fuel? Thexe
must be milUons of iEfallona used.
