Advertising rates furnished by request. J FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1949. How Long? North Carolina's legislators are divided on the subject of increasing the State gasoline tax. Members of the Senate had passed the Governor's measure to up the tax on gas by one cent but made the increase conting ent on the approval of a 200 million dollar road bond issue. Last Friday the House voted to take this increase off the bond ballot and make the tax effective whether the road program is approved or not. We wonder how long automobile and truck owners are to be saddled with every type of a tax increase that can be thought up by the political powers that be. The day is long gone when the au tomobile was a mere luxury and its operation could be considered as such but we are inclined to believe that our tax-conscious boliticians do not want to see this light and in the mad scramble for more and more tax dol lars still consider the car owner as fair game to be taken lor every penny possible. During the past few weeks our State officials, mainly the Highway Commission, have been carrying out an intensive lobby to bring about this increase in the present gasoline tax, They have cited that lots- of other states have increased gas taxes since 1941, others are considering an in crease. This is mighty poor reason ing to our way of thinking when citi zens of North Carolina understand that there are already millions of dollars in surplus in the State high way fund. Why increase a tax when there 'is a surplus fund on hand? Let's use up this surplus before we sock the motorists additional dollars for the privilege of U3ing his car ov truck. By-Pass The Cities The Conference of Mayors, meeting in Washington, recently discussed the 'suggestion that Congress earmark half of next year's $450,000,000 high way fund for roads through congest ed cities. It seems to us that the place to use the money, if it becomes available, is in the construction of highways that will by-pass the cities. Certainly, every traveler is annoyed by , the ne cessity of going through a metropoli tan area and, according to some high way experts, most of the congestion on the roads occurs in and around cities. By the construction of highways around the cities, through traffie could pass on without delay. This, in it self, would eliminate some of the con ' gestion. Moreover, the use of the by passes would leave the local highways for local traffic. As we see it, every body would gain by construction of highways around cities. to an admission on the part of t ma Jority voting that the bill is bad and that it ought to be killed but that facing political realities, the majority of the members . is not : willing to place themselves on record to this ef fect although perfectly willing to kill the measure , if it can be done with out political consequences. The margin or victory lor oppo nents of the pension plan is probably too small to stand up against the -organized pressure that will be exerted by some of the veterans' organiza tions. I he power of this pressure is illustrated by the fact that, when the House members could vote without going on record, the ballot was uni formly adverse to the proposition but whenever a record vote was tak en, the votes in favor of it increased almost by magic. We do believe that it is to the cre dit of the Perquimans VFW Post that as a unit, members ofthis Post op posed passage of the measure, and so advised Congressional representa tives. - LADIES I TIRED OF PAYING LUXURY TAXES?

Waynesboro Nurseries, Waynesboro, Virginia. ltc Not Creditable The House of Representatives does not appear in a very favorable litrht in its consideration of the Rankin bill to provide pensions for the veterans of World Wars I and II after they each reach the age of 65. Recently, when the vote of no in dividual member was recorded, the House voted 154 to 139 to kill the en acting clause of the measure, which would render it inoperative. When a teller vote was demanded, the House voted 163 to 154 to confirm its action. Incidentally, when a teller vote is taken, the members rise to be count ed, but there is no permanent record . made of the votes of individual mem- bers. V After these two votes, the House went into consideration of the bill. A motion was made to send the bill back to 'the committee, where it might bf . pigeon-holed, and the vote Was re corded. .The members reversed their previous attitude by . voting 223 to j 187 not to recommit the bill. There- afte& a record vote was demanded on the question of killing the .enacting clause and "under the impact of a - record vote," the House voted 291 to 120 to bring "back to life what it previously appeared to have shot to death" .
