Let’s
ailing
n
if
lain talk is urgently needed today on a matter that
affects the pocketbooks of all taxpayers... subsidies
to commercial intercity transportation agencies that
long ago outgrew the infant industry stage.
The yearly expenditures of the Federal Govern
ment alone... for aid to forms of transportation other
than the railroads... now approach $IH billion. These
are your tax dollars—and ours. They help provide
the highways used by huge commercial trucks, the
airports and other facilities used by commercial air
lines, and the waterways used by waterway carriers.
In contrast, the railroads do not receive, and do
not want, one single penny of subsidy. They are
self-supporting. They pay more than $1 billion a year
in taxes. And their charges reflect their -true costs of
doing business.
We think it’s time to call a spade a spade... time
to point out that these subsidized carriers can de
stroy but not supplant the self-reliant railroads.. •
time to urge that simple justice be done for the good
of all America and all taxpayers.);^
