MARVELOUS INCREASE \
Atlanta Constitution.
Officials figures announced from
Raleigh, N. C., last week show that
there are 25,000 more automobiles
and trucks, owned and in use in that
state than there were just one year
ago. Think of it!
That means 25,000 more state li
censes to be paid for annually and
it means also that gasoline must be
provided for the operation of these
25,000 additional care, with the State
getting a tax on, every gallon sold and
placing it in tUe highway fund. Says
the Charlotte'Observer editorially:
"North (Carolina has a highway
system that is bringing her nation
wide fame and that has already ob
tained for the state millions of dol
lars worth of the best kind of na
tional advertising; to say nothing of
the tremendous value tli?; roads are
tp our own people in the matter of
saving of time ftnd expense in trans
portation uiuj tru\el, aiid the delights
and comforts and driving anywhere
in the State oh pen, ctly good roads
at high speed instead of the slow'
drive of former days over sand and
mud. Wc are using the highways
while paying for them, and nobody is
paying except thosjp who use them, j
Moreover, those who arc paying arej
saving enough in gasoline and tires
and the curtailed wear and tear of
car to cover the cost of the roads to
thjem and more."
Paul Whitlock told the listening jj
radio world the other night that the
"pay as you go" system of construc
ting state highway plan means that
"you pay alright, but you don't go
very far." Then he told his radio au
dience about the North Carolina way.
"North Carolina collects over eight
million dollars a year from her gaso
line and automobile license tax" he
said, "and that is Sufficient to pay
the interest on her highway bonds
maintain her roads and lay up a
sinking fund with which to pay the
bonds when they fall due."
He could have gone further and
told his radio listeners that by reas
on of system an/d connected paved
highways in North Carolina the State
it not only receiving in motor taxes
the interest on the bonds and provide
alone a sum quite sufficient to carry
the legal sinking fund but a surplus
over and above these requirements
each year larger in itself than the
State received from all of its motor
taxes combined at tliie time the State
had vision enough to issue bonds and
start the construction of a paved sys
tem. It simply illustrates the wisdom
of building highways that start some
where and go somewhere and serve
the year around. '
Georgia will come to it. The failure
to submit the question to the pjeOple
this year delayed matters for about
four years, but every day the wisdom
of a business system of administra
tion is more and more impressed.
