Democrat ol Washington, re cently charged that the Federal Government had collected $1,800. 000.000 in taxes on gasoline and auto pa its in 1052 and had given only $575,000,000 to the states. Magnuson says he will intro duce a bill to correct this situa tion. requiring that all such re venue be earmarked lor road con struction and safety reaseareh. A national magazine recently charg ed that, from 1024 through 1950, several billion dollars had been collected from highway users and spent for purposes other than highway construction. It said that the diverted funds would have built many thousands of miles of modern highways. Statistics at the Federal Bureau of Roads show that highway-use tax revenues are setting records each year but there is not a corre sponding increase in the money set aside for the usage such money was originally collected for -the construction and improvement of | highways. The American Pe troleum Institute recently charg ed that many of the states were using gasoline tax funds to fin ance programs other than high way construction. New York, Rhode Island, Geor gia, Florida, and New Jersey are some ot the states chargee with this practice However, Georgia recently adopted a constitutional | amendment, dedicating all road- ] tax money to road construction. | Alabama and Arizona took similai steps on election day in 1952.
