Highway Commission
Defends Gasoline Tax
The North Carolina Highway
Commissiifh, in a "fact sheet"
answered charges that Itavc
been aimed recently at the 91m
cent per gallon gasoline tax.
North Carolina, which has
the highest gas tax in the
nation, maintains the largest
state road system in the United
States, the Commission said.
More than 73,000 miles of
roads are maintained by the
state.
Of the twelve states with
gasoline taxes greater than 7
cents a gallon, the next largest
state road system is that of
Louisiana with 16,000 milis of
road.
There are no toll roads in
North Carolina, the
Commission pointed out. Tolls
add an equivalent of about I
cent per gallon on a nationwide
basis. In Virginia, which
maintains the third largest state
system, tolls arc equivalent to
an additional I'/: cents per
gallon. In New York, tolls
equal an addition or more than
4 cents a gallon, the
Commission said.
Property taxes and general
fund appropriations for
highways throughout the
nation are the equivalent of
about y/i cents per gallon in
taxes. The comparable figures
in North Carolina arc about I '4
cents per ;;allon.
There arc 467 miles of
interstate highways open to
traffic out of the 839 miles
allocated to the state the
Commission said The state
also has 931 miles of four ?
lane rural primary highway. At
least 500 more miles is needed,
however, the report said.
Ol the 73,000 miles o*~ road
in the state system, more than
66,000 miles is paved.
Most of the opposition to
the tax has come front the oil
companies, the Highway
Commission said. However, th?
oil companies benefit most by
the tax through increased
travel and gasoline sales Sales
have increased in the stale by
5.9 per cent through March 31
of this year the report said
The report also charged that
one of the leading oil
companies, Atlantic Richfield
Oil Company, with profits
from 1962 to 1966 of S4I I
trillion, paid no 'edcral income
tax on the profit.
The 73,000 miles of roads in
the state system represents
about 10 per cent of all state
maintained roads in the nation,
the report said. These are
maintained with 3 per cent of
the total money spent in the
nation, the report said.

The term "editorial vitalitv "
is widely bandied by national
publications as proof of their
value as advertising media.
In every day language, a
publication Iras editorial
vitality if it has important
meaning to its subscribers. The
degree of editorial vitality may
be indicated by the extent to
which a publication is missed
when it is not available to
regular -readers.
bditorial vitality may be
justly considered as one o'" the
significant factors affecting the
value of an advertising
medium. However, the
community newspaper so far
surpasses national publications
in editorial vitality that it is
difficult to understand why a
national magazine would
mention the term.
By any standard of
measurement, the newspaper
of local origin has no close
competitor in terms of
personal significance to the
individual reader. There has
been ample research to back up
this assertion, which must seem
pietty obvious to most people.
What other kind of
publication is read from front
to back by nearly every
subscriber? What other
publication excites comment
and uigumcnt on street corners
and in barber shops? In what
other publication is advertising
read as local news?
Or. if more proof is needed,
what other editor is threatened
or praised as often as the editor
of the local newspaper?
II it's editorial vitality an
advertiser is looking for, he can
?"ind more of it in his local
newspaper than anywhere else
in the world.
