Preyer In Opposition
To Gasoline Tax
WASHINGTON Con
gressman Richardson Pre
yer was one of those
signing a letter today
expressing to President
Ford the signers strong
opposition to a proposed 10
cent per gallon federal tax
on gasoline.
“I think all of us want to
support every reasonable
effort to combat inflation
but the gasoline tax would
put too much of the burden
on people who are least
able to carry it,” Preyer
declared.
The Congressman said a
gasoline tax is the wrong
way to control inflation
because it “pushes the
already strained working
man and working woman
past the financial breaking gallon federal excise tax on
point.”
"The place to tax
gasoline is the excessive
profits of the big oil
companies, not the average
consumer”, Preyer said.
Drifters Established
Loan Fund At Bennett
GREENSBORO Dr.
Isaac H. Miller, the
president of Bennett Col
lege in Greensboro, N,C.,
recently announced the
establishment of a $10,000
Revolving Emergency Loan
Fund by the members of
Drifters, Inc.
“The fund will enable
the young women of
Bennett who might find
themselves in a tight
financial situation at some
point in their educational
career to overcome part of
their burden,” explained
Dr. Miller.
“There are times when
students need money to
purchase books, for a
doctor's fee, or other
emergencies which tend to
come up unexpectantly. We
have cases of students who
need fare to go home
during one of the several
breaks.”
The Drifters, a social
organization with over 235
members in fourteen chap
ters across the country, has
already set up the first
installment of the three-
year fund.
“It is most assuring to
have this fund established
at a time when the general
public seems to waiver in
its committment to educa
tion and questions the
dollars which it invests int
the private colleges. These
women have demonstrated
their belief in our ability to

gasoline.
A tax of this nature
would only have the effect
of reinforcing the spiral of
inflation and would push
the already strained work
ing man and working
woman past the financial
breaking point.
It has been suggested
that such a tax would
encourage greater reliance
on mass transportation. An
admirable goal, but imprac
tical in view of the fact that
78% of the public already is
forced to rely on private
automobiles to get to and
from work because of
inadequate mass transit.
There is not question that
the burden of this tax would
have to be borne on the
shoulders of those least
able to bear it.
Mr. President, we stand
ready as your copartners in
government to fight the
battle of inflation and to
restore a healthy economy.
However, we do not think
this proposal is the right
answer.
