PP&L Raises Objections to Federal
Excise Taxes on Transportation
Pennsylvania Power & Light
Company raised objections this
week to federal excise taxes on
transportations of persons and
property, cQaimmg that they cre
ate an unfair burden on the Com
pany’s customers as electric serv
ice rates include the cost of
these excise taxes. In a letter to
Chairman Aime J. Forand of the
House subcommittee on - excise
taxes, Mr. Chas E. Oakes, PP&L
president, asked the subcommit
tee to recommend repeal of the
wartime measure. Mr. Oakes’ let
ter stated that the federal excise
taxes had been effected during
World War II largely to restrict
non-essential civilian use of trans
portation facilities and “are
tnerefore no longer justifiable.”
The utility executive also
pointed out to the subcommittee
chairman that the concept of a
tax to restrict use of public
transportation facilities is now
contrary to the national interest
and that, if anything, national de
fense considerations today empha
size a need for just the opposite.
The defense of the nation, ac
cording to Mr. Oakes, vitally de
pends upon a financially strong
system of railroads able to meet
emergency demands for trans
portation. Tax programs should
therefore include incentives which
permit America’s public trans
portation systems to modernize
and expand their facilities and
be free of restraints which dis
courage their use and thus weak
en them.
Furthermore, said Mr. Oakes,
inasmuch as these federal excise
taxes discourage the use of pub
lic transportation they unfairly
favor private transportation. He
illustrated this by pointing out
that, if private earners were
geographically available to haul
the nearly three million tons of
coal used annually by the local
utility and now transported by
earners,/there would be
.tax savings of $116,000 a year.

Substantially all of the coal, ma
terials and supplies required by
PP&L are delivered by rail and
truck common carriers and that
extensive use of common carngrs
is also made for the transporta
tion of company personnel.
“A tax that so heavily dis
criminates between one form of
transportation and another, and
which also discriminates largely
on the basis of geographical loca
tion, has no proper place in the
federal tax structure,” Mr. Oakes
said.
The utility president also voiced
concern over the pyramiding ef
fect of such excise taxes and
their adverse effect on the ulti
mate consumer. He pointed out
that the purchaser of a "manu
factured product may well be
paying three or four federal ex
cise transportation taxes in his
final purchase. This could come
about because of an initial ex
cise tax on the transportation of
raw materials, then excise taxes
on transportation of component
parts during manufacturing and,
finally, excise taxes on the trans
portation of the finished prod
uct
“This tax upon a tax is inequit
able in its operation and infla
tionary in its effect,” Mr. Oakes
said, “and the Company submits
that such inequitable tax pyramid
ing should not be continued”

New Butterfat
Record Made
By Illinois Cow
A new national all-time, a!2-
breed high in butterfat produc
tion has been established by Ha
ven Hill Crescent Gewina Count,
a registered Holstein owned by
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. McLaughlin,
Rock River Farms, Byron, 111.
Her official! 365 day production
totalled 38,878 pounds of milk
testing 3.9 per cent butterfat for
a total of 1,523 pounds of butter
fat
The previous record, 1,511.8
pounds of fat in 36,414 pounds of
milk, was set in 1958 by Carna
tion Homestead Daisy
bred and owned by Carnation
Mlk Farms, Carnation, Wash.
Haven Hill Crescent Gewina
Count started her unprecedented
record at the jage of eight years,
three months.
Milked three times daily for
365 days, she averaged more
than 106 pounds of milk a day.
In smashing the national rec
ord, the Illinois Holstein turned
out the third highest 365 day
milk production ever completed
on official test —■ regardless of
age, breed or milking frequency.
Among cows milked three
times daily, her i acord of 38,-
878 pounds of milk is eclipsed
only by the 42,805 pounds pro
duced by Meadow Lily Pabst,
owned by Merle H. Greene, El
sie, Mich.
It is also outranked by the 41,-
943 pounds produced on four
milkings <a day by Carnation
Ormsby Madcap Fayne..
The new champion is a* big
cow, officially classified “excel
lent,” and weighing nearly 1,900
pounds at the close of her lac
tation ,
She was bred by Hugo W.
Schroeder, Mukwonago, Wis .

Medium Amount
Of Marbling in
Meat Favored
A survey conducted by the Na
tional Live Stock and Meat'
Board indicates that most Am
erican consumers like a medium:
amount of marbling in the meat
they purchase. Results of the sur
vey were announced at the
Board’s semi-annual meeting in
Omaha recently.
The study was conducted in
connection with the Board’s
educational meat exhibits at 17
fairs and livestock expositions,
including the Ak-Star-Ben
Live Stock Show in Omaha.
Besides fairs in midwestern
states, the poll was taken also
in several southern states and
in California.
Farm people and city people,
reached through the survey, were
generally in agreement on their
preferences. Fifty-seven per cent
of the farm people and 55 per
cent of the city people said they
preferred a medium amount of
marbling m meat. Less than 10
per cent of each group expressed
a preference for either a large,
amount 6f marbling or no marbl-,
mg at all The remainder of those <
participating in the survey ■ — >
about 35 per cent said they >
liked a little marbling m the .
meat they eat. 1
In response to the question
“How often do you serve vari
ety meats? (liver, hearts,
brains, tongues, etc,)” more
than 32 per cent of the partici
pants both city and farm
replied "once a week”. Anoth
er 31 per cent of the city peo
ple and 25 per cent of the farm
people said they serve variety
meats less than once a month.
The rest indicated that they
had variety meats on their din
ner tables an average of once
or twice a month. 1
It was pointed out by the
Board that because they are such
a rich source of B vitamins, vari
ety meats should be served “dt
least once a week.
