Uncle Sam and His Nepheuws, the States, | Are Collecting Over a Billion Dollars in Yearly Tolls on Motor Vehicles and Fuel More Than Meets the Nation’s Billion Dollar Highway Building Bill—Thomas H. MacDonald, Chief of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, Tells Striking Details. By JUDSON C. WELLIVER America has reverted to the ancient system of collecting tolls wherewith to build and maintain highways. In 1925 these tolls amounted to $1,094,000,000, collected through motor licenses, gasoline taxes, property, corporation, | Income production and other taxes on automobiles, automobile | ® | manufactures, the petroleum industry, etc. In the same year $1,003,000,000 was spent on rural roads. twenty years at present rate. | It took near a century to build $20,000,000,000 worth of rail- ‘roads.

MacDonald, Chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, | Department of Agriculture, in an in terview on highway development. “The ‘equipment of this continent with modern roads has been the most amazing provision of a public utility that any community ever accom! plished in a similar period,” said Mr | MacDonald. “Historians say the | Roman Empire was held together by | its highway system, radiating from Rome to the Provinces. But America | | has converted ja continent into a neighborhood within a few years “This accomplishment really repre sents the inauguration of a new sys tem of taxation; a system of licenses and excises levied against particular privileges or classes of property, the proceeds being dedicated to highway development. “For 1925 state taxes on gasoline aggregated $143,000,000. Add to that $263,500,000 for automobile registra tion and licenses; $150,000,000 as property taxes on the 20,000,000 auto- mobiles; $143,430,709 as the Federal excise tax on automobiles, parts and accessories for 1925; $50,000,000 to represent wheelage taxes, special | taxes on gasoline or cars, and fines collected from motor drivers. The total reaches approximately $749, | 930,709 Nearly $1,100,000,000 Yearly Tolls “But these figures do not include | income and corporation taxes derived i from the motor car business. Nor do | they include state, local, production, | corporation or income taxes of the | petroleum industry Yet that indus try has a capitalization of about | $9,000,000,000. A modest estimate for these, added to the preceding figures, | makes a total of $1,094,930,709, which is considerably more than the entire amount spent on country roads. “You observe that 'I have not in cluded the government's expenditures of nearly $100,000,000 in Federal aid to road building. In the eight years from 1918 to 1925 inclusive, the Gov- ernment has contributed $460,000,000 to help the states build roads. That is considerably less than half of what the country spent on roads in either 1924 or 1925. Moreover, in the same eight years, while the Government was distributing that $460,000,000 to the states, it collected $873,000,000 in internal revenue taxes on motor cars, parts and accessories Other hun dreds of millions were collected in in come and corporation taxes from mo tor car manufacturers and dealers | Thus it appears that Federal con tribution to roads as compared to the use the cars and the gasoline has been decidedly modest. “But, while Federal contribution is only about 10 per cent of highway ex i Ss rm plis sul | Poh > pense, it has accomplished results al | New Jersey had some $700,000 of Fed- | eral aid allotted to her roads and in together out of proportion to its amount. First, it was an incentive to the States. Th. Government required | them to invest as much as it con tributed. Then the ment takes | part in a general supervision of con routes. So we have built roads on better standards. and have got them organized into a truly national sv# tem instead of forty-eight state sys tems. Unifying the Road System “Some day it will be realized that this was the most valuable contribu tion. Driving from Boston to New York, a man may pass through four states. Every one might have a | splendid highway system; but if these did not articulate at the state lines the trip would be almost impossible Thanks to the systematization under Pederal influence, country roads are as superior to state boundary lines as are railroads “The Federal highway act of 1921 required that a complete r ation-reach ing system of roads be designated within two vears, as the roads te which Uncle Sam would give assist ance. It was found that there were 2,866,061 miles of highway in the country Of these 7 per cent. or 200, 824 miles, were to be included in national system, eligible for Fe aid. Nearly every mile of that 061 was a candidate for design. as a Federal highway But in the end the system was laid out as a truly na tional one. “When the map was published- it showed nearly the 200,000 miles of designated routes. Since then 46,488 miles of these roads have been im- | proved, nearly 13,000 more are under | construction, and over 2,000 have been approved for early beginning of work. In addition to that many states have | built, without Federal aid, extensive sections which are included within this national system. In fact, these | state contributions aggregate 55.000 miles, so that approximately two- thirds of the 200,000 mile national highway system has already been ime proved Uncle Sam as Road Supervisor “Along with all of this, there is the Federal supervision over constructiom and maintenance When Uncle Sam helps build a rgad he reserves au thority to require its proper main- tenance Then there is the business of uniform marking along highways, which makes it possible for motorists to drive thousands of miles on a des- ignated route whose markings be. come so familiar that after a few miles he need not ask directions “Finally Federal participation has made possible a great number of | bridges at strategic points.. Some of | these have been needed for years, vet | state and local authorities have been unable to provide them, partly be- cause of the cost, partly because of competition between routes. When a stream separates two counties, or twe states, it is often impossible to cet them to agree where to build or how to divide the cost of a bridge In | such cases the Federal authority has repeatedly mediated differences and secured construction Let me men- | tion some instances “Missouri has been a state far over a century Divided east and west by the Missouri river, communication he- tween the two sections has been lim- ited, to the state's disadvantage Fonr bridges across the river were required in the national highway program, and Federal co-operation with the state of Missouri has made them possible Two are completed, the others are un der constructicn The four will cost a little more than $2,000,000, the Fed eral contribution being nearly $1,000, 000 Getting Bridges Constructed “Another bridge that has a peculiar 5 | importance, both locally and natior contribution of people who make and p y ally, has been needed for generations { across Raritan bay, New Jersey "It ig | one of the links in the chain of com | munication between New York city and the country at large In 1924 1925 over $1,000.000 So the stare agreed that this Raritan bridge s! d be built, costing about $4,000 000 Federal funds made up about i ne- x : . | third of the amount. The bridge, « struction and « share in determining | a mile and a half long, is now nearly | completed “Such illustrations might be mnuitt- plied indefinitely National participa tion has repeatedly made possible | accomplishment of vitally important highway development” According to the American Petro | leum Institute, the gasoline tax wus | first imposed in 1919 in Oregon It has now been adopted by all the states except New York, Illinois. New Jersey and Massachusetts The ten- | dency has been continually to in crease the rate of tax per gallon As late as 1921 gasoline taxes for th en | tire country were only about $5,000, 000, in 1922, $12,000,000; in 1923 al- most $37,000,000; in 1924, $79,000.000, and in 1925, $142.987,749 With good prospects that the “gas” tax will be adopted soon by states whic* do not have iit now and with the gailonage -:tes being increased in other states it is calculated that this tax alone wii: soon raise $200,000,000 a year, quits rossibiy during 1926 « E.
