Thompson Says Oregon highway users are tak-1 ing a beating when it comes to I gas and oil taxes paid to the fed- I eral government, according to Eberly Thompson of Portland, vice president of M and M Wood Working Co. "In 1951, Oregon drivers paid, through the two-cent gas tax and six-cent lubricating oil tax, $8,-1 462,000 to Uncle Sam. Approxi- ; mately $2.508,000 of this amount I was never returned for highway improvement and construction in j the state.” He continued: “The money that should be put to improving and enlarging Oregon highways is be-1 ing swallowed up by the over- l sized federal government.” Thompson, reviewing a special I Oregon gas tax study of the Na- i tional Association of Manuafctur- I ers, declared that local control would not have allowed such loss of revenue and added: “This one item, loss of much needed state highway funds, would indicate that a change in gas tax cqllection should be made. Deficit | spending, excessive taxes and t he | 52-cent dollar would indicate that a change in government authority as a whole might well be made.” The NAM report shows that federal taxes on automotive gas, oil and accessories have doubled since 1939, while Oregon gas taxes have only increased about one fifth since that year. Uncle Sam's income, dollar-wise, on motor vehicle taxes, including gas, oil, accessories, p a r t s and other excise taxes, has climbed steadily and rapidly multiplying six times in the past 18 years, the report shows. In 1935, federal tax receipts from highway users to-1 taled about a quarter of a billion dollars. Today it exceds one and one-half billion dollars. “The mushrooming size of our national government is evident on all sides and is ' cause for real alarm," Thompson emphasized. “A good example of 'big bureaucracy’ can be seen in comparing the ris ing number of federal job holders. In 1940, there were approximately one million federal civilian em ployees; today there are over two and one-half million. In most states, including Oregon, there are more federal workers than state workers.” "Only by returning to the states the rights which are traditionally theirs will we have a truly demo cratic, efficient and economical governmental system,” Thompson said. Other statistics compiled by the NAM show that 531,032,000 gal-1 longs of gas were purchased in I the state by private users in 1950. which is considered an average year. In that year, the average Oregon driver txiught 941 gallons of gas and paid $18.82 in federal taxes. He handed over $56.46 in state taxes on top of that. Oregon rates third highest in { the nation when it comes to a ' comparison of population and reg istered automobiles. There is one I car for every 2.2 persons in the I state. Wyoming has one car for I every two (arsons; Nevada, one ■ car |»er 2.1 citizens. Figures were compiled from re- j ports of the Secretary of the Treasury, 1951; Bureau of Inter nal Revenue, and Bureau of Pub lic Lands of the U. S. Department । of Commerce, Thompson ex- , plained.
