Since 1932 it has brought in about $33 billion. Currently four cents a gallon, the tax provided 77 per cent of the federal money spent on road-building since the present highway program was launched in 1956. Oil Facts notes that President Johnson recently pointed out that the highway program "is not costing the general fund of the United States treasury a single cent” because owners and operators of motor vehicles are bearing the entire cost through special taxes. Nyssa Nazarene teens with their director, Mrs. Hal Poe will leave at 6:30 p.m. today for the program.

Such faith in the Oregon legis lative process can be justified by the record, according to some students of taxation, de spite the 1967 assembly's fail ure to reach agreement on any local tax relief plan. In recent years, they note, lawmakers have directly re duced homeowners* bills through the Property Tax Re lief Act of 1965 and referral of the successful cigarette tax to Oregon voters. Indirect relief has come by way of increases in basic school support and other state money directed to local aid; the new gasoline tax increase will give more road and recreation area funds to cities and counties. Furthermore, they point out, legislators have eased the bur den on elderly homeowners through the senior citizens’ homestead exemption and have fought off elimination of the state personal income tax de duction now allowed on property taxes paid. Despite popular clamor for repeal of property-tax exemp tions, elected state leaders con sistently have refused to allow application of local taxes to homeowners’ personal pro perty. This practice creates a big tab in many states, and is a significant exemption not al lowed business taxpayers. Mindful of Oregon’s business climate, legislators have en couraged business growth through legislation as the Inven tory Tax Relief Act of 1965. That act is phasing out half of Oregon’s inventory tax, which actually is a property tax paid by businessmen on goods in stock. Other incentives to spur growth in business and employ ment have included exemption from tax liability of goods ship ped into Oregon for trans-ship- kHO y, IT’S BOATING TIME HAVE FUN AT THE FRI. - SAT. - JULY 14 - 15 AND BUY ‘VET SUPPLIES ‘PET SUPPLIES ‘INSECTICIDES (For House i Barn) AT CC(\juchafi£b PHARMACY 202 MAIN PH. 372-3347 NYSSA, OREGON BING NOLAN FIELD Your Indopondont Insurance Agont Vale Nyssa Ontario 473-3157, 372-3162, 889-6990 FOR LOW COST CASCADE BOATOWNERS INSURANCE OUTBOARD MOTORS.
