American motorist.
The gasoline tax now pro-
duces more revenue than the
levy on any other single prod-
uct. It actually amounts to a
“sales tax” of about 50 per cent
of the price of gasoline itself.
Today the federal govern-
ment levies a four-cent tax on
each gallon of gasoline — one
cent of which is a “temporary”
levy due to expire next year.
The average state tax is six
cents, although some states col-
lect as much as seven cents.
This combined average state-
federal levy of 10 cents is just
10 times the size of the first
gasoline tax—a penny-a-gallon
imposed in 1919 in Oregon. The
federal government got into the
act in 1932 with a ‘temporary”
one-cent boost.
Some people say high gasoline
taxes are one of the reasons for
the popularity of small cars
these days. It’s a fact that in

Taxes are an item defying the law of gravity — they go up
and up and up and nobody should know this better than the
o-----------------------------
pie last 10 years—while prices
in general were rising 21 per
cent — gasoline prices them-
selves went up only five per
cent. It is higher taxes that
make the difference in what the
motorist has to pay.
This taxation is made even
more unpalatable by the fact
that gasoline and other high-
way-user levies are not always
spent entirely on roads. Last
year, for example, the federal
government diverted $1.7 bil-
lion in highway-user taxes to
non-road purposes and the
states diverted $300 million.
Right now motorists are keep-
ing an anxious eye on that lat-
est one-cent federal boost. They
want to make certain it expires
June 30,1961, as scheduled and
doesn’t continue indefinitely
like so many “temporary” taxes
of the past.
Electricity is your better way
to cook ... because it’s CLEAN
Utensils stay bright and shiny . . . curtains stay
color-fresh . . . walls and woodwork keep their new
look longer when you cook the modem electric way.
Your kitchen stays clean because electric heat is
as clean as electric light. There’s no flame to make
soot ... no byproducts of combustion to soil your
kitchen. And that means a big saving in
cleaning time and effort for
you. See your local electric
range dealer soon.

DEAR JAN: My husband is at
the age that he is eyeing the la-
each morning bright and early to
get the mail because he knows
some of the ladies come to the
mailbox in their nothings to get
the mail. What can be done for
a man that twirls hi!s eyes every-
time the word woman comes up?
He is 76 and thinks he is 22. What
can I do?
DEAR KAREN: Explain to him
that you love him but he must
be more careful with your things.
Tell him it is only that you are
concerned with his welfare and
brushing his hair with your tooth-
brush is not sanitary. By this
he will not think it personal.
JAN.
DEAR JAN: My father-in-law
is visiting me and this sounds
bad but it is true. He will not
leave my things alone. I have
hidden everything that I want to
keep. He is good but prowls all
the time—I do love him but
I need some privacy. I wear den-
tures and this morning I went
into my room and he had my
toothbrush and was brushing his
hair. I almost died. He got mad
and hasn’t spoken to me all day
—but Jan—MY TOOTHBRUSH
