Gasoline Tax To
Be Posted In Iowa
Starting this w c e k gasoline
pumps throughout Iowa will dis-
play small permanent signs telling
the total gasoline tax paid by mot-
orists on each gallon they buy, L.
L. Spillers of Des Moines chair-
man of the State Petroleum Indus-
fi'ies Committee, announced.
The message on the signs will
read: "Price Includes 7¢ Tax On
Each Gallon."
Mr. Spillers said Iowa oil men
are posting the Gas Tax Reminders
on Service station pumps because
they believe the public needs to be
reminded about the gasoline tag.
"M o d e r n computing pumps,
which mix the tax right in with
the price of gasoline, may'. cause[
motorists to overlook or forget [
about the size of that tax," he ms-[
serted. "But with Gas Tax Re-[
minders posted on all pumps, mot-
orists will have their attention cal-
led to this tax e~'ery time they buy
gasoline."
Mr. Spillers explained that oil
men approved the principle of a
reasonable state tax on gasoline
as a fair means of paying a just
share of road costs• However, the:
