Standard Oil President Opposes Ohio Gasoline Tax Increase
Sohio President Charles K. Spahr argues that a proposed rise in Ohio gasoline taxes will raise living costs and may reduce fuel use and demand. He says combined federal and state taxes already take 40 percent of household gasoline and 60 to 70 percent for large truckers, and the new tax could raise the motorist burden to about 50 percent and trucks to 80 to 95 percent. He backs Gov. DiSalle on studying highway needs but warns tax hikes before facts are known could hurt industries and total tax revenue.
