A wartime travel tax on rail and freight persisted years after the war. The piece notes a 15 percent travel tax during wartime, $4.61 federal tax on a New York to Chicago coach trip, and a 3 cent freight tax per dollar, totaling over $300 million annually. It argues the tax serves no purpose postwar and burdens households with ongoing government revenue.
