Hearings Set on Governor Pinchot Tax Proposals in Pa

Harrisburg November 12 Opponents of the direct taxation proposed by Governor Gifford Pinchot to raise funds for relief in Pennsylvania indicate the lines their arguments will take. Auto associations and gasoline dealers contend the existing three cent per gallon gas tax suffices for road work. Pinchot would add two cents to gas tax, aiming to raise about 85 million in two years for road building. Tobacco manufacturers and dealers oppose a cigarette stamp tax, arguing it would be a heavy burden and curb sales, risking the projected 12 million revenue for two years. Newsprint advertisers fear loss of cigarette ads and plan protests. Outdoor ad firms argue a free cent tax on billboard space yields far less than Pinchot estimates. Billboard advocates say charitable contributions would offset taxes. Opponents of direct taxes on cigars, billboards, and the extra gas levy will testify Monday as the House Ways and Means Committee holds three hearings ahead of the nine o’clock reconvened session.
