One third for tax raises gas price burden
The article notes gasoline prices fell from 80 cents in 1920 to 13 cents in early 1932, but rising state taxes cut motorists’ gains. Tax rose from 0.9 cents to about 4 cents per gallon, pushing total cost to 17 cents with over 30 percent paid to the state, blaming tax increases rather than oil industry costs.
Prudence and life insurance endure amid market lows
The article notes that saving for a rainy day remains prudent and that life insurance assets stay secure as stock markets fall. It argues public confidence derives from prudent personal finance and the safety of large life insurance holdings amid economic lags.

Logical solution for rural road building
The article argues against single lane pavements for rural roads noting higher accident risk and widening costs as traffic grows. It advocates weatherproof full width roads at about 6000 dollars per mile with low maintenance, suitable for varying traffic levels as the logical solution.
