Lausche seeks delay of Kentucky truck tax retaliation
Governor Lausche asked Kentucky officials to delay retaliation for Ohio axle mile tax on heavy trucks. Kentucky may tax Ohio truckers up to 300 dollars yearly until a conference with the Ohio Reciprocity Board discusses the issue. He argued Ohio could not exempt in-state truckers while taxing outsiders and warned such exemption would weaken the law.

Railroads' Improvements Idolized as Act of Faith
William T. Farley, president of the Association of American Railroads, told the AP that railroads are spending billions on capital improvements as an act of faith. He cited eight years after the war with over 9 billion dollars invested while income totaled about 5 billion, and blamed low earnings on delayed rate adjustments amid wage and price shifts. Farley condemned the 2 percent excise tax on passenger fares and 3 percent on freight as discriminatory against railroads versus private auto or truck transport.
