You don’t have food rationing today .. you

Yet, a very real brake is still being put on
travel. On a coach trip from New York to
Chicago, for example, YOU are still paying
$4.61 in Federal tax.
And the same with the goods that are shipped
to your home community. On every dollar you
pay for freight, you pay the Government an
extra 3 cents (4^ a ton on coal). That means
YOU are still paying over $300,000,000 a year
This tax should be repealed NOW. There is
no longer any reason you should pay $1.15 for
every dollar’s worth of travel... $ 1.03 for every
dollar of railroad freight.
