Thrilla Galore In A---nt Of Mt. Ralni·er According to statistics compiled and sent out by the State Road Commission of West Virginia, the total Federal tid bill of the United States is paid by automobile taxes, with a comfortable balance left ttver. Since 1917, the Federal tre?vernment has collected from the automobile industry, in taxes, the sum of $589,012,021. In the same period the total of Federa.l aid for road building ha1 been $264,782,216, or only 45 per cent of the special motor . vehicle and accessory taxes. For the last tis~Lrear the Governme'!t collected $146,000,000 in these special taxes, and paid out for Federal aid to the States aoly $72,<m,OOO. Thus, the special motor -,ehicle and acces ory tax baa not only paid aU of the Federal aid on road building but bas left a balance in the Tteuury of more than the amount paid out.
