TAX ON GASOLINE TO
RAISE FUNDS TO GRANT
TEACHERS MORE PAY
MISSOULA, Mont., June 16— A j
tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline
sales for automobiles is suggested by 1
Frank Haffie, chairman of the board j
of trustees for the Missoula county ,
high school as a means for raising
funds with which to grant salary in
creases to teachers in the institution,
several of whom have resigned, giv
ing inadequate salaries as the cause.
“The people who drive automobiles
can afford to pay this tax, and, alto
gether, it appears to me to be an en
tirely just method of taxation, though j
of course, the law to provide for this
taxation would have to be passed by
the legislature,” said Mr. McHaffie.
“A tax of this kind would relieve the
present burdensome taxation on real
estate.”
