transacted by the service stations was about 6 per cent of the volume of all the retail business of every sort done in the united states and if all retail business had been taxed as heavily as the gasoline and oil business was taxed the revenues would have been over 12000000- 000 an amount larger than all taxes collected from all sources by all gov ernment and subdivisions of govern ment one
