Nor does it distinguish between the wealthy motorist and the man who uses his ivver to earn his daily bread. The more decrepit his car, the more gas it is likely to consume. We suppose that in the case of every tax the government is trying to find the saturation point, to learn at just when the law of diminishing returns defeats the object of the tax increase. It is in the hands of the motorists to show the government that the point has been reached and passed with another two cents a -gallon on gasoline. The motorists have already done their share and a good deal more than their share in the matter of paying for the building and maintenance of highways. We have no idea whether the tax is neces- sary, or whether it involves a breach of faith, or whether the government cannot raise the money it urgently requires in no fairer way. These will be things for the government to establish. All we suggest is that those who have their own rea- sons for objecting to the tax have in most cases the effective means in their own hands for resist- ing it..
