BORGER HONORS EDITORS
OF PANHANDLE AREA
BORGER, Oct. 1.—Twenty-five
newspaper editors from the Tex-
a luncheon by
Mrs. Clarence Enochs of Amar-
illo visited friends and relatives
here, Wednesday.
dustries committee said
The nation’s total gasoline tax
bill for 1940 will approximate
$1,162,000,000, the biggest reve-
nues from that source on record
and about $130,000.000'more than
was collected in 1939, the commit-
tee estimated.
The chief factor in the increase
in the 1940 tax hill, the commit-
tee said, is the advance in the fe-
deral gasoline tax to 1 1-2 cents
per gallon.
“This tax, which was inaugu-
rated by Congress in 1932 as a
‘temporary’ measure, duplicates
the taxes of the states,” the com-
mittee pointed out.
Increased automobile ownership
and' greater use of motor vehicles
by their owners also are factors
contributing to the increased tax
bill, the committee stated.
Borger Rotarians today in observ-
ance of national newspaper week
were told by John L. McCarty of
Amarillo News-Globe that a free
press guarantees democracy.
J. C. Phillips, editor of the Bor-
ger Herald, directed the program
and escorted the editors through
the carbon plants and refineries
of Borger.
