State's General Fund Shows Excess A cash excess over current obligations in the California general fund was revealed today to be at an all-time high, according to a report from State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel. The excess on December 31, 1946, amounted to $26,897,805, up approximately 5% million over the November figure, and represents an increase of $151,441,095 over the excess of one year ago. Showing an increase of $37,559,-050, general fund revenues deposited in the state treasury during the first six months of the current fiscal year totaled $198,173,512, up 23% over revenues for the corresponding period last year. Retail sales and use tax headed the list with an increase of $31,631,4331. Inheritance taxes were up over 4 million, with motor vehicle license fees, insurance companies tax, liquor taxes and licenses, motor vehicle transportation tax and oil and mineral royalties on state lands also on the plus side. Kuchel's report disclosed that bank and corporation franchise and corporation income taxes showed the greatest decrease in revenue, off $1,261,929. Other sources showing a decrease in revenue include: Interest on investments and treasury deposits, pari-mutual fees, and personal income tax. Expenditures for the first six months were approximately 38% or $74,247,922, below the figure for the same period of the preceding year. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that certain statutory transfers were made from the general fund to other funds and reserves during the previous year.

The Oil Industry believes: California highways must lead the rest of the nation. New highways must be built. Our highways must be kept repaired. But facts show that it isn’t necessary to increase your gasoline tax to accomplish these objectives. READ CAREFULLY: 1. Highway funds now available total $140,000,000 2. During the next four years total highway revenue from all sources will add to the fund $528,000,000 This totals $668,000,000 3. Expenditures during this period (repairs, new roads and including the projected State super highways) will cost an estimated $633,000,000 4. This will leave a surplus of $35,000,000 In other words, all major improvements in California highways during the next four years will still leave a multimillion-dollar surplus in the highway fund without raising taxes. The Big Question is: Why does the State want additional hundreds of millions of dollars of YOUR MONEY during the next four years? How will this money be used? Before our gasoline sales tax is doubled (or even increased), every citizen in California has a right to know in detail where his money is going. Right now a special session of the California legislature is considering this tax increase. There is no time to lose. Express your views on this important matter. Write today to your Assemblyman and State Senator. Address him: State Capitol, Sacramento, California. A 3c stamp can save you 3c a gallon for years to come!
