C. has written « letter to 1. J. Moe, p North Dakota State Good Roads As- | | sociation. The Tribune. reprints as a matter of info most vital issue lows: Mr. I. J. Moe,) President, jNorth Dakota State Good Roads As- iati MacDonald, chief of North Dakota. | Dear Mr. Moe 1 ha Decembe |to examine the proposed Good Roads measures which you sent me ‘under | separate cover. I note that the bill providing for |the registration and licensing of |motor vehicles contains a three- fold | \basis for determining the passenger vehicles, namely, value, weight and horsepower. Inasmuch as motor vehicles are exempt from jthe general prop in your | State 1 think it r to include | ithis value basis b: e it may be regarded as a substitute for the {property tax and that the amount of tax pgid should be ured by ; the owner's al y large ex sr y | lue of property which an in- dividual may have. I am, however, | unable to see why it is necessary to! jfollow both a weight and a horse-| power basis. After the tax feature | " {is eliminated, the only purpose for j charging an additional fee is to ex- jact from the motor vehicle owner |something for the use of the road. | It is generally admitted that heavy | and fast traveling motor vehicles a) more damage to a road than light and slow moving vehicles. It would | seem to me that a weight basis or aj horsepower basis, each one taken| alone, would be in acccrdande with | this principle of charging a fee commensurate with the amount of road use. This is particularly true} in cases where States also charge a line tax which varies in amount id annually with the mileage and weight of car and speed. My objec- tion, however, is not serious and, if you have this schedule of fees estab- lished at the present time, it may be better not to make any changes if the people are used to it. My chief Jobjection to the triple basis of de- jtermining license fees is that it is more complicated than necessary and that the ordinary man may have some difficulty in computing what his license fee should be. |. Iam not quite sure how you plan to apply the license fees proposed for motor trucks. The bill says that the rates shall be “$5 per ton up to and-including three’ tons’ capac- ity; $10 per‘ton of capacity greater than three tons, but not greater than four tons; and $15 per ton for ca- pacity greater than. four tons.” 1 am’ not sure what a four ton truck, for instance, would have to pay un- der this scale. A three tar truck would ‘be assessed a: fee of $15,. & four ton truck, if the $10 rate 1s ap- plied to the total capacity, would mean a fee of $40. This, in my és- timation, is too big a differential be- }tween a three ton truck and one whieh has.one ton more capacity. If ifees based upor 1T ¢ these rates ive manner, this not be so great. that a four ton! $5 per ton for the first three tons, or $15, plus $10 per ton for the fourth ton, a total payment of $25. As d motor truck apacity are charged license fe lue, weight truck would deter- | and n additi mined b horsepowe At the p ble to teil Jam un-' fees that ent writing whether the in this law are the those collected in 1 A calculation, which the Bu- reau made, covering the total motor vehicle revenues derived from 1 cense fees and from gasoline taxes, | showed that in 1923 the average li- ense fees in North Dakota amounted to $6.96. For the country as a whole the average was $12 e gasoline tax in North Dako’ that year averaged $4 in 2 per vehicle. TITLE HOLDER Helen Wills, Woman Tennis »: Champ, Boasts Many HELEN WILLS |State Highway System and in gen- ‘eral or Highway Commission, assisted by its jtem of State highways than a leg- fly met and jestablishment “of the State Highway however, in Section 2 that the-com- The average total amount paid in license fees and gasoline taxes was | $11.18 as compared with $14.96 which as the average for the country as a whole. It therefore appears to me that in the past the State has net been exacting an exorbitant amount from motor vehicle owners and, if these rates in this proposed bill are | the same as charged in 1923, it would appear that additional revenues could be obtained from motor vehi-! cle owners without doing them any {meeting at & great injustice when cOmpared with the fees which are paid in other; States. In 1923 the average license fee in South Dakota was $8.59 and the average gasoline tax, $4.74. In Minnesota the average license’ fec| $16.33, with no gasoline ‘tax. Considering the fact that the motor | vehicles in your States are exempt | from the general property tax, the fees which you have collected in: the past were among the lowest collected in any State in the country. The gas tax bill appears to me to b@ well drawn and follows substdn- tially the administrative procedure which other States have adopted and have been successful in administer- ing. The provision regarding the collection of the gasoline tax at the source is a wise one inasmuch as'the collection costs are very materially’ ed and the small dealer and butor is not bothered with the collection and accounting of monies for a State department. Indiana, 1 am informed, has a somewhat simi- lar provision in its law and as a re- sult of its efforts to collect the tax from the large dealers it is found that the collection cost amounts to only .12 percent of the gross amount collected. The gasoline tax measure which you propose contains another provi- sion which meets with my hearty approval. It is only fair and reason- able that gasoline used in tractors, stationary engines, motor boats, ait- craft, ete, be exempt from the ‘tax. A .good many of the States follow this principle but there are a num- ber of States which do not provide for any ‘refund where gasoline {s used for industrial and commercial purpeses. In Indiana it was found that only .16 percent of the total revenue collected was refunded be- cause of claims filed by those who did not use the gasoline in motor vehicles. Your provision which turns over all this gasoline tax money to the State Highway Commission meets with my approval. The motorist, I have found, does not seriously object to the payment of a gasoline tax when he knows that all the money collected in this manner is devoted to highway use and that its use in this manner will result in more ’im- proved and better maintained roads which in turn will tend to reduce his fuel and operating costs. In the concurrent resolution for an amendment to the constitution és- tablishing a State Highway Commis- sion I note that you propose that this commission consist of three members appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, and that these appointments ‘e for a term of six years. The pro- sion which you insert that the Governor can appoint=only one new member every two years is, in my} opinion, well advised. This provides a certain amount of continuity in this administrative organization which is really one of the most im- nt administrative boards which ate has. This provision pro- tects members of such a commission more or less from the political whims of a new elected Governor. This resolution also provides for a suggests that these highw extend as nearly as may be practica- ble from county seat to céunty seat and along recognized and registered highways. The final determination cf the location of such highways re- mains, however, with the State High- y Commission which, I think, is a fair and proper provision. A State engineers and investigators, is bet- ter fitted to plan in detail for sys- islative committee. In determining the location of ‘highways a certain amount of flexibility must exist so that Id¢al-conditians can be propcr- d of. The bill which\ provides for. the Commission and prescribes its pow- ers and duties is too long for me to comment on every detail. [ note, ners may not be removed from off ice except for cause “except that a commissioner may be removed without cause by the Governor who appointed him.” It does not appear to me that a Governor should have this supreme power even over his own appointees. If a Governor ap- points a man to his office and’ such appointment is confirmed by the Senate, it does not appear’ reason- able or fair to the appointee to have the Governor oust him without show- | ing sufficient cause for such ‘an act. With reference to Section 8, the plan that has worked .best with com- have the Chief Engineer’ act as the executive officer. The actual oper- ations of the commission cannot be divided into administrative and en- gineering and the Tines’ preserved: The day-to-day duties partake df both, and where the plan has .been tried of having a secretary as ad- ministrative officer and a chief en- gineer who also must pérform large- ly administrative duties, ‘it ‘has led to friction which has greatly hamp- ered the work. I think it: would be a mistake not to’ have sthe chief ad- ministrative officer’ the chief en, neer. Where~ there is a one-man commission giving fulltime, che be- comes‘ the adntinistrative’ | officer, bee you propose a commission : whieh’ believe is this time, since, there is so much. educational ‘work’ to be done,. and with the commisgion ‘as ‘thé admin- istrative body thé executive ; officer’ should be the chief engineer.
