COMMISSION URGES STRICT REGULATION OF GAS TAX REFUND Larger Proportion of Levy in N. D. Rebated Than in Any- Other State “Stricter” administration of gas tax refunds was urged Wednesday by the state tax survey commisison in a re- ‘port on taxation for highway finance. Declaring that a “larger propor- tion” of the gasoline tax collected in North. Dakota has been refunded “than in any other state,” the report advanced several proposals in connec- tion with taxation for highway pur- Poses. ‘The commission recommended: Complete administration of the gas tax in the state tax department rather than under three different depart- ments as at present. Either a reduction in the amount of tax refunded or legislation that gas for non-road purposes be dyed a distinctive color. Allocation of the counties’ share in the gas tax on a different basis. A well balanced spending program. ‘Transfer of motor vehicle inspection work to the state highway patrol from the regulatory department eliminating “unnecessary duplication.” Pointing out the trend taken by gas- oline tax refunds allowed for uses of gasoline other than in motor vehicles on the highways, the commission. said that refunds constitute a large share. of the gross tax collected. Percentage of gasoline tax receipts refunded jumped from 15 per cent jn 1926 to 42 per cent of the gross tax collected in 1930-31, but has approxi- mated: 33 1-3 per cent of the past five years, the report disclosed. “While several states have abolished this state.” Old-style footwear for horses is be- ing replaced by a non-skid norseshoe that gives the wearer a firmer grip giving the horses far more quiet tread.
