Mr. Yellding has acquired a large business acquaintance in the automobile trade here and will be glad to meet his friends at his new business address, LIMIT TAXIS SUGGESTION OF ALL AUTO MEN Motor Organizations Banded Together in Move to Elim- inate Revenues Limitation of taxation on automo: | to the amounts necessary for © maintenance of improved high- | vays and the administration of state motor vehicle departments with the | state as the sole taxing agency is! advocated in the report of the Motor Vehicle Conference committee on which is represented the American Automobile association, the Motor | ind Accessory Manufacturers asso: | ciation, the ational Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the National Automobile Dealers’ association and the, Rubber Association of America. Representatives of these five great national organizations after a care-| ful study of the taxing situation in} all parts of the United States declare that federal, state and municipal law makers and governing bodies are turning to motor vehicle manufac: ture, sale and use as fertile flelds for | raising a big share of the annual | revenues needed to finance govern: | mental activities and in doing this | are placing special taxes on the auto- mobile, which are rarely based upon sound theories of economics or equity. | The committee contends that no | money derived from the special taxa- | tion of the motor vehicle should be | spent for maintenance of highways unless such highways are located | here the highway transportation eds of the state require and unless | n highways are built of materials | d in a manner to meet these needs. | It is pointed out that every tax istessed against an automobile, with the exception of the personal prop- erty tax, is a special tax and the/ automobile ts subjected to a greater | percentage of this kind of taxes! than any other one class of property. Developm of good roads and their maintenance during the days of the animal drawn vehicle were financed through the expenditure of taken out of the general e, the law makers holding that whole people benefited by the the expenditure of money for such pur poses, With the advent of the auto- mobile this view gradually changed until today every legislator with a pet road building scheme for his own community plans to folst additional taxes on automobiles throughout the | state in order to raise the necessary money. Many legislators hold to a new theory, namely, that motor ve- hicle transportation should pay every penny of the highway’s burden an-| nually. The Conference committee regards such a theory as unwise economically and entirely unfair and unjustly ham: | pering to the logical and legitimate growth to which the motor vehicle It believes that the best is entitled. Interests of all concerned will be best | served by general taxation for high- way construction and spcial taxation of motor vehicles for highway main- tenance. “Every tax that fs lovied against the automobile eventually comes out of the pocket of the consumer,” sald M. O. Bldridge, executive chairman of the American Automobile associa- tion. “The widespread use of the automobile has placed small cars in| the hands of thousands who can III afford to pay an additional tax and who shguid not be required to pay special taxes while vast properties owned by men of wealth, which auto matically increases in value through the building of these same good) roads, are not required to pay any special taxes.” | Auto Wrecking Co We tear ’em down; everything saved but the honk.
