DOUBLE TAXATION


Plans 10 combat the double taxa
tiou" recently imposed on automobiles
by reason Of the new state good roads
law. will be discussed al q mass meet
ing Of auto owners TO be held In the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms tonight
at 8 o'clock.
Every autoist in the city is expected
TO be present The Tulsa Auto club
will be reOrganized, largely for the
purpose Of testing out the license
question
The state is imposing tax on
autos. which is supposed to be in lieu
Of ali other tax and license fees, but
the city Of Tulsa maintains that it
still has the power 10 collect the usual
automobile license fee.
Auto owners are between the devil
and the deep blue sea- and their only
course is to either pay both the state
and city license or get together and
fight it out in the courts.
In tho event that a sufficient NUM-
Der OF auto owners show up at tho
meeting the auto clubs will be placed
upon a sound footing and the license
matter can be tested in the courts.
for "in union there is strength and
an individual autoist would be- foolish
10 take ,he case into court Ut his own
expense.

These drawback could be avoided

state assume title to natural resources

need but abolish all taxes except the.
en- land values. That will untaa
