WHEELAGE TAX PROPOSED
FOR MINNESOTA STATE

EEEH lH2E5at SgESgNEGEsM HaE" geHHt-FEai
The plan of imposing a graduated
wheelage tax on all vehicles for the
benefit of street work has been post
poned in st. Paul, because of the i'm
possibility of passing a similar meas
ure in Minneapolis without legislative
enactment. With such an inter-
change Of street traffic as there is
been in the twins, it would obviously
be unfair to expect st. Paul to col
lect such a tax, while vehicles owned,
in Minneapolis go scot free.
Unless and until the legislature
comes to the rescue, there will thus
be no pushing of the plan. But it is
to be hoped the Hennepin delegation
will next year SO arrange matters
that Minneapolis may join st. Paul
in this admirable plan.
The proceeds of such a tax should
be put in the hands of the city engin-
eer for repairing main travelled
streets everywhere in the city and
for contributions to permanent paw
ing of such streets. With the fund
thus raised he would doubtless be
able to make the ~intracity ends of
Iradial highways to surrounding terri
tory passable, thus eliminating the
serious obstacles to traffic from and
to the country that now exist.
The theory of the Wheelage tax is
sound. Its burden, which after all is
relatively light on each individual
owner of a vehicle, falls on precisely
those whose use of %roadways makes
heavy charges necessary. Take a
concrete example:
South Lyndale Avenue beyond Lake
street is a main taloroughfare for
heavy traffic of all sorts. Five years
ago is was macadamized, but the road
has proved entirely incapable of sup
porting the traffic. 1t has been worn
full Of humps and bubbles. Under the
present system the rehabilitation of
tLyludlS SfShuS VII! tdll DIS q HCdSy
burden on the AUDITING property own
ers, despite the fact that the street
has been worn out by traffic from all
over the city. Under a wheelage tax
the road would be maintained by its
users, who in case of the ordering OF
permanent pavement would probably
help bear a burden that ought not to
be placed wholly on the property
owners.
OF course, a wheelage tax should
be graduated SO as to bear a direct
relation to the amount of wear an6
tear on streets inflicted by each class
of vehicle. Light buggies do less
harm than heavily loaded wagons
runabouts less than limousin
ing cars less than great freighting
trucks.
