HIGH TAXES ABROAD
HURT AUTO TRADE
Japan May Adopt More Gen.
erous Policy After Investi-
cation in United States.

! High and discriminatory taxes on
MOTOR vehicles are proving to be in
| curious to motor transportation OF
certain foreign countries.
In japan this is Strikingly Illus
trated. The authorities of Toxic, ap-
parently seeking revenue, raised the
motor tax by SO to so per cent. The
operating costs became excessive and
many cars were retired from service.
At the time there were 5000 cars in
circulation. Upon promulgation of the
law 6o0 licenses were returned and A
like number placed in storage A
major problem of Japan. that of con-
gestion in cities, was made more diff
cult of solution because of the de-
crease in modern transportation.
Study L. s. Traffic rnngementx.
The central Japanese government,
realizing this error, recently sent an
official to the United States to study
our traffic arrangements. His concIu-
sion was that Japan can solve it's
problem of congested cities best by
encouraging motor vehicle tranSpor-
tation. The removal of discrimina-
LOFTY stic, hign i taxes Is the first step. and
acton in that direction may soon be
officially recommended to the prefec-
lures throughout Japan.
In France, the Generalization of the
automobile industry is directly trace
able to high taxes. Although French
vantage in their home market be-
cause of an import duty of as per
cent, they are still unable to keep
their factories reasonably busy. The
numerous and high taxes make opera
ton of any type OF motor vehicle ex-
ceedingly expensive. and many per-
sons, whose occupation might make
use of an automobile prerequisite
have to forego it's time saving ad-
vantages and perform their work in
a less efficient manner
The automobile situation in England
is similar to that of France. Motor
vehicles, despite their utility value
which was especially emphasized dur
ing strikes, are taxed. The inequity
of this assessment is being demon
strated by experiences of automobile
owners, who are urging a modifica-
tion or a repeal
A contrast from that of these three
countries is afforded in the taxation
policy Of Canada, where the taxes de-
rived by the provinces are devoted to
the maintenance of roads. and where
the central government imposes no
discriminatory taxes. Canada's motor
vehicle registration. $4,000. is nearly
