state trunk highway construction
is now financed by three units.
Whereas. we believe that the
loading of the states share of
this fund on a general property
tax and especially the requirement
that the counties shall raise an
equal amount by a general prop
erty tax is unjust and has become
a burden to many counties in the
state,
Whereas, We are thorough be-

that the burden of constructing
and maintaining those roads
should be borne by those most
benefited. the owners of automo-
biles and trucks. Today the co.
600 miles of town highways are
built and maintained by a general
property tax. We believe that the
burden of the construction and
maintenance of the 1900 miles of
state trunk highways and the
1900 miles of county trunk high
ways should. instead of being put
on the shoulders of the general
property taxpayer, be placed on
motor vehicles. The motor veh-
icle has created the demand for
good roads and is getting the
benefit from them and hence the
owner should pay a larger part of
the bill.
Whereas. at present no less than
20e5 of the motor vehicles regis
tered each year are not assessed
for local tax purposes and it is
a conservative estimate that thir-
