Put Burden On Motorists,

1T is our earnest desire to
keep down the tax levy and to
that end we proposed the ,gaso-
line tax in our message to the
legislature" said Gov. Charles
G. Moore at Boise last week.
when discussing house bill No.3,
by Jarnagin, levying a tax of 2
cents a gallon on motor vehicle
fuel oils.
Idaho farmers are laborine
under a heavy tax burden and
the proposed gasoline tax is an
effort to shift the cost of main
tanning our highways upon the
shoulders of those who use
them.
'The farmer has carried the
big cost of building our roads
through tax levies," continued
the governor, "and what we pro-
pose now is to !. relieve him of
this burden and let him pay only
according to- the use he makes of
the roads. :
IF he does not run his car he
will not be assessed for main
tanning the roads. In that way
he can save as he desires. The
gasoline tax would fall upon
the tourists and those who use
the roads for pleasure driving to
help in their upkeep, but on the
other hand, if the gasoline tax is
not put into effect it would be
necessary to put upon the farmer
a direct levy that he cannot
avoid because funds must be
raised to maintain the roads.
If he uses his team on the roads
and keeps his automobile in the
shed he does not have to pay
for the road maintenance under
the gas tax law"
A measure of this character
was Endorsed at conference Of
western state officials at Sacra-
mento last December and was
proposed by Governor Moore in
his message to the legislature.

URGE RIGID ECONOMY
Commissioners Convention Op-
poses Gas Tax.


Unalterable opposition to un-
necessary measures tending to IN
crease taxation and Endorsement
of proposed legislative enactment
to reduce present tax leVles
formed the theme OF resolutions
passed at the closing session OF
the fifteenth annual convention
of Idaho county commissioners at

given the position taken by GOV.
6. G. Moore in his message to the
commissioners convention adVo-
eating extreme economy.
Extravagant use of road funds
by the highway department due
in the opinion of the commission
ers, to- mismanagement, was
charged in resolution
adopted. 1t was expressed that
the conditions existing in the
highway department are mtol-
erable and that the governor
should make such changes as
would insure economy and better
service.
That there are too many ex-
emptions from taxation and thai
some of the present exemptions
should be wiped out, was voic
by the commissioners. The COM
missioners asserted that they
were "unalterably opposed to
any further exemptions being al
lowed"
Opposition was voiced to the
widows and orphans pensions
and other permanent aids to the
INDECENT until the claims have
been passed upon by the board
of county commissioners. Reso-
lutions were passed opposing fur
ther tax levies, either state
or county, for school purposes
and opposing anyone voting for a
tax or a bond issue who is not a
taxpayer.
Other resolutions adopted at
the convention sounded opposi
ton to the teachers institute
being held after the opening OF
the school year; opposition to
needless and uncalled for litiga-
ton and court procedure, which |
causes burden on the judges of |
the supreme court; opposition to |
the appeal above the district
court of bootlegging cases and
cases Of minor Importance where
the amount involved is often less
than 800 and where a jury trial
is called for; opposition to any
that will remove the
present tax on personal property
where it is lien on real estate
favoring a, tonnage tax on trucks
used for logging and like pur-
poses where heavy trucks are
used, the money derived from the
tax to- be used for the mainten-
ance of the highway where the
trucks are used.
The convention went on record

bill 3, which provides for tex
Of 2 cents to- be placed upon all

ion was unalterably opposed te
