After the accident to the Lubbers

Holm FavOrs Gas Tax

A tax on gasoline to supplement the
tax in order to compensate
for the difference between motor vehi-
cles as to the extent that they use
the highways, is among the recon-
mendations of Mike Holm. secretary
of state, to members of the legisla-
ture.
The registration tax might then be
made proportionately lower with cor
respondingly lower minimums, the re-
port stated.
A more equitable tax on automo-
biles was recommended in the report
submitted by Mike Holm, which also
proposed that the tax should be COM
puted on the same factory list price
each year for all corresponding models
of the same make regardless of what
the factory price may have been the
year when the various models were
manufactured.
The report states that in general
two complaints have been made in
regard to the law in its present form,
first that the meaning of many sec
tions is not clear, and second, that
the tax imposed is not equitable.
