TAXES LEVIED IN WISCONSIN
EXCEEDS HUNDRED MILLION
State, County and Local Levies
Included; First Time in the
History of the State.

For the first time in the history
of the State Of Wisconsin, total
state, county and local taxes levied
annually have exceeded 100000
600, according % a statement issued
by the tax commission
In the past 20 years, total taxes
levied have increased five-fold,
while valuation Of general property
has increased a little over half ms
much proportionately The table
issued by the commission concerns
general property taxes only, and
does not include income, inheritance,
railroad, or other taxes on statewide
utilities.
Sharp advances i'm levies and rates
is noted in 1913 and 1920. The
first, 1913, to cover "a excessive
remission Of statewide taxes in
1912, and the 1920 advance was to
re-adjust expenditures to wartime
prices, it was said.
The normal increase in the total
property tax since 1903 is between
$1,000,O0O and S2,000O0O In
only one year, 1922, was a de-
crease noted.
The total levy in 1903 was 500
640,543 and in 1923 (yet to be col
lected) S1O0,120.302. The in
crease from 1903 to 1917 was only
about $10,000,000, and taxes in
creased to $4,000, 900, an increase
Of $4,000 in the two war years Of
1918 and 1919, the statement show
ed.
Average tax rates applied to cor
porations have decreased the past
two years, according 10 the state
ment. The 1921 ! eyy rate was
.02110, and the rate for 1924 is
.02065.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
THE GASOLINE TAX
By F. A. Cannon, Executive Secret
airy, Good Roads Assn. of
Wisconsin.

The gasoline tax is measure of
road use and means of making the
user of the road pay according to its
use.
While it measures benefits re-
ceived, it also takes into considera-
ton the ability TO pay. A high priced
$4,000 car will run 9 miles on a
gallon of gasoline for which the
owner will pay cents. A Ford
will run 1S miles for which the
owner will pay cen The man
with the costly car pays double the
amount for a given mileage than the
man with the cheap car.
Not only is the gasoline tax an
equitable one, but it has other at
tractive features. One is that the
cost of administration or collection
would be exceedingly low, lower
than any tax we have. We have
the machinery set up for assessing"
the gasoline. All gasoline coming
into the state is inspected by re-
representatives. of the department
which has operated for years known
as the Inspector of Illuminating Oils.
Under the proposed gasoline tax
all that would be necessary to do
would be for these inspectors to
make out a duplicate slip, return it
to the secretary of state, and within
a fixed time the law would require
the fee to be paid. The whole
saler would pay the fee when the
gasoline arrived in quantity.
Reports from throughout the
country show an amazingly low cost
of administration, the highest being
l cent. In some states the secretary
Of states office handles the matter
and makes no separate charge as the
regular employees do the work. 1t
would cost between $4,000 and
$4,000 in Wisconsin. In Indiana
the cost of collecting $2,5O0,000
was $4,000.
Another important feature is that
the tourists of which there are tens
of thousands in Wisconsin every
year, would, under the gasoline tax
help to pay for the roads they wear
out. II is estimated that this
would yield $450, 900 a year.
Finally, the tax will be little felt
by the taxpayer as it is paid in small
amounts from week to week, and
does not nit him even as license
does. Ten gallons of gasoline in the
tank would mean 20 cents. The
opportunity FOR pyramiding the price
as it is called, adding to it on account
of the tax, is removed by the fact
that oil dealers of Wisconsin an
nounced they proposed to do as many
other states, post the regular price
every day plus the 2 cents tax, like
the movie picture houses do on adj
missions.
