Changes on Taxation


 Another important matter which will come up relates 10 the taxa ton of certain types of motor ve- hicle. The public service mstor vehicle must be more carefully class ed and defined. All such should have insurance qualifications for the safety of those who ride in them, Those now cassed as "ntneys' should be taxed on 3 more adequate basis than is at present the case.
 An immense amount Of freight Is carried on commercial motor Ne- hicles owned by individuals and transportation companies hauling freight as buslness, both resident and out of the state. The fees col- lected from this type of vehicle is not adequate 10 compensate for tho wear and tear on the highways, and the present method Of taxation for this particular class needs revision.
 Certain classes of commercial mo- tor vehicles are now overta1ed, These cases include those vehicles which are, by their nature, incapable of making long journeys, and others which run exclusively on city streets and not on he highways of the state. Justice must be done 10 these.
 Registration of vehicle too slow 10 keep up with average traffic must be restricted and regulated. The crl- tnrion for decision as to speed will probably be based on present con- struction. The intent is 10 prevent the necessity for registering any Ne- hicle incapable Of making speed at least equivalent to that Of th" slowest vehicles registered today. Ill
