Tax Problem Looms.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 5.-Death
and taxes, those sure factors of
American life. are always in the bus
mess background. But the legisla-
lures of various States are going to
drag them into the limelight just
as soon as they get down to bust
ness for their 1925 sessions, through
legislation affecting the motorist.
Road and street congestion. with
consequent traffic accidents and
deaths, has become a treme ndous
factor in the national waste.
More roads and better roads are
being demanded in every section of
the Nation and this has an imme-
diatC reflection on the taxes which
residents of each State, county and
municipality must pay. Every State
has hundreds of millions of dollars
tied up in automobiles and highway
systems. Present methods of financ-
ing new roads, motor patrols and po-
lice regulation are inadequate to
protect either the motorist or the
pedestrian.
Better Plans Likely.
In the past development Of high
ways has been somewhat haphazard
and the burden of their financing has
been somewhat unequally divided
Permanent plans for development and
financing probably will be adopted
by many States within the next few
months.
Bond issues, 1t is pointed out by
economists in many sections, cannot
be retired fast enough to keep pace
with the demand for new highways
and replacements. Sparcely pop
ulated areas in many States are look
\, - nv q
Populous sections declare an undue
proportion of taxation is being borne
by them.
Oil companies are fighting against
a gasoline tax and the automobile
dealers, manufacturers and owners
are opposing excessive burdens be-
ing loaded on their shoulders. These
are all questions which must be set
tied. at least in part, by the State
solons.
Tax Changes Predicted.
State and local taxes have in
creased nearly Is per cent since
1928 but in the same period Federal
taxes have decreased 81 per cent, and
the National income has so increased
In that time that the amount of it
paid in taxes has decreased about
SO 1-3 per cent There is every indi-
administration are fulfilled, that Fed
eral taxes will continue to decrease.
But there is also evidence that State,
county and municipal taxes must in
crease to meet new demands.
This increase has been continuous
since 1919. in which year State and
local governing bodies borrowed
s691 900, 900. In the first II months of
1924 this sum had increased TO
sl,2S9, ,O0O.0 600, with corresponding ad-
vances in tax payments. The ques-
tion in 1925 will be, not how much
the traffic will bear, but how much
traffic. will demand. Each section
must determine on the basis of its
own financial standing just what
additional sums may be borrowed.
Good Roads Yield Profit.
There is small doubt that this bor-
rowing and consequent expenditure
on roads will yield a profit. Good

Local Stubborness.

The thing that stands in the way
of national uniformity is the firm be-
lief of many localities that their way
is best. We have the same thing, only
on a smaller scale, with the local
motorist, who persists in refusing to
keep abreast of the improvements in
regulations.
The y. \. AS investigation of this
subject shows conclusively that this
refusal is. in most instances. n form
of mental laZiness. One driver was
asked why he always wasted valuable
space by parking his car so far from
the fire hydrant, and his reply was TO
the effect that, not being sure as to
the local regulations in this respect,
he preferred to play safe by allowing
for an excessive margin.
Motorists who play safe in this
way simply make it more difficult for
others to park their cars. which, in
