average state and lower than on any
other taxed property in Minnesota.
Better highways are costing Min
nesota auto owners nothing--the
good roads plan has resulted IN tax
reductions instead of increases as
agreed, the bulletin points out, sub
hitting that prospects for more re
auctions in the 1925 Legislature will
raise bad road taxes" for them.
1t suggests that good roads savings
on the first 900 miles year would
reimburse the average car owner in
the amount of his tax and yield him
gains afterward. Conditions on the
most used roads in the state, it adds,
are dependent entirely upon motor
vehicle tax receipts.
But the bulletin is given mainly to
official rate book reductions in Min
nesota motor vehicle taxes. The
first decrease was that to less than
SIT state lieu tax, which took the
place of the personal property and
licence fees averaging nearly SO.
while auto tax rates have been
raised to 2A per cent from 2 per
cent, the taxes have been reduced
as car prices dropped and allow
ances for depreciation were in
creased.
| Only the SIP minimum has re-
manned unchanged, and that because
of insistance that the use of Min
IneEota roads is worth not less than
Isl month to any car owner, and
further the fact that each 81 of cut
in the minimum would cut upwards
of $250,000 off the fund for need
ed highway betterments.
1t is held a different story, how
ever, with the higher priced cars.
Although there was an increase
to 2% from 2 per cent in the rate
reductions in automobile prices have
lowered the taxes. The Dodge 1925
curing car is taxed $24.20 this year
while the 1921 model was taxed
S25.70 that year; the Buick tax is
1851 against $500 on the re,
spective models the years they were
new; the Studebaker $37.13 against
SAB; the Packard $100.38 against
1920, and the Pierce-Arrow $144.3s
against $50.
More important reductions result
from the depreciation discount OF
10 per cent annually, in place of 81
per cent after and SO per cent
after five years as formerly. The
tax this year on Dodge touring car!
is $22.15 on the 1924 model, $19.6.
on 1923 models; $17.23 on 1872:
models and the 1921 models tax,
he SIS minimum. On Buick tour
ng cars it is $34.53 on 1924, $31.5'
on 1923, $2762 on 1922 and $23.6t
on 1921 models. On Packard tour
ling cars the tax is $9O.34 on 1924
l$80.30 on 1923; Stall on 1872:
and $63.53 on 1921 models.
Greater tax reductions resultin,
from the 10 per cent annual de
lpreciation discounts running up t.

THE REAL PROBLEM OF HIGH.
WAY FINANCING.
Ct. C. Morrison in The Morris
Tribune.)

If we would ride in automobiles,
there are three things we must do
buy car, pay for gas, oil and up
keep. and build the roads on which
the cars are to run.
This seems simple enough and yet
it seems the harde kind of a prob
lem to get some automobile owners
to understand that car without a
road to run on is useless piece of
mechanism.
People dig up the price for an
auto, they pay for supplies and up
keep as a matter of course, but
renig to the last degree in paying the
taxes that build and maintain the
r@&ls.
IN its bulletin this week, the Min
nesota Highway Department stres-
SEES this point. The automobile bill
Of the state is $115, 100000 a year,
plus .S45, 100000 for gasoline and
oil. and S25, 100000 for tires. all of
which makes the $10,00O,O00 or
$4,000, 900 asked for trunk high
ways look small.
Right here in Stevens county, car
owners are paying over $85O,OOo
annual automobile expense, while
they pay only $4,000 year TO the
state roads, which carry four-fifths
of the vehicle traffic.
If car owners would get these
facts in mind. it is hard to under
stand why there should be any
reasonable demand for reduction OF
the auto license. In fact, one would
rather expect to find the car owners
demanding that the state collect the
full $500 average agreed upon at
the same time the trunk highway
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-04-10

plan was adopted, with a gas tax on
top of that to further equalize car
expense according to road usage.
The unreasoning demand for the
reduction of auto taxes comes prim-
arily, so far as we have been able
to learn, from the car owners of
the cities, who buy cars ON time and
find the payments so burdensome
that the license fee seems unduly
onerous. We are reliably informed
by friend in the business or hand
ling "automobile paper" that ninety
per cent of the cars in the cities
are bought on time" These people
now have the use of paved and
graveled highways, and see no rea-
son why they should pay money to
retire the bonds that built these
roads. Since no part of the trunk
highway fund is spent within the
large cities, they have little interest
in constructing and maintaining the
trunk Highway system throughout
the state. Their sense of RESPONSE
bility to the road needs of the state
is attenuated.
The country districts have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
by insisting that auto taxes should
not be reduced but rather should be
put up to the SIS average. We are
also much to the good in insisting
on a gas tax, and there would be
both Justice and expediency in a
sales tax on autos to help meet the
road budget. OF course the, latter
NAV be a long time coming, but no
auto owner can expect the money
for roads to grow on bushes, and II
he once realizes how small part OF
his total auto expense goes into roads
and vet what an important part the
road is of the transportation equip
nent, he will cheerfully stand Tor
an adequate license to meet that
expense.

Recent statements from more OF
less authoritative sources have
caused much misunderstanding
about the proposition of heating
homes by electricity.
"It would require an installed
capacity of at least 20 horse power
for each home to be heated and
since this Capacity would cost more
than 800 per horse power to de-
yelop, there would be necessary
capital expenditure of $4,000 per
home. Transmission and distrlbu-
ton lines, etc, would add at least a
like amount or a total of over S4,-
600 per house." says the Gas Age
Record.
Continuing, it says, "If this Stup--
endous total of new capital could
be raised. even with only an 9 per
cent interest and depreciation
charge, there would be standby
cost of $500 a year, or over .S25 a
month against each home before
using any current at all.
Thoughts of heating homes by
electricity would not be worth con-
sidering were it not for the evident
belief of many people in its feast
bility. Hence, it seems only fair
that for their benefit, such figures as
these be presented to show the
actual, rather than the hoped for,
possibilities.

Some pessimistic newspapers are
in the habit of proclaiming that the
door of opportunity in this land OF
he free and home of the brave has
been forever closed to the poor and
unfortunate.
Some of the yellow journals shout
continuously that the poor have no
opportunities in America and make
appeal to class prejudice to convince
the poor that the rich have stolen
their birthright and doomed them to
industrial servitude.
The best answer to this is gven
by Roland Hayes, the sensational
negro soloist, a laundry boy whose
mother was a slave and who has
reached the heights of great art
and become one of the most popu-
lar singers in the world.
Inequalities of life are inherent
in human nature and will exisI in
spite of the most highlv paternal-
istic government. The socialistic
idea that all that is necessary IS to
pass more laws and take wealth from
those who have and give = those
who have not will never create the
utopia of human equality.
All over Our Country are men
and women, who, like the negro
laundry boy, are overcoming handi-
caps of poverty, ignorance. racial
inequality. social ostracism by their
native ability, capacity for work, en-
durance and character.
Individual effort helped Roland
Hayes to scale the heiohts "f Sic
cess, and the door of ouportunity
still opens freely to those who
knock. Preaching discomfort to
bring about class conflict and social
revolution will probably continue to
be the favorite and profitable occu-
patton of demagogs.
