STAGE LINES AND
TAXICABS MUST
PAY BACK TAXES
ny United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dee. H.
Seven thousand California Cruck,
taXicab and auto stage owners to-
day faced immediate suspension of
their licenses as the result of action
taken by Frank G.. Shook, chief of
the State Division of Motor We
kicles, upon advice served upon him
by Rav L. Riley, state controller.
This action is taken to recover to
the state approximately 100000
in delinquent taxes from these oper-
ators, Riley said, for operating for
hire outside of incorporated cities,
under provision OF the l923-25 Mo
tor Vehicle transportation License
Tax Act.
Notices were being forwarded to-
dav to all deliquent owners, giving
them 10 days in which to pay their
back taxes. A blanket order sus
pending the licenses of all who have
not paid at the end of the 10 day
period will then be issued.
State traffic officers will be noti-
fled to remove the license plates
from such vehicles and prohibit
their owners from operating them
on California highways.
In the meantime Riley is asking
Attorney General L. s. Webb to file
suits against the delinquent owners
for payment of four percent of their
gross receipts. less city and county
taxes. The law. passed in 1928, was
repealed by the 1927 Legislature, eff
fective January l, 1923.
Stage lines are exempt from pay
ment of the tax since March ! of
this year by constitutional amend
ment. but those upon which taxes
were due prior to the date will be
subject to the suspension order.
