Carolina Motor Club Head Says
High Fees Keep Many Cars
Oft Highways
Suggests Law To Put Half-Year
Charge Into Effect For The
Present

Immediate enactment by the
North Carolina General Assembly
of a law providing for the sale now
of state automobile license plates
at the six-months fee was sug-
geseed as a method of getting
thousands of cars out of storage
and into general use again by Cole
man W. Roberts of Greensboro,
president of the Carolina Motor
club.
III is my personal opinion that
The state would derive greater rev.
Anne-fthe General Assembly will,
Immediately enact a law providing
for the sale Of automobile passen-
ger Car plates now at the six
months fee," said Mr.. Roberts.
Ordinarily this half-year fee would
not become effective until July /.
EFF it is provided that the six
months fee become effective imme-
diately, thousands of caf that
would not otherwise be licensed
and buying gas, would have license
plates at once and enhance the re-
venue of the state through the gas
oline tax, that would more than
offset the quarter-of-a-year reduc-
ton which this arrangement would
provide.
"This, of course, would be a
measure to meet the present emer-
gency. Such a law would give
great relief to those car owners
who have not been fortunate
enough to have been able to buy
their plates earlier. This measure
would apply to the present year
only and incidentally would give
us some experience to judge just
what the reaction would be to a
reduction in license plate fees.
Gar owners urged the building
of our great highway system and
am sure they have no desire to
shirk their responsibility to pay a
just tax. But present taxes on in
dividual passenger cars are exhor-
bitant, and | feel that the car own
ers are entitled to some considera-
ton and some relief, just as we
are providing relief for bankers
and farmers. The present gas tax
alone is a 81 per cent sales tax and
the car owners have carried this
burden without complaint, but the
time has come when consideration
must be given to reducing the IL
cense plate fee.
cit must be remembered that
when an automobile is kept off the
highway due to high license plate
fees, that the state is not only los
ing the small fee that might be
easily paid, losing the gas tax, but
business in general is retarded be-
cause when a person travels in an
automobile, they buy hotel ac-
commodations, food, clothing, in
surance, automobile supplies and
entertainment. The more cars OPP
Grating greater is the volume of
trade in all lines and greater is the
revenue for the state"
