AUTO TAX SURVEY
STARTEDBYA.A.A A.
Poll of Motorists to Get
Views on Increasing Levies
to Gain Funds.

The A. A. A. District of Columbia
Motor Club today started a city-wide
poll of motorists through distribution
of thousands of ballots, in its cam
paign against higher automobile taxes
here.
"The threat to increase local motor
levieS appears more serious now than
ever BEFORE" said Russell E. Singer,
general manager of the A. A. A., land
this danger can be averted only by
concerted opposition on the part of
washington car owners.
Through city-wide distribution of
the tax ballots, citizens will be given
an opportunity to express their senti-
ments and their views will be laid be-
fore the Commissioners and Congress.
Increase in the gasoline tax and
imposition of weight tax are entirely
unnecessary and unjustifiable in the
light of present needs. Gasoline taxes
already are more than sufficient to pay
the motorists share of local street and
highway costs, while registration and
other miscellaneous fees are more than
sufficient to pay for the cost Of motor
vehicle administration.
Motor taxes should not be in
creased to meet needs of the general
fund, however pressing. This is di-
version, pure and simple, and puts a
double burden of taxation on the
shoulders of the motorists alone.
I'm place of increased motor taxes,
there should be substantial Federal
contribution toward local street and
highway costs. It is high time that the
Federal Government recognizes its
responsibility in this regard. District
motorists pay heavily in Federal taxes,
but the District has no share in the
$125 200, 900 annual Federal-aid ap-
preparation. The Federal Government
operates thousands of tax-free vehicles
on our streets and finally. the District
has made expensive street improve
ments in line with Federal plans for
development Of the Nations Capital.
There should be compensation, in part
at least, for all these factors"
