MOTOR TAXES
ARE SUBJECT
OF MEETING

Because of the Importance OF
economical highway transportation.
a solution is needed for problems
involving motor vehicle taxation,
g. c. Stevenson, Secretary of the
Montana Petroleum Industries Com
mittee, declared before leaving for
Chicago to attend the Interstate
Conference on Automotive Taxation,
where these subjects will be dis
cussed. Twenty-eight states in the
southern, western and mid-western
part Of the United States will be
represented at the five-day confer
ence. which opens Monday, Novem-
Der 18th.
Mr.. Stevenson, will attend the
conference and report on tax and
highway conditions in Montana.
1.-THE tax bill of the American
motorist is larger than the taxes
paid by any other single group OF
taxpayers in the nation" Mr.. Stew
enson said. Last year it exceeded
one and one-half billion dollars, an
amount roughly equivalent to all
the taxes paid by all the manufac-
turing corporations in the United
States. Many owners of automo-
biIes pay more in taxes on their
motor vehicles than they pay upon
the home which they own or rent.
"But motor vehicle taxes is only
one of several problems facing
highway transportation today Bur
densome restrictions and the mis-
use in some States of highway
funds, like excessive taxation, ham
per the orderly development OF
deny the benefits OF
highway transportation, and un-
fairly shift the burden of taxation
upon those less able to pay.
obviously. the safeguarding OF
the rights OF highway transporta--
ton is in the public interest, and
the only way a solution can be
found is through the united eff
forts of many interested groups
working together"
