ACCIDENT TAX
PROPOSED

RIIINELANDER, Wis.-iP1.-A
state official has come up with
an idea for tax that all good
citizens would try to dodge. It's
an accident tax, by which each
automobile driver would be tax
cd for accidents in which he was
involved. The amount of the tax
would depend on how much the
driver was to blame.
Raymond K. Jensen, vice chair
man of Wisconsin's highway
commission, preached the plan
in a speech before the annual
banquet of the summer high con
ference. Under the plan, offered
for your thought and com
ments, a state body Of accident
appraisers would investigate
each motor vehicle accident in
volving $50 or more damage. The
appraisers would establish the
rroportionate responsibility Of
each driver involved and issue TO
him q notice of assessment, with
a SIS minimum.
The tax rate would multiply
for succeeding mishaps until "a
driver who repeated in accidents
would soon reach tax rate so
high that he could no longer ar.
ford to continue to hold a driv-
er'S license.
