Committee Recommendation
Now here are the four main measures
which the Interim Committee has just
recommended for consideration by the
1855 legislature:
l. Increase state gasoline tax from
6 to 7 cents gallon. This will raise
an estimated $4,000. 900 annually after
refunds for nonhighway use.
2. Increase diesel fuel tax from 6 to
3 cents. This should raise $425,0OO a
year.
8. Increase the gross weight vehicle
tax. This is expected to bring in $780,
900 more.
4. Enact new diesel tax law bonding
both users and sellers. This law will
be designed to minimize tax evasion
and Increase collections by about $780,
600 year.
According to the results of the Mon
tana Farmer-Stockman poll q good
share of farmers and ranchers will be
willing to consider an Increase in tax
on fuel used on highways. but they are
likely to take dim view of an increase
In the gross vehicle weight tax.
Gross Weight Tax Increase
Here's what the Interim Committee
recommends for the gross vehicle
weight tax and the explanation it gives
for its recommendation:
First, it would increase all rates 16
per cent. Such an increase will just
bring Montana rates more nearly to
the levels prevailing in other states,
according to the committee.
Then it would establish rates on farm
vehicles at 60 percent of those of other
vehicles. Farm trucks are now taxed at
only 20 per cent of the rate on other
vehicles
Here are the reasons for this recon-
mended change as stated in the COM
mittee report:

The association still is suffer-

ing to Don Gaynor, new presi-

81 teams in the three age classes
last year and, by the time the

month, the number should be
around so for this season.
That's not much increase in
size. The biggest changes have
come in operating efficiency,
Gaynor points out. Last year
we didn't have the organization.
We were sloppy about uniform
requirements, the balls we used,

really nothing wrong; we just
had to live with it a year."
