tainly the truckers are not the sole
beneficiaries of the highway expend-
itures which a proper incremental
cost study may assign to their COM
mercial vehicles. They provide the
transportation service, and the phil
osophy of a tax system can be to
collect from them in the first instance
the cost that the state incurrs on their
behalf. But in turn, the transporta-
tion customer and his customer on
down to the ultimate consumer are
also beneficiaries in a real sense. By
the time the increased tax cost is

they now pay under the GVW and
they are exempt from mileage fees.
If they are to>be exempt from mileage
fees. then the flat rate should be sub
stantially higher. The schedules listed
in Sub. HB 228 for farm and logging
trucks are not the schedules recon-
mended by the Fact Finding Com

If any group of large vehicles, farm
or logging, or both, could substantiate
the fact that practically all the We
hicles in their weight group would
operate under fairly similar mileage,
flat fee basis probably could be ap-
piled to them, however, it is doubtful
if this fact could be substantiated.
Finally. it is significant to note
that while you place heavy empha-
sis on the percentage of vehicles

noted that the remaining 40 gen.

the inequity of this tax idea in that
it charges the same for the truck

Sub. HB 22S has been hailed by it's
