Pity The Automobile Owner
The automobile owner i.s one of our largest payers of jnecial taxes. During lOCO, his total tax bill was in ex- cessof SI.000.000.030.
Of thi.s, license fees accounted for $375,000,000: city ta.'^- „ IL'y.O.'J.ouO. aud personal propeny levies. $130,000,000.   As' ¦.'natural, the (lasn'.iie tax was the   gargantua among the items. With a to'.al of $515,000,000.
T;c e .-: ••'3tics sl;o',v vividly v.liy motor owners are hs- ilr.ning to --low rebeM.ous when :urt;:er gas tax incrt.ifcLM— ifavonie tpcrt oi IcjisL-JtuV's—are proposed. The old crack tbout work.iiB a willing horse to death aptly describes tl.s lituation. Ti.e car o-..ntr iiuy see th? justice in contrii;i;'.- Ing larfely to tlie cost oi"l'..f roaci.s he uses—but ¦¦:l.'y.: lus money i.s spent for ocher purposes lie justly wonders what it Isail akput. Tj-.e pr.nciple of ecjuahty of taxation is shat¬ tered agaiJ't the jr.s tn::.
8t'.itcs '..:.i'h l.r ?_ado:.jted five and si:: cent tax rates nay find t'.at the un'oinobile owner will liot always be crai- escent whm his pocl:et book is unfairly tampered with. The gas tax h?.-^ L\.co:;ie a legislative mania. We need a return to normalcy.
The Runaway Tax Collector
It begii'.s to look as If taxpaylng Americans will have their hands full during tiie r.est ye.tr or so trying to l;eep taxes from getting bej ond all limits.
In many states measures ha'e been passed whose In¬ evitable efTect must be to place a greater burden on busi¬ nesses, property-owners, workers. Levies have besn siiifted from one t. pe ot property to another—on the supposition that this ccnscitutes tax relief. N'ew and almost unknown forms cf taxes—state income taxes. Intangibles taxes, etc.— iiave cbnie into being.
Too many public offlcia's are seeking more funds to spend; too :e,v are sceiiing ways to iO.\er c&»t ol govern¬ ment.
It is about time our citizens took affairs in their own hands and .''aid "Wlioa!" to th? runaway tax collector.
