The ac tion of the committee relative to the' was based upon the following reasons: There is now a .live, per cent ta on all i nw automobiles and a five per cent tax . ,. accessorjes. Tlure is a personal' ! property tax on all automobiles, same as oa any other property. In many) cities there is a city tax on commercial j iaotor cars and on motor cars and on automobile freight i hauling there Is a federal tax of five j .per cent. Thfii in addition to all this, aj license fee is raid on all automobiles Which tax is aboul as high as the averag of license fees for the various states . the union. Contrasted with this there are more than six horss to every autoi the -highways. There ari t more steel tired vehicles in Indiana than there are fvv.tomoblles, but no license fee is paid on any steel tired vchlc! The United jarrted on experiments which showed that the construe Mrn of hard surfaced highways in son-. sections of the country increased the valuj of adjacent farm land from ten ! per cent to as high as 29 per cent, but) ! uo one tu Indiana is asking property j ! adjacent to our state highways to pay a i special fee or tax. because of th Jn-. creased value of that land due to thj I improvement of these new state high-j ways. j Tho last legislature authorized a ten I P"r cent levy for the State Highway j ""ommisalon and it was the understand-j :ng of those most interested In the; "Good Roads Frogras" that this !vy would be continued for the increase in real estate valuations, but the tan board ! eUt. tne levy down to s. cents so as to raise t.io same volume or money unar I the r.ew valuations as was raised during j 1H13 under the old property valuations. , I his cut in appropriations lor vne use i of the State Hjghway Commission so! handicaps the commission that it can-j t not contract for another mlie of high-jv.-ay to be built during 1?20.
