Thursday, Jan. 1, 1931 MOTORISTS TO PAY INCREASED TAXES American Auto Assn. Expert Is Predicting Additional Car Expenses T The average car owner will pay " per cent more taxes this year than he paid in 1929, according to the prelim- inary estimate of motor vehicle taxes made by the American Automobile association. Coincident with the issuance of this statement, the A. A, A. announce'd that Thus. P. Henry of Detroit, its presi.dent, had appointed a national cummittee to study every type of mo- tor vehicle levy and to develop a for- mula to assure equitable taxation for the car owners. Mr. Henry cited three reasons which he declared made it imperative that the entire motor tax structure and the practices and tendencies inherent in it,.shuuld be subject to a compre- hensive examination at this time. First, the wholly disproportionate rise in motor taxes from year to year as compared with other forms of taxa- tion; the evidence of efforts at whole- sale diversion of the tax to other than road purposes; and third, the proba- bility that the excuse of "hard times" will lend many of the 44 state legis- latures meeting early in 1931 to make further raids on the car owners, Mr.) Henry said in part: , Paying More Each Year "Our preliminary estimate for this your shows that the motorist on the average will pay $33 in motor taxes in 1930 as compared with $28.56 in 1929. Under 16 different forms the taxes on the car owners are being constantly pyramided. In the 10-year period, 1021-30, motor vehicle levies from gas taxes and license fees have increased 509.6 per cent in motor ve- hicle registration and 150.3 per cent in expenditures for highways. "The motorists are now confronted with a new situation which may well open the way for wholesale diversion to general purposes of state and local administration of levies placed on them as a class. Two notable preeed- ents were established in N6vember elections in New Jersey and in Louis. iana. In the former state hondjssues totaling $17,000.000 were authorized for public institutions and inland waterways, to be retired from gas tax collections. In Louisiana the gas tax was raised one cent per gallon in order to provide funds for port devel- opment. The automobile is pot as yet a sea-going vehicle.

Arthur Generally regarded as the last real wilderness in the Great Lakes region, the northern shore of Lake Superior will be accessible to motorists within approximately one year with the con- struction of a highway between Port Arthur and Sault Ste. Marie, accord- ing to the touring bureau of the Chi. cago Motor club. Lake Superior, the bureau pointed out, is the only remaining great llke Mill unbounded by a highway. At the present time some two-thirds of the shore line are necessible to ma- torists--from Sault Ste. Marie west along the south shore to Duluth, and northeast to Port Arthur. The gap in the circuit is some 400 miles long. It is practically uninhabited by humans, but comprises one of the best hunt- ine grounds on the continent. Moose, deer and bear abound there.
