Ativan taree months, in 6r nee., IXUU . .50 ALEMpfir UTA STATE PRES ASSNL From the point of view of an expert, we believe the state highway commission is in a better position to judge the need of funds for state road purposes than is the Secretary of State. At a recent meeting of the state municipal league, cbmposed of the mayor of the state, a resolution was passed recommending legislation to divert a part of the gasoline taxes to the cities for special purposes. It is, therefore, manifest that we may expect an effort will be made at the coming legislature to divert a part of our gasoline taxes, or increase the present gasoline tax, to obtain funds for other purposes than for state roads. This proposed attack makes it necessary for all motorists to be on guard to prevent any rape on our road funds. Scenic Utah Motorist.

For years the motorists of Utah have patiently submitted to , a tax tames as equal to five and much on the invested dollar as any other class of property in the state of Utah. This tax includes the personal property tax; equal to any other tax; and in addition the state license tax, and the gasoline tax, the total as stattimes as ed, is about five and great as any other tax in the state, on the assessed valuation of the property taxed. 7 The motorist has submitted (it is a question as to whether it is constitu tional or not) for the sole purpose of raising funds for building, improving and maintaining roads. The amount of these taxes raised each year has increased abnormally, because the use of the' automobile has so increased. It is also true that the increase in the number of automobiles has automat- ictlly, abnormally, increased the neces sity of more funds for building, improving 'and maintaining roads. It is doubtful if the tax money has increas ed in proportion to the need of funds , for road purposes. Therefore, it Is Titally, important that the jwaterist protect their own road funds; created by a special tax on them; from the hands of grasping politicians, who would, it they could, divert road funds T. for other purposes. The gasoline tax which now exacts lf cents from every three and motorist who buys a gallon of gas, is the largest of the funds collected, and h therefore coveted by the politician looking' or more funds to spend. . It is a foct the gasoline tax in addition to other taxes paid by the motorist la hardly sufficient to maintain our road program, but if for any reason it is more than we need for roads, the logical thing to do Would be to reduce , this tax on the motorist, because the ; gasoline tax- is a road tax pure and . one-ha- lf one-ha- lf - one-ha- -- ; aimple. : . . -- 60-a-- l.
