id Au vilorem taxes. $380X270.
It will be observed that motor
vehicles paid for the year the sum
of J31M23I00 directly to the high-
v iv i of Texas This sum alone
pud directly for roads Is mora
'i in I times the total railroad
IXi's
T lie commercial vehicles alona
wlueh are only 10 1-2 per cent of
il. motor vehicles) pa'il JOIO-
s'i duertly to roads which sum
i moie than all tho taxes paid by
i ulroads and is moro than one-
I' urth of the taxes paid by all
ninti r vehicles. (So a repot t Stalo
Highway Com.)
The total taxou paid by motor
vehicles to Toxns wns 35 per cent
of their total assessed valuation.
The amount of taxos pule! by
motor vehicles which wont direct-
ly to roads was the sum of $31.-1
823100 which Is 26 0 per cent of
the total assessed valuation or I
four times tho total railroad tax-'
es f r all purposon
Any fulr-mlnded person who will
read the ariove figures can ro-idily
see that undor existing law the
burden of taxation for road pur-
poses falling upon railroads is
trivial that tho samo burden fall-
ing upon motor vehicles Is severe
and that the facts do not In Jus-
tice warrant an Increase of the
present taxes on motor vehicles.
Particularly when the agitation
far the destruction of commercial
motor vehicle Industry comes In
the main from railroads whum
tho faeU disclose aro certainly In
no position to complain.
