Na Tax on Property Motor Traffic
Pays It All.
From, the accompanying table It
can readily be seen that no direct
property tax whatsoever will be nec
essary to. meet any part of the in
debtedness proposed to be incurred
pj authority of this amendment. The
plan is to continue building the state
highways as we are now doing, by
requiring the motor vehicles to pay
the- bills. Besides paying Interest
and principal of the entire debt that
can - be created under the amend
ment, thert will be'ffotrt year to year
a large eash surplus to apply on road
building and maintenance.
Estimate Are Oonwrvative.
Ever since auto registrations were
commenced in 1911, the number of
autos-la Oregon has increased 33 per
cent per year; r For the first two
months of this year the registrations
are 17,000 more than they were for
the same period last year; and a
they exceeded 83.000 in 1919. even
without any proportional increase
whatever that is. if no new cars at
all should be sold during the 10
months' period between March 1 and
the end of the year the number ;
registration would be more than
100,000 for 1920. Therefore, th?
estimate of 105.000 motor vehicles
for 1920 contained in the table is
very conservative. It is far more
likely to be over than under 110.00O,
but the committee feels that it is
better to understate than to overes
timate the income. The estimated
increase of motor vehicles and in
come from year to year has also been
placed on an extremely conservative
basis, and will in all probability be
much greater than these figures

per vehicle.. The law provides that
25 per cent be returned to the coun
