B ILL SEEKS REPEAL OP AUTO
USB TAX.
Congress has received a bill in­
troduced by Representative Gerald
W. I.Landis, ot Indiana, which pro­
vides for repeal off the federal auto­
mobile use tax when present stick­
ers expire, July 1, the Oregon State
Motor Association learned Uiis week,
The tax, which w ill call for a
new payment of $5.00 on July 1, has
been criticised Ironi many angles.
Representative Landis, in a state­
ment, described it as a nuisance ttx
and called for repeal on the follow-
; giounds ■
“The automobile is not a luxury.
' .Most cars are used for business pur­
poses and transportation purposes.
‘Owners of small and old passen-
1 ger cars must pay the same amount
as do owners of large limousines
and luxurious yachts.
"The sticker system is unsatisfac­
tory because many of them will be
destrayed, lost, or stolen.”
The American Automobile Associ­
ation, with which the Oregon club
is affiliated, has led a fight for re­
peal of the tax on the ground that
it is an unfair assessment and treats
the automobile as a luxury instead
of vital part of the national pro­
duction and transportation system.
