t PAGE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1925 T TAXES OF STATE During the year 1926 the people ' of Oregon will be paying taxes In license Seem for the operation of their automobiles totalling nearly double the state tax paid in Ore ffon on assessable property, accord ing to estimates of Sam A. Koser, secretary ot state While motor vehicle owners aio bucking up a little In their appli cations for 1926 licenses they are mill about 3000 behind the num ber at the corresponding date a year ago, says Mr, Kozor. Less than 20,000 applications have been filed with the state department. "The fees received for 1926 11 . censes up to December 18 aggre gate $475,000, while the fees re ceived up to December 18, 1924 for 1925 licenses 'aggregated 1 57.1, -000," said Mr, Kozer. "During the entire year 1924 a total of 192,629 motor vehicle licenses were issued So fnr during the year 1925 there has been issued a total of 216,077 motor vehicle licenses. "Tho aggregate fee for those li censes is 5,3C2,G53. The total fees received for all the motor licenses issued in the year 1924 were $4 7GG.4C3. This means that tho li cense fees for 1925 will be sub stantially $600,000, more than the fees recelveA during tho entire year 1924. On this same basis of increase during the year 1926, It is reasonable to assume that more than 235,000 motor vehicle licen ses will be issued In Oregon and that the aggregate fees therfrom will bo well on to $6,000,000, 'It is estimated, also, based on receipts up to November 30, 1925, that the tax on gasoline for the entire year 1925 will 'amount to more than (3,050,000. For the entire year 1924 the gross receipts were lubstanttally (2.673,317, and If the same ratio of Increase In consumption maintains to the end of the year the gross receipt should amount to fully (3,050.000. "Inasmuch as the gross returns on tho tax for the year 1925 will be substantially (375,000 excess of tho receipts for the year 1924, It Is reasonable to assume, having In mind tho estimated motor ve hicle registration for the year 1926 that tho gross tax on gasoline will amount to at least (3,400,000 for the year, which means that motor vehicle owners In Oregon will he paying In tho neighborhood of (9, 000,000 as compared with tho ac tual payment by them for the yenr - 125 of substantially (8,425.000. "Comparing this with tho stnic tax, aside from the elementary school tax, wo find that for the year 1925 this amounted to 15, 375,000, while for the year ltf as recently levied by the State Tax Commission, which amounts to (5,031.765, or during the year 1926 the people of Oregon will be pay ing tax 1 n license fees for the op eration of their motor vehicles In an aggregate sum of almost doa ble that which the assessable prop erty of Oregon will pay In Its state la," John D.
