“Oregon motorists do not pay the
highest automobile tax in the coun
try, despite figures which indicate
that the average license fee in this
state is the-Aiigheet of the 48 states
in the Union,” asserts James H. Cass
ell, editor of Automotive News and
member of the Executive Committee
of the Oregon Good Roads Associa
tion. “Statistics dealing exclusively
with license fees are nqt only mis
leading but are unfair to Oregon,
which ranks eighth in motor vehicle
tax per car, but gives the Oregon mo
torist mixih more improved highway
thaii the vast majority of state.”
“It is true that the average Oregon
license is the highest in the Union.
Unquestionably thia situation will be
corrected at the next session of the
legislature. But when other license
fees are added to the gas tax, and
the personal property tax levied in
the majority of states, Oregon ranks
eighth in the list df 48,” explains
Cassell.
