AFTER THE AUTOISTS
During the past few months the highway department has been active in rounding up those who would dodge auto license fees resulting in gathering in nearly $4,000, which is good work and shows sound business, as the auto license law is one that brings money that is applied to good roads, and every reasonable owner is willing to pay for such service.
Had the other departments of state been as active in the collection of fees to Nevada and rounding up the real tax dodgers the treasury at Carson would be bulging with cash on hand.
The autoist is taxed beyond the face value of his car to start with. He is state licensed and digs up for every item that looks like taxes. On the other hand there are interests in Nevada that do not and have not paid fair value on their belongings and every season they make a fight for lower taxes and less valuations.
It might be a good policy to send out the same kind of agents as employed by the highway department to round up the dodgers. If $4,000 can be collected from the auto owners the sum total from other sources would make a long line of figures to be added to resources.
