Gasoline tax burden criticized by Detroit Automobile Club
Colonel Sidney Waldan, president of the Detroit Automobile Club, argues a one cent per gallon gasoline tax unfairly shifts highway funding costs onto motorists. He cites Michigan evidence that motor vehicle taxes would rise to about 8.13 percent annually, with estimates based on 1921 figures showing motor vehicles already paying 5.22 percent of value and real estate 2.90 percent. Experts estimate 477,037 motor vehicles in Michigan on December 31, 1921, worth 131 dollars per car.

Think Motorists Easy A Michigan Tax Fairness Opinion
An opinion piece argues against a gasoline tax by comparing motorist fees in Michigan to overall property taxes. It cites 1921 figures showing motorist payments totaling about 10.7 million dollars, about 3.23 percent of vehicle value, and contrasts this with real and personal property taxed at 2.90 percent. The piece contends motorists should not bear a larger share of highway funding than other property owners.
