Bus apart from the standpoint of the manufacturer, the motoring community have every reason to cry out for an alteration in taxation. There is a distinct element of in- justice that the man who motors for pleasure, chiefly at week ends and then only in the summer, should have to pay the same amount of tax as the man who has his ear on the road all the year round. On the basis of taxing petrol the motorist who uses the roads most "helps to wear them out," as the saying is would pay most towards their up-keep, and others would pay proportionately.
