Interstate Commerce - Taxation Of Motor Vehicles In Interstate Transportation For Sale
Michigan Law Review
A New Mexico statute exacts a flat permit fee for the privilege of transporting motor vehicles, on their own wheels, over the highways of the state, for purpose of sale within or without the state.

Among the more familiar forms may be mentioned the conditional sale, bailment lease, chattel mortgage, and trust receipt. The chief motive of the seller in resorting to these devices seems to lie in the belief that the buyer is a poor credit risk, and the particular instrument which a seller will employ in a given situation will depend largely upon the relative legal advantages which he seeks to …
