I don't know if raising the costs will help with these problems, but something has to be done. Does anyone else have any better ideas?

Whoa... LOL explain to me how hunting with a legitimate tag belonging to someone else is more advantageous than taking a blank tag and just making up a number? If F&W check it and ask for ID you are busted either way. A few may do it, but charging everyone more will likely not stop the problem and is akin to using a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito.
Better idea?? Here's the right one: If you want to stop the problem you describe, the answer isn't to charge everyone more for a tag. That's typical lefty, gun-control sort of thinking.
The answer is to quadruple the fines for actually hunting with another person's tag, confiscate trucks, impose jail time. Basically punish the guilty, not the innocent.
