FOUR ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1 93 f . Twenty - One States Still Short of Goal Set for Highway Systems. ': There are twenty-one states that are still short of reaching the two-third stage of completion on their iJtate highway systems. This fact is cited by the Oregon Stale Mouir association as an ad dttional reason why motor taxes should not be diverted to any pur pose other than that of road main tenance and construction. - T h 8 motorists' organization notes that states where the prac tice of diversion of gas taxes has been most flagrant in the past are among those that are behind In. their road building programs. In this category are Texas, Florida, and (ieorgla. ' In a study of the status of siati highway systems, three factors were correlated, namely, the mile , age In the highway system of each state, the percentage of it com-1 pleled,. and the average per vehicle, tax. it was found that twenty-seven states have completed more than two-thirds of their stale highway systems, while twenty-one are still short of that goal. Only two states, New Mexico and Montana, have surfaced less than twenty-five per cent of their state highway ays tents. Of the states (hat ure lagging, the majority are west of the Mis sissippi river. They include the thinly popular d states containing large areas of non-laxahle public lands. Bitch as Montana, New Mex ico, Nevada and Wyoming states for which special concessions in the expenditure of federal aid have been justifiably urged. There does not seem to be any relationship between the comple tion status of state highways and per vehicle tax. The reason Is that many factors enter into the situa tion. Some states have a large mo tor vehicle registration; some stales build their roads by spurts, while others have an orderly pro gram over a period ot years, which permits an equitable distribution of the tax burden and economical use of income.
