Truck Tax Rtferendum
Petitions Critleixed

legislators think referendum peti
tions filed against a truck tax
should be investigated.
Rep. Kenneth Kraemer and Sen.
Richard Neubefger said that a
trucking publicatiun reported that
12,000 of the petitions' signatures
were gathered by employes of Con

next year. Now it will be referred
to the voters in the 1952 general

and depreciation, and comparing them with what he spent
en his previous car. Economy tests show that a new, 3600-pound
