Trucking Industry
To Be Topic Here;
Public Invited
The general public is invited to
an open meeting scheduled to be
held this evening at the Hoseburg
Labor Temple.
The romance and importance of
Oregon's trucking industry as re
lated to the state's economic wel
fare will be presented by four
Portland speakers, including El
lery Sills, president of the Oregon
Highway Council; Robert Knipe,
manager of the Oregon Motor
Transport Association; Karl White,
manager of the Oregon Dray-
mens ana warcnousemens As
sociation and Bert Trask, assistant
manager of the Highway Council.
According to Sills, president of
the council, few people realize that
nationally the trucking industry
ranks second highest in import
ance, exceeded only by agriculture.
"In Oregon, one out of four non
agricultural employees works for
the trucking industry. The total of
the 81,000 truck and bus drivers,
the 14,000 mechanics employed by
the Industry, plus service employ
es, dock hands, office help and
other employees totals the ap
proximate population of Salem,
Eugene and Mcdford."
"In our state, the trucking in
dustry transports from 1)1 to 98
per cent of all movements of grain,
eggs, milk, fruits and livestock.
Of the SOS post offices in Oregon,
435 are served with mail service
by truck transportation."
Using the US Department of Pub
lic Roads figures. Sills further
states that tho industry in Oregon
during 1950 paid in highway use
taxes and fees in excess of 18 mil
lion dollars, while the amount
available to the state highway
commission for maintenance pur
Doses was about 11 millions. In
1950 trucks represented 19 per cent
of all vehicle registrations but paid
35 per cent of the total receipts
from registration ices.
"The industry is willing to pay
its share of highway use taxes and
fees, but is adverse to tax struc
ture increases which will greatly
increase transportation, which
costs will ultimately be reflected
in freight bills to shippers," said
Sills.

increases than to risk losing all
