Measure 4 taxes gas to help roads
By Brad Barton
Otth»Em»r»U
Ballot measure 4, asking
Oregonians to approve an in
creased gasoline tax and weight
per mile truck tax to pay tor road
maintenance, is like the Fram oil
filter commercials, says the
Lane County Public Works dir
ector. Whereas the ad says "pay
me now or pay me later,” Don
LaBelle says that "if we don't
maintain roads now, we won’t
be able to afford to repair them
in the future "
If the measure passes Tues
day, the eight cents the state
currently charges on each
gallon of gasoline sold to non
commercial vehicles would in
crease by one cent per year
over the next three years as
well, beginning in July
The measure would also in
crease the tax that truck and
commercial vehicles pay the
state. This tax. based on the
weight of the vehicles and the
miles they travel within the state,
would increase by an average of
12 5 percent on July 1, 1982,
and by 11.1 and 10 percent on
the same day in 1983 and 1984,
respectively.
The additional tax will gener
ate about $21 million each year
for the next three years, ac
cording to the legislative ar
gument
In accordance with Oregon’s
constitution, these tax revenues
can be used only for repair, im
provement, operation and con
struction of state and local
roads Cities would continue to
receive 12 percent of the funds
and counties 20 percent, while
68 percent would be used for
state roads.
Measure supporters in the
state legislature argue that poor
roads discourage business and
add to driving costs. And con
clusions from a recent Oregon
road survey show increasing

traffic levels and declining fuel
consumption (due to more fuel
efficient cars), making tax
revenues decrease while the
need for them grows.
As quoted in the Oregon
voters’ pamphlet, The Road
Information Program, which
recently surveyed Oregon’s
road conditions, concluded that
20.000 miles of Oregon's roads
are substandard, and that
14.000 of these miles are “well
traveled,” because 56 percent
of the driving in Oregon takes
place on these roads.
TRIP also noted that over
17.000 miles of county and city
roads need resurfacing or
reconstruction, and that 8,000
miles of cracked or broken
roads should be resurfaced
soon before they need to be
rebuilt. Rebuilding costs, they
add, are over three times as
much as resurfacing.
