HIGHWAY AS "TRUCKING LANE" The following letter, which appeared on the editorial page of the Portland . Oregonian, indicates the trend of public thought toward misuse of the highways:. PORTLAND, Ore.,. May 3 (To the Editor) The preservation and beautlflcatlon of the Columbia River highway has been discussed latoly to some extent In your paper, but It would seem to this writer that It does not go far enough. .. For instance, In your Issue of April 30 Mr. Lancaster says unsightly telephone poles and air beacons are to be tabooed, while In a recent Issue Mr. Benson of Hollywood called atten tion to the fact that the highway was never Intended for a i "trucking lane." .-- - . , . . -I wondor If It has ever occurred to Interested citizens that ... . the Columbia Hlvcr highway Is virtually a "trucking lane" i . In every aesnn of the word. 1 Years ago It was Indeed a pleasure , to drive over It, but now It Is a caso of look out for cumber . some trucks with trailers that sway from side to side. And at Cascade Locks, located right in the midst of tho beauties of " the Columbia gorge, an ugly eight-foot board fenco has been erected running parallel to the highway for a distance of about . . 1 C00 feet and as close to the highway as the law allows. Moat ., . of the fox farms In Oregon are sot back a reasonable dlstnnco '.' from the highways and oro painted and kept attractive, but , .. . - this particular ono slnmlB out like a sore thumb. ; , The newly organized Greater Columbia River Highway asso-. : elation will gradually bring public sentiment to the point of ! realization' that our highway needs serious thought. , ' ... ' ; ,. TAXPAYER. CANADIAN BUDGET CUT National, state and municipal budgets have increased so consi3tently since the war that both public officials and the taxpayers have come to believe therm irreducible. ; The Dominion of Canada is now demonstrating the fallacy of such a conclusion. :, , . By drastic pruning Prime Minister Bennett's government has cut $37,000,000 off the budget for tho next fiscal year. That represents a reduction in government expenditure of nearly 10 per cent. ' This was accomplished by slashing the appropriations of 33 government departments and bureaus. The national defense and aviation budgets were pared. , Excessive pay' rolls were corrected and no expensive automobiles will ,b.c purchased or maintained for the transportation of public officials. Hero is practical and direct relief for several millions o'f taxpayers. Moreover, it will provide an effective stimulant for business recovery. The heavier the tax burden business and the people must carry the slower the return to normal production and purchasing power. The Bennett government has done the popular thing. Also it has set a good example for other countries and other governments. Even though it is a case of necessity being tile mother of invention, the necessity is as apparent in the United States as in the neighbor to the north. Canada's achievements in economy are likely to make the American people still more resentful toward the spendthrift seventy-first congress.

Renlylne, the commission contend ed, among other things, that the new rates were reasonable ana lawiui, that it was the sole judge of the rea sonableness, and that the proposed new chares were a . "leveling-up pro cess" by which some were advanced. It also held that corrections in transit practices would have the effect of saving the carriers around $30,000, 000 each year. ii m ws i ii I! !!
