AUTO DEALERS OPEN WAR ON LEGISLATURE tOaanaaad Ttom Put Oast bte leniency, the development of truck transportation. - :'.:,-:t '' ': . F0U9 HTJBT IXBrSTBT "One of the owners of a large private fleet- of trucks stated yesterday that jta the proposal of increasing this tax there was great danger of passing ; the eco nomic limit to which this method of transportation would continue to develop. "The state registration records show that the 1922 applications tor both trucks and passenger vehicles are very alow coming in and it Is confidently pre dicted that great numbers of the trucks which are now running until their license expires will be laid up until a decided revival of business makes it possible for them to assume the lift in the license fees along with the constantly mounting local restrictions being piled on the trucker. DEALERS TAKE ACTIOS "The truck shippers generally also ob ject to the general statement that they are particularly to blame for highway destruction and point to the fact that even the highway commission's own en 'glneer states quite frankly that there is nothing definite to base the charges on. The question of the truck and the nign way is hot a local one. but is being con sidered nationally and nowhere has any state gone a far as it Is proposed In the additional license for Oregon." Particular complaint comes from some of the owners of trucks which never leave the city limits. These con tribute thousands of dollars annually to the state. highway fund through the gasoline and license tax, yet never use a state highway. They believe tne state highway commission - already has "rood thine" in them and unless the license is kept from, aviating they will begin a campaign -to have a special license adopted which will relieve them of Daying anything for the building or maintenance of roads wnicn tney never use. outside of the city limits.
