They uphold the legislature in its attempt to force the auto .transportation companies to pay a reasonable license ta to be used in the lipfceep of the highways." They realize through their study of roads and traffic that the most destructive factor on the main highways' today are thejieavy trucks, which pound over them night and day. And thes officials deny the statement oi ine auto anp ous operaiqra mat tne license lax proposed is confiscatory. y The proposed license taxi is ah attempt only to distribute more evenly than now the burden of maintaining the high r"ways among those who use them. And since maintainance is paid for by &U motorists, the justice bf the law is obvious. Every motorist and taxpayer of the state should refuse to sign the petitions f or the.referenduni.
