OPPOSE MEASURE FOR REGULATION TRANSPORTATION' OPERATORS FEAR NEW PRECEDENT . 810 Fee on Buses, Stages and Taxi Vehicles Unconstitutional, Says Attorney Strong opposition will develop anions taxi, truck and stage oper ators against the proposed ordi nance seeking to regulate and sup ervise each such vehicle in the city by the imposition of an an nual $10 fee. ".This was indicated at a special meeting of the city council ordi nance committee lait night, called to discuss the provision and to get the viewpoint of those affected. J. M. Hudson, representing the Oregon State Motor association, and Mr. Spooner of the Portland Truck Drivers' association, ap peared before the committee to voice protests. Salem for-hire drivers were rep resented" by. Donald Miles, local at torney. "It isn't the $10 fee we object to so much as it is the precedent such an assessment will set for other cities in Oregon," declared Mr. Spooner. "If every city on truck and stage lines impose such a tax, operators will be forced out of business." Attorney Miles stated his opin ion that the ordinance was uncon stitutional in that it sought to raise revenue, and the city may properly only enact a strictly reg ulatory measure. A fee of $2 or $3 should be sufficient to finance such a regulation, he said. Taxi drivers in Salem will buck the measure, Mr. Miles asserted, (Continued on page 3.)
