By Thomas G. Wright
Staff Writer, The SUU-smaa
A $2,500,000 drop in truck -tax revenue is predicted for 1948 by
the public utilities commission on the basis of half-year records. This,
despite a natural increase in truck registration under the new 1947
motor transportation code.
Collections under the law, intended to increase funds for highway
maintenance and construction, are far behind schedule, the PUC has
announced. Miscalculations in fix
Auto glass installed. Floor sand
ers for rent. R. D. Woodrow, 450
Center st.
ing fee scales, adverse weather
conditions, and violations have
been blamed for the unexpected
decrease.
The long-studied, Oregon-pio
neered program for equitable tax
ation of truck-transport became
effective Jan. 1, 1948, as a result
of action of the 1947 legislature.
Designed to levy fees on a road
use base, it was expected to in
crease funds for highway main
tenance and construction by about
$1,000,000 annually. Early trends
indicate that not only will the
law fail to provide the additional
funds but will fall $2,500,000 be
hind the old program
Changed to Flat Fee
Under the old law, truck license
fees (now $5 flat) were collected
by the secretary of state on a
weight basis. A .truck traveling
70,000 miles on the state's roads
and highways paid at the same
rate as one traveling only 100
miles, for instance. In the first
six months of 1947 $2,157,625.91
was collected from this source.
Also PUC collected highway
use fees computed on various
formulas, but not all trucks werej
included unrler the PUC regula-!
tions. Approximately $1,628,661
was collected by PUC for the first
half of 1947.
Under the new law, a flat $5 li
cense fee is collected by the sec
retary of state, and revenue
dropped to $693,071.29 for the first
six months of 1948. PUC collec
tions increased to about $2,534,327
in taxes from trucks on the new
mileage-weight scale for the same
periodL
Collections Decrease
Comparison of 1947 total collec
tions (state license fees plus PUC
collections) with those of 1948
show a decrease of slightly less
than $1,000,000 for the first six
months. But for the same period
an Increase in truck registration
and inclusion of trucks exempt
under the old law has boosted the
total about 7,000 vehicles. Norm
ally this increase could have been
expected to raise substantially
more revenue than the 1947 count. I
Proponents of the 1947 motor
transportation coda admit that it
is In the trial and error stage. Ore-'
gon is the first state to attempt the
graduated scale of taxing trucks.
Other states arc using variations
of the flat fee.
Fee scales, with no other pre-
cedent to follow, were based on
records some of which arc no
longer applicable. Mileage com
putations ware based on results of
a survey of about 50 per cent of
the state's trucks. As much as 50
per cent discrepancies in gas mile
age reported, on the survey and
those reported on PUC monthly!
reports account for much of the
decrease.
Weather Hindrance
In addition, PUC reports a hea-
ry drop of truck transport activi
ties during the early months of I
1948. Mileage and gross weights
were down because of adverse
weather conditions. Logging
trucks, expected to contribute
large portion of the revenue, were
idle because rain and flood ham
pered operations to a great ex
tent
