the first ri'tflHtrntlon period from July
1, JIKCI, to Jan. 1, IMS, for which
motorists would pay $4.50, and there
after $1. a calendar year.
Such a plan, Hons believes, would
keep 10.000 Oregon motorists from
buying their licenses in Washington
and California. The average automo
bile would yield a property tax, be
believes, of $7.;W, with which coun
ties would pay their road money In
lieu of their present one-third of the
motor vehicle license fund.
Hobs estimated the plan would pro
duce more than $0,100,000 which the
highway commission has declared is
necessary. This is made up as fol
lows: Totnl registration fees $1,700,
100 on the basis of this year's regis
tration; motor transport fees $.'(0-1,-414;
gasoline taxes $.".. HMMOTO. for a
total net revenue of $7,4S0,102. Hoss
said additional revenue through sav
ings and income would amount to $2.
0M 7. 000, making the total Income of
$0.n71li02.
Earlier In the day Leslie M. Scott,
chnirpinn of the highway commission,
hud warned against drastic cutting of
llrcnnn fees, declaring it would wreck
the highway program. Hut. he said,
"tho first duty of all of im Is to ease,
as best wo can, the terrific tax burden
of the people whose servants we are.
New projects we shall have to defer
until taxpayers are better able to pay
for them. Maintenance we shall hufe
to continue under the best makeshifts
of economy."
Weakness Shown
On Wheat Market
CMIOAOO, Dec, 13. OP) Domin
ated largely by uncertainties of world
financial conditions, wheat showed
persistent weakness today, with spe
cial notice taken of late price breaks
at Winnipeg.
Ttelatlve absence of buying rather
than unusual pressure to sell char
acterized wheat dealings here. Some
share of the weakness of wheat nnd
other grains was nscribed to modera
ing temperatures and to a forecast of
snow extending over most of the
American wheat belt.
Wheat closed unsteady at the day's
bottom figures, 3-4tffl 1-J under yes
terday's finish, conr ft-IWl 1-8 down,
