'.ri 1 1 j Weight-Mile Bill Aired in Portland Debate Monday PORTLAND, Sept. 23 Wi A trucking industry representative said the state's weight-mile truck tax bill is discriminatory and un sound but a state senator con tended the measure simply was an effort to apportion fairly high way costs among highway users. The two divergent views were expressed Monday at a Portland Chamber of Commerce forum luncheon. ... Bert. Trask,. assistant manager of the Oregon Highway Council, spoke against the present truck tax measure and in support of an initiative measure on the Novem ber ballot which would throw the entire load on registration fees and fuel tax. Supporting the weight-mile tax bill, passed by the last legislature, was State Sen. Elmo Smith of John Day who led the fight for passage of the measure. Called Unsound Trask maintained the trucking industry was not. trying to get out of its share of highway costs but said the so-called weight-mile tax would drive many operators out of business. He called the present bill discriminatory and unsound. Smith countered by saying It was not possible for the truckers' plan to produce more revenue ior state, highways without getting more from passenger automobile users or some other tax source. He said the weight-mile tax was an effort to apportion fairly high way costs among highway users. Trask said the highway pro gram under the weight-mile set up, was losing $1,000,000 to tax evaders, another S200.000 to book keeping costs and $700,000 to col lection costs. Smith replied there was no way to compute amount of tax evad ed but he said he believed it was negligible. irAe nrnnnced hv neoDle's peti tions. The tax measures came in for special atlention. In her luncheon discussion. Mrs. Humphrey noted that part resi dents of Multnomah county had taken in the measures Initiated by the people, and questioned the right of residents of one county to take action in measures affecting the entire stale. She estimated that 90 percent of the initiative signa tures came from Multnomah county. , , . . , Mis. Humphrey made only brief mention of the truck bills, inas much as the Lions are to hear speakers representing the bills in the near future. The measure pro viding for amendment, or overhaul, of the milk control law received considerable attention. In reviewing the so-called school district reorganization bill, referred to a vote of the people primarily through efforts of the Oregon Slate Grange, Mrs. Humphrey paid trib ute to residents of Deschutes coun ty for having worked out through their own efforts things that would be provided in the reorganization measure. "You have put your house in order already," Mrs. Humphrey noted. Mrs. Humphrey reminded the clubmen that in addition to passing on the 18 state measures and local measures. thy will be called on "to elect people to some mighty important Jobs."
