PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL' JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1925 SEEK 10 DEFEAT III Certain truck drivers In Oregon, or claiming to represent the auto freight transportation association, with George W. Bishop aa Presi dent and Oecar W. Horn aa Sec retary, have sued the state high way commission, challen;lng lta right to limit the weight of loads moved over the state highways. The legislature fixed the max imum weight of loads, Including truck and load, permitted upon the public highways at 22,000 pounds, and further provided whenever In the judgment of the Highway Com mission with respect to state high ways, or the county courts with respect to the county highways, It Is necessary In order to protect the highways from undue damage the highway commission or the county court, as the case might be, might further reduce the load limit. Recently the highway commis sion reduced the load limit permit ted upon that portion of the Co lumbia River highway lying be tween the east boundary of Mul tomah county an1, the west city limit of Hood Itlver. Suit was then brought In Fed eral court against the commission by R. B. Morris, doing business as Moorrls & Lot her, the John-Day Valley Freight Line, the Bend-Port land Transit and the Portland Hood River Truck Line company, challenging the right of the high way commission to make such or der. The case has been set for hearing before Federal Judges and one Un ited States Circuit Judge for No vember 36. The plaintiffs claim that If they are successful n the Federal Court the matter will be taken to the United States Supreme Court for final determination. The plaintiffs claim that when the Federal Government enacted the Federal Aid Act, by which the Federal Government aids the states under certain conditions, In the construction of roads, and the State of Oregon by legislation agreed to cooperate with the Fed eral Government, that thereby contract was entered Into between the State and the Government, and that when the State enacted legis lation regulating motor vehicles and providing for a license and a license fee, that a contract was offected between the holder of such license and the State of Oregon, and that now the state Is under ob ligation to maintain Its public high ways for the benefit of traffic, and that the legislature and the High way Commission is now without authority to change Its legislation or limit the weight of loads permit ted upon Its highways.
