Overloaded Trucks Must
Jettison Cargo on Road
The state highway commission announced today that state po
lice would require overloaded logging and commercial trucks to
pull off the highways and that overloads would be removed.
Furthermore, the commission
will report violations to the of
fice of price administration,
which will subject the viola
tors to reduced gasoline allot
ments and might prevent them
from getting new tires.
The new policy was decided
at a conference Tuesday of rep
resentatives of the highway
commission, state police, public
utilities commissioner, Gover
nor Snell, and the offices of price
administration and defense
transportation.
In the past, the commission
has reported violations to the
public utilities commissioner
for cancellation of permits,
while small fines were im
posed by justices of the peace.
Fines Not Enough
The fines, the commission
said, are no deterrent, while
cancellation of permits has im
posed penalties which are too
severe. The commission cited
cases where an entire fleet of
trucks was suspended merely
because one of the trucks had
been overloaded.
Some truckers are persistent
and chronic violators of the
weight limits, but 85 percent of
' them are cooperating, the com
mission said,
The commission, pointing out
that the legislature boosted the
weight limits from 54,000 to 71,
000 pounds and the length lim
its from 50 to 60 feet, for the
duration of the war, said:
"The commission feels that In
granting this additional privi
lege, the commercial haulers
must stay within the limits set
forth and will likewise insist
Vthat overloaded commercial
trucks be stopped and required
to take off the overload.
"The commission feels that
the overload problem must be
solved if the state's highways
are to last for the duration of the
war and, after conferring with
Washington authorities, knows
it is giving as much or more
cooperation with the truck op
erators as its neighboring state
is, The commission wants to do
all in its power, in this wartime
emergency affecting transporta
tion, to expedite the movement
of goods and services but fn
not be unmindful of its duly to
the citizens of this state in pro
tecting the public's large invest
ment in highways."

Island Papers
E. Robert Olson, 469 North
Winter, who is with the United
States merchant marine and who
has sailed widely in the South
Pacific, is home for a time, and
has with him interesting copies
of newspapers published in that
part of the world, particularly
Australia and New Zealand.
The Dominion, published at
Wellington, New Zealand, is a
large and no doubt prosperous
newspaper, but a quaint one
compared with American pa
pers. For example, the first,
second and third pages are en
tirely advertising, classifieds on
the first two. Other than ads
the first matter the reader finds
is the editorial. News of lesser
imporatnee, mainly local, is on
the editorial page. On page
five you begin to run into the
war news, with a good many la
bel heads that were old-fashioned
in this country 40 years ago,
like "Greatest Dual Onslaught"
and "Weary and Below
Strength" no verbs or implica
tion of verbs. Pagc3 arc eight
columns, but wider than Ameri
can sheets.
The Sun, published in Mel
bourne, is tabloid size and in ap
pearance much the same as tab
loids in this country. It claims
the largest net sale in Australia
287,497.
Guinea Gold is in American
and Australian editions, and
published "In the Field." It
is largely war news, and news
about men in the service.
The Tribune-Herald, publish
ed at Hilo. Hawaii, is, of course,
typically American in style and
content.
