Bill Bans City
Gasoline Taxes
A bill to make the city of Port
land quit taxing bulk gasoline deal
ers was introduced in the House
o( Representatives Thursday by its
Highway Committee.
The bill makes it illegal for cit
ies, counties or other local govern
ments to tax gasoline, reserving
this field for the state.
Speaker Ed Geary, who was
chairman of the Legislative Inter
im Highway Committee that rec
ommended the bill, said:
"The city of Portland's business
tax affects, anionc other thines.
bulk gasoline which is shipped to
an pans oi tne state. In effect,
the city is taxing gasoline used by
the rest of the state.
"The Constitution says that all
gas tax revenues shall go to the
stale. The city got around this pro
vision, and this new bill is intend
ed to correct that situation.
"Cities now get 10 per cent of
all state highway revenues, and the
counties get 19 per cent. I don't
think they are entitled to take
more than that through local
taxes.
Rules of Order
May Not Apply
In Legislature
Roberts' Rules of Order to the
contrary, it looks like a motion to
adjourn in the House of Represent
atives is debatable.
Speaker of the House Edward
A. Geary, Klamath Falls, proved
it at the Legislature Thursday.
As is his custom, Geary recog
nized Rep. F. H. Dammasch, Port
land, to move adjournment of the
afternoon session. Dammasch
moved to adjourn until 11 a. m.
Monday, instead of Friday.
Taken aback, Geary asked Dr.
Dammasch to restate his motion,
expecting him to change it to Fri
day. Dammasch, unsmiling, re
peated his original motion.
Amid chuckles, the House de
feated Dammasch's motion..
Geary then asked Rep. Loran Li
Stewart, Cottage Grove, to move
for adjournment.
The House then agreed to
Geary's wish.
