"Governor at County Officials" Meet
ing in Portland Today, Predict
' Present Levy Won't Be 8uf
j flrient for Highways.
'(Br United Prcu to The Daily Bulletin)
PORTLAND. Dec. 13. Speaking
before the convention - of ' county
Judges and commissioners at the
Multnomah county courthouse here
today, 'Governor. Withyeombe led
off the discussion of state highway
needs with the proposal that after
1917 state road work should be
Supported wholly by automobile
tax.
The' Governor proposed a tax of
510 a machine, on an average.
AVith 40.000 machines that would
bring in 5400,000. Ho suggested
a bond Issue for 1917 road -work,
until the auto tax revenue would
be available. The money derived
from the present quarter mill road
levy, he believes, doubtless will be
devoted to state institutional needs
hereafter, as the latter will be crip-
j pled seriously by the six per cent
j tax limitation.
"The quarter of n mill tax now
appropriated for highway construc
i tion will probably have to be di
verted," said. Governor Withy
combe. "This will necessitate the
providing of other funds for high
way construction.
"There are two ways, as It ap
pears to me.' in which this may be
met. One, by a license fee on auto
mobiles and auto conveyances,
which will include th$ property tax
on the . sarac, averaging perhaps
about J110 each, which on forty
thousand machines will bring a rev
enue of $400,000 a year, less about
IS per cent for administration, tags
etc., which will give 5364,000 net
for road work. ' , . " '
"There will be provided from the
national government under the
Shackleford bill, within the next
Ave years, approximately $1,200.
000. Unless this amount is equal
led by the state it is lost to Oregon.
The proposed increased automobile
tax will enable the state to meet
this obligation with the government
dollar for dollar.

Htrui'tlon during the coming year,
for it will not he until 191 S that the
auto tux revenue will be available.
This could be met by the Ihhuuiicu
of say $B00,000 ten year bonds, the
money to bu used during 1917.
Thereafter the auto tax should meet
the road requirements.
"For best results in state high
way work should be entrusted to
three non-Halurlml commissioners,
and this commission should employ
a competent highway engineer. In
this way the highway work should
bo eliminated entirely from politic
al Inniienres. and one man will be
at its head, responsible for results
and not burdened with other duties
dividing his time and attention."
