Fifth Message From Governor Directing attention to the demand for lower motor license fees and the regulation of motor trucks. Governor Meier sent h'.s fifth special message to the legislature Monday. Highlights of the message are as • follows: . Financial and Industrial conditions demand a material reduction in Ore gon’s motor vehicle licence fees. "In conjunction with whatever de cision you may finally reach in the matter, consideration must be given to five major factors entering Into the highway situation: "First—Outstanding state highway bonds and the conditions under, which they were issued. "Second—Tho one-third share of the license fees paid to the .countie :. "Third—The annual allotment of moneys from the state highway fund for secondary highways. "Fourth—Proper maintenance cPd betterment of tho date highway n; s- tetn. "Fifth—Federal aid and co-opci a- . tlve funds provided in connection therewith by the highway commis sion. "The present state highway bonded debt totals approximately $27,516,- 750. If no further bonds are issued, the last bond will be retired in 1956«. Debt Retirement Mandatory. "With reference to the bonded debt, you have, of course, no discretion. Its retirement must go forward In a businesslike and legal manner, with out recourse to the general property "With respect to the second item, namely, the one-third of the license fees allocated to the copntica, It must be borne In mind that many counties have issued road bonds to be retired with funds received from this source. Other counties depend on this fund for county road purposes, om the "The annual allotment condary state highway fund for highways was provided for by 1931 legislature in Heu of the one- mill tax levy theretofore made for this class of highways. "Since 1926 Oregon has received federal aid of more than $11,000,000. During the years 1931-33 the state alro received federal emergency unemploy- ment relief funds aggregating mora than $3.000,000. If federal aid is to l a continued, Oregon must provide co- operative funds. "In your deliberations as to the ex tent motor vehicle license fees shall be reduced your objective, in my opin ion, should be to provide sufficient revenue to meet tho fixed expenses of the highway department and to maintain and preserve the highways already constructed at great cost to the state and counties. "In conjunction with your study of tho highway situation you will ndtu-. rally have to give consideration to tho motor transportation problem, both freight and passenger, which Is in an un ettlod condition and demand” legislation. "T?.e underlying cause of this sit uation Is attributable to tho unregu lated operator. "The present motor transportation act is weak and deficient in many respects and must either be exten sively amended or a new law enacted. Beer Bill Submitted Legalisation of beer and control of its manufacture and distribution is th« subject of John J. Beckman's bill. Another Dill to regulate trucks ap peared Monday with the namo of Representative DnJch on the Jacket.
