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

its manufacture and distribution is
