In Discussing the referendum of
HB 465, 5 major point« are import
ant:
(1) Is Oregon's law, as amended
by the referred I IB 465, based on
sound economic principles?
(2) Will HB 465 put trucks out of
business?
(3) Will truck freight rates have
to be increased?
(4) Is Oregon’s truck tax higher
than that of other states?
(5) Is the constitutional amend
ment proposed by the truck interests
better for the people of Oregon than
having at their command the op
portunity to legislate without res
