Operators Take No Part In Suits To Set Aside Stat Levies on Gas oline and. Motor Vehicles. "Contrary to popular belief the motor stage men of the state are not behind the various suits that have been brought against the State of Oregon during the past ninety days," said 0. H. McPherrin of the Heppner Arlington stage line, today. Mr. McPherrin further explained that the three suits have been brought by certain interests and that each time the stage men have been linked with the complaints for some un known, reason. The three suits were all based on the Federal Highway Act which the complainants claim makes unconsti tutional any state law levying toll o regulating loads on Federal Aid High ways. The first of these suits attack ed the weight limit placed on certain highways of this state, the second seeks to declare the gasoline tax un constitutional and the third attempts to enjoin the Secretary of State from collecting the 1926 motor vehicle li cense fee. "The Oregon Motor Stage associa tion comprising 95 per cent of the stage interests of the state, is not connected with any of these suits, nor any of its members individually, and it has constantly reiterated its belief that the gasoline tax and a license fee based on weight of vehicles were the most equable means of measuring the use of and damage to the high ways, upon wljich (premises our pres ent license fee is based," is a further statement by Mr. McPherrin. "Should the state of Oregon decide that additional funds are necessary to maintain the present system of highways, the motor stage' men are in favor of an additional gasoline tax as the most equable method of metering the use of the highways. he concluded, "as the present revenue is raised by taxing all vehicles on an equal basis, the stage men are strong ly in favor of existing taxes' the heavier the vehicle the more license fee and the more gasoline it requires to propel it consequently the heav ier vehicle pays more taxes in direct proportion to its use of the highway.
