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.
