Is the Joe who uses his jalopy jioing to and from his job paying for a big chunk of road damage done by heavy hauling? Thai's what the Oregon State Highway Commission would like to know and they are going to considerable trouble and expense to find the answer. The Commission is cooperating with seven western slates in run niuj, tests on the relation of truck weights to damage to high, ways. "Guinea-pig" highways are be ing built at the co-state testing grounds at Malad in southern Idaho. The roads arc to be sub jected to punishment by vehicu lar travel and engineers will com pute the relative damage caused by varying heavy loads. The Federal Bureau of Public Uo.'kIs. the netroleum and truck ing industries are contributing to the project. Similar tests made in Maryland recently show thai: "Twice as much load does several times twice as much damage." SLASH IN TAXES A writ of mandamu was issued Wednesday by the Oregon Su preme Court directing Multnomah county authorities to reduce as sessments $S24,G13 on the Rey nolds Metal Co., or show cause why they should not, The State Tax commission had found that the properly was ap praised out of line with surround, ing property. The high court also reversed a three-Judge Multnomah Circuit order that had held the Portland City Council had no right to at tach an emergency clause to an ordinance which makes all punch boards illegal. . A suit against the Council con tends that the emergency clause made it impossible to attack the ordinance bv referendum. LIQUOR PRICES STAY The retail price of liquor in Ore gon will not be affected by ex pected decontrol by the federal Office of Price Stabilization. The only lowering of prices by the Oregon Liquor Control commis sion said Chairman Robert L. Elf -stron, would have to come from a drop in wholesale prices made by distilleries or if congress re- cinded a part of the hike they made to a $10.50-per-gallon tax that went into effect last Novem ber. This boost has slowed the commissions business, ihe lax now is from seven to eight times as much as the cost of making a gallon of liquor. The commis sion's mark-up is about $1..T per "fifth." RECENT LEGAL RULINGS When a judicial office is legal ly abolished subsequent to elec tion of a candidate therefor, but before qualification and com mencement of term, the success ful candidate can take no office.
