Included are Industrial lands, agriculture and Rra.lnc lands and eight miles of waterfront. Judge Jones, a member of an advisory committee of the As sociation of Oregon counties, that has been appointed to con sider all legislation of Interest to counties, had planned to re view, before the Chamber, some of the bills now before the leg islature. Because of lack of time, he was able to touch on only a few. One would require the office of assessor to be given certain qualifications. This the counties are opposing, he said, because it discriminates against the one office. "Such qualifications are not even set for the President of the United States." he said. Another bill would transfer Juvenile Jurisdiction from the county courts. The Judge said that no benefit from this bill would be derived here, and If It passed, a commissioner would have to be appointed for juven ile cases In Morrow county.

Jerry Daggett (left). G-T Photo). TO THE EDITOR February 23. V.HV7 To the Editor: I am a gasoline distributor and also a non-paid tax collect or for the State of Oregon and the Federal Government, and would like to take this oppor tunity to point out a few things that Ls happening to our tax monev that Is collected to build and improve highways, but is diverted to other uses. As you are probably aware, the Stale and federal government ore ad vocating another Increase In gasoline taxes. First. I want to review the price trends. In the last ten years, rents have Increased 13'", transportation has Jumped T2 and the consumer price In dex for nil items has advanced 16rv. but gasoline, excluding taxes. ctsts no more now than It did ten years ago at the wholesale level. Gasoline is rouchlv the same price as It was back In the early l'Xiu's, although the quality of the fuel Itself has Increased remarkab ly. The big increase is the tax. " The states and federal gov ernment have channeled an es timated &J2 billion dollars of our sjwclal taxes paid by high way users Into non road pro grams during the years 1957 through VMi. Oil Facts reports through Petroleum News. Over the ten year period federal highway user taxes withheld from road building totaled more than $17 billion dollars. The figure for fiscal vear 16 alone was $1.8 billion. During the past ten years cer tain states diverted a total of more than $4 billion dlolars away from their highway pro grams. The annual diversion figure grew from $305 million in 19f)7 to a record Strb million in 19G5 according to figures published by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads. State highway user tax fig ures for 16 are not yet avail able, but Oil Facts says no re duction In the amount of mon ey diverted is anticipated. I am a strong booster for good roads and very proud of our highway system, but Juit think how many more miles of roads that could have been built if all the tax money collected for road building had been used for such. Any one of the same opinion should take a few minutes of his time and write or wire leg islators requesting that the road tax monies collected be used for the purpose of build ing and maintaining roads and not diverted to other pet proj ects. I can see no need of in creasing gasoline taxes at this time if this is done. The Increased cigarette tax that was supposed to offset property taxes will bear watch ing to see that the money is used for the purpose It was col lected for and not diverted In to other use.
