lti!irh-nn which wan held at the ilot-!
Holland this noon and introduced tho
upcakcr of tho clay. I- A. i-iljcqvl.st,
Portland attorney and assistant attor
ney K' nerai of tho stale of Ori'Kon.
Mr. I.iljeqvist deliverod an interest
ing Mlk on Iho h-K-'tl aHpeets of tlie
motor vehicle, laws ct the .state; stat
ins that tho Htate i.s now houdod
nearly to iiH cunKtitutlonal rapacity
and that tho same condition exita in
m-arly all the rountioH. 'I'hat Iho Htate
can ko no furl her without constitu
tional amendments and that the
amendments even if proposed would
i most likely not meet with tho ap
proval of tho public. This state of
affairs calls for a tax on motor ve
hicles in direct proportion with tho
damage they eause to tho hiKhways
and on Choline, as a moiotr vehicle
using a large amount of gas also
causes damage to tho roads in direct
proportion to tho amount of fuel used.
The laws embodying theso principles
have been enacted and are now in
force; one taxing motor vehicles on a
basis of weight and another impns
ing a tax on gasoline used in vehicles
traveling tho public highways.
These laws were established with
i out precedent and have not yet stood
the test of an objection and a judicial
' decision. Oregon is a pioneer In a
tax on motor vehicles on a basis of
weight instead of horsepower and
made a radical departure from pre
cedent when tho law was enacted. Kile
Is also a pioneer In regard to a tax
on gasoline and Mr. LHJoqvIst stated
that one of tho strongest boosters for
, this act was Hen Sheldon of Mod
ford. 'i'hat Oregon was a pioneer In
these acts and that although tho laws
were practical they had not yet Ptood
before a court and received Judicial
approval were tho two strong points
of the address.
At the conclusion of -Mr. l.IIJeqvisfs
talk. Dr. Kickert polnled out that the
state tax on motor vehicle fuel was
the only way the state had of exacting
toll from the non-resident tourist who
traveled the ritate highways.
Hen Sheldon announced that n del
egation from t he Mod ford Chamber
of Commerce would atteiu. the forum

the plaintiff was awarded one-half of
the amount, for which ho was bring
'ing suit, namely $1164.00.
Plaintiff was represented by At
torney licorgo Huberts. Defendant
was represented by Attorneys Uus
