BALLOT RETARDING
Orrron motorists ami taxpayers
will be interested in Hie ict that
the so-called $:i ami measures,
which would have affected the
state highway program, will not
appear on the November ballot, as
the necessary signatures to Initia
tive petitions were not filed at
Salem.
The public mind has become con
fused thrnmi exlenaive prelimi
nary discussion in the state press
of these bills and it should be
pointed out. as a matter of inter
est of the highest importance, that
the only measures relating to mo
tor vehicle licenses and a tax on
gasoline which will have a place
on the ballot are those initiated by
Joe Dunne of Portland.
Mr. Dunne's license hill provides
for a general reduction in license
lees of approximately 50 per cen'.
If this bill should be approved by
the people In November, the state
highway fund will lose about
OtMt.ooi). Tho other initiative meas
ure would increase the gasoline tav
from It to 5 cents per gallon. If
both blls should pas. the state's
income, from the gaa tax would he
increased about $1,200,000, leaving
tho highway department with a no,t
loss of nearly S.ooo.ooo. Should
the. people approve the deereaHe-1
license fees set up in tho Dunne
bill and reject the increased gas
tax of his other hill, the net loss to
the highway fund would amount to
a sum equivalent to that now avail
able for new construction und hot
leimonts. , Cnder this threatening
Hluation, the highway commission
has been forced to call a halt in
lis contemplated program for next
year and to hold in abeyance any
expenditure other than mainte
nance and the mandntory pay
ments of principal and interest on
road bonds.
The above neuron are baaed on
careful unci conservative estimates
of state revenues relating to the
highway fund, which was set up
by the people and the legislature
to accomplish a definite program of
state road construction. This pro
gram is far from completion at thi;
time.
