It Is not a sew idea, but has some bearing on the situation the legislature will have to deal with. A large percentage, there Is no way of knowing just bow much, of the gasoline which Is used each year In Oregon Is burned up by delivery trucks and pleasure cars within the city limits of Oregon cities. The city has to maintain its own streets, paying for repairs by taxing real property. The state taxes gaso line and spends the money to build and keep up roads outside the city limits. Not only are the businessmen of the city paying for roads out in the country, hut so is every auto 1st woo drives on the city pavements. With each gallon of gas he will be paying the stats and county 0 cents in tax, every bit of which to spent ea county roads, leaving the city to keep up its pavement by property taxes. The city is morally Justified in tak ing part of the gas tax to use on its own streets, but the question Is, how to get It?
