OF JUSTICE COURT
George 8. Barton of the Truck

ciation, today asserted that the local
Justice court is without Jurisdiction
in fining truck owners for non-compliance
with the public utilities law
which requires operators of commer
cial vehicles to be registered and It-
censed under the Public Utilities com
mission.
Mr. Barton also stated that the
state committee for commercial ve
hicle owners was organized for the
purpose of securing equitable legisla
tion for protecting the small truck
owners. Reference was made to the
series of arrests made over the week
end by state police of truck operators
without PUC plates.
Mr. 'Barton stated that a further
explanat Ion of the laws Mould be
made at the truck owners' meeting
scheduled for this evening.
He referred to the cases In Justice
court Monday In which two drivers
were each assessed $25 fines for not
having PUC plates. He stated that
"hundreds of similar cases have been
dismissed throughout the state."
Complaints made out against the
operators were taken from Chapter
429. Oregon laws of 1933, in which
the law la outlined, and provides the
penalties for violations.
District attorney's office said this
afternoon that the new truck bill,
which has been In dispute for some
time, has not been received from Sa
lem, and until the matter Is defi
nitely settled, the law now in effect
will be enforced.

INSANE CARE LEVY
SALEM, bee. 12. (AP) Counties
which have already levied for pay
ment to the state for care of non
violent Insane for the year 1934. will
carry that sum to the surplus fund
Und credit against the following year's
levy. It was the opinion of members
of the state tax commission today.
The section of the law requiring
counties to pay the state for the
care of non-violent was repealed when
the legislature passed a 1933 bill
over the veto of the governor and re
lieving counties of this responsibility.
The state, as a result will lose its
greatest revenue for care of insane,
as collections from relatives or es
tates the past year fell far below
that spent by the counties.
No law 'was passed by the legisla
ture this session to take care of this
money If already levied. It will there
for follow the usual procedure of
going Into the surplus fund to offset
budget Items under emergency for
which no levy had been made or to
be credited against the levy the fol
lowing year. The new act becomes
effective March 9.
