(API Initial aU tack upon the new state law requiring a $10 tee for vehicles of the pickup and light delivery types, with a com blned weight and load limit of 4.000 pounds or less, was nude in the Ma rlon comity circuit court here today before Judge L. H. McMillan. The ittack was Instigated by W. 8. Boatman, farmer of Tillamook county. In i friendly complaint against the secretary of atate. whoa office has charge of collecting the feea. The act was passed by the 1934 session of the legislature. Attorneys for the plMntlff argued that the act was discriminatory against the farmer and against own ers of light pick-up trucks In that It assessed them higher for license plates than farmers operating motor trucks of more than 4.000 pounds. The law previously permitted farm era operating motor trucks for their own uso to obtain license rates at half the cost regularly assessed. The new law deflnea motor trucks aa care having i combined weight of 4.000 pounda or more, and those weighing less than 4,000 pounds must pay the flat 110 fee with no portion reduced to the farmers. Attorjveye declared that in many Insancea the heavier trucks paying on l weight basis received license plates for less than 10, while those operat ing the lighter cars were not entitled to a reduotlon.
