EFFORT 10 ERASE
Federal Threat to Withhold
Road Aid May Complete
War on Trade Fences.
Br Paul W. Harrey, Jr.
Salem. Dec. 1 UFl Oregon's
loriR battle to break down trade
barrier! between states was won
partially here Monday at a
meeting of motor vehicle admin
istrators of the Pacific coast
states, but a complete victory
may be won only by the feder
al al government's threat to with
' draw road funds from states
which insist on maintaining
these barriers. t
Secretary of State Earl Snell,
chairman of the committee on
reciprocity of the national as
...umn nt motor vehicle ad
ministrators, is recognized as
one of the prime movers in me
i- fight. Oregon is pioneering in
v.i fiolH lust as it was the first
state to levy the gas tax and
the first to build a modern, con
crete highway system.
Tough on Truckers
Nowadays a truck operator
who sends his trucks through
1 slntps has a Dretty tough
time of it. He has to pay tribute
to all of the states, some 01
which charge fees of astronomic
at nrnnnrtlflnl
This system, under which
each state soaks the trucKS 01
l MViAr states, amounts to a bur
den on interstate commerce. It
Isn't limited only to trucks,
since some states charge tour
ietc rpftistrntinn fees.
The council on state govern
ments recently started worn on
Vi nrnhlem bv suggesting all
states adopt a proposed uniform
law. This will take a lot of
time because many state legis
latures, under pressure of the
truck lobbies of their own
states, will be reluctant to re
duce the fees charged out-of-state
trucks.
Government Acts
The federal Government, how
ever, recently raised a howl that
might bring results. First Secre
trv nf Commerce Horjkins oro
tested, and he was seconded by
Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
Then the federal bureau of
public roads got down to busi
ness, suggesting at a meeting
) in San Francisco last spring of
' the nation's motor vehicle ad
ministrators that states which
refuse to break down their trade
barriers against other states

THE lowly onion tnkes a new
lease on lite, and now it's the
hit of the table. A Jar of deviled
ham and a bottle of chill sauce do
their stuff for the secret Is in the
stuffing. A time saver, too. for you
can prepare them in the morning
and bake them Just before serving

simple salads. The way to do both
is this way:

Portland, Dec. 1 (.'PI No

A total of 40S permits, In
cluding 104 residences to cost

might lose their federal road
money.
This would mean that those
states which refuse reciprocity
would lose all their federal aid
road projects. This made quite
an impression on the state of
ficials, who thought what a
protest their motorists would
make about having this federal
money go to states which had
reciprocity.
The government's position is
that the federal road funds giv
en states more than make up
for the loss in fees which would
result from full reciprocity.
The meeting here Monday
didn't affect fees at all. But it
did result in an agreement
whereby the three coast states
would not require licenses of
out-of-state trucks as long as
those trucks limited their bust
ness to interstate commerce.
There are many other kinds
of trade barriers which have
nothing to do with motor ve
hicles. Some states keep out
agricultural products of other
states by rigid inspection, a few
levy taxes on products pur
chased in other states, and so on.
Oregon's motor vehicle laws
drew a nice compliment from
Louis Morony, Washington, D.
C, director of the national as
sociation of motor vehicle ad
ministrators. After pouring over
the Oregon laws for two days,
Morony said they were "tops in
the nation."
"Oh, of course not.. I couldn't
consider it an ultimatum be
cause a person has an oppor
tunity to reject an ultimatum."

now meets weekly at the Med

Springer, N. M., Dec. 1. (fl)
A woman passenger of a
wrecked transcontinental bus,
identified only as a Miss Sher
man of Buffalo, N. Y., died with
out regaining consciousness to
day from injuries received when
the big sleeper transport plowed
into a bridge over the Vermejo
river last night.
One other passenger was re
ported near death and 11 were
in hospitals. Only one person
of the 14 aboard, an 8-year-old
boy, escaped unharmed when
the bus was wrecked and part
ially destroyed the one-way
steel bridge after hitting it in
a blinding mountain snowstorm
about 8 p. m.
State republican leaders can't
see any merit in the idea of
putting state public welfare em
required by the federal govern
ment. Under the system, which
will be effective January 1, pres
ent employes would be assured
of keeping their jobs.
What the republicans don t
like is having the democratic
employes retained, and most of
the workers were hired during
the democratic administration
of -Gov. Charles H. Martin.
The government said Oregon
doesn't have to adopt the sys
tem unless it wants to. But
Uncle Sam added hastily that
if Oregon didn't adopt it, there
would be no more federal relief
funds given to the state. And
federal funds amount to 37 per
cent of the total spent In the
state.
When a social security board
representative told Governor
Sprague he shouldn't consider
the demand an ultimatum, the
governor replied:
Chicago, Dec. 1. Of) Only
prompt improvement in walking
and driving habits' can head off
a national traffic death toll for
1939 greater than last year's.
The National Safety Council
reported today the accident
trend tbok a turn for the worse
in October, and if it continued
in November and December the
2 per cent saving in lives for
the first ten months of 1939
would be wiped out.
