Oregon Road Tax Legislation
To Be Debated at Astoria Friday
By WILLIAM WARHCN
Salem CU.R) Astorians will
get a full-view dress rehearsal of
the fight on one of the most con
troversial problems facing the
voters of Oregon when State
Sen. Elmo Smith, John Day, de
bates Oregon road tax legisla
tion before the Astoria Chamber
of Commerce Friday noon with
representatives of the trucking
Industry.
Withstood Pressure
Smith, as chairman of the
Senate Highways Committee in
the 1951 legislature, withstood
one of the bitterest pressure
campaigns in Oregon legislative
history to guide the truck tax
measure to successful passage.

He has been doing exhaustive
research - in the meantime as
chairman of the legislative High
way Interim Committee and is
expected to throw some fair
sized thunderbolts at the array
of talent the truckers are expect
ed to present at the Astoria
meeting.
The John Day Republican
said: "I am convinced the out-of-state
truck interests have de
liberately set out to beat Ore
gon's truck laws regardless of
consequences, and they are
ready to use any tactics or pres
sure that will create misunder
standing in the minds of the
Oregon voters. They are now us
ing on the voters the tricks that
they used previously on the
legislature for the purpose of
evading fair taxes.
Tax Hoax Seen
"The big interstate operators
are evidently purpetrating a
first-rate tax hoax on the Ore-gon-owned-and-operated
trucks.
If successful, it will run many of
the small and medium sized
truckers, the private commer
cial truckers and others out of
business, and seriously cripple
the log truck operators.
"I am certain the Astorians,

as have all who have heard both
sides of the story, will give the
legislative program whole
hearted support."
Statewide Attention Seen
The Astoria meeting is ex
pected to attract statewide at
tention. It is the first public de
bate between a representative of
the public and the trucking in
dustry. Observers said it may
forecast some of the tactics to be
used by both sides before the
voters cast their opinions at the
November election on the legis
lative truck tax measure, which
the truckers have referred to a
vote of the people and the con
stitutional amendment which
the truckers have initiated.
The constitutional amend
ment would eliminate the ton
mile tax which would shift a
share of road cost to big truck
ers to small truckers and auto
owners, those opposed to it say.
