MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON i Weight Mile Tax Payments Indicate Truck Business Up Salem - Payments of the weight mile tax, a good ba rometer of the economic wel fare of the trucking industry in Oregon took an upturn dur ing the first week of May, heralding what may well be a return to normalcy for the state's timber industry. Tip-off to the upsurge In timber activity came from an analysis of the monthly sta tistics released this week by the state public utility com missioner which revealed that log haulers are rapidly switch ing from standard mileage re ports to their flat fee option. When business is not cer tain, log truckers usually re port only on miles traveled, but when the outlook is good they generally use their flat fee option which is paid in advance on a monthly basis . . . remaining the same re gardless of miles traveled.

The queen was the third British monarch in history and the first in 38 years to meet with a pope in a private audience in Vatican City. She is the head of the Church of England. The white skull-capped pon tiff and the queen, in a black lace gown, moved with digni ty but friendly ease through the ponderous protocol of an official visit. The royal couple talked pri vately with the pope for 28 minutes in the papal library. Then the trio emerged smiling and chatting to allow the Ro man Catholic leader to meet other members of the royal entourage. Brief Welcoming Speech Pope John took his place in the throne room, waved the queen first to her gold lac quered red plush chair, then seated himself to read a brief address of welcome in French. The queen was not required by protocol to respond in pub lic to the pope. She shook hands after which the pontiff presented his gifts. Instead of the usual gold pontifical medals or religious articles bestowed on visitors, the pope had a surprise. It was a rare set of ancient Ro man coins found in the Cata combs. They were beautifully mounted in a block of crystal. Eight of the coin heads were of Roman empresses. Queen Elizabeth's gift was also different a mahogany walking stick with a rhino ceros horn handle. Once on a Hat fee, they must remain with It for the rest of the year. Commissioner Jonel C. Hill said that the log haulers went on straight mileage reports at the beginning of this year when the timber industry slowed almost to a standstill. The lack of reports during the changeover from flat fee to straight mileage created a lag of two months in collec tions, clouding the statistical picture. In addition, Hill said the combined payment of-$184,-732.14 made by 34 common carriers In the Oregon Truck ing Association at the first of the year added further, con fusion to 1961s topsy-turvy first quarter by pyramiding cash receipts that ordinarily would have been spread through February. To complete the statistical nightmare, the Pacific Motor Trucking Company paid up $149,000 In delinquent high way use taxes during April. This sum was accumulated by PMT while making mall hauls in Southern Oregon for it's parent company, the Southern Pacific Railroad, and was dis covered by. the commissioner during a review of exhibits presented by the SP during a series of hearings on the dis continuance of passertger serv ice in the southwest part of the state. Hill said that up until May 3, total collections by his agency Including the PMT payment, were only 2 per cent below the same period last year, making it reasonable to expect year-end totals to equal or even better those of 1960. The key month, he declared, would be June, when the rapid changes now being ex perienced had settled down into a predictable pattern and an accurate forecast could be made.
