tion to the Oregon House of
Representatives opposing Sen
ate Bill 59 which would in
crease the weight mile tax on
the average logging truck by
approximately $703 a year.
Darrell Davis, Medford,
SOCTFA president, explained
the bill would raise the flat
fee option on log hauling. E.
E. McGrew, Medford, chair
man of the truck committee,
noted (he present bill would
increase the flat fee by 15
pe. cent. This would affect
approximately 600 logging
trucks in this area, truckers
estimated this morning.
In his resolution Davis
noted that logging trucks
would be required to pay more
than their fair share of state
highway construction and
maintenance costs.
Operete on Poor Roads
"Log trucks operate prin
cipally over poorly construct
ed and maintained system of
secondary roads and under
conditions where 50 per cent
of their mileage is empty and

Davis said
i "However, highway trans
