Two Oregon Highway Measures To Be On Ballot November 4th By HALE SCARllKOVOll Oregon's highways, and the prop osition of who la to pay how much 01 the cost ot their construction and upkeep, are the subject of two immensely Important measures on the Nov, 4 atate ballot. Over the years this state has probed for a method of taxing ve hicles lor use oi hiKitways and roads, one that both produce a lot of money and la as fair aa can be expected (o all parlies concerned. and Decs in 1947 came up wiui what It calls the "welght-mlle" mrthod of computing the tax to be applied to commercially used trucks. Briefly, the welght-mlle aystem Stowaway Tries Again ' REDWOOD CITY. Calif. I Dickie Love, a veteran stowaway at 8, set out again yesterday. His destination tills time China. "The ship looked pretty good, but it didn't leave soon enough," Dickie told police, who picked him o(f the freighter and turned him over to his mother. Harassed Mrs. Love added the latest caper to Dickie's growing list that includes: . Stowing away on a ship that sailed from New Orleans. Stowing awav on an airliner from San Francisco to Los An geles to "see the big earthquake'' last month In Southern California. Twice traveling San Francisco Los Angeles streamliners.

He made the observation at a nes comerence snortly alter o.N. and Communist negotiators traded acid words for an hour at Pan munlom and made "no visible progress" toward settlement of the truce-oiociing issue of prisoner ex change. The delegations called a fourth straight week-long recess Gen. Nam II. senior Red delegate, pro tested, then agreed to setting the next meeting for Aug. 27. On chances of the talks to suc ceed. Harrison declared; "I've thought the Communists do want an armistice. It Is a matter of how much they are willing to nay for it." Harrison said It was possible for Reds to accept the U. N. position on prisoners. "They could give us a good cuss ing out and then accept our offer," he declared. "They never would have to agree with us on the prin ciple of no forced repatriation." Nam II was visibly angered by some of Harrison's remarks In the conference tent. The Red negotiator was partic ularly nettled when Harrison said the Communists "call the Chinese soldiers volunteers but when It comes to volunteering not to go home thev (Communists) won't recognize that." taxes the big freight rigs on a graduated scale, multiplying their gross weight capacity with the number of miles of usage of lllglt waya 111 the alate.

Theoretically II Is tun posed to make roinmrrclal truck ers pay Iheir (air share of road costs in the state as they pass through or as they operate on Ule state . ruaus ana nignways. However, a large segment of the trucking industry Is not satisfied with tho workings of the law, con siders It discriminatory, unfair and based on faulty reckoning that big trucks are a principal cause of damage to roads, and has managed to get the Mate law on the ballot by referendum. The referendum was sponsored by the Oregon Highway Council, an oi'Kanlcatlon made up primar ily ol long-distance haulers, and that orgiitiKatlon has by initiative petition placed a companion piece on the stato ballot which would In effect allow the Oregon Legislature to levy only license plate feea and (ue tuxes, which the Industry con siders fair taxation. Those two measures were the subject yesterday of a two-sltled discussion before the highways com mittee of the Chamber of Com merce. The dlscuaaton waa between Rep. Ed Geary of Klamath Coun ty, who is chairman of the House of Representatives' highways com mittee, and Bert Trask of Portland, official of the Oregon Highways Council, Their views are entirely diver gent. Trask declared that the welghl nule tax la discriminatory and In the long run will drive trucking business away from Oregon, ami that II It la allowed to continue In operation It will make Oregon's truck tuxes the hlghcnl In the na tion. Right now, .he auld, they're second highest. This type of taxatlun, Trask auld, la weak In various ways: It dis regards service to tho people. It works on the theory Hint trucks cau.ie road congestion and dum- age. It s (lllllrult to enloice, dll fault to collect and Invites attempt at evasion. And the higher tuxua just mean thnl tho c-otiMimara will liuve to pay higher prices. There Is In Oregon, as elsewhere. consldernble belief that big trucks are at Ihe root ol rond troubles. Trask said, but that isn't so. Axle load, he said, is whnl does tho damage, not gross weight and Ore gon limits loads to 18.000 pounds for one axle or 32,000 pounds lor a dual axle, A small truck with one load axle carrying a heavy load can do Just as much damage as a bigger truck with a much heavier loud snreiid over several axles, the Highway Council seuker declared. The truck Industry In Oregon em ployes around 80.000 persons, and iliilly benefits the iwrkelbonk of competition Willi the railroads, said Husk, That, brtelly, la Ihe position ol llio Orrguu Highway Council.
