HIGHWAY COMMITTEE MEETS
(Continued IRON Page one

Continued from Page One)
Harold Olson of Roman, and Charles
D. Rowe Of Libby. This was one
of the few districts that had all of
its representatives present at the
meeting
The executive committee is to
make an exhaustive study of the
many highway problems, then sub
NIT a report for consideration of the
entire committee A final report
viii be submitted to the governor,
for his recommendation to the legis-
lature The executive committee was
authorized to secure the services Of
an out-of-state expert engineer who
will be provided by the Automotive
Safety Foundation, national or
ganization. The only cost for which
will be the experts actual expenses
The Safety Foundation has made
surveys of many states for legis
lative recommendations. the head
of the Foundation being in Oregon
at the present time This engineer
will work in cooperation with the
Montana Highway Department and
il is believed his expert advice will
be of great value Governor Ford
said the highway department will
pay all necessary expenses for the
services of out-of-state engineers
and all other costs of the study.
What Are Revenue Sources?
The meeting Saturday took no
definite action as to new or addi-
tional taxation, as that will be the
duty of the executive committee
after it has completed the studies,
said Rowe. However. there was a
running discussion of possible sour
ces of revenue. Suggested were an
increase of a cent or two in the gas
tax, a ton-per-m tax to get more
revenue from the heavy truckers,
also a gross tonnage tax, and many
some sort of tax on
Diesel fuel oil a growing necessity.
Now there is no compulsory tax on
Diesel fuel oil although a few of
the large operators are paying
tax This amounted to
only $4,000 during l947, which
0ne speaker said was so small as to
be an outrage. Diesel operated ma
chimes are being used more and
more on Montana highways and it !
vas thought they should pay a |
share of the cost of |
and maintaining the high |
ways. II was also suggested that
ONE change should be made in the
-as refund feature whereby con-
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1948-09-02

sumers of gasoline in machines not
run on the highways are refunded
the gas tax. Last year this refund
amounted to about 100000 and
cost the state about $4,000 in cler-
ical work. 1t is said a large volume
of gas is being used in cars and
trucks travelling the highways that
has paid no state tax because Of
the refund provision. These are the
various problems the committee
will have to solve
Many speakers voiced the opin-
ion, said Mr.. Rowe, that in organic
ing the statewide committee and
in calling in outside engineers there
is no intention to question the ability
of state engineers or of the state
department. The only pur-
pose is to help solve one of the
most difficult problems facing Mon
tana today-a problem of how to
produce the necessary funds to keep
Montana highways abreast of the
times.

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-Sena-
tor O'Conor, Democrat, of Maryland
says 1T is encouraging that
Russia has twice sought, by some
what devious means, to let the world
know she Is ready to talk peace"
The former Governor of Mary
land told q st. Joseph's College
communion breakfast meeting yes
terday that perhaps Russia realizes
now that, with United States help,
Western Europe is beginning to re-
vive and is not likely to be fertile
territory for further expansions.
He asserted however there Is
little prospect" for agreement be-
tween the Soviet Union and this
country unless Prime Minister Stain
lis willing to restore to freedom the
countries that have been taken be-
hind the iron curtain" adding:
Americans would be laying down
a false and insecure basis for last
ing peace if we were willing to
trade with the Soviet on the basis
that we would approve all its con-
quests to date-which is what Stain
takes for granted"
