What Is Suggested
For New Highwoy
Legislation
Rv Charles D. Rowe

All readers of this column should
be interested in any proposed
change in Montana highway legis-
lation. Therefore l am devoting
most of this column to publishing
the report of the Montana High
way Planning committee as it
touches proposed legislation The
committee was named by Governor
Ford and the report was submitted
to him before the end of his term.
Special attention should be given
to those features of the report that
would change the present law re-
garding division of highway funds.
The more heavily populated sec
tions of the state are asking that
highway funds be alocated large
ly on a basis of population, relative
use of highways, etc. That would
center a heavy portion of funds on
highways serving the larger cities,
leaving the more sparsely settled
sections of the state to get along
as best they can so far as road
development is concerned.
To further strengthen this ar
rangement, the committee suggests
that present highway commissioner
districts be abolished and that mem
berS of the highway commission be
appointed at large. That again
could give a majority or all of the
commissioners to favored districts.
Another thing to watch is the
suggestion that certain highways be
removed from the z per cent sys-
TEN. That might result in elimin-
ating such highways as No. 81 from
any federal z per cent aid, leaving
all future improvement of that i'm
portant highway to state and county
funds alone. OF course, the COM
mittee only recommends legisla-
ton. Any new law will have to be
enacted by the legislature, now in
session.
The complete report of the com
mittee follows, except few intro
ductory paragraphs. All suggested
changes in present laws are found
in the following.
Financial
Your Committee is unanimously
agreed that the most urgent pro-
blem is that of obtaining an ad-
ditionaI ~ million dollars per
year of highway revenue to insure
matching of federal aid funds al
located under the 1948 highway
Act Current highway income, plus
additional income from the sale of
the remaining authorized deben-
lures, available for actual highway
expenditures, will be totally con-
sumed in carrying out the presently
programmed construction, recon

be subject to inspection and weigh
ing at all times by enforcement Of
ficers. Loading of units in excess
Of the declared gross loaded weight
shall constitute a violation of the
law, and penalty for violation shall
be a fine Of not less than $4,000
for the first offense, $4,000 for the
second olfense, and $4,000 for the
third offense $4,000 shall be the
maximum penalty for any offense.
The tax will be collected by county
treasurers at the time license plates
are issued for each vehicle annually.
The proceeds from same shall be
RENTED to the State Treasurer on
the first day of each month for the
credit of the Montana Highway
Commission funds. County treas
urers will be authorized to collect
one-haf of the use tax on license
applications submitted after July
LIST of any year.
90 Opinions expressed from all
parts of the State thoroughly con-
WINGED the Committee that our gas
oline tax refund law is being con-
stantly violated Your committee
strongly urges that a careful study
be made of the methods of enforce
ment of regulations governing tax
refunds on all fuels, and that the
penalty for placing false claims be
a fine of not less than 500 nor
more than 100000, or six months
in jail, or both, and that the maxi
mum penalty be mandatory upon
conviction of third offense and the
above penalties be applied to all
fuel tax eVasions. It is recommend
ed that a sufficient appropriation
be made for the employment of not
less than six inspectors for the en-
forcement of the refund provisions
of the law. It is further recon-
mended that any seller, vendor, or
dispenser of motor fuels or any
of his employees or agents shall
be prohibited from assisting any
claimant in preparing tax refund
claims.
Administrative
Your Committee has concluded
that the present laws governing the
administration of highway opera
tions are properly subject to re-
vision, and makes the following
recommendations:
Cd It is recommended that the
law creating Montana Highway

debentures, our entire highway in
come viii be expended for retire
ment of debentures and mainten-
ance operations. Because of its i'm
mediate Importance, your Com
mittee devoted the major portion
of its deliberations to ways and
means of securing necessary, addi-
tional revenue by the fairest and
most economical manner possible.
Your Committee recommends
that the following enumerated meth
DDS be employed to secure the neces-
sary 2l2 million dollars per year:
Effective July l, 1919:
% One cent per gallon be added
to the present gasoline tax.
~ Tax on diesel fuel be increased
to eight cents per gallon.
CD Impose a tax in proportion to
the gasoline tax on propane, butane
and all other fuels, excepting gaSo-
line, by rating of pounds per horse
power hour, used for propelling We
hicles of any kind upon the high
way.
az The following annual vehicle
tax be imposed:
q. vi JdSSCl4BGI Vehicles. pl.UU
per passenger, based on the manu-
facturer's advertised capacity rating
of the vehicle, with a $500 mini
mum on any passenger vehicle.
b. On trucks; $500 per ton or
part thereof, based on the manu-
facturer's advertised rating, up to
and including trucks rated at two
tons capacity, and $1,000 per ton
or part thereof on trucks rated over
two tons capacity.
C. On trailers and semi-trailers:
$500 per ton or part thereof, based
on gross loaded weight of vehicle
up to and including two tons, $1,000
per ton or part thereof, based on
gross loaded weight of vehicle over
two tons.
At the time of applying for
license, the applicant or owner,
shall declare the maximum gross
weight of the trailer or semi-trail-
er loaded and detached from the
power unit. The declared gross
loaded weight of the vehicle shall
be shown on his receipt for payment
of use tax, and the declared gross
loaded weight of the vehicle shall
be stamped on the trailer or semi
trailer in a place visible for inspec-
ton. Trailer or semi-trailer shall

Commissioner Districts be repealed
