Montana's Highuays Who Should Pay For--

tax based on mileage and avoirdu-
pois. =.
Because Americas principal high
ways are administered and construct
ed by the states, the regulation of
motor vehicles has, so far, been
matter for the nations forty-eight
separate compartments. But local
control and taxation of business as
big as trucking does not always work.
Consolidated Freightways, which
crossed $18,500,000 in 1949, span
ned more state lines than many Glass
| railroads. And the number of big
trucks is constantly growing.
AS affairs stand now, with trucks
under state control, there is no uni
formity in the levies extracted from
these juggernauts of the asphalt.
In Oregon with its weight-distance
tax 60,000-pound truck-and- trailer
pays total taxes and fees of $2,445
year. In New Jersey the same
unit, clicking off the same mileage,
pays $50. Before New York enact
ed weight-distance tax in 1851, the
Manning Committee of the state SEN
ate reported:
''The owner of twenty-two-
ton tractor-semitrailer in New
York pays $14O, while an identical
truck in California would be taxed
$2,055."
Clearly this situation cannot go
on. If lobbying can block the weight
distance tax in enough state legisla-
lures, it may eventually become an
other headache for the national gov
eminent in Washington.
Wouldn't it be better to defeat
the lobby whenever it appears, and
enact the weight-distance tax in ev-
cry state?

MARYLAND TESTS PROVIDED
PROOF OF THE PUDDING"

For many years the truckers We
hemently denied that they were
breaking up the highways. Then in
1851 the Maryland road tests were
held. Eleven eastern states approp-
rated $246,000 comparatively to de-
termine, once and for all, the impact
of heavy trucks on pavement. On
typical mile of us. 301, nine miles
south of LaPlata, Maryland, the
trucks wrote their record in broken
slabs and crumbled edges. Vans and
vehicles of various weights and sizes
rumbled back and forth over differ
ent sections of the test strip for six
months. Expert drivers were in the
cabs. Engineers of the Bureau of
Public Roads participated in a re-
view of the results.
These showed that a truck with an
axle load Of 22,4OO pounds cracked
a cement slab 6.4 times more than a
truck with an S,O0O-pound load
When highway titans with twin sets
of rear axles and wheels were used,
"A, SOO-pound loads did 1873 times as
much damage as 32,OOO-pound loads
on two axles. After repeated "pas-
ses" by trucks with twin-axIe loads
of 44,8OO pounds, almost all the
highway slabs were cracked. :.
The Maryland venture underworld
many statements the truckers had
been challenging. 1t tended to sus-
tain the claim of R. H. Baldock, Ore
CONS chief highway engineer and
father of the weight-distance tax,
that "only two factors seriously de-
stroy roads--big trucks and weather"
It, made moderate the California leg
islative committee contention that
"he'avy vehicles should be held re-
sponsible for about So per cent of
total road COSTS. And it provided
powerful ammunition for the sup
porters of truck tax. Furthermore,
it pointed finger at the long-dis-
lance behemoths which always have
been the real target of a highway

| -
or fee of 5.8 per cent, while rail
roads must regularly pillow back 20
per cent of their income into main
tanning and constructing tracks.
This has come about because the
average motorist has been putting
up the bulk of the funds needed for
building roads far more sturdy than
his car requires and for repairing
roads which his car has not damaged.
In a typical state today private-car
owners contribute 60 per cent of
the total revenue received from users
of roads. Many states now have a
gasoline tax of seven to nine cents a
gallon, which is perilously close to
the point of diminishing returns.
And the truckers reap the profits.
Is there no valid way that trucks
can be made to pay for the harm
they do and the expensive road and
bridge construction they demand?
AS trucks multiplied on the high
ways during World War III, some
engineers suggested that they pay
their share in abnormally high Ii
cense fees. Specifically the recon-
mendation made sense, but it provid
ed no guage of usage. A special flat
bed truck to move steam shovels,
say, would pay the same plate fee as
an over-the-road commercial hauler
of equal tonnage. But the flatbed
rig might travel only 5000 miles a
year to the others $4,000 miles. To
peg truck taxes solely to license
plates is to offer a bonanza to the
big trucking companies whose fleets
do the most damage.
However, there is an answer. Ore
gon, the state that pioneered in the
gasoline tax, has taken the lead in
another highway innovation: the
WEIGHT-DISTANCE TAX, a sched-
ule of graduated fees collected from
commercial vehicles by the Public
Utilities Commissioner.
The fees are geared to two factors:
the weight of the truck and the dis
lance it travels, and they rise sharp
ly in the upper tonnage limits.
For example, dairy with a $1,000
pound pickup truck pays one-fourth
of cent per mile. A 30,000-pound
Greyhound bus is charged 1.45 cents
mile. And a ,000-pound truck
and-trailer must put out four cents
mile. Although the price changes
do Of
weight, the changes are not uniform.
From 5000 pounds to 10000 the
fee rises one-tenth of cent. But
between 10000 pounds and $4,000
(almost twice the weight of rail
road boxcar, the rise is one-sixth of
a cent, which places the heaviest
costs on the heaviest offenders.
The weight-distance tax has anoth-
er advantage. 1t is as hard to hide
from as the Canadian Mounties. A
high license-plate charge can be cir
cumvented by registering a truck in
another state and then taking ad-
of reciprocity agreements to
operate across state lines. Raising
gasoline taxes in an individual state
merely induces interstate haulers,
the worst culprits in destroying pave
ment, to have their fuel tanks brim-
ming when the state line is crossed.
But the weight-distance tax is collect
ed from all trucks operating any
where on the road system of a par
ticular state, although farmer-owned
pick-ups may be excepted. /.
The gasoline tax which originated
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1952-10-17

IN oregon quickly DIdnkeCeU CIlS ma
ton. Over a similar extension of
the weight-distance tax rage the bit
terest political battles being fought
in American state legislatures today.
The ingenious levy already has
spread full-blown to New York and
Idaho, and in modified form to such
states as Kansas, Colorado, and Wis
consin. Other states are now send
ing delegations to Oregon to see for
themselves how the tax operates.
That truckers recognize the eff
fectiveness of the weight-distance
formula is demonstrated by the fer
ocity of their resistance in a dozen
states where it has been proposed.
After a committee of New York leg
islators visited Oregon to study the
idea in action, a comparable bill was
dropped into the hopper at Albany.
At the height of the ensuing fight
Governor Thomas E. Dewey told the
press:
This bill is being opposed by a
powerful, highly-organized lobby,
devoted exclusively to the purpose
of preserving the extreme prefer
ence now enjoyed by the biggest
trucks. The lobby is infesting the
halls of the legislature and putting
inexcusable pressure upon individ-
ual Legislators at their homes"
The pattern and tactics are ma
tional in scope. Governor Forrest
Smith of Missouri, in whose state the
truckers defeated 100000 tax
measure, informed the st. Louis Post
at is common knowledge
that money changed hands on the
floor of the House during the SEES
sion." He further specified that the
money had come "from the lobbyists
for the truck interests" and announc-
ed that 100000 had been raised to
defeat the bill. :.
=. When Governor Adlai E. Stew
enson suggested a legislative investi-
cation of the lobby working against
his truck tax measure, even that
persistent tormentor of the Governor,
the Chicago Tribune, went along
with him.
In Colorado the Denver Post and
other newspapers called for the i'm
parchment of a legislator in the
trucking business who took leading
role in knitting all bills to tax trucks.
All over the land the story has
been the same-in New Hampshire,
Ohio, Maryland, Minnesota. +. Dur
ing my service in both branches of
he legislature the lobby which work
I'd to block substantial increases in
he weight-distance tax was the most

In Pill Subsfifufions

Albert Feldman. District drug
gist, today was sentenced by Chief
Judge Bolitha j. Laws of District
Court to pay a $500 fine and
placed on probation for a year on
charges of causing ascorbic acid
pills to be substituted in place of
cortisone.
The substitutions were in con-
nection with five sales. Feldman
trades as Calvert Chemists, 2315
Calvert street NV.
In placing Feldman on proba-
ton for a year, Judge Laws aus-
pended a one-year jail sentence.
In a memorandum opinion, the
jurist was critical of "the unusual
procedure" followed in the case.
Feldman was sentenced on ar
information to which he hao
pleaded nolo contendere (Eo con-
test), but denied he had any
knowledge of the substitutions
having been made. A hearing had
been held before Judge Laws after
the no contest plea to acquaint
the court with facts in the case
"The court knows of no prece-
dent for the unusual procedure
followed in this case," Judge Laws
said. "It is one which should not
be sanctioned. If the prosecution
relies on w1llful misconduct, which
the defendant denies, it should
charge it and prove it at regular
trial in accordance with estab-
liShed procedures"

Chest Federation Sets
Increased Goal Of
S4,15O,O00 for 50

The goal of the Community
Chest Federation for 1858 has been
set at $4,150,000. which is $315.O0O
more than was raised this year.
Edward j. Keyes, executive di-
Irector of the Budget Committee,
in announcing the goal, said it
was set as a "reachable goal, rath-
er than a minimum needs goal"
The Budget Committee recon-
mended pre-campaign tentative
ALLEGATIONS for the following: Fed
Grafton headquarters, 1891, $50;
Community Chests and Councils
of America. Inc, $13,819; United
Defense Fund (USO), $334,545;
collections and shrinkage reserve,
$248, TAT, and a federation contin-
gency fund of $25,000.
For the entire Metropolitan Area,
the committee recommended $2,-
$780, for Washington, $173.209
for Alexandria, $151,314 for Ar
|lington County, $133,287 for Fair
fax County. $174,615 for Mont
|gomery County. $120,757 for
Prince Georges County and $53,-
All for a disqualification fund.
The disqualification fund is for
the benefit of Prince Georges
County Community Chest and will
be transferred to it's lump-sum al
location from the federation. It
was explained that all chests, ex-
|cept Prince Georges, have funds
for hospital care in their lump
sum ALLEGATIONS.
Harry Boswell of the executive
committee of the Prince Georges
County Community Chest, made a
plea for additional funds for Prince
Georges. He said the formula set
for his county in 1948, must be
abandoned. He said the county
had increased its population by
lit per cent since the war and
now has 13 per cent of the popu-
lation of the entire Metropolitan
Area but is getting less than 51a
per cent.
