77,768 New Cars

New freight cars put on the rails
in 1852 totaled 77,768, the Associa-
ton of American Railroads reported
this week. More than $4,000 are on
order in car plants and railroad
shops.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1953-02-06

These measures propose:
/. Replacing of present gross We
hicle weight truck-trailer ta1
schedule with a weight-mile
law.
2. Increasing the tax on gasoline
by another one-half cent.
3. Taxing all crude oil production
five cents per barrel for high
way purposes.
a. Increasing the tax on diesel
fuel used on highways from
six to 10 cents.
WEIGHT-MILE PROPOSAL
House Bill 250-the weight-mile
proposal, is closely patterned after
the highly successful Oregon weight
mile act which has the enthusiastic
backing. of the people of that state.
CA referendum vote on measure last
November showed Oregon people be-
hind the act by two-to-one score.
Under HB $50, trucks would pay on
the basis of weight hauled and the
greater weight hauled over the high
ways, the more tax that would be
paid. Rough estimates place possible
highway revenue from this source
in the neighborhood of $3.5 million
per year-or about SIS million more
than state is currently receiving from
gross vehicle weight law.
HB $50 was introduced by seven
Democrats and six Republicans. They
are: McAndrews, Wood, McElwain,
Schiltz, Hanson (Custer), Pfohl,
Johnson (Silver Bow, Tobin (Lewis
& Clark, Emmons, Michels, Barrett,
and Mahoney-

Mexicans Arrested
In Farm Land Fraud
BY the Assoeiuted Press

MEXICO CITY, June 25.-The
Finance Ministry announced the
arrest yesterday Of government
officials, workers and policemen
it said had defrauded the gov
ernment Of millions of pesos
under the Mexican appropriation
law.
Finance Minister Antonia Car
rillo Flores said the scandal in
volved at least 10 million pesos
($2.2 million) and that the total
might run higher when all the
facts are known.
Four men, including q govern
ment section chief. were charged
with fraud, forging documents
and forgery Of seals and sig
natures. Two policemen were
charged with accepting bribes.
Under the appropriation law
the law under which foreign oil
properties were seized in 1888
the government may conf1scate
large haciendas and divide the
land among small land owners.
The owner of the hacienda
a large ranch or farm-n1ay re-
tain $50 hectares (370 acres) for
himself and is paid in agrarian
bonds for the balance.
In one current case. bogus
appropriations were reported and
a government official illegally
rubber stamped the necessary
documents emitting friends-al-
legged owners of the haciendas-
to collect agrarian bonds from
the government.
