Former Highway Director
Refutes Ton-Mile Claims

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
first in a series of four articles
by former Ohio Highway Director,
Perry T. Ford, who now is Exec
utive Director of the Ohio Truck
ing Association, setting forth the
trucking industry's opposition to
proposed legislation which would
impose a ton-mi|e or weight dis
tance tax on commercial trucks,
as an additional means of raising
revenues for building new high
ways. Mr.. Ford was Director of
Highways under Governor Frank
J.. Lausche in 1945 and 1946.) ;.
COLUMBUS-The Ohio truck
ing industry welcomes the oppor-
tunity to. reply to recent state
ments by State Senator Joseph w.
Bartunek of Cleveland relative to
tho ''weight-distance tax" and
published in various newspapers
throughout the state.
Senator Bartunek has been a
staunch supporter of the "ton-mile
tax" of which he says the weight
distance tax is a refinement, and
it is refreshing to have him ad-
init that the ton mile tax, literally
speaking, is impossible to admin
lister.
However, 1t is distressing to
note that the Cleveland Senator
further attempts to confuse the
public by arguing that changing
the label or even the form of the
tax from 'ton-mile" to weight
distance" removes administrative
defects and inequities.
The Senator's first article in
which he advances this argument
is grossly misleading. He needs
only to review the testimony Civ
en- by proponents Of the ton-mile
tax before the committees of the
House and the Senate of the 9oth
General Assembly, two years ago,
to find that what he now describes
as the weight-distance tax is exact
ly what they then proposed as a
ton-mile tax.
This is confirmed by the lang
uage of H. B. No. 531, which was
always referred to as the "Ton
Mile Tax Bill"
It says Combined weight means
the weight of the motor vehicle
plus the weight of the maximum
load which such motor vehicle
may carry as declared by the ap.
plicant subject to audit and ap.
proval by the tax commissioner.

trucking industry in that state"
who we're subject to the tax. That
statement was made at a recent
meeting of the American Asso-
citation of Motor Vehicle Admin
istrators in Chicago.
He might also have included a
very pertinent observation made
by the editor of the Youngstown
Vindicator in an editorial on
Tuesday, August 5, 1852, when
he said: ''In practice the ton-mile
tax presents an appalling admin
istrative job and a high cost Of
collection. 1t is virtually impossi-
BILE for a state to keep track Of
the weight of every truck load
and the distance it travels. Essen
TALLY the collecting agency must
rely on the truckers reports, and
this opens the door to fraud by
the dishonest at the expense of
the conscientious. The effort to
reduce fraud is costly"
But when the Senator argues
that the weight-distance tax over
comes the evils of the ton-mile
tax, he departs from findings that
are now before the General AS
sembly. The Highway Finance
Report prepared for the Ohio
Program Commission, pointed out
among other things, that the
weight-distance tax has one ar
bitrary element in the fact that
the weight class and therefore
the tax rate, are fixed bv the on.
orators declaration of the maxi
mum weight he expects to carry
at any time during the period o
his permit. This maximum, i
honestly declared, may have little
relation to the actual weight OF
to the average weight carried
throughout the year."

tempt to show why the third
structure tax is Dasically un
sound.)

I, therefore, assert that the
whole context of the first article
by Senator Bartunek is unsound,
illogically arrived at, and delib-
crate attempt to camouflage the
issues in the face of the mount
ing unacceptability of the whole
scheme for a new tax structure.
We now have in Ohio two
forms Of highway taxes--the gas
oline tax and the graduated mo-
tor vehicle license tax. It is our
purpose to show that any type of
'sthird structure" tax is bad for
Ohio. Senator Bartunek and his
followers will not deny that a
"third structure" must be en-
.ployed if either the ton-mile or
weight-distance tax is enacted.
Third structure, according to
their own testimony before the
committees of the 99th General
Assembly, means new tax machin-
cry for collection and administra-
ton.
Fundamentally, Ohio is faced
with the problem of raising addi-
tional funds for highway purposes
and the trucking industry stands
ready and willing to bear its fair
and equitable share.
We propose to show in this and
three subsequent articles that
there are three reasons why the
third structure tax is bad; i. e..
(a) A third-structure tax is ba
sically unsound where weight and
mileage are used in computing
the tax.
CD A third-structure tax breaks
down and destroys reciprocal re
lations with other states.
| (c) The cost of administration
is prohibitive.
Any one of the above is suffi
cient of itself to cause Ohio
which moves better than 81 pei
cent of its manufactured goods b!
motor transport, to frown on an!
"third-structure" fax by Whatevel
name it is called.
Senator Bartunek admitted tha
about a dozen states have triet
the ton-mile system and have Civ
en- it up as unavoidable. The Sen
ator might have added the state
ment made by the Chief of tn
Highway Patrol Of Minnesota
which was one of the states aban
doning it, when he said that "the,
were not able to collect from
more than so per cent of tn

these sturdy pioneers. They will
ingly gave up established homes
in settled communities to establish
new homes in a wilderness.
Even the journey to these new
hemes represented difficulties far
beyond modern comprehension.
For weeks, wagons toiled through
virtually untouched wilderness, or
by means Of primitive flatboats
the pioneers utilized the broad
rivers to carry them into the Ohio
Country.
Because Ohio's early settlers
were men and women of this type,
it is only natural that in this State
should have been born men and
women Of equal courage, of equal
spirit, who have brought renown
to the Buckeye State. Whatever
the field may be, Ohio men and
women stand in the front ranks.

 Deliveries have totaled near a million and a half feet. Capt. l.. T.. Campbell of the Campbell Towing Company said last week cut by the Mill Creek Spruce Company.
 The use of lumber in the con crete and brick mill near Ketchi- kan is about at an end as the mill hears completion after two years.
 Wrangell lumber has been in de- mand by the contractors because of the quality and ease of delivery and has kept the eight-man crew at Mill Creek jumping to take care of other orders along with the Ward Cove builders.
