Former Highway Director
Refutes Ton-Mile Claims

EDITORS NOTE: This is the thirc
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 te
proposed legislation which WOULD
impose a ton-mile 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 1916.
In the first article it was shown
that the Senator was right when
he conceded that the ton-mile
tax is unavoidable. 1t was further
shown that the weight-distance tax
which he advocates in place of
the ton-mile tax is likewise un-
workable and highly inequitable
In the second article, the basic
unsoundneSs of any tax which
uses weight and milage for calcu-
lating hikhway usage was pointed
out. In addition, Senator Bartun-
ek'S argument that a weight-dis-
tance tax should be enacted to
prevent overlooking Of trucks was
exposed as fallacy. Enforcement
Of weight laws requires manpower,
as Senator Bartunek admits; and
tax law does not provide man.
power.
This article is confined to the
damaging effects Of ton-mile or
weight-distance tax on reciprocal
relations with other states.
Wherever the "ton-mile, weight
distance" or any other form of
third-structure tax is adopted, re-
ciprocity with other states goes
out the window.
Ohio cannot afford, by reason of
the tremendous amount of manu-.
factured and processed goods that
must seek markets outside of the
state, to have reciprocity broken
down. Ohio seeks and must have
the markets of other states and
countries in order to maintain its
economic position.
Cost of transportation has a
direct bearing on the shipping
radius of all commodities. In this
respect state lines must be made
as inconspicious as possible to op-
en- these markets to our producers.
There is a discriminatory incli-
nation on the part of the advocates
of the weight-distance tax to with
hold from the interstate for-hire
trucks, which constitute only one

Indian Affairs Now In
Most Acute Crisis Ever

The following summary of the
proposed government proposal to
change the whole policy of gov
eminent Indian relationships, was
issued recently by the Indian At
fairs committee of the Associ-
alton of American Indian Affairs
of which Mr.. Oliver LaFarge, of
New York, is president. His state
ments follow:

found misunderstanding of the

real Indian problem"

Urgency required drastic action

officials and Congressional COM
mittees are being pushed head
long toward enactment without
public hearings or notice to the
Indians. One of these is already
law.
The conscience of America
must awaken if the worst Indian
betrayal in hundred years Is to
be averted.

Abandons Legal Responsibility

lection afforded them heretofore

ing Federal responsibility, it au-
thorizes any State to impose its
civil and criminal jurisdiction on
Indian communities within its
borders - at the States exclu-
sive discretion as to time and pro-
cedures.
This drastic reversal of policy
repudiates promises of century,
on the basis of which Indian trib-
es coded most of the us. to the
nation - promises that Indian
tribal organizations would be re-
cognized, Indian customs respect
ed, Indian property safeguarded.
Federal law has prevented State
interference with tribal rules of
tribal membership, tribal cleo
tons, assignments of tribal land,
use of tribal resources, inheri-
lance of personal property, hand
ling local offenses in tribal courts
and other matters of local self
government. Public Law 280 ends
these projections.
The way subsection of Indian
communities to State law was or
dered by the Federal government
is as questionable as the FEEDER
al abdication. Congress wrote a
quitclaim of Federal jurisdiction
into riders (Sections and y to

were held; no notice was given

The original bill was meas.

ly. When it was later amended to
include Minnesota, Nebraska, Or
egon, and Wisconsin, exceptions
were made of the Redlake Chip
pewa of Minnesota, Warm
Springs Indians of Oregon, and
Menominees of Wisconsin, who
asked to remain under Federal
jurisdiction. Sections 6 and 7 for

of the option allowed these three.
Veto Appeals Fail
Few in or out of Congress knew
what was in the law when Con-
gress passed it on August l. Un-
til uly 81, it was masked under
its original title, suggesting it
concerned only Indians of Cali
fornia. AS the truth became
known, angry protests and a
strong movement for presidential
veto arose quickly among Indians
of Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, Washington, Utah, and the
Dakotas; and organizations like
the American Civil Liberties
Union and the Association on AM
erican Indian Affairs, and out
standing newspapers, including
The New York Times, the New
York Herald Tribune, and Wash
ington Post, called for a veto.

alertness of Indian tribes and
their friends.
Abandonment and
Liquidation In . Hurry

Liquidation of Indian commun-
ity life and the Indian estate can
not be too abrupt for some. Sen
ators Malone and Butler (of Ne
braska) sponsor S. isis to end
Federal trust and liquidate all
tribal organizations and dispose
of their assets within 3 years. It
would repeal the Indian Reorgan-
ization Act of 1884 on which the
activities of self-governing Indian
communities are based, and
would abolish the Indian Bureau.
The Task Ahead
Glenn Emmons of Gallup, New
Mexico, became Commissioner on
August 10. He was nominated for
the Commissionership by the Ma
vajo tribe, among others. It is
still too soon to assess his views
and policies, but not too early to
say that Indians and their friends
look to him and the President to
halt Federal abandonment and re-
turn Federal policy to just and
honorable principles.
What Indians need is a Federal
program that keeps faith with
the nations commitments, that
promotes rehabilitation, group by
group, of those we have so poorly
served, that gives the Indians

mended, therefore, that at the
earliest possible time in the next
session of the Congress, the Act
be amended to require such con-
sultation with the tribes prior to
the enactment of legislation sub.

as well as approval by the Fed

The amendments suggested are
urgently needed to protect Indian
rights. Indians and their friends
must mobilize behind the Presi-
dents recommendations. 1t may
be difficult to win them in the
present anti-Indian mood in
Washington.
What Are Indian Prospects
Under the States?
The tragic history of Indians
under the States is not the only
cause of Indian anxiety about
Federal abandonment. State and
local actions give substance to In
dian fears.
In two crucial court cases that
the Association has entered, State
or local officials still seek to le-
galize discrimination against In
dams. The State of Arizona has
appealed a Federal court D.C)
decision that Arizona's Social Sc
curity program for the disabled
excluding Indians, is in conflict
with the 14th Amendment. San
Diego County, California, simil-
arly, refuses to accept the judg-
ment of a California Superior
Court that County relief discrim-
ination against Indians is illegal.
st. Charles, South Dakota pub
lie school authorities, yielding to
local prejudice, refused for an
entire school year to enroll In
dian children. AS we write, the
Association is investigating Cal
ifornia arrest of two Yurok wo-
men on August Is for fishing in
the klamath River, an Indian
fishing ground for generations.
Is this how State law operates

fiance of ancient hunting and
fishing rights of Indians?
