Bureau Federation
Urges AxIe-MiIe
Tax On Trucks

COLUMBUS-Ohio citizens were
urged today to speak out" in sup
port of the States decision not to
exempt out-of-state trucks from
paying the axle-mile tax.
In a statement released today,
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
President Everett F. Rittenour,
Piketon, said that if Ohio permit
ted exemptions, generally describ-
ed as reciprocity, then "our road
building program, which is urgent
,Iy needed, would be seriously inn
paired"
There are $4,000 trucks regis
tered for the axle tax and more
than $1,000 of them are from out
of state" Rittenour said. Surely,
it is reasonable. to expect that
these out-of-state trucks pay for
their use of our roads. They pre-
viously paid only a tax on what
ever fuel they bought in Ohio.
eff reciprocity is granted in this
situation" he said, then the burd-
en- of paying for Ohio's $500 mill
lion highway program will fall up
on Ohio residents: In other words,
they'll also have to pay for out-of-
state trucks using our roads"
Rittenour said the truckers
must realize that they must pay
their fair share of building and
maintaining the roads that en-
able them to stay in business.
They cannot expect the state of
Ohio and its residents to assume
the full burden.
"Exempting out-of-state trucks
certainly would be illogical and in
equitable" he said. "The axle tax
is a fair way of helping Ohio COM
plete its much-needed highway
program"

Renew Efforts To
Interest Seniors
In Teaching Jobs

Continuing efforts to encourage
outstanding high school seniors
from throughout Ohio to study for
careers as elementary school
teachers, Ohio State University
today had renewed for the year
1954-55 its $50 four-year scholar
ships.
These scholarships, available
equally to high school seniors in
any of the 88 Ohio counties, pro-
vide for remission of the incidental
fee for the students for four years,
valued at $40. Assistance also is
provided by the university in en-
abling the student to find part
time employment.
The university instituted pro-
gram of scholarship aid for stud
ents studying elementary education
a number of years ago. Initially a
total of SO scholarships were made
available on the basis of one to
each county. Last year the num-
Der was increased to $50 because
of a continued shortage of elemen-
tary school teachers.
Application blanks for the
scholarships may be obtained by
writing to DR.. Bland L. Stradley,

versity and chairman of the schol-
arship committee.
