BACK WEIGHT-MILE FOR
HIGHWAY FINANCING

Stating 1--WE believe that the fair
est method of taxing trucks is sys-
tenn based on weight carried and
distance travelled" the convention
went on record in support of a high
way revenue-measure similar to the
highly successful Oregon weight-mile
law.
Continued opposition was ex-
pressed to any attempts to withdraw
the tax exemptions of fuel used for
non-highway purposes.
The convention also endorsed the
principle of greater federal participa-
ton in meeting highway financing
requirements.
On farm-to-market roads, greater
federal assistance was asked. Also,
distribution of some of the road tax
money collected by the state to as
sist counties in meeting this diff
cult problem"
