Sandvig. | THE HIGHWAY AMENDMENT MinotgN. Dak., Feb, 14, 1924. Editor, The Tribun In the Grand Forks Herald Mail Bag on the editorial page under date of Feb. 12, 1924 is a letter by Mr, R. E. ‘Hatt of Orr, N. Dak. giving some very extravagant figures and ideas purporting to be true and accurate, | as fgainst the wisdom’ of in the measure for the Highway €ommission different from what we now have, and petitions which, he says, the state being “flooded,” and I take it from reading his letter he is opposed to it to a considerable extent and gives figures to show that we would be compelled | to raise $3,080,000.00. He sun i this way. By doubling the | bile license fee, would give appro mately $1,500,000.00. He then claims that the balance, or $1,580,000.00 would have to be raised by direct taxation. First, I will try to show that his sum total of $3,080,000.00 is too high, which he classifies as follows: Amount required to meet Federal Aid - « -$1,600,000.00 Amount required for maintainance ........ Amount required for state line bridges Ry Administration of Motor Vehicle Registration and Highway Depart- ment Amount fund the 10% to the counties advanced by them to meet Federal Aid to date is 450,000.00 130,000.00 250,000.00 650,000.00 Making a total as stat. eq above . «$3,080,000, I received the following figur from one of the Federa} Enginee and two of the State Highway En-! gineers: Our apportionment Federal Aid, 1924 Maintainance 19: 7000.00) 1924 State line bridg Administration both partments 10% refund to counties. Tetal 2,180,000.00 These figures indicate nearly a mil- lion dollars less than Mr. Hatt But we will lay these differences aside for the moment and have Mr, Hatt tell us, where and when the Federal Aid Act compels us to raise one cent of tax, ‘ I find in reading over the Act; that it provides an apportionnient to each state for each yeat, and any portion. not used by such state, is reapportioned to all the states on the same basis as is the prior appor- tionment, I can find nothing in the Act, nor in the Amendments that says a state must use all of their apportionment, but it does that a state that doas not use all of its apportionment, that they will lose what they do not use, because it will be given to alt the states in reapportionment. But I would like to have you di- gest these statements of Mr. Hatt.! that Grand Forks | pays about 5% of the taxes of the state, which amounts to $75,000.00, and his county has spent approxi- mately $75,000.00 to meet / Federal Aid, and the 10% refund would give his county $7,500.00 per year for tei years. He says Grand Forks county at present pays $43,000.00 Auto li- censey,and which would be doubled if the new law is enacted, making $85,000.00 per year, or for a period of ten yenrs, would amtount to $850,- 000.00. Now to this he adds the (his) required tax levy of $75,000.00 per year for ten years, totaling $750,- 000.00 in all making a grand’ total of $1,600,000.00_ hen he adds, “‘this 00 of -$1,300,000.00 150,000.00 on 130,000.00 de- 150,000.00 450,000.00 looks like a long price to pay for rebate of $75,000.00." Well, Mr. Hatt, I agree with you, that it would be a long price, and the highest qual- ity of poor business for your county to pay $1,600,000.00 for $75,000.00. On the other hand I think folks would call the present Highway Commission pretty gogd financiers, if they ‘could induce the counties to trade $1,600,000,00 for a paltry $75,- 000.00, Does not his figures and line of argument sound ridiculous and misleading? 6 the casual reader possibly they sound’ plausible, und possibly they are taken for granted as correct-by many. It is this fear that is prompting me to write. this letter. Mr. Hatt further states that “they” Propose raising the gas tax one cent per gallon, which amounts to about. amount is goes, this $350,000.00 will I do not know who he means time when the cry is, like that But I will say ‘that I believe the Leg- pay more attention! , tection. formed, but it is ~ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE slature wjll put lc or possibly 2c per.gallon additional tax on\gasoline used in motor ‘vehicles, to be used by the Highway Commission in the con- struction and reconstruction and maintainance of highw: the same as most of the other states are do- ing, as it is conceded by nearly one, that that is a just and equitable tax, as paying a near pro- portionate amount to the number of miles you see the highway Mr. Hatt suggests that you read section 3 of the article carefully, and calls to your attention section 6 of the Act, and quotes it as follows. “Federal Aid Road Act, section 6, says before any projects are approved in any state, such state, through its highway department shall select a system of highways not to exceed 7%, of the total highway mileage of such states as shown by the records of state Highway Department at the time of the passage of this act.” Now please notice his wording— Upon this system all—(please note the meaning of the word, all) Fed- eral Aid apportionments shall be ex- pended. "Tf Mr, Hatt can find the world “all” in section 6 of the Act, he can read better than I can, as I am ‘unable to find the word in the section, In fact Mr, Hatt’s expres- sion is erroneous and is misleading any who read his Igtter. I se suggest that you read all the ons in the Initiation Measure proposed in the petition, and read all on the e, and read it several times so you will be sure to have it right. My personal view that the measure is 2 good one and should become law, for several reason ‘st, it would create a State: High- way Commission whose whole per. sonnel could not be changed in its entirety every two years at the will and whim of one man, namely, the Governor elect. I think the organi- zation is too important, and n Ss too much to the State to be left in that jeopardizing position. Secondly, The Bureau of Public Roads desi a censtituted body with which th an deal direct, on the construction, reconstruction — and maintainance of the 7% system of s without being held up by s, thereby causing a gap in a i state or Nationad high At present some counties won't, some can’t for financial reason some are indifferent, and icauses added together make « -[stacle hard to overcome for the best Bureau of working interests of the Public Roads, the State Highway Commission and the traveling pub- lig as a whole. As for providing funds for the Highway Commission to work with, very little ch would have to be made in the prese the counties about as much or more than they now get through the re- fund of a portion of the auto tax, and with the legislature gallon gas tax, the commission could function very nicely until the people felt that they wanted a greater ¢ penditure on highways. I understand that North Dakota desires of the Bureau.

Under thi e@ measure the Highwa: at for Com- each dollar with an additional dollar of Federal Aid. But here I will state, I am opposeq to a Bond Issue at any time. I particularly wish to call your attention to the fact that the Highway Commission would be gov- erned by laws enacted by the Legi lature at all times and in all cases as provided in section 3 of the pro- posed gmendment. T misleading statement was made at a meeting last week in Grand Forks that if this Initiative measure was enacted into law by the people, the Highway Commission would. be a body of Czars, subject to nobody, not even to Legislature nor the Governor. This statement is ridiculous, as section 3 provides that the commission shall be gov- erned by law, and I further wish to emphasize the fact_that this mea- sure, does not necessitate the ex- unless the Legislature provides the funds, and tle people demand it. —Ormanzo A, Brown, Dickinson, ‘ PF N.
