| v _WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1927 HOUSE KILLS | BILL TO TAKE — | LICENSE FEES | (Continued from page one) 1,200 miles of grading and 900 miles of graveling already have been asked by the county commissioners for construction next year. Even with its present income, he said, the de partment is planning only 500 mil each of grading and graveling. Would Reduce Road Program Since state expenditures are bal- anced by an equal amount of fed- eral aid money, Lynch said, the re- sult of the bill would be to reduce the road program $1,520,000 during the next two years. Every county in the state has numerous requests for roads on file with the highway department, Lynch said, and warned the members that if they voted for the transfer of funds they will be held accountable by their constituents. The president has recommended to congress with- drawal of the federal aid money, he said, and advised that North Dakota make use of it while it is available. By their vote on the two-cent gaso- line tax the people showed that they are sold on the idea of good roads, Lynch said, and charged that diver- sion of the money would be in di- rect opposition to the mandate of the people as expressed in the vote on the gasoline tax. Fred Ferris, Nelson county, said he had been advised by his county commissioners that they object to the bill and would oppose it for that reason, Defending the plan advanced by the appropriations committee, L. L. Twichell, Cass county, majority floor leader, said the diversion of money would not stop or even hamper the construction of federal aid roads and advanced figures to show that even without the addi- tional money the highway depart- ment income would be sufficient to mect av all the federal ilable. Twichell’s Claint Twichell said the people who voted for the two-cent gasoline tax did] not have in mind the fact that the highway department already was get-| ting, $650,000/a year from the auto-| mobile license de ed out that if the yw | out that if the money were left in| the highway fund the highwa partment will have more money to spend than the entire amount ap- propriated by the legislature at this session. The figure, he said, would) be in excess of $8,000,000 for the, next two years. | He estimate $3,000,000 from the} gasoline tax, $1,400,000 from auto- mobile license fees, $2,500,000 in fed- eral aid and additional appropria- tions made by the legislature for the operation of the highway department and the state bridge fund. The people, Twichell said, were not well advised’ when they passed the two-cent gasoline tax law and so] arranged matters that the |egisla-| ture will have no control of the money. The federal aid money aid money ring costs ause the state highway depart- ment “loads” most of the engincer- ing charges onto the federal The reason, he said, is that the federal government permits _ engineering charges up to 10 per cent of the total cost of any project. The plan offered by the ment, he said, contemp the penditure of $200 a‘mile each year for maintenance costs whereas two years ago the maintenance charge only 70 cents a mile, The main- ice expenditure has been loaded, id, to use up the money which will not be needed to meet the fed- eral aid apportionment. The der two Twichell sai the counties should be reli share of the cost of building roads when the funds of the highway department were intreased. He charged that the two-cent gaso- line tax was “foisted” upon the people by-highway department. prop- nda in an effort to rid itself of legislative control and that the high- way department has been running unbridled and spending state money without any semblance of control. No one opposed the two-cent gaso- line tax, he said, because it was popular the people. He explained that he was managing the Independ- ent campaign at the time it was be- considered and did nothing re- rding it, although he would have opposed it had it not been for the fact that he was otherwise engaged. Commenting on the charge that the bill would “loot” the highway de- partment, Twichell said the highway fund as conceived by the people is the money received. from the gaso- line tax and knew nothing about the money received from automo- bile licenses. Would Exceed Rights HH. F. Swett, Kidder county the ‘people had only one thing in mind when they approved the two- cent gasoline tax and that was their willingness to tax themselves for good roads. The legislature, he said, has no right to divert the money and alleged that the term “loot” was the only one applicable. Watt contended that the people were not informed when they voted for the two-cent gas e tax, that they were propagandized by the highway department and had no chance to resist the proposal. The question, he said, is either to slow up on road building and give the state institutions the money. they need or let the highway department continue uncurbed at the expense of other state departments and institu- tions. The legislature,” he said, should endeavor to take care of ali the needs of the state, giving the real needs of all departments as much penaideration as possible. Thompson, Burleigh county, pol tae out that surveys for 1,100 miles of road have already been com- pleted and. suggested that the sur- veyors could be let off until the de- partment caught up with the work already before it. The highway de- partment, he said, reminded him of a team of young horses which his farm hand had ‘hitched up. The man, he said, forgot to keep hold of the lines and the “inevitable hap- pened.’ A motion, by Swett that the bill be recommended for passage with- out the amendment carried, 43 to 41. When the committee of the whole reported to the house in formal session the fight broke out anew and the matter was argued all over again. Watt attempted to reject the committee of the whole report and to amend the bill suggested b; his committee. A_ roll-call vote de feated Watt's motion, 48 to 60. Senate Ma; Amendment A.movement was said to be under way, however, whereby the senate will amend the house measure relat- ing to the distribution of license tag money and put into it the amendment offered by the house appropriations committee which the house rejected riers ois A if this effort proves succes: t Soasnee it tegarded as un- depart- ago, ap: rove any bill pi ing for tran: fer of highway troney: for other pyr: {one who questi said | Sey Remember the Maine!
