Austin, Texas, May 1s.--The State Tax
Collectors association held It's second an
nual meeting here today for the purpose
of perfecting organization adopting con
stitution and bylaws and of discussing
matters relative to the modus operandi of
gathering State and county revenues. The
attendance was small owing to the fact
that many of the members were detained
at home to look after approaching pri-
maries.
The main points discussed were the APP
plication of the new fee bill, the disparity
in rates in the fiscal division of the tax

incidental to the collection of occupation
taxes.

president and Collector Kirk Of Austin was
