TURNS OUT THIRTY EMPLOYEES


Thirty employees OF the state tax
commission and board OF railroad as
SCISSORS lost their positions March 81
II Is reported that the reduction In
the number OF clerks was not wholly
voluntary on the part Of the commits
sion.
At the last session OF the legisla'
ture the tax commission law was
amended so as TO provide for the en-
ployment OF only ten clerks. When
the law went into effect the commits
sion. which is also the board OF rail-
way assessors. retained ten clerks for
the tax commission and turned the re-
mainder over TO themselves as board
OF railway assessors. about which the
law was silent.
There has been considerable doubt
whether the board could do indirectly
what II could not do directly. and u
was finally decided that II was the
intent OF the law that the limit OF ten
clerks fixed by the law must apply TO
the state board OF railway assessors
as well as TO the state tax commits.
