TAX BOARD
OPPOSED
ATTEMPT TO ABOLISH COM
MISSION MAY BE
MADE.
Proposed to Combine Work With
that of Railroad Board if Tax
Amendment Should Fail of
Adoption - Railroad Commits
sioners Oppose Such Action.

(. Olympia, Oct 27.-An attempt in
the next legislature to abolish the tax
commission is being seriously talked OF
in several counties of the state, the
plan being to transfer the duties of the
tax commission to the railway commits
sion.
The effort to create sentiment in this
direction, it is said, will not probably
take definite form until after election.
At that time the fate will be known of
the constitutional amendment, submit
ted by the last legislature at the sug-
gestion of the tax commission.
If the vote is against the amendment
the arguments for the abolishing of
the commission can be made stronger,
as the adoption of the amendment
would mean such a change in taxing
methods that the guidance and direc-
ton of commission would be almost
necessary.
The combining of the work Of the
two commissions will be opposed by
the railway commission, particularly
if the legislature carries out the recon-
mendation of the Republican state plat
form and converts the railway commits
sion into public service commission
similar to that of New York. In the
latter event the railway commission
would have it's hands full without the
added burdens of taxation matters
Much Criticism Expressed
The movement to abolish the tax
commission finds it's impetus largely in
dissatisfaction in many counties over
the new method Of equaliizng state
taxes devised by the state tax commits
sion and adopted by the state board of
equalization.
The total state taxes to be raised by
this years levy will be $246, 326 less
than last year, yet the state taxes Of
thirteen counties have been raised.
These counties are Chelan, Clallam,
Chehalis. Franklin, Kittitas, Lewis,
Mason, Pacific, Pierce, Skagit, Skama-
MIA, Thurston, and Wahkiakum.
Pierce county stood raise of $685.
$50, Chehalis $40, 900 and the others
in varying amounts, while King coun-
ty got a reduction Of $21 5, 600 and Spo-
kane county reduction of $11, 400
The tax commission, however, claims
that the old method, and not the new
one, was unfair.
In this connection they are support
ed by J. G. Lawrence of the railway
commission, who, though publicly OPP
posing the tax commissions proposed
constitutional amendment, expresses
the opinion that the state could not
afford to do without the tax commits
sion. He favors retaining the commits
sion regardless of the fate of the
amendment
One Commission Enough
The principal argument in support
of repeating the law creating the tax
commission is that the railway and tax
commissions principal work has been
in laying the foundation for future
proceedings that will not be arduous
in comparison; and that one commits
sion, after this year, can do all the
work and save the money biennially
voted for the fax commission
