One of the main features Of the re-
port Of the non-partisan Tax Com
mission Of 1901, was the recommen-
dalton to create the office Of State
Tax Commissioners. Acting on this
recommendation, the Legislature Of
1904 created that office. 1t is his
duty to. see that the laws regulating
the assessment Of property and the
collection Of revenue are faithfully
enforced. At the time the office was
created the Democratic leaders made
the charge that it was simply an Of
nee created for the purpose Of fur
ntshtng employment to persons in re-
ward or political services rendered :.
No State in the American Union,
which has a we'll regulated tax sys-
tenn, attempts to enforce its revenue
lays or its tax laws without either
tax commissioner or a tax commits
sion. Some states have single tax
commissioner; others have tax COM
| missions consisting Of from three to
| five members. If there is q depart
ment' Of the State government which
needs ar official head it is certainly
| the tax system
| AS an example Of the progress the
states are making along this line, it
ts only necessary to call attention to

censeA from $500 to 5000 annually,
and on manufacturing beer from 7h
cents to IS centsra barrel. Fhts bill
was passed during the closing days
Of the Legislature, and through the
|filibustering Of the Democratic mem
bers of the House the bill did not go
into effect from it's passage, as it
should have done, but went into eff
feet on May %, 1907. The Demo-
cratic members Of the House pre-
vented this bill from taking effect
from its passage for the purpose of
embarrassing the State administra-
ton. At that time the license year
began May 1st. This bill went into
effect May 23rd. The Tax Depart
ment~ took the position that on the
23rd Of May, when the new law went
into effect, that it operated upon ev-
cry license in the State, notwith-
standing the fact that they had al
ready been granted at the rate Of
$500 year, and that from May %,
1907, to April 80, 1908, or the re-
mainder Of the license tax year, each
retail liquor dealer should pay at
the rate of $500 year. To test this
ruling Of the Department, suit was
instituted in Kanawha County Cir
cult Court against Walker, Lawrence
&c Company. The Circuit Court Of
Kanawha County sustained the De-
partment In it's rulings. The case
was carried to the Supreme Court,
but never decided by that court, for
the reason that before the Court was
ready to decide every liquor dealer
in the State had accepted the Depart
ment's ruling. As a result Of this
there was paid into the State Treas
ury, $106,977.51. Since the Tax
Department was created in 1904 down
to and including August, 1910, 1T has
cost the people Of the State $110,425.85.
Therefore, it IS seen that as q result
Of this single law suit there was
enough money paid into the State
Treasury to practically run the office
since its creation in 1904 down to
the present time. If the Department
| had never done anything else except
| try this single suit. it would so far
cost the people Of the State only 3d.
