the tax commission is trying to work
out for Iowa follows the thought of
the )Des Moines plan of municipal
government In centralizing respons-
Utility in as few people as possible
said B. e. Stonebraker, member Of

is to make the state tax commission
absolute and final In all tax matters.
Our plae calls for county assessor
who shall be responsible for the ac-
tions of all local assessors and who
shall sit as q board of review on the
assessments fixed by the local men.
But the proposed state tax commits
sion is to be given power to compel
the county board OF review to re-
convene at any time and lower or
raise the assessments OF a particular
county or class of property accord
ing to the dictates and Judgment of
the state commission. The proposed
commission will also have power to
inquire into the system Of accounting
Of public funds of cities. towns and
counties in this state"
