TOWNSEND SAYS iTHA
CORPORATIONS profit
TAX SYSTEM IS CHANGED
ANOTHER CONVINCING sRoU.,
MENT IS WRITTEN SHOWING
HOW THE INTERESTS Will BE-
BENEFITED. |

CHARLESTON. W.sva., Feb.
Pointing out that tithe corporations witt
most profit by the abolIshment OF Tho
tax commissioners department, Tax
Commissioner Townsend has given
OUT No. 10 OF his series Of articles on
the subject. The article follows: n !.
A number Of the members OF the 4
House of Delegates who voted for the
Lacey bill, abollshing the most impor.s
taat department Of the State govern:
ment, have said to me that they fully
recognized the efficiency OK the tax de-
partment but thought the laws could
be Just as efficiently enforced BY the
auditor. r! q. 53s, y: !:
While the present audltorSis an etIl,
cient man. and knows a great deal
about the taxlaws because Of his con-
nection with the tax department prior
to the time heEwas elected auditor,yet
answer this one question: Were the
tax laws Of the stateias well enforced
prlor,to 1904, when II was the duty d e.
the eudltor to enforce them, as they
have been under the tax dpartment7
The auditor has enough 70 do without
hitching onto his department the en-.
forcement Of the tax laws. = ~ sssfl :5a3sfs
Pertinent Questions. n
Another member OF the Legislature
said to me, the cost the department
would be saved II 1t were run by the
auditor" Has the tax department cost
more money to run than It has saved
to the taxpayers Of the State u BY
the Investment of one talent five VII
be returned, Is economy to fdiHIniss
the servant that brings this about?
For every dollar the; ;lESs siepar tnent.
has expended five have been returned.
Can West Virginia do that which no
state In the Union has been able to
accomplish? The tax system Of every
state that has been; effectively fentofc-t
ed has a tax department. There IS but
on class Of taxpayers that can possibly
be benefited by the abolition Of thes
tax department. and that Is the large
property owner--the corporal lions. a
