ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 30, 1914.
Lewis II. Machen of this city, who
was recently appointed director of the
legislative reference bureau of the
state. expects to shortly wind UP his
affairs in Alexandria and move 10
Richmond. Mr. Machen for several
years has conducted law Office in this
city.
Although Mr.. Machen will not take
Office until July l he is busily engaged
in the work of preparing data for his
new office. He plans to visit such near
by states as have Legislative reference
bureaus, or where the legislatures are
in session, especially New York, Penn
sylvania and Maryland. He may, he
says, also visit Wisconsin, where there
is a legislative bureau which has been
highly successful
Speaking of his new position MIR.
Machen says: Il take it that the first
information the bureau will be called
on to furnish will be in regard to tax
laws and subjects properly coming be-
fore the extra session of the general
assembly.
Bureaus First Duty.
las l now see it it seems to me to be
the first duty of the bureau to collect
copies of the tax laws of all of the states
and compile and compare them, giving In
available form a brief statement OF the
general systems of taxation in ali of the
states. There are, of course books on
this subject which are more or less up
to-date, but the bureau should be in a
position to furnish the tax commission
with actual copies of the present laws IN
all of the states. together with such in
formation as is obtainable as to the WORK
ing of the various systems
LAS the department is a new one, WITH
out precedent in Virginia, it Will, OF
course take time to effect an organiza-
ton and begin to gather and make avali,
able the information which 1t IS deslreo
that the bureau shall have at hand. i
am not ready yet to announce more def
mite plans, as l hope to give some time to
the study of similar bureaus i'll other
states before assuming ONCE.
