Lord of Detroit, Mich, secretary of

the formation of national organiza-

81 believe national association Of
this character" he said. holding an
nual conventions, would do more than
any other agency could do toward a
solution of the vexed tax problem with
which many If not all of the states
are confronted,
The trouble without tax system is
not so much statutory as admnistra-
tive. No state, | think is suffering to
a great extent because of too little
tax legislation 1t is not new tax legis-
lation that We most want, but sim
pliication of the laws we already
have and improved me5hods or their
administration.
In nearly every state we find the
tax doctor who, whenever any tax
III appears to him. runs to the legisla
ture for remedy. The result is tina,
we are almost constantly enactine
new tax legislation, which becomes
more and more confusing to the tax
paying people The influences OF a
national association of tax officers
would surely work for improvement
In such conditions"

There is no question" he said
that these meetings OF taxing on.
