Strong pleas for reforms in tax meth
DDS were made by several tax experts at
the first annual conference in the Assem-
bly, Chamber at the State House yester-
day of the tax officials of the state. The
meeting was the first of it's kind ever
held in this state and was under the au-
spices of the State Board of Taxes and
Assessment. There was an address by
Governor Fielder and speeches on tax
questions by men well known all over the
state for their work in tax matters.
NO function of government so vitality

as he welcomed the delegates. Governor
Fielder declared there was need of re
form in the taxing of personal property,
and also said he was glad to find the pre-

dition to the magnificent gold trophy,

and cash bonuses for individual lap
leaders. A hfty-mile race for non-place
winners 70 follow will enable the sec
ond-string men and any Of the stars
that failed in the main event 70 recoup
their fortunes.
Practice yesterday afternoon showed
that the drivers were getting ready for
a terrific pace. Dario Resta, who must
defend his championship nonors In Sat
urday's race, was clicked for several
laps. which he travelled at a speed Of
liz miles an hour. Even this did not
suit him, for he has ordered a change
in the valve timing Of his car.
Rickenbacher was satisfied 20 tear
around at a l06-mile speed. One-haif
of the entrants were on the course at

Levinsky had whatever advantage
there was in every round except the

ability TO take repeated punches with
out apparent loss of strength. Dillon
seemed to lack his usual aggressive
ness, while Levinsky added to his
usual strong defence an offensive that
was compelling.
