SHOULD WIPE OUT
BACK TAX SYSTEM


Abolition of the back tax system
was advocated by Gov. Aft Taylor
Monday in a special message to the
general assembly upon its reconven-
ing after a three-weeks' recess. He
was brief in his opinion on the mat
ter, but sufficiently clear as to be
understood as uncompromisingly
against the present system and it's
attendant evils.
Gov. Taylor said that the legisla-
ture should wipe out the abominable
back tax system now in vogue to
plague US" and advocating putting
the collection of delinquent taxes in
the hands Of county officials under
the supervision Of the central tax
commission.
Gov. Taylor in his message offered
suggestions as to the best methods
for deriving more state revenue and
saving money in the operation Of the
state government.
Gov. Taylor suggested eight meth
DDS by which money can be saved to
the state. He urged the creation of
central tax commission as outlined
in his first message to the legisla-
ture, favored the cutting of the rail-
road commission to one member,
highway commission in a like man
ner, and asked that the state police
be eliminated.
He advocated making the state
food and drugs department a bureau
Of the health department; the fire
prevention department a bureau of
the insurance department, and COM
bining the horticultural activities with
that of the division of entomology
under the agricultural department.
He said that all allied depart
ments and bureaus sould be CO.
ordaired. He urged that there be
the following departments: Educa-
ton, agriculture, insurance, health,
prison, charitable institutions, labor,
geology and forestry. Each depart
ment should have an executive head
in the person of a secretary, who
should be under the supervision of
the governor, to whom he should
make all reports.
The joint committee having in
charge the inquiry into back-tax
conditions reported that it had been
unable to complete it's report fol-
lowing its investigation, but would
be ready to report in a few DAYS.
The committees report, it was
stated, would contain recommends
tions as to legislation to improve
hoc1x tov conditions ond XuouId IN
dude a number of bills drafted by a
special subcommittee covering
changes proposed.
