effective that
| 'Tn almost every case Individual
action such az this will not again be
necessary on the part Of succeeding Ad :
ministrations inasmuch ms
manufacturing corporations are now
alive to the requirements of the law"
In other words. Mr.. Snyder had
cleaned up everything in the way of
delinquent taxes.
Hc had paid Lieutenant Governor
Beidleman $4,000 and Assistant Direc-
tor Fcrtig, of the Bureau Of Legislative
Reference, $4,000, to say nothing of
other lawyers over the State who re
ceivcd other thousands for helping to
collect these taxes, to total Of
100000.
In his statement 70 the Reorganiza
tion Commission Mr.. Snyder declared
that there were millions of dollars
yet to be collected in the way of de-
linquent taxes.
Against this assertion there is Audi
tor General Lewis positive declaration
that this claim of Snyder's is absurd
and that Snyder knows II is absurd and
is only seeking to bolster his candidacy
for the govcrnorship.
Because of reckless and involved
bookkeeping, there are vast sums which
Mr.. Snyder himself could not collect,
Notwithstanding his assertion in his
pamphlet that he had cleaned up every
thing when he left the Office of Auditor
General.

condition in the finances of Pennsyl-
