which was handed him Monday by
Harry P. Davis, foreman. following its
hearing of county officers and numerous
residents of the Joplin community as
we'll as several squatters, who were
brought in for questioning on vagrancy
charges. The report of the grand jury,
disclosed to the board of supervisors

TAXATION PROBE
Conference of State Heads
May Be Called.
By United Press

By Untted Press
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE
whole question of state and local
taxation will be surveyed by PreSi-
dent Herbert Hoover soon after his
return to Washington from his
western trip, it was learned today
from his advisers.
A national conference of state
officials may be called in the fall
to consider a more equitable distri-
button Of the tax burden between
the states and the federal govern
ment.
The President in his Indianap-
oils address said the experiences of
the depression indeed demand that
the nation carefully and deliberate
ly reconsider the whole national
and local problem of the incidence
of taxation"
The expected fall conference Of
the state taxing authorities may
develop o m m e n ito n for
changes in federal law. Some states
are particularly aroused over the
federal road building plan which
requires them to raise half Of road
costs if they are to get their con-
tributiOn from the federal treasury.
