New AK Survey
Bill Is Attacked

PHOENIX, Ariz., Mar. q. U.P0
Senator w. B. Kelly of Stafford
has attacked the provisions OF the
administration tax survey bill,
passed by the legislature and sign
ed by Governor George w, P. Hunt,
to repeal House Bill 127, the pre-
sent tax law.
Terming the tax survey as a 'le-
gislative monstrosity," Sen. Kelly
charged it was IAN outrageous pro-
cedure and is an expensive method"
of gathering the valuations of tan
gible and intangible tax properties
in Arizona.
He enumerated the component
parts of the bill and declared the
taxation machinery Of the state
would consist of a special tax sur
vey commission; special tax sur
veyor general; a permanent tax sur
vey board; a county board of tax
survey; a state tax commission;
a state board of equalization; g
county board of equalization and a
county assessor"
1T is proposed" he said, ito set
up all kinds of new machinery,
boards, commissions and officers,
but in setting them all up, there
was no attempt to take down any
part Of the present tax machinery.
During the year 1888, under pro-
visions of this bill, the county as
SCISSOR, the county boards of equal
ization and the state tax commits
sion, as we'll as the permanent tax
survey board may as we'll go fish
ing.
They won't have anything to do
except to obey orders handed down
by the special tax survey commits
sion executed by the tax surveyor
general"
Under provisions of the bill, $780,
900 is appropriated for an economic
and scientific survey of all taxable
properties in the state. Unless re-
ferendum is filed against the mea-
sure it will become a law in June.
