Described during debate as "a

cerned with is not giving jobs to a

MORE POWER DENIED

Taking the view that the state
board of tax commissioners already

representatives defeated, 81 to 4S, a
bill designed to give the board tax
leVeling authority within several

Under the present law the board

ernmental units such as the town
ships, cities and towns.

Democratic Leaders Warn
House Platform Must
Be Adhered To.

Preparations were being made to-
day by the Democratic members of
the house to so amend the fees and
salaries bill at a caucus Monday
night that it would be equalized and
meet with approval of all members.
Attempts to bolt this platform
measure we're nipped in the bud at
q caucus late Friday when party
leaders declared that no insurgency
on the measure would be tolerated.
In order to make the bill fair
where it applies to counties not
having Democratic representation,
Earl Crawford (Union and Wayne),
caucus chairman, was instructed to
appoint a committee of three to
confer with the Republican minority
as to it's views regarding the
salaries.
Democratic state headquarters
was scored indirectly by Floor
Leader DELPHI McKesson (AIarshalD
for delaying the introduction Of the
measures until last Monday.
Recalls Platform Pledge
McKesson declared that county
officials had no right to protest the
passage of this measure because it
was pledged in the platform and
they knew full well that an attempt
would be made to pass the bill.
"In many counties officials are
getting unnecessarily high fees.
They are not getting rich on the
salaries, but the fees" he declared.
Under this bill the fees go into
the treasury of the county. In
some counties these figures range
between $4,000 and $4,000 in one
Office.
1--WE must carry out our pledge or
we can not face the people in 1892
and the county officials should know
this.
For some reason unknown, we
did not get the bill as we should,
early in the session. If we delay
its passage there will be persons
who said we never intended to en-
act such a measure.
This is a Democratic house and
the bill must pass"
Similar Bill Died
IF you didn't want to pass this
bill, it should not have been in the
platform" he declared as he de-
scribed how two years ago the Re-
publican majority introduced such
bill in the closing days of the ses-
sion and then let it die in COM
mittee.
Representatives John M. Cantley
| (Cass), William E. Wilson (7ancock
and MadiSon) and several others
told of the inequalities of the bill.
But upon the decision to iron these
out at the Monday night caucus,
