be seen that Governor Pierce had
considerable help in his tax reduc
tion campaign up to this point.
Where Governor Pierce made a
killing was in controlling the state
levying board in 1924, when th«
board refused to levy sufficient
tax to support the state govern
ment, planning by that action to
force the legislature to enact
special taxation measures.
Thus
far Pierce was successful, the legis
lature did provide the special tax
ation measures and Governor Pierce
might have been able to point to a
real reduction in taxation had he |

law taking 10 per cent of fees

Governor Pierce lost, by his own
cost, u real opportunity to show a
reduction in property taxes.
For next, voar the state tax will
have to be increased to take care
of th? deficit for this year, with
the result that when Governor

agreed to cut in half, will be high
