This bill creates the office county tax collector, provid ing the method of appointment and compensation, defining his duties, relieving the office Of sher iff from partlctpatioBiBtbe col lection of taxes, and embracing all counties in the state having a pop ulation of less than 100,000. Just how this measure can be harmonized with the careful! outlined program Introduced by Mr. Carkln Tuesday remains to be seen. Whether or not it Is just a smoke screen erected to confuse the Issue, or whether It is another companion bill to the Norton In come tax is. something that many members are trying to figure out Undoubtedly the features ot these bills will get a great deal of at tention when the tax program comes up, however, it is agreed.
