Compromise measure is in the making
ami it Is believed the various factions
wiil be able to get together on a bill

administration Income tax measure, is
being used as the bnsls for the com
promise. Amendments have been
drawn Which are said to have the ap
proval of Governor Pierce.
Many bills dealing with assessment
and taxation have been introduced and
ihty are si ill in committee. There are
35 such measures In the hands of the
house committee and 16 in the senate
committee so that In the Joint com
mittee on assessment un' taxation
there ar 51 fills. These Include all
the mt asnr. s Intended to remedy some
of tl." ills of the taxpayer. And more
aro promised.
