The Iowa Tax Commission filed recommendations with Governor Carroll proposing a permanent body, elected county assessors, separation of state and local revenues, and reform of property valuation to actual value. A bill would remodel tax laws, creating a three member commission with salaries up to 4600 dollars, and annual costs around 18200 dollars plus travel. County assessors would gain powers, with workers hired as needed and duties transferring from auditors. The plan requires a constitutional amendment for revenue separation and would mean state taxes focus on public utilities while counties set their own assessments. The commission would oversee levies, collections, prosecutions of tax dodging, and hear complaints. Members include Cohen, Ripley, Stonebreaker, McConlogue, and Voss with Brindley as secretary.
