Wright said the state was net performing the funetions the con stitution intended it should have, especially those of fully maintain ing ‘the schools, the public health and all ronds—whether state ot county. Jle said he did not be lieve in the elimination of all ad valorem taxes and that if the state took over {its “proper’ functions, some tax on real estate would be necessary. : “We have reach&z the time, said Pierce, “when there should be some other method of taxation then we now have.
