Excerpt from The Bulletin of the National Tax Association, 1918-1919, Vol. 4 As time draws near the need is urgent for giving serious attention to the appoint ment of delegates to the St. Louis Confer ence. The strenuous demands of political campaigns, coupled with the almost contin uous exertions of the State Executives in connection with troop movements and other activities occasioned by the war, have doubtless prevented attention to this matter. It is now vitally necessary that action should be taken and members should see to it that suitable delegates are appointed. This may readily be accomplished with a little perseverance. At no time in the nation's history has it been more important that the states should take counsel together towards perfecting their revenues and protecting their sources of taxation. Every reason exists for hav ing a thoroughly representative body of official delegates in attendance at this Con ference.
