The plan of Warren T. McCray. Governor-elect, to put Philip Zoercher off the state board of tax commissioner* after he takes office may meet with opposition from Mr. Zoercher, according to a Democrat!*
attorney-politician today.
"If you will remember," said the attorney, “Mr. Zoercher never showed
a white feather in his deterrmnaricn
to stick by the Republican tax luv# When hi# own Democratic part? was
trying to quiet him. and here’s a tin
from me that he will not do so now. Zoercher is a lawyer of some ability, and he has been appointed by Governor Goodrich to a four-year te>-m. and we doubt the authority of the new Governor to get him off.” The Governor-elect, however, if he decides that there is no legal to get 31 r. Zoercher off the may consider the possibility or g<
t.ng the legislature to empower him to do so. Thus a legislative fight
over the situation is possible. Democrats are having much fun. it is said, as a result of the situation the Republicans find themselves in.
One Democrat said:
’Why should the Republicans try to get Mr. Zoercher off the board? They say they are fer the tax law. and Mr. Zoercher was tfee only member of the board who went out and made speeches and issued statements and wrote letters supporting the law all through the campaign.
