OFFICE OF THE ArroRSEY GENERAL.
Official Busiaess.l
BOISE CITY, Idaho, April IS, 'SS.
To the District Attorneys and assessors of the
Several Counties:
Gentlemen-Your attention is re-
specttully called to the provisions OF
Chapter -Four Of Title Ten of the
Political Code as to the assessment of
property for taxation.
Section l425 expressly requires
that all taxable property shall be as
sessed AT ITS FULL CASH VALUE, and
that Chapter gives ample power to
the Assessor to enable him to ascer-
tain all taxable property in bis county,
while Section 1870 prescribes very
stringent affidavit to be taken by
the taxpayer, and Section 1882 au-
thorizes the Assessor to subpoena and
examine witnesses, so that in most
cases any omission must be "through
his willtul failure or neglect" within
the terms of Section 1867, and sub
lect the Assessor and his sureties to
the penalties of that aud the succeed.
ing sections.
1t is notorious that Assessors in any
counties avowedly assess both real
and personal property, and in some
cases even money and public and
other securities, at forty five or fifty
per cent. of their known ard &C
knowledged cash value. Such course
is i'll direct violation Of the official
duty of Assessors and no such officer
can truthfullY make cath to lis assess.

THURSDAY.
THE REASON WHY.
MAY II, 1896


The Haley TINES for sometime
since February Sth last-has been
putting up New York life insurance
company, the Security Mutual, run
ming two. column ad :, and advising all
to join. ct. E. P,cotte, general agent
for Idaho; J. a. Rupert, agent for
Alturas county," were signed at the
bottom of the advertisement, but last
week these signatures were dropped.
Was it because a resident Of Hal
! lev showed documents that declared
the Security Mutual $4,000 in debt?
bellevue Herald.
The Security Mutual is not in
debt, and cannot be involved in debt,
rs NO ONE MAKES A CENT out OF it.
It is a mutual insurance society mot a
"company'') which offers life insur-
ance at much lower rates than any
other company, association or So
ciety in the world. 1t is at no ex-
pense whatever-not even for rent OF
the home ofIice-as the Agency Sc
curity and Guarantee Company,
which has large capital and is COM
posed of some of the oldest and most
substantial business men OF New
York city, does all its clerical work,
supplies its stationery, etc, FREE OF
CHARGE. No one, either in HALEY or
elsewhere, can therefore declare the
Security Mutual in debt for a single
dollar except for such death losses as
may have occurred since the preceding
assessment. Tho Herald's statement
is therefore false and malicious, and
calculated to injure one Of the most
deserving organizations i'll the world.
The "signatures we're dropped" be-
cause Of the following letter receiv
ed from the Territorial Treasurer:
BOISE CITY, l. T., May l, 1888.
T. E. PIcoTrR HALEY Idaho:
Yours OF the 4th instant at hand.
Before writing you in regard to this
Company | had the opinion of the
Attorney General, Hon. il. Il. john
son, who said that this Insurance
Company could not do business in
i.aho, under our statutes. Mr.. John
son is at present in Omaha; but will
be ba * in about 10 DAYS. And if
y,u have any doubt as to whether
YOU can work lawfully in Idaho, l
would suggest that you correspond
with him in relation to the ma ter.
He is my legal adviser ard did not
write you until had his advice.
Yours truly,
CHARLES HIMRoD,
Territorial. Treasurer.
We might appeal to the courts;
but as the letter of the law (Which
excerpts secret societies) seems to favor
the construction placed upon it by
the gentleman named in the letter,
and as, furthermore, there is "no,hi1g
in it" for US, we simply dropped the
mater.
This need not, however, deter any
man female risks not being accap,ed
from awaiting himself of the cheal est
and surest life insurance to be ha,! in
the world. a letter addressed t. the
home office, or to any of the socie,y's
officials or members in New York or
elsewhere throughout the United
States, will doubtless elicit a prompt
and satisfactory reply. This will be
perfectly safe, because the insurance
laws Of the State of New York
(Which are admitted by lawyers
REAL lawyers, and not shysters-to
be the safes, ana best in the world)
expressly sanction such contracts anil
compel their fulilment.

PENNSYLVANIA TOWN DESTRO YED.
THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE HOMELESS.

THREE HUNDRED HOUSES BURNED-MANY PER-
SONS ESCAPING ONLY IN THEIR NIGHT. CLOTHES.
P1ttsburg, Penn, June 1s-The town Of Dubois,
in the northern lumber region Of Pennsylvania,
was almost wiped out of existence this afternoon
by confiagration. Nearly 300 houses are in
ruins
The fire broke out at 1 o'clock this afternoon
In the Baker House, in Railroadave., in the centre
OF the town. and owing to the high wind blowing
at the time, could not be controlled until it had
destroyed the whole business portion Of the town
and several hundred residences. The loss is put
by insurance agents at 81 900, 900, but this is
likely large estimate and most of the in
surance is written outside of town, the agents who
have placed the most of it cannot be seen to OBJ
tain any figures. An area mile long by an
average Of almost half mile wide, extending from
the Rochester collieries store to the Terpe
House, and to the extreme end Of
Long-st the east side Of town, is
a complete ruin. BlacSened walls and piles of
Goals are all that is left of one of the most pros
porous towns within one hundred miles. Three
thousand people are homeless and destitute to-
night, and in need Of immediate aid, or they must
suffer. The flames spread so rapidly, that many
of them escaped with barely the clothing which
they wore. The origin of the fire could not be
determined. Various causes are given, but the
most plausible is that kitchen flue was defective.
A fire engine came Mt o'clock from Renova, but
by that time the mischief was done and it afforded
little aid. At midnight the fire exhausted itself,
having no more material to work The
insurance is light, as the companies were afraid
Of the wooden buildings of which the town is so
largely built Therefore the losses are largely
without any protection 1t was rumored that one
or two persons had perished, but this story could
not be verified. John Dubois, the lumber king,
it is rumored determined to give 81 90, 900 to the
sufferers
