The Trustees Have Secured Prof. Bowsen
For the c. r. c. Academy.

After some disappointment and delay
the trustees of the Columbia River Con-
ference Academy at this place have
been fortunate enough to secure the
services of Prof. w. Bowsen, A. NJ, late
president of Albuquerque college, N. NJ.
lie has had several years of experience
as president Of high schools and col
leges. and has made his mark in educa-
tional circles. Those who know him
say that he loves school work, and that
it may be said to be bis passion, and
they unhesltatingly pronounce him an
educator of high order. He is repre-
sented as doing thorough work and pos
sessing fine administrative ability.
Under the guidance of such nan it is
possible for Camas prairie 10 have
school equal to any in the northwest.
Prof. Bowsen is expected to arrive in
about two weeks.

of some horses. Water in the streams
is low, but not so low rs to interfere

Our late visitors. Messrs Weller, For

hunting in the Loon lake region and
boast of many aquatic and piscatorial

none but the loftiest topics during his

holes in it through which cat of ambi-

ABOUT RED UCING TAXES.

Petitions are circulating ask.
ing the commissioners to make
a horizontal reduction Of
twenty-five per cent. on al
taxable property in Idaho
county, as shown by the as
sesment roll for the current
year. We drafted one of these
petitions and signed it, but
since doing so, we have looked
up the statutes and are re-
luctantly compelled to admit
that the movement is crronc-
Gus and cannot be supported
in law.
The assessor is required by
statute, to assess, "at its full
value" all property, both real
and personal, in his county.
After the assessment roll is
completed, it is turned over to
the commissioners Of the coun-
ty, who, on the fourth Mon
day in August of each year,
sit as a Board Of Equalization.
This Board sits as a quasi court,
and any one who deems him.
self aggrieved, may appear be-
fore it and set forth his COM
plant. This complaint must
be in writing, and sworn to,
and the complaint must show,
by clear and satisfactory evil
dence, that his property has
been assessed at more than "its
full cash value"
This Board is of. limited
jurisdiction; its powers are
clearly defined, and it must
rigidly follow the statutes.
Sections l477, 8 and 8, pro-
vide as follows:
SEC. 1477. No reduction must be
made In the valuation Of property unless
sbe party affected thereby. or his agent,
lnakes and dies with the Board written
application therefor, verified by his
oath, showing the facts upon which 1t is
claimed such reduction should be made.
SEC. 1873. Before the Board grants
the application or makes any reduction
applied for. it must first examine, on
oath, the person or agent making the
application touching the value Of the
property Of such person. No reduction
must be made; unless such person or the
agent making the application attends
and answers all questions pertinent to
the inquiry.
SEc. 1879. Upon the hearing of the
application the Board may subpoena
such witnesses, hear and take such evil
.lsnce in relation to the subject pending
a. In it's discretion it may deem proper.
These sections governing
our Board of Equalization are
identical with, and are taken
from the code of California,
where the question Of a hori-
zontal reduction, such as Is
being petitioned for here, has
been tried in the courts and
numerous adverse decisions
are on record against it. 1t is
unfortunate that it is so, be-
cause the payment of taxes
this year is a greater hardship
than ever, and doubly so from
the fact that at the time the
assessment was made the pros
pect for good crops and pros
porous year was never better,
and the assessment was con-
siderably increased. The forms
of law, however, must be OBJ
served, and no law-abidlng
citizen desires the Board of
Equalization to usurp func-
tions which do not belong to
it. Under our statutes no re-
lief is provided, and so we
must make the best of it.
