Notes and Comment Clip
ped from Ex'es.

How goes the college? is the burn
ing question of the day and hour.
1t is hard to tell from the present
situation just how the matter will
turn out. johnson has introduced
his senate bill locating the college at
Weiser, and we are now leading
Idaho Falls; but Payette and Nampa
have each introduced bills and put
in claims for the institution, which
may be successful in splitting up the
vote in favor of south western Idaho
just sufficiently to let Idaho Falls in.
But at present we have much more
strength than either Payette or
Nampa. Last Friday representatives
Miller, of Ada county; Merrill, OF
Boise; Bangs, Hopper and Anderson
of Latah McCarty, of Custer; Alling-
ton, of Owyhee and Yearian, OF
Lemhi, came down to Weiser to look
at the country. They were driven
around to the different sites that
have been selected and expressed
themselves extremely well pleased
with the place. In the evening a
social dance was given in their honor
at GOWNS opera house, the best peo-
pie in town being present. Saturday
afternoon three hacks from Payettt
arrived and took the delegation tx
that place. While here one of thu
members, after looking at the Weise
river, said, elf that ungodly liar
who was at Boise and told me on
could kick up dust in that river be-

taxation for the next two years, or
about $165, 900 per year. Such un-
usual expeditures as the additional
appropriation for the Worlds Fair,
etc., by the present Legislature we
recommend to be paid from money
borrowed on 20-year 5 per cent. bonds
for such purposes.
The assessed valuation of the state
in 1892 was. $31, 100, 600. We
estimate that this will increase 10
per cent. in 1898, which will make
the assessment for that year S34, 276-
600. To raise the estimated expenses
for the year 1893 (s165, ,O00) upon
this assessment, will require levy
of about 48 cents on the 800 and
we recommend that the state tax levy
be reduced from 50 cents to So cents,
which will allow for probable delin-
ouent taxes. The total bonded debt
of the state is $251, 600. We
!, recommend that the maximum
county levy be limited by law to 100
or 175 cents on the 800. We
believe that the present system Of
low valuations and high rate Of
. taxation is working great injury to
our state by preventing investmen
of capital, and we recommend sucl
|, legislature as will tend to a reduction
of the tax rate to, at most, 2 pc
cent for both state and county taxes
!, We do not recommend any increased
= appropriation for the militia. Th
II estimate for interest on state warrant
It in this report is based on rate Of
a per cent. Should the present rate o
= 10 per cent. continue $4,000 shoul
be added to this item. All warrant
can be paid, we, think, by Feb. 20
