The latest scheme of apportion-
ing to each county the amount OF
money necessary to be raised for
state purposes by taxation is, in
deed, very cute one. 1t was
brought about by the fact that the
various counties were seriously
thinking they were turning too
much money over for state pur-
poses, and the only way to avoid
this was to make an increase in
the levy for county purposes, and
make a low valuation of property.
This would give exactly the same
result in money view as before,
while the valuation being less, OF
course the state proportion would
be accordingly cut down.
But the men who are handling
the states end of the concern saw
this, feared this same action, and
therefore allowed the present sys-
TEN to be brought out and into eff
feet.
AS result, every county in the
state finds that in order to raise
this state apportionment, a heavier
levy must be made all aronnd.
And so it is. The state will get
as much as usual, the counties
have levied a higher rate than
usual, and the people pay the
taxes as usual Boise Mail.

the earthly cares of this cold and
sin-stained world cannot possibly
enter and mar the pleasures of that
sinlcss home. He has passed
through the Valley of Death and
crossed that dark river and solved
the mystery that remains yelled in
obscurity, and we hope that he has
joined the realm of the blessed.
THE NATIONS CHILD.
