Banks in the west may have init
mate friends connected with the New
York bank which transacts their
business, and that fact may be the
main reason for their relations. But
simple friendship should not be put
above the welfare Of the west AS a
matter of patriotic necessity funds
should be transferred to the Mercan-
tile National. Talk on silver is good,
but the fight must be pushed in all
these little vital spots where they will
be effective Banks that continue to
strengthen the hands Of gold standard
financiers cannot be looked upon as
friends of silver in any sense. The
idea may not do the Wall street
banks much harm, but it will show
the principle.

Villas stood up in the Senate and
made most charming grafton on the
gold side Of the question. From the
gold standpoint it was a masterpiece,
us the speaker lashed himself into a
fury and in the most skillful manner
succeeded in stretching the statement
that the silver baron of the Rockies
was a pitiless tyrant and the people
Of the west subservient slaves, into n
talk Of considerable length. After
the applauds Of his colleagues have
subsidized we hope he will take an
other opportunity and point out some
advantage to be derived from the
gold standard or some evil result
peculiar to silver and gold stand
ard. Mr. Villas and his associates
have fully demonstrated the character
OF silver men and thrown them in all
lights possible. For the sake of
bringing an end to this almost endless
chin music Of eastern statesmen, we
admit all the allegations rs to our
scrub natures and now ask that they
mercifully take up some of the actual
points of the question at issue and
enlighten us.

number OF Idaho papers are making
vigorous kick, protesting against the
custom adopted of assessing property in
this state Mt about one-tourth of its real
value aud then. in order TO raise the rev
enue required. fixing the rate of taxation
Mt nearly four per cent, 1t is plain
enough that this works to our dsadvant-
age In more ways than one. business
man contemplating u location or invest
ment In Idaho, naturally enough inquiries
the rate OF taxation here and is often
frightened away when he learns that it is
~ to per cent Again. when he reads
the amount OF the assessed valuation of
any OF our counties or of the state at
large aud finds us standing in the lowest
rank, he assumes that we are poor and
the state far from prosperous We are
trying To advertise our wonderful resources
but our assessment rolls are continually
giving the lie 10 every boast of prosperity.
The reform demanded is essential To our
better financial standing. But suppose
The Board OF Equalization were TO raise
assessment value, would they be able to so
fairly? Think of the railroad and other
corporation attorneys who would haunt
thelr sessions and keep down their taxes,
while the ranch owner. stock men and
other small property holders would not he
heard from. In fact we have heard of
scandals committed with the Boards and
attorneys before now and any attempt at
reform would breed lot more of them.
That the reform is needed we must admit
but how is it to be brought about?-De-
Lamar Nugget
Now it is fact that the railroads
have bucked and snorted around and
got themselves assessed down to
So, 800 mile. That is the lowest
the state board will give them. At
three cents they have to pay Sl95 to
the mile Suppose renovation was
made, the assessment per mile put at
$40, 600 and the total levy was 81 90
on the hundred The railroad would
pay sl95 on each mile the same as
now. That is admitted. They would
pay no more taxes than at present.
We do not comprehend the ground
on which the Nugget fears increased
scandals or how it would affect the
corporations to make them unusually
vigorous in fighting against taxes.
