Why Taxes are High.


From Free Press, August 40, 1881
The high rate of taxation
in this county causes much os-
t~entatious distress of mind to
certain demagogs who pose as
friends of the dear people in
the hope of being elected to
county office next year. We
beg to assure these deeply at
ficted gentlemen that the
cause of the high tax levy in
Idaho county is not far to seek.
The whole matter can be
stated in a very few lines.
The total assessed valuation
of all property in Idaho county
in 1893 and 1897 was as fol
lows:
1909, $1,3o8, 79e
I8o7,............ 0o5,o2t
Decrease. .$4o2 49,
Here is an absolute decrease
of over 80 per cent. of the to
tai taxable property in tou
years, and a consequent rails
in the tax levy in order t
live up to the cash basis sys
tenn required by the const l
ton and the laws of the st
Who is to blame?
The answer is plain. Th
people themselver are to blam
in undervalueing their prof.
erty for taxable purposes.
The depreciation is SO lare
nearly half-a.million dollar
that it cannot be charged I
the merchants or stock-grov
ers, Or any particular class
the community. The unde
valuation of property has bee
general throughout the count
and is the more startling. VIII
we reflect upon the amount
new taxable property in t
way of patented lands al
mining improvements viii
has been added to the asses
ment roll since 1893.
BY every law of nature al
common sense and gener
advancement, Idaho coun
ought to show an assessme
roll of $2,ooo,ooo. If II
were the case the tax lie
would drop more than OF
half. Even a fanatic den
cog ought to see that a t
per cent. tax levy on two n
ion will bring precisely
much revenue as a four |

THE wheat manipulators in Chi
cago now say that wheat will prob
ably go to 50 bushel. Will the
Republican party claim that this
deal is caused by its administration
ofaffairs? fit does it will pro-
claim itself as abetting one of the
greatest swindles of the age. A
combine of men is said to own about
100000 bushels Of wheat, and is
trying to force the price up out of
all reasonable figures. Think OF the
proposition of two or three men
owning 100000 bushels of wheat
and million of workingmen cry
ing for bread. Does it strike you
as being all right? And the price
of wages is still being reduced while
the price of food is going up. If
this is the kind Of prosperity the
Republican party is proud of God
save us from becoming prosperous.

1T SEEMS they have poll tax
law in New York State similar to
that enacted by the last Nevada
legislature. The New York World
of recent date says: "Justice Chester
of the Supreme Court has decided
that the law providing for the pay
ment of poll tax as qualification
for the exercise of the right to vote
is unconstitutional. David B. Hill
was the attorney for these who con-
tested the law. Senator Hill urged
that it was contrary to the constitu-
ton to prevent, in any way, quail
fed voter from exercising the right
of franchise. Justice Chester de-
cided that the payment of poll tax
imposed an additional provision to
those of the constitution upon the
voters right of franchise, and that
any such condition was unconstitu-
tional.
