IDAHO TAXES.
Railroad Men Talk TO the State
Board OF Equalization.

The state board OF equalization IL
making things decidedly warm for the
railroads In Idaho. and incidentally the
railway tax agents are telling the mem.
bers OF the board some home truths.
At the meeting yesterday j. b,
Evans, representing the Oregon Short
Line. made an extended address. Dur
ing his remarks he made II clear that
already Idaho Ind taxed the Oregon
Short Line far In advance Of what that
corporation was paying In taxes per
mile III other states. He submitted Il
abatement showing the average taxa
tion per mile Of his road In this and
other states Idaho With S24S.76 per mile
being the highest and Wyoming with
Sl0SB7 per mile being the lowest. He
said his company was paying its full
share of taxes IN this state much more
than IN other states where railroad
business was great deal heavier, The
Oregon Short Line. he said, claimed a
large share of the credit for making
Idaho what she Is today. He pointed
out that much Of the present prosperity
of Idaho was due to the Short Line,
which had brought many eastern peo-
pie into the state TO assist In building
Il up. This immigration was the result
Of extensive advertising, which had
cost many thousands Of dollars. and OF
low rates.
A. II Watts Of the O. r. & N. In an
argument said such action as was con-
templated by the state board Of equalI-
zatlon would have the effect Of making
eastern capital shy and dslncined to
invest money In a state where taxes
were liable 10 be raised every few years.
John L. Shepn for the Great North
ern went after the assessment Of Koo-
tenai county which, he said, was emf
nently unjust. Mr.. Snapp went after
the ''reformers' with but scant cere-
mony and accused some of them Of es-
Gaping the assessor and then wanting
the railroads 10 pay for all the taxes.
G. $. Fornald spoke for the Northern
Pacific He was very emphatic In the
statement that the radical action con-
templated would probably operate to
stop important railroad building in Ida
no.
II is said that Gov Hunt and Secy. OF
state Bassett favor the present rate of
assessment. Treasurer Pumer is in
clined to coincide with the views Of the
county commissioners. Atty. Gen. Mar
tin fayors conservative increase, and
Auditor Jones thinks $4,000 would DO
about right.
