rHE TAX Levy.

FHE TAN LEVY.
Tuesday, the board of county com
missoiuers fixed the tax levy for
state aud county purposes. The raise
of four mills over the levy of last
year aud special road tax of eight
mills, with an average special school
tax of five mills, makes a total tax of
four and four tenths per cent. That
is all that an eastern man can loan
money for ON good security Farmers
and property owners, what do you
think of paying taxes at such an ex-
orbitant rate? The remedy is in your
hands. This high rate is the result
of republican rule in this county.
When the republicans took charge of
kootenai county two years ago the
tax levy was less than three per cent
and county warrants were at par
Now tue tax levy has been raised to
fonr and four tenths per cent, and
county warrants are worth but ninety
cents; there is floating warrant in
debtedness Of $40, 600, and this will
be very materially increased before
the January taxes are paid In; the
leak from the public treasury must
continue aud the source of the none
tary drain pipe is in your pockets. Ii
is the voter VINO pays these bills Of
expense. Under democratic rule
warrants were raised from eighty cents
to par in four years, a large floating
debt was paid Oft and the tax levy
reduced more than one per cent
Republican conditions prevail again
aud your only salvation is to vote the
democratic ticket, especially for
county offices, as these are the places
that more directly interest you. Ii
is the county administration which
affects the pocket book Of the indivi-
dual II the people got value for
this increase there might be some ex-
cuss for it; but the money goes to
foot the bills Of an incompetent and
extravagant board OF county commits
sioners. Are You going to vote for a
continuance of this policy II you
do, it means that you are voting
dollars out Of your pocket without
value received. Think Of t tax
levy OF four and four tenths per cent.
Add to this the extra school levy in
Occur a Alsne and the city tax OF
one per cent, and every owner of real
or personal property in the place will
pay tax Of over six per cent. Will
you vote 10 continue this class Of
robbery, or will you vnte
the democratic ticket, aud for re
turn TO lower taxes and economy
The merchant and the farmer are hit
especially hard in this matter, a.
merchandise stocks we're increased in
value twenty per cent by the state
board of equalization and values on
cattle were raised twenty five per
cent. II the republican ticket Is
elected these conditions will con
tinue, aud il the democratic ticket is
elected there IL a promise of reform,
With the past record of the party for
economy as a guarantee Of good faith.
We want the voter TO think Of these
things and consider his own interests
rather than those Of political office
seeker who talks nothing but parry
success regardless Of the peoples in
ters-ts.

The long coat for women is said to
have been introduced by Nine. de Pom
padour as the correct" riding coat at
the time when she organized the royal
hunting parties at Versailles. This in
novation, like everything decreed by
the ''grande marquise," was scrupu-
lousy followed by the ladies of the
court No sooner had she set the ex-
ample by wearing this becoming gar
ment than the entire train of both
king and queen adopted this more prac-
teal form of dress in preference to the
lowered silks and satins worn hither-
to. In this way Nine. de POmpadOur
rendered the sport easier to the ladies
who preferred riding. The coat was
carried out in a bright cOlOred cloth re-
lieved with fancy galloOn or embrOider-
les. The most effective material how
ever, was velvet in variety of beau
tiful shades. This becoming fashion
was still much in vogue during the
reign of Nine. Du Barry. In well
known portrait by Drouais she is rep
resented in the popular embroidered
velvet hunting. coat and, curiously
enough, wearing a mans powdered
wig
