EQUAL TAXATION IN THE STATE
Limitations of the Board Of Equal
zation Explained Comparison
Of Taxes In Other States

Of Taxes in Other States
In view of the criticisms that have
been made against the state board
of equalization for not having
placed higher valuation upon the
railroad lines of the state, and in
view of the discussion that is now
going on regarding tax lev1es and
valuations, the following article
from Chas. E. Elmer, secretary to
Governor Gooding, will be of inter-
est The statements made can all
be verified and show that these crit
iclsms against the state board have
been made either through ignorance
or malice:
AN attempt is being made to create
the impression among the people that
the state board of equalization In Idaho
has as one of its duties the fixing of
values for all property in the state. In
point of fact the constitution and statute
give it no such power The duties of
the board are to equalize the values
liked by the county assessors, both as to
classes and counties, and to fix such
values on railroads and telegraph and
telephone lines as will equalize with the
value set on other classes of property by
the different county assessors As an
illustration, if through general under
standing among the assessors all classes
OF property assessed are placed a one
third of their actual value for tax pur-
poses it would clearly be the duty of
the state board of equalization to assess
railroads and other common carriers in
the same proportion
eThe duties of the state board of
equalization are defined in the statute.
These duties include the equalization of
tax values by class and by county. The
power of the board insofar as this is
concerned is limited, as the aggregate
OF the assessed value of property in all
the counties of the state cannot be raised
oy the state board of equalization more
than fifteen per cent. This is to saw.
that II the various county assessors re-
turn the value of all the property in the
state for tax purposes at $50, 600, 900, the
state board of equalization must not in
crease these values an amount greater
than s57, 5000 So it is easily seen
that the power of the board in fixing or
changing values for tax purposes is ex-
tremely limited.
THE trainers of the law defining the
duties of this board evidently intended
that the board should act almost entire
iy in declamatory and clerical capac-
lty. 1t is only in connection with the
values TO be placed on railroad. tele
graph and telephone lines for tax pur.
poses that the board is given any initial
power. OF course the law contemplates
that the board shall fix such values on
these properties as will equalize with
the assessed values of other classes of
property II the state. In performing
this duty, however. the state board for
the first time fixes value upon an in
dividual piece of property. With the
common carrier the board considers
each road or each line independently.

An Ostrich Race.

In selecting ostriches for menager-

are chosen; not because it will be nee

ness.
One of these agents visited pen Of

Clock that Runs Forever.

A radium clock, which will keep
time indefinitely, has been constructed
by an English inventor. The clock
consists of a small tube, in which is
placed a minute quantity Of radium
supported in an exhausted glass vessel
by a quartz rod. To the lower end
of this tube, which is colored violet
by the action of the radium, an cleo
troscope, formed of two long leaves
or strips of silver, is attached. "A
charge of electricity is transmitted
through the activity of the radium
into the leaves and the latter thereby
expand until they touch the sides of
he vessel, connected to earth by wires,
vhich instantly conduct the electric
.harge, and the leaves fall together.
This simple operation is repeated in
cessantly every two minutes until the
radium is exhausted, which in this in
stance, it is computed, will occupy 3d..
600 years"

A Witty Bishop.

A certain witty American bishop
found himself few months ago cross
ing the Bay Of Fundy, from Digby to
St. John, in company with a certain
Mr.. Caswell. The Bay of Fundy has
q reputation for turbulence only to be
matched by the English Channel or the
Bay of Biscay. Mr.. Caswell was
struggling with violent attack OF
seasickness; but the bishop, who was
above such weakness, was very cheer
full and inclined to conversation. He
had failed, however, to catch Mr.. Cas-
wells name correctly and persisted in
calling him "Mr. Aswell." At last the
sufferer, in moment of ease, correct
ed him, saying
"'Caswell,' my lord; my name is
'Caswell,' not 'Aswell.'
"Oh," said the bishop, eyeing him
critically, as a new spasm seized his
unhappy acquaintance. "Well, Mr..
Caswell, don't you think you would be

SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST
ERIN CANADA
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands

Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers of
Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
As a result the inquiries made of the
agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
panies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points to
a most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number, 1t
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
letter written by Mr.. Geo. w. Girls
void, Of Red Deer, Alta, formerly
of Greber, Mont, written on the I'd
Of January, is as follows:

from a beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two postoffices.
The fine stock, both cattle (cows and
steers), horses, hogs and sheep are roll,
ing fat, grazing in pastures to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had a chi,
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get a foothold in the Canadian
West as it was some years ago in the
i, United States. We are free from wind
Jumbo and alkali here and have fine
lear, soft well and spring water al

feet and lots Of open overdowine

For Six Months He Could Not Turn in
Bed-He Tells of q Remedy Which
Hae Given Perfect Relief.
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: "I was attacked by
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. I dldn' know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away in a
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When
finally succeeded i'll getting home, it was
lust as much as I could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
1.-THE doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to trv to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for couldn't get out of
bed if I wanted to. It was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became SO ex-
cruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
az suffered this torture for sixmonths
without getting any relief. Then I dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice Of
friend I bought box Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at dose, three times day. Twas de-
termined to give them thorough trial.
1.-TWO months after ! began to use
them was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
used, and heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles P. Marston, Hampton P. O.,
New Hampshire. DR.. Williams Pink

disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par
