BIG CORPORATION TAX
(A5[5 ARGUED At BOISE

Further contention Is made along
the line that If the state board has
the authority in question to fix a
total value of railroad property in
Idaho, then the $10,500,000 of rail
road property as assessed Is not
the same as the sol 900, 900 of COM
mercial valuation, which the law
says shall be assessed at cash
value. The railroads consider that
the difference between their prop
erty at assessed value and at COM
mercial value are two separate and
distinct things.
The fundamental principles in
volved in the case are of wide
spread Importance and the interest
of the taxpayers at large Is more

The Press in Saturdays issue
called the peoples attention to the
fact that the gas company Is doing
business on probable $4,000 of
the good hard dollars of its con-
sumers, and makes no direct pay
ment of taxes on this sum, and
pays no interest on the amount to
the owners thereof.
The gas company collects these
thousands under the plea that they
are necessary to protect 1t from the
theft of it's meters and the refusal
of irresponsible parties to pay for
gas or air consumed.

financial responsibility has nothing
