'fWhat makes taxes so high in Nez
Perce countyS" We cannot fgure
il all out but here is part Of the
the proof. Ia subpoenaing witnesses
and j1rymen the cost is enormous.
In foreclosing mortgages, Of which
We have many, the sheriff comes up
TO serve the papers and again TO
sell the property. The sheriff's
mileage for the two trips from Lew
Is 10 Nezperce prairie amounts 10
about $500. How many trips like
this would II take TO pay the sheriff S
salary7 We all know what a big
expense and Inconvenience this
means and il all adds 10 the expense
Of running the county which means
high rate OF taxation.
Again. we have had county CON-
missioners who probably never tax
certain parts Of their district on ac-
count OF the same being SO large.
With three commissioners in our
proposed county Il would be like !
locking after a home 10 see that the
county affairs we're properly attend /
ed 10. The name Of the Nezperce /
prairie county viii be Lolo with Nez-
perce the temporary county seat.
The lines will be approximately as
follows: Lawyers canyon and the
Clearwater river on the south. cas-,
and north. The vest boundary line
will leave The Clearwater river where
The same is in;ersecied by the Boise
runs south about six or

Ind little south II. miles thence

ween Nezperce and Idaho counties.

there viii be no opposition from that
end Of the county, the citizens there
claiming that If the people within
the proposed new counties wanted a
division Lewiston will not object
TO the same.

before It's readers. also the good Il

and We feel that 4 brief statement
setting forth the wishes OF The tax
payers Of this rich section Of "Crand
Old Nezpcrcc is due TO the Tri-
buns as we'll as 10 the public. The
article says that division pro-
posais have come up with so little
advance notification that Il is inn
practicable 10 know 10 what extent
the measures are representative Of
public sentiment. In asking for the
creation OF a new county 70 include
Nezperce prairie cnly. the main OBJ
jcci has been 10 include within the
boundaries OF that proposed county
only those voters and taxpayers who

petitions hays been circulated ia

will be presented 10 the legislature

boundaries OF this new county, rep
tescnsing 80 per cent Of the taxable

OF tue county OF Lolo embrace an
area OF 40 square miles, With ST.
SOC. 10000 taxable properly, assess
cd valuation.
We feel that the commercial in
terens Of the prairie and OF Lewis
ton are mutual that Lewiston is
destined In the future 10 become the
point for this entire sec
ton and that whatever is 10 our
interests will be reflected upon Lew

lations nov existing between the two

but as we 60 TO press !, Is reported
hat the commercial club there is

are unable 10 learn from Lewiston

against the free bridge bill, and

If politics, politically agains, Lewis

We cannot but notice the con-
rast between the able ediISri9i in

lieh taxes, inadequate buildings,

heproposed divisions are made that

be adequate for the transaction OF al
the county business within the new
boundaries Of "Old Nez Perce."
While the proposed new county
will be the smallest in the state, il
will contain less waste land and more
taxable property than some of the
other counties In the state.
Practically the entire county will
be good farming land and the In
ierests Of the citizens will be mutual
and legislation that will benefit one
will benefit all.
The county business viii be cen
iralired and the cost Of doing the
same would be nominal as compared
with larger counties. /, is a matter
OF record that Bear Lake county the
smslles, IN the state. has one OF the
the lowest rates OF taxation. while
Idaho county. the largest. pays
among the highest rates OF taxation.
Let Us compare the proposed new
county with counties in the east as
regards 10 size. Illinois contains
i02 counties. ~ OF which are small
er than our proposed county. In
diana has % counties. o. Of whie b
are smaller than our proposed I

has n which are iess in area than
he one VIC propose. In Illinois
here arc only Eve counties that are
Is large az Idaho's smallest, while
and Ohio have not county
Is large as Idaho's smallest.
As regards maintaining a county
he following arguments arc pre-
'cnted: Nez Perce county is rated
Is hrs;-class and takes the maximum
'aies in salaries for county officers.
rhich means SIS, 10000 annually,
,esides s7ooo.o0 deputy hire. The
minimum salaries in the proposed
lev county for county officers would
,e $500 90. Add to this $1,000 90
or deputy hire, then 100000 more
or good measure and We would save
'ij 10000.
The rate Of taxation would de-
reasc and the following figures
rere presented as proof. The as
essed valuation at present is ST.

The above rough estimate makes
liberal allowances for the different
funds. much more than Nez Perce
county is now getting at much
higher rate OF taxation. In the rev.
enue no mention is made of poll
taxes. saloon and other licenses. etc,
which would in all amount to $4,000
more per year.

practically been agreed upon by the

Such an arrangement, at a price
under $50 a car. is planned to bring
relief from the burden imposed a short
while ago when the South Side livery

Burials at Mount Olivet. Mount Hope

affected by the advanced scale and the
trusts exactions have proved a great
hardship to the poor.
The residents raised such a cry
against the alleged exorbitant rates
that the street railways decided to af-
ford relief.

South Chicago city railway stated last
night that it is planned to supply rub

that she could reach her home in
Pueblo while he will stay in this city
and be assured that he can retain his
job now that his wife is safely out of
the way.
He will have to send her, according
to the ruling of the court, $25 each
month for her support. however, this
amount to be paid in two weekly in
stallments. Both seem satisfied with
the verdict. Hennessey seemed sorry
for his wife and willing to give her
more then that, but he was persuaded
not to do so by his council, who told
him that the amount was all she de-
served.
