V. 1. 8. Affairs.

The V. /. s. will hold spring
rummage sale the last of April or
first of May, no date having been
determined to the present time. All
housekeepers are earnestly requested
to hold for this sale all clothing and
useful articles, that for any reason
they cannot longer use, but will be
of service to others who may need
them and are willing to pay a small
amount for them. Mrs. Gagon, pres
ident of the V. l. S., will appoint
rummage sale committee. The
plan Is for persons who have articles
to contribute to phone the chairman
OF this committee, as soon as they
conclude they have an article they
wish to donate, the chairman will
have some one call for the articles
In day or so. They will be taken
to place of safety awaiting the
time of sale. 1t is thought this plan
will relieve the housekeepers of
packing away many things they
would prefer to have taken out of
the way at once. Kindly keep the
rummage sale in mind The commit
tee will be appointed shortly.

AN OPEN LETTER
70 Frank w. Jordan and the Bing-
ham County Commissioners.
Gray, Idaho, March 20.

Gray, Idaho, March 20
Mr.. Editor:
On March 10th we sent Mr.. Franl
w. Jordan the following letter, ask
ing for information, and as yet have
received no reply, hence will try tt
reach him through your valuable
paper.
What is the tax levy on property
both personal and real in Bingham
county?
Why do the instructions to your
deputy read take no per cent OF
livestock, but get them ALL" while
formerly the instructions have been
''get SO per cent and try to get 60
per cent?"
Have our laws in regard to taxa
tion been changed in the last twelve
months?
What valuation is placed on Snake
river agricultural land?
Why are sheep taxed $3.50 per
head, all they are worth at the pres
ent,- cattle $11.00, about one-half
their value, and work horses $500,
ony one-third cash value?
Our improvements are to be taxed
one-third their value or cost. Does
that ruling give us the right to
choose and list them at cost, when
they cost more than they are worth,
and vice versa?
Last year we we're taxed at least
SO per cent more than in former
years, while listing only so or 60
per cent Of our taxable property.
Now, If, we are compelled to list our
entire holdings, and pay the same old
rate, we feel justified in demanding
information on this subject before
submitting to taxation.
According to the instructions sent
to your deputy, our land will be
valued at $500 and $400 per acre.
It is impossible to realize more than
one dollar per acre on the land that |
Is cut over for hay in this section,
and the grazing land is almost worth
less as we can Craze our stock on
public land. If the farm lands in
Bingham county are taxed according
to the value per acre, and at the
same ratio that our land in Grays
precinct is, the funds derived from
the taxable real estate In Bingham
county would almost support the
state. IR
Why are hogs taxed at all in this
precinct, when they are used for the
homes and are never sold?
If the system Of taxation presented
to us is universal, we would like to
be convinced Of 1t, and we want to
know what we are paying and wheth-
er we are paying the same in proper
tion to our holdings as others.
If 1t requires s275 on every 500
Of taxable property in Bingham coun-
ty to keep the county in running Or
der, we will pay our share, and make
no "bones" about it. But on the ,
other hand, If 1t does not require so
much, we want to know Just how ;
much It does, and then we will bow
our backs and try to bear the burden. S
