ASSESSORS AT BOISE.
They Seem to Favor Assessing
Property at Cash Value.

The assessors of the state met at
Boise, Idaho, Jan. 20 10 annual
convention, with all but two
answering roll call. These two were
hose from Cassia and Bear Lake
counties. Assessor Smith of Sho-
shone county was chosen chairman
and Shepherd Of Ada, secretary.
Menu bers of the state board of equali-
zation were present at the afternoon
session and there was some interest
ing discussion of taxation problems,
during which the troublesome ques-
lion OF railway valuation for purposes
Of taxation came up for an airing.
The subject was opened up by Me-
MILAN OF Twin Falls. He called at
tention to the fact that the law
makes IL obligatory upon assessors to
assess all property at its full cash
value, but in reality most of it is
assessed at only from one-third to
une-half its valuation. He said he
assessed in Twin Falls county at 80
per cent, aud the state board cut 1t
down onl- third. Governor Gooding
said he favored increasing all ASSESS
ments. irrespective of class, Is per
cent, and he favored higher assess
ment Of railways. Auditor Bragaw
doubted the wisdom of rapidly In-
creasing railway valuations.
On Tuesday the governor said he
had been misquoted, that he stood
for assessnent at full cash valuation.
After much difference of opinion it
then appeared that the assessors and
The state board would finally agree To
get assessments up to the cash valua-
tion, Instead OF from one-t third TO
one half

THINKS TAFT THE MAN.
Chairman Brady Sizes Up the
Political Situation.

j. II. Brady, chairman OF the Re-
publican state committee returns
last week from Washington, ID. O.,
and the Capital News publishes his
views on national political affairs as
follows:
In national politics Mr.. Brady, who
has just returned from three weeks
stay ia Washington, returns with the
belief that Secretary Taft will walk
off with the nomination for president.
"When Taft returned from his
trip around the world" said Chair
man Brady, she was in bad shape
politically and Governor Hughes was
the coming man. Had Taft been
just few DAYS later, it would have
been TOO late, but with his arrival at
home and with the unqualified 10.
dorsement aud support of Roosevelt,
he has been gaining until now there
Is apparently little doubt OF his
nomination"
Mr.. Brady said that it is clearly
Taft against the field but the field
would not be able to unite, but that
as soon as delegates found there was
no chance for their "favorite" sons
they would more likely 20 to Taft
than to any Others of the "favorite
sons" class.
"Hughes will have most of New
York, with part of it for Taft" said
the chairman. KnGx will have ILL
nois, Fairbanks will get Indiana,
Cannon is safe for Illinois, LaFollette
secure in Wisconsin, and Cummins
may get Iowa. Foraker won't get
much of Ohio, If any, but that state
will be nearly solid for Taft and he
will have the entire south"
Mr.. Brady believes that Knox of
Pennsylvania is more likely to be
second choice after Taft than any
other candidate mentioned. Knox is
the first choice Of the buSl ness inter
ests Of the country and would be sat
isfactory to the most conservative of
the supporters Of Roosevelt.
The difficulty with Hughes, he
stated, is that he has never expressed
himself on national issues and refuses
to commit himself to committees sent
to him for the purpose of gaining his
views. This has almost eliminated
him from consideration, in the view
of the Idaho chairman, who comes
back to the state after numberless
interviews with the president and
other politicians who make and un.
make affairs political in the Republi
can ranks.

A COMMERCIAL Club
Organization For RathdTum
is Perfected.
WORK IT IS TO Do
Advance Commercial, Social and
Industrial Welfare.

An enthusiastic ana largely at
tended meeting of Rathdrum citi.
zens was held in the auditorium oil
the Fraternal hall last Friday
evening, Jan. II, and resulted in
the organization of what the city
has long been more or less in need
"a Rathdrum Commercial club.
A constitution and bylaws we're
adopted and under its provisions
the following officers were elected:
President, Stewart Young.
Vice-President, Martin Poleson.
Secretary, A. w. Post.
Treasurer, w. E. Reinhart.
The club is to meet on the eve
ming of the fourth Thursday OF
each month. The membership
fee is ST. 90, and the dues IS cents
a month, payable to the treasurer.
A long list of business men and
other citizens have already signed
the constitution and become mem
bers of the club.
At a previous meeting Of the
citizens the matter of organizing a
commercial club was discussed
and committee consisting of c.
l.. Heitman. A. w. Post and Stew
art Young was appointed by the
chairman, w. A. Hart, to draft a
constitution and bylaws and to
report at a later meeting. The
adoption of this report was the
principal work done Friday even
ing. The report and the consritu-
tion and bylaws, which set forth
the aims and purposes of the or
ganization, are herewith published
in full:
Your committee to which the pre-
paration Of constitution and BY
laws for the Rathdrum Commercial
Club was entrusted, beg leave to
report:
The act Of organizing a CONNER
cial club, the committee finds, meets
with the hearty approval of the peo-
pie of the village. While it may be
regretted that such an organization
has been thus long delayed, the need
for some such body ought not fur
ther to be disregarded. The bust
ness men desire some authoritative
agency to consider the many pro-
posals which are constantly made by
outside world, affecting the invest
ment of money in and near the vii
lage and the entire community feel
the want of such factor in handling
home affairs. The Commercial club,
we think, will fill the bill. 1t GER
tainly will be force for good, if per-
sonal pickering and purely selfish
concerns are entirely eliminated from
its deliberations and actions.
A special reason, it is submitted,
for this organization being brought
into being at this time, is the fac,
that an effort is about to be made to
, remove the county seat to another
part of the county. To illustrate
this effort, not for self interests, bul
for the welfare of the whole people
of the county, is the duty Of Rath
drum. Acting as commercial anc
governmental body the commercial
club should make hard and fail
fight in that direction. This club i.
in position to ascertain the facts, the
motives and the consequences o
such removal at the present time
and if this village is to continue it.
leadership in the fight for clean, wise
economical and honest county ad
ministration, it must acquaint the
people of the county with those con
ditions. Here again the office of Z
commercial club becomes indispen
sable.

COUNTY SEAT.

This being the county seat of
Kootenai County, it behooves the
club to maintain it as such till such
time as the welfare of Kootenai
county demands its removal. Be-
lieving that time is not at hand, and
that its removal would entail infinite
expense and most unnecessary
burden upon the people of Kootenai
county, the members of this club
pledge themselves to use all honest
and fair means to oppose and de-
feat the removal of the county seat.
1t shall be one of the purposes of
this club to make public the reasons
why it would be impolitic to change
the location Of the county seat at this
time.
w.
That it is the object of the club to
establish the most cordial relations
between Rathdrum and other towns,
villages, and cities of kootenai coun-
ty and by such means as may be
deemed proper and effective secure
their cooperation in the execution OF
all the objects of the club.
V.
The officers of the club shall be,
president, vice-president, secretary,

The officers of the club shall hold
office for period of one year from
