INTO between the various assessors of
the state to assess property throug-
out the state at so per cent Of its val
ue. This conspiracy, 1t is said. was
entered into at a meeting of the as
sors at Boise city in the spring in or
der to enable them to raise a sumo
lent revenue to meet the expenses of
the county administrations and that
OF the state. In former years the as
sessment has been made on a basis
OF about 10 per cent and the law re-
quires that property shall be assessed
an basis Of its full cash value.
Unjust Discrimination.
The fourth and the last point
which will be relied upon to invali-
date the assessment is the unjust dis
elimination made by the deputy in
making the assessments. II is con-
tended that in the business section of
the town the smaller concerns are
paying almost as heavy a tax as the
large business concerns, and that In
this respect the assessment works a
hardship. In the residence section.
1t is contended the same diserimina-
ton exists, and the owner OF a mod
est cottage was made to pay equally
as heavy a tax as the owner OF one
Of the handsomest and most costly
residences in the city.
Those are in brief the points that
will be raised, and which will be re-
lied upon to invalidate the assess
ment, and those interested in the
suit are confident of victory, and in
tend. in the event of an adverse de-
eision being rendered against them,
In the district court, to take the case
to the supreme court. Among the
other plaintiffs In the case is the Ida
no Mercantile company, the Sherman
Land & Improvement company, and
e. G. WEIGH, all OF them heavily in
terested in property In the city, and
in the event that the action Is sue
cessfuL and the tax declared illegal
1t will mean that taxes involving
thousands Of dollars will be stricken
from the tax roll as being uneollecti-

INJUNCTION TO
STOP TAXES
Suit Will Set Forth Many Grounds
for Illegality of Assessment

A suit in whichh IS prominent and
heavy taxpayers are plaintiffs. and
which will have for its object the is.
suahce by the district court of an in
junction restraining the county as
SCISSOR from collecting the tax levied
for city and county purposes in the
city and also to restrain him from de-
claring the taxes delinquent upon
their failure to be paid, will be
Med in the district court this after
noon or Monday morning.
The taxpayers who are now made
plaintiffs in this action have for some
time had such proceeding under
contemplation, and met few nights
ago at Sanders hall for its consider
alton. At this meeting the situation
was thoroughly considered In all its
phases, and 1t was decided to employ
an attorney, and be guided by his de-
cisfon as to the advisibllity OF insti-
tuting proceedings looking to the pre-
vention Of the collection of a tax
which by them is deemed unjust and
excessive. The interested taxpayers
decided to secure the services of Ed
win McBee, and since that time he
has been engaged in looking up the
law applicable to the subject, and a
decision was arrived at to commence
the action at once.
Assessment Illegal.
The taxpayers will claim in their
complaint that the assessment is IL
legal on four grounds. The first rea-
son assigned is that there is no alpha
betical arrangement of the tax roll.
The land, it seems, has been assessed
by tracts instead of by the name of
the owners, when the law provides
that the assessment shall be by the
name of the owner of the property,
and that these names shall be alpah-
betically arranged. The law is said
to be perfectly plain and is absolute
on this pont, and it is said that there
had been total failure by the asses
sors' Office to observe it.
Smith Not Legally Appointed.
The second point raised goes to the
legality of the appointment of r. B.
Smith. Smith was the man who made
the assessment of all the property in
the city, and it is now claimed that
he was never legally appointed by
Assessor Bailor. The law, it is said,
provides that the deputy assessors
appointment must be evidenced by
writing, and it is claimed that in this
respect it was not complied with in
the appointment of Smith, and that
therefore the entire assessment made
by him is illegal, and the tax can not
be collected.
Conspiracy Alleged.
The third ground which will be
alleged for declaring the assessment
illegal and the tax uncolleetible is
that there was conspiracy entered |

"SPEEDE GOT OUT
HOW DID HE DO IT"
First Prisoner in City Jail Breaks
Through Cell Door and Escapes

'Speede got out; how did he do
it." That was the farewell note that
e. j. speede left for Chief of Police
McGovern this afternoon when he
had effeated his escape from behind
the iron bars If the new city jail.
Speede succeeded in making his es-
cape by breaking the paddock on the
door of the cage and after doing so
pinned on the door upon which he
had written the above to the officer.
As soon as it was learned that he
had made his esca e a search was
instituted for him by the officers, but
up until late hour this afternoon
they had not succeeded in securing
any trace Of him.
Wanted for Forgery.
Speede was arrested this morning
by Chief OF Police McGoyern on the
charge Of forgery, and in writing
checks and signing other peoples
names to them he was all that his
name implied. The first forged check
was for the sum Of $50. and was
passed. on ]. F. Goldsmith. who pre-
ferred a complaint against him I'm

matter seems, however, TO have been
satisfactorily settled. and the action
was dismissed against him. In the
meantime Chief of police McGovern

ton as to the prisoner and also
searched him. and found on his per-
son four checks with the name OF

signed to them, and ready for use
All of them were made out in favor
OF the prisoner, and ranged from
$685. to $50. II was upon the dis
eovery OF this eyiden~e that the
chief decided 10 hold the man, and
prefer additional complaints against
him, as he was satisfied that Speede
was a clever crook. Speede. when
first arrested. had been placed In the
old city jail. but the chief found him
trying to cut his way out and was
satisfied that II left there he would
make his escape. and had him
transferred TO the new city tail for
safe keeping. He was 10 have APP

THE FIGHT IN THE DALLAS
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

The unwritten law does not apply
to third terms in congress. On the
contrary, people have an idea that
the longer they can keep good
man in office, the better he is quail
fed to render them efficient service.
Hence, the Hon. Jack Beall is a can
didate to represent the Dallas dis
trict the third term in congress. 1t
is conceded that he has made the
people Of the district faithful, eff
cient member of that body, and 1t
will be a hard matter to dislodge
him. He is a popular man with the
people. There is nothing uppish or
airy about him. He is as plain as an
old shoe and as honest as an old

his habits, wastes no time at poker;
he, is devoted to his shome ties. and

the further fact that he is highly es-

fine ability, and the Hon. Jack Beall
