MAKE PROTEST
SAY THAT THEIR LAND SHOULD
NOT BE ASSESSED HIGHER
THAN OTHER PROPERTY
CITE TIMBER LAWS.

The county commissioners this
morning received a delegation OF
timber men representing the COM
pan;es owning the timber in Nez
Perez county, who entered a pro-
test against the advance Of taxes on
timber land as indicated by the as
sessment rolls for 1908. The follow
ing are the reasons set out by the
timber men as the reasons for con-
sidering the assessment unjust:
That timber lands are assessed
at a higher valuation in proportion
to their actual value than other
property in the county is assessed
in proportion to its actual value.
THAT taxation based on such as
sessed valuations of timber lands as
are now on the 1908 assessment
rolls is an injustice and burden
not imposed on other classes OF
property in the county.
"That after equalization on the
assessed valuation of timber land
for 1907 was about $3.50 per acre.
while the assessed valuation of tim
Der lands as now appearing on the
1908 assessment roll is $3.50.
THAT the increase in the assess
ed valuation Of timber land over
that of 1907 is greater as a whole
than on other classes Of property.
Therefore your petitioners re-
spectfully pray that the assessed
valuation Of timber lands as they
now appear on tho assessment rolls
Of 1908 be reduced to a fairer val
uation as compared with other prop
erty and that date be set for hear
ing all parties herein"
The petition Is signed by the fol-
lowing: Milwaukee Land Co., c. r.
Smith. Clearwater Timber Co, Ltd,
Holland & Rupp, F. A. Krebs, Pot
latch Lumber Co.. North Fork Lum.
Der Co, Western Land Co.
: W. c. Hammer, representing the
Northwestern Lumber Co., and who
has recently acquired large hold
ings on Craig mountain, accom-
panied the delegation, but did no,
participate in the deliberations, as
the assessment on the Northwestern
| Lumber company's holdings has not
been footed.
The timber men hold the view
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1908-07-17

that timber lands should not be as
sessed higher than other property IN
the county. and many believe tho
forestry problem in the United
States would solve itself If timber
lands were not taxed until opera
tions are commenced. The laws of
Germany are cited in support of this
theory, and it is stated the German
government declines to tax timber
lands until the cutting of the tim
Der is commenced. and a stumpage
tax is collected. It is also stated
the heavy tax on timber lands COM
pels the owners to rush the milling
operations and devast the land of
small trees that would eventually
practically reforest the tract.

were full of vim, the one with Pierce
being a near fight. Freddie's work

Young Erlenborn also done some
strenuous work, skipping the rope,
punching the bag, stomach exercise
and boxing. Erlenborn three and
four rounds respectively with the
Salt Lake Kid and Terry Mustain,
The bout with the Salt Lake Kid only
needed light gloves and set of ropes
to have made it the real article. The
large crowd which witnessed this
work out was delighted with the way
Erlenborn handles his dukes. That
Erlenborn is very classy little man
is the opinion of all who have Sc IN
him in action, and that he will be
able to make Weeks do his best to be
returned victor of the coming contest
