The Problem of Taxes

Editor of the Index:
The best system of taxation is
he cne that gives each county full
control of its own assessment and
valuation
The greatest difficulty with our
present system is not in he law,
but in its application to different
counties differently situated as
regards taxable property and a.
mount of running expenses. For
example, if Ada county has double
the value of Canyon county, their
running expenses being the same
and the number of mills to be
levied, regulated by statute as is
now the case in some instances,you
can readily see that Ada couny
would raise more money than she
needed or Canyon county would
not raise a su iicient amount.
Hence any attempt to force them
TO place the same valuation on
their property is bound to work
an injustice on one or the other.
My plan for doing away with
the difficulty above referred to is.
20 entirely do away with direct
taxation fer state purposes, leaving
the matter entirely to the county.

IMPROVEMENTS ON CANAL
Open Cut Being Made to Replace
''Sliding Flume."

Forty teams ard so or more
men are at work on the Canyon
canal, making Improvements OF
a permanent character and putting
the ditch in SHAPE for next sea
son.
Among the important improve
ments now being made are two open
cuts to replace llumes which have
oeen a continual source of trouble
and expense. One OF them is
near Black Canyon at Sliding
Point" where the ditch is being
carried into the hills 25O feet
north of its old location. The
cut is 80 feet deep and is in
earth that is solid. The Connaugh-
ton flume has also given a great
deal of trouble and its replacement
by a cut will save the directors a
great deal of worry and the dis
trict a considerable eXperse for
maintenance. This work is two
thirds completed.
Two cribs to protect the south
side of the dam are being built.
They are 20 feet square and illed
with rock. One of these is built
and nearly filled.
The retaining wall on the north
side of the dam at the intake of
the canal is completed 1t is so
feet long, Z feet wide at base
and feet at top and is construct
ed of cement. This work replaced
built of timbers and was
nearly carried away by high water
last spring.
In employing labor for this work
the district is giving preference
to farmers who own land under the

The positive statement of the

activity o. surveyors in Malheur
