MOVEMENT Is ON

duct the anti-Taft campaign. With
him are associated political writers who
prepare documents for distribution.
The question that is interesting all Re-
publicans is whether this movement will
be followed by an equally determined ef-
| fort to defeat Mr.. Taft at the polls,
should he be renominated. This question
was put directly to Mr.. Houser yester-
| day.
What will be the attitude Of your bu-
reau II President Taft is renominated?"
he was asked
That question I cannot answer" was
his reply.
But Mr. Houser vouchsafed informa-
ton which, il view of the character
of the anti-Taft campaign, is interesting.
| He said that the opponents of the ad-
ministration would not. in Pennsylvania,
where much literature has been sent,
take advantage of the organization of
the Keystone party, which represents the
independent Republican movement in
that State. This party more nearly ap-
proaChes the principles of the progress
sive movement than any organization in
the East, but II has not been asked to
! join forces with La Toilette. The effort
| in Pennsylvania. as in New York and
other States is to array the Republicans
! in opposition to their party as repre-
sented by the present administration.
) 1t is only necessary to summarize the
! predictions which are made as TO the
success of the effort to defeat Mr.. Taft
! the statement, for instance, that anti
J administration delegates will be obtained
| in Pennsylvania and New York. that the
| Western States will be solid against him.
and that the work which is being done
| supplemented by the personal efforts of
! the twelve or thirteen insurgent Sena-
| tors, will result in the President securing
only minority OF the delegates. 1t Is
more interesting to know that the pres
| ent work is to be continued until the
nominating convention meets eight or
nine months hence and that during the
intervening time millions of voters will
| be reached. Headquarters are to be
established throughout the country, in
addition to the one now maintained in
Chicago, and the expense Of the under
taking will be enormous
A Remarkable CampaIEn
Such, in brief, is the story Of a cam
paign which for size and energy is almost
unparalleled. The men who are directing
1t are silent as to its meaning beyond
the fact that Taft must be defeated.
They will not confess that they hope
to overthrow the President next year
in the hope that La Toilette will be the
candidate in 1916 They will not saw
whether they are paving the way for
! Roosevelts return to the White House
All that they will admit is that thev
! intend, II possible, to keep President
Taft from securing a second term They
evidently propose to accomplish this even
though the Republican party goes down
with them.

The report from Nez Perce county,
the second county in the state to
report to the state board of equaliza-
ton under Governor Hawley's new
plan, was received by the board to-
day. No little significance attaches
to the fact that without railroads,
the total assessment of the county
this year is S12.023.s3s notwith-
standing that the last legislature
made three counties out Of the old
one, and that the assessment Of the
county last year before its division
into the three counties was sll ,0so,-
.2to. Then its land was assessed at
SO. SO per acre while this year it is
assessed at $2l.Sl per acre. The
total land value a year ago was So
127, 43l, but this year notwithstand-
ing the division into three counties,
the total land value is placed at So

county was put in the new counties2
If the Globe viii look this matter
up now Il viii find that the total as
sessment of the two counties that
we're cut off from old Nez Perez
county last winter it will find that
their assessed valuation is about
$14, 900, 900 exclusive of the rail-
roads and telegraph and telephone
lines and that what was left of old
Nez Perez county is assessed at
more than the entire county was
last year thus increasing the assess
ed valuation more than 100 per cent
or about the same as Idaho county.
Now the Globe may have just
made mistake automatically but to
many it would seem that that mis-
take can hardly be made exceusable
on any ground as it is a matter the
truth of which could easily be as
certained. If the mistake was made
Intentional then any paper that
would make such glazing statements
certainly cannot hope to maintain
the confidence OF its readers very
long for they will Sud out the facts
Of the matter themselves.

THE INCREASED VALUATION.

THE INCREASED VALUATION.
The Grargeville Globe in last
weeks issue, after going on with a
lot of cheap political "buncombe"
about Governor Hawley, then pro-
ceeds to make such glaring false and
misleading statements as these;
Idaho county raised its valuation
approximately 100 per cent. Latah
county increased its valuation so
per cent. Nez Perez county, &C
cording to the published statements
of the papers at Lewiston, has made
an increase over last years total
taxof $500, 900, such a small ad-
vance on the total wealth that it is
difficult to get at the per cent. In
commenting on the insignificant in
crease in valuation in that country,
the Tribune says ''taxes must have
been placed last year at near cash
value in this county
Now, allowing that the governor
puts forth his very best efforts as
chief executive and member of the
state board Of equalization, does
any one honestly believe that those
differences can be righted and bet
ter than heretofore2If so, vhy2 Il is
the same old law, without change.
The only difference is that Mr..
Hawley is governor instead of some
of the others; and it can hardly be
denied that there have been some
fairly honest, energetic and con-
scienscious men occupying the Of
fee of governor in this state in the
past. But does it not look like
there was something radically wrong
when Nez Perez has increased its
valuation only 100000 as against
81, 525 1880 for Idaho county7
Now let US see what the facts of
matter are in this and how the Globe
is attempting to mislesd the people.
The Moscow Star-Mirror Of July 81
1911 has the following to say about
the assessed valuation of that coun-
ty.
"The assessment rolls of the tax
able property Of Latah county have
been completed, and the totals for
the various items secured. A copy
Of the totals of the rolls was sent in
to the state auditor this week. The /
assessment list for this year show a
a total of SIS, oil for the
county as compared to 5000, 900
for the year 1910. This is an increase
of about 100 per cent over last
year"
The Globe makes the statement
that Latah county increased its val
uation so per cent when according to
the paper published in Latah county
the taxes there have'been raised $50
per cent. Which is right and what
are such statements made for7
Then what about Nez Perez coun-
ty1 Has the Globe been asleep the
past year or has it forgotten or is It
willfully attempting to mislead and
predjudice the people against Gov
ernor Hawley for political purposes2
Does the Globe remember that old
Nez Perez county was divided up in
to three counties last winter by the
legislature and that about half Of
