THE MERITS OF THE CASE.

THE MERITS OF THE CASE.
The Globe, like all other hui
manly conducted institutions, is
subject to mistakes; it has never
arrogated to itself Instability
but it has always stood ready to
discuss any topic of public inter-
est on its merits, without inten-
tional misrepresentation of facts,
and without trying to manufac-
ture ammunition for the purpose
of simply beating the other fell
low.
The local democratic organ
last week, in what has all the APP
pearance of being a borrowed
editorial, charges the Globe with
continuing to play politics = be-
cause it takes issue with Govern
or Hawley S leash value" taxa
ton system which he is trying to
enforce without preparatory leg
islation, and would have its read
ers think that it is unfair and
decidedly discourteous for the
Globe to so express itself in view
"of the fact that majority of
the people of Idaho preferred
Hawley to Brady and settled the
issue last November. "
The Globe has never minated
that Mr.. Hawley was not elected
governor of Idaho last fall, but
it has never given up the idea
that it still had the right to call
in question his official actions
when they vitality involve the in
terests of the entire citizenship OF
the state, working upon that idea
of privilege and right the Globe
has had a number of criticisms
to offer upon the tax policy of
the governor, as the matter APP
peared to it. But it would not
knowingly do Gov. Hawley an
injustice, nor in the least misrep-
resent him or the effect of his
tax policy upon the public we'll
being. AS the Globe views it,
actual facts are bad enough, mis-
representation or distortion are
needless to make case.
No doubt recognizing this fact,
but thinking that an opportunity
had presented itself to make
someone believe otherwise, the
contemporary across the way last
week took figures which the
Globe had quoted from the Gen
esee News regarding the increase
of taxation this year over last in
Latah county, and the Lewiston
Tribune, which placed the in
crease of Nez Perez county this
year over last at 100000, and
the increase in percentage in Ida
no county and argued to the con-
clnsion that the Globe was manu-
featuring figures against Cover
nor Hawley simply because he
was democrat and last fall beat
James Fl. Brady for the office of
governor. That is absolute bosh,
and was known to be when the
statement was made.
The article from the Genesee
News which furnished the figures
quoted is given in full as follows
County assessor, E. j. Gem
mill has made full returns of his
assessments of Latah county to
the commissioners, and the total
this year is about $4,000, 900, or
10 times the assessment of last
year. when the total valuation in
Latah county was nearly $ll, OO0,-
900. Assessor Gemmill has made
consistent efforts to assess all
property in the county equitably
and as nearly as possible to the
cash value plan of Gov. Haw-
ley's as was consistent with
conditions within this county
Genesee News.
The Lewiston Tribune 8 state
ment that Nez Perez county's in
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1911-08-10

creased assessment this year over
last was 100000, therefore that |
values must have been placed |
last year at near cash value"
justified the conclusion that the
Tribunes figures applied to the
present Nez Perez county. This
was the conclusion reached by
the Sand Point Review, and the
Globe reprinted an editorial from
that paper which so stated, the
said editorial appearing in the
same issue and Immediately above
the Globes article. Regarding
the increase in Idaho county, the
percentage was only given APP
proximately, and it was so stat
ed. So much by way of explana-
ton as to where the figures used
came from.
The counties of Nez Perez and
Latah were used because the state
ments from the papers published
in those counties were at hand at
the time and they were northern
counties. But the point which
these figures were used to estab-
lish remains just as distinct and
prominent as ever, and cannot be
clouded by technical quibbling
over figures from two or three
counties, for the official reports
which are now rolling into Boise
show much more startling discrep
encies between county levies than
the figures quoted showed, or
has ever been claimed or dream
ed of by the most strenuous OPP
posers of Mr.. Hawley's present
tax policy. Accepting the local
contemporaries own figures for
the counties of Latah, Nez Perez
and Idaho as correct, and then
taking Governor Hawley's own
statement of the assessor s work
in Canyon county as true, with
the reports from Shoshone, Bon
ner, Bannock, Cassia, Lemhi and
others added, and conditions are
disclosed which should cause
even Gov. Hawley's defenders to
awaken to the fact that they are
citizens of the state of Idaho as
well as members of the govern
or's political party.
The governor in an open letter
to the Canyon county assessor
states that he (Hawley) of his
own personal knowledge knows
that Canyon county has been pay
ing taxes ON "only from 10 to
20 per cent of the actual value"
of the property in that county,
and that the increase in valua-
ton this year is only 25 per cent.
Taking 20 per cent, which the
governor says he knows to be the
highest assessment in the past,
and add the 25 per cent increase
this year, and the assessment in
Canyon county this year will be
25 per cent of the cash value of
property in that county, or one
fourth of the amount the govern
or has demanded.
The following figures show the
comparative discrepancies in in
crease of percentage of assess
ment as nearly as can be given
in the eight counties named.
