so that the box may easily slip In and

of the Illinois senator and confirmed
his right to his seat, in column edi-

The editorial headed what 1t

Mr.. Lorimer's margin of safety

but though Mr.. Lorimer remains
in the senate, the issue he represents
is not adjudicated.
con the contrary, the refusal of a

Genuine sardines are the young Of

the fact that they are most numerous
OF the coast of Sardinia. They swim
in the spring In shoals containing mil
lions-fish shaped shoals ten miles long
and half mile wide. The sardines are
netted and taken at once to the shore.
There they are washed, scraped and
sprinkled with salt. The salt is soon
removed. the heads and gills cut OF
and there is another washing. Then.
on beds Of green brush, the fish are
dried in the sun. Next they are boiled
in olive oil till cooked thoroughly. The

BASIS Of MILL LEV|ES
Not on Proposed Cash Valu-
atoms.
LEVY ON PRESENT VALUES
Taxes For Educatic nal Institu-
tions Will Not Be High.

House bills Nos. l98, 355, 35s and
39l. providing for mill tax appropri-
ations for the University Of Idaho,
the normal school at Lewiston, the
academy at Pocatello and the normal
school at Albion, have the saving
clause that the mill tax is to be levied
on "the present assessed valuation OF
the state" says the Statesman.
1t was feared by many that this
mill tax would be levied on the as.
sessed value OF the property as re-
turned for each year. Ii this were
true 1t would make this mill tax a
mOnstrosity.
1t Is conservatively estimated that
under the "cash value" order, II the
order Is carried out with any degree
OF fairness, that the value Of the
taxable property in the state will be
boosted to 5000. 900, 600 at least.
On such basis, and under the mill
tax levies for the four state schools,
the University of Idaho would get
$3.50, 900 each year; the normal school
at Lewiston would get $36O,00O a
year; the academy at Pocatello would
get $3.50, 900 year. and the normal
school at Albion would get $500, 900.
But as the mill tax Is to be levied
on the present assessed valuation OF
the property in the state, 1927, 1885,.
O75 must be taken as the basis.
On this basis the University OF Ida
ho is entitled to $l9O,747 for the two
years-l9lll2; the normal school at
Lewiston Is entitled to $l52,50s for
the two years; the academy at Poca-
tello Is entitled to $l53,698, and the
normal school at Albion is entitled tc
$127,156.
The mill tax rates for the foul
schools are Z Of a mill each year fol
the university, three.tlfths for the
academy at Pocatello. three. flfths fol
the normal at Lewiston, and one hall
for the normal at Albion. The
amounts appropriated by the recent
legislature fall somewhat below the
amount that would be raised by tht
mill tax levy.
