have up to the present returned any
profit, owing to their incomplete de-
velopment. So.that when valuations
such as the assessor has placed on
lands, compels the farmer not only
to pay taxes on dead capital, but on
what he owes. 1t is not his proper
ty, but his debts upon which he is
compelled to pay. Mortgages es-
cape taxation. Bank deposits and
credits escape taxation, but the beau
tiful cash value plan as worked out
by Hawley catches the men who are
doing great work in developing the
state not only for the dead capital
invested, the labor which has been
expended in unrenumerative devel-
opment, but upon what they owe as
well. Beautiful system and great
head that worked it out.
Land valuations on this tract
have increased eight and two thirds
fold. Will stocks of merchandise be
increased in like ratio? Will rail-
roads be assessed at from $l30,O00 to
$i50,000? If not, the burdens of in
creased taxation, will fall upon the
farmers, a great part of whom are en-
gagged In developing their places and
deserve to be encouraged and assist
ed rather than burdened. Governor
may see his way clear to
avoid unjustly taxing the people
whom he professed to love so much
only short time since, but only one
avenue seems to be open. And that
is the dangerous experiment of con-
stituting every board of county COM
supreme court and
Legislative body in order that they
may annul such laws as do not har-
nonize with this beautiful cash val
nation scheme and make others that
DO. This is beautiful scheme, and
places the people at the mercy of the
whims of the board of commissioners
of the respective counties, but IL laws
IRE to be ignored others must be put
IN force TO take their place."

port that the system continues to
grow in popularity; during April.

S3l,5 per deposit. In January,
the first month of operation, the
average of $3.50 separate deposits,
aggregating SOL, 1905, was only $1e,

It will be possible for depositors
to convert their deposits into United

are prepared in denominations of
$40, 500 and $500, and Mr.. Hitch

issued to every depositor who app
plies on the proper form before
June 18th. These bonds will be
issued only to depositors, but they
may be sold and assigned at any
time by the holders. They are ex-

MUCH WATER SCRIP
is OUTSTANDING

The council met last night in ad-
journed session with all councilmen
present except Douglas.
j. N. Downing was granted per
mission to tap the water main with
two I inch taps for the purpose of
installing fire hydrants in the hotel
Burgoyne.
The auditing committee submit
ed its report on the water works,
showing that since the installation
of the water system, scrip to the
amount of $9453. 90 has been issued.
OF this amount $3597 has been re-
deemed, leaving $5sSs 20 in scrip
outstanding and unredeemed on May
3, 1911. The report was accepted
and the committee stated that it
would require several days to COM
plete its work. In an oral state
ment to the council, M. f. Whit
man of the auditing committee,
said that he was satitfied that there
had been considerable scrip redeem.
ed which the committee had not
been able to locate.
Permits were granted to T. G.
Jensen and J. G. Nielsen to erect
residences; D. J. Sutton to erect a
barn and to ]. G. Nielsen to con-
struct cellar at the rear of the
Royal Bakery.
Considerable time was spent in
discussing the city's Indebtedness
and in endeavoring to devise ways
and means by which to pay the ont
standing warrants on the water
works fund. City Attorney Cough
insisted that the quickest and best
way to settle the matter was by a
friendly suit in court to determine
the legality of the warrants. 1t
was finally decided to defer action
on the question until the final report
of the auditing committee is SUBJ
mitted.

HOW CASH VALUE PLAN
IS WORKING IN BINGHAM
Assessor in That County is Going the Limit on
Farm Lands Some Farms are Assessed for
More Than Owners Ask for Them.

The way some of the farmers in
Bingham county are ''cate hing IT.
under the cash value plan of assess.
ing Is thus related by the American
Falls Press:
One man who purchased tract
of Carey land last summer for $S5
an acre, has been assessed this year
at 500 an acre. Another man who
has 80 acres, 60 of which is in sage
brush, has been assessed at $62.50
per acre. Another instance Is re-
lated of man who has 100 acres,
all plowed, fenced and with build
ings not to exceed the value of
$500, being assessed at $40, 400.
Last year the same farm was asses
sed at $1,000. The Press also tells
of lady who has been assessed
&2, 900 on her 40.acre tract, which
has but very little improvements.
These instances of unjust assess
ments, leads the Press to thus COM
ment, editorially, upon the reform
which was inaugurated by Governor
Hawley, after the legislature ad-
journed and after it was too late to
change our. revenue laws to conform
with the governors policy:
"The assessor Of Bingham county
has taken of the brakes. Sagebrush
land, wholly unimproved, which has
a water right costing $25, but which
is not paid for is assessed at $50
per acre. Land that Is cleared and
plowed, with inexpensive improve
ments, in the way of buildings, is
at $65 per acre. All of
these lands are under the Carey act,
purchased on the the ten year pay

has been made upon but comparative

gallon of liquor as it would be to
send for a suit of clothes or any other
article of merchandise.
1t has been SO thoroughly demon
strated that local option or even
state wide prohibition not only does
not prohibit the consumption of
liquor, but scarcely reduces the
amount consumed, that it seems to
us the only sensible method to pur-
sue is to permit Its sale under the
strictest regulations possible. We
are not alone in this view of the
question, for thousands of the
brightest minds in the nation-men
in all walks of life believe that so
long as the U. S. government sane
tions the manufacture of liquor, the
only tsafe and sane" method to
pursue is to restrict its sale under
high license and strict regulations.
The laxity of the liquor laws
throughout the nation has been
argely instrumental in creating the
sentiment against saloons. But to
jump from lax liquor laws to abso-
lutte prohibition is not the remedy
for this evil.
Personally we would like to see
the manufacture of liquor prohibited
by the government, or only so much
manufactured as is necessary for use
in the arts or for medical purposes.
But that, we fear, will never be done.
And as long as it is not done we
shall continue to advocate the sale
of it by license regulations.
With those who are sincere In the
opposite belief, we have no quarrel,
and we hold not the slightest ill will
against any man who is earnest and
and sincere in his opposition to the
liquor traffic. Bat the traffic can
never be stopped nor will the ques-
tion ever be settled so long as people
and hundreds of them in every
community-will vote against the
we'll regulated saloon and then con.
tinually keep and consume liquor IN
their homes.

is considered good price in view of
