new TAX RULING IS
PROBLEMATICAL
Opinions Differ as to Result
of Cash Valuation"
Assessment.

Governor Hawley's peremptory or
der to county assessors to assess al
property at its actual cash value is
the subject for discussion on the
street corners, in offices and busine!
houses and out on the farms. Opln
ions differ as to whether the new
deal will raise or lower the taxes
But practically al are agreed that
there will be mighty uproar when
the tax notices are distributed next
fall.
From present appearances, the
speculators in farm lands and town
lots will be hit hard. The land
itself is to bear the brunt of the
burden of taxation, the improve
ments counting for little. For in
stance, raw land on the bench, fairly
we'll located is being assessed uni
formly at 500 per acre. The same
grade of land with young orchard
upon it is assessed at the same
rate. The orchard is not figured
as an improvement subject to tax
alton until it reaches the bearing
stage.
In town, residence lots range from
$25 to $3.50, and business lots from
$500 to $1,000. In regard to improve
ments, Assessor Martin is follow
ing the same plan in town as adopt
ed for farm improvements. Some
of the best rental properties on
Main street which are worth from
$4,000 to 100000, are rated as low
as $4,000. Acreage property close tc
town, worth anywhere from $500
to $1,000 per acre, is assessed as
low as 5000, while farm land severa
miles out worth from $50 to 500
is rated at 500 per acre. Resi-
dence lots on Main street, close in,
are assessed at $25, while those on
First are assessed as high as $175
and on Second $125. We would
hate to be a member of the board
of county commissioners when it
meets as an equalization board.

Undoubtedly the stand taken by
Governor Hawley for a strictly cash
valuation will result in injustice
and hardship to many. If, how
ever, it results in a reform of the
present iniquitous, unequal, unjust
AK system and the adoption of a
system that will be in line with mod
ern ideas, then the seemingly dras-
tic order of Governor Hawley will
not have been in vain.

READY FOR IRRIGATION
SEASON
Water Will Be Turned Into
Canyon Canal
April /.

| Water will be turned into the
Canyon canal Saturday morning,
April 1. That is the promise OF
Superintendent Gibberd, and he is
not given to joking even if it is
April Fools Day. This will be good
news to the farmers ON the bench
and slope, as March has been
an usually dry month, and moist
ure will soon be needed. To the
many acres of fruit trees that are
being planted this spring it will be
a blessing.
Several days will elapse after the
headgates at the dam are lifted be-
fore the water is available for irri-
CATION purposes, but Mr.. Gibberd ex-
poets to have full supply for the
bench by April and enough for The
8 ramwell extension not later than
the 7th.
Considerable repair work has beer
done on the canal since last fall.
At the damsite riprapping has been
lone to protect the banks and the
south half of the surface of the
dam has been re, imbered. A log
boom 400 feet long has been con-
structed. The ma tAo:d roofing tn
which the fumes were lined last
year have been repaired wherever
worn. The south side canal has
been cleaned out from one end to
the other, which Secretary Harry
Workman says was almost as big
job as building a new ditch, as
sand had been washed into it un-
til nearly bank full To take care of
this sand and the water that comes
down the hillsides during the rainy
season, 80 "undershots'' have been
constructed There is still some re-
pair work to be done-about five
days work at the siphon and few
days at Haw creek, Bissell creek anc
Sand Hollow-and Mr. GibbeId and
his crews are working from day.
light until dark in order to get
through on schedule time.
The Canyon canal system and its
affairs seem to be in very compe-
tent hands, and the water users are
to be congratulated that it is so.

With fruit buds swelling a month
later than usual, and every tree loac
ed to the guards, fruit conditions
in the Emmett country were never
better. That is the report from
every fruit grower in this end of the
valley
j. |. Hit, whose fine orchard lies
southeast of town on the slope, says
he has never seen fruit buds so
thick on peach trees and the trees
so healthy and so full of vitality
as they are this year. His two
year-old trees are as ambitious as
the older ones and if he were to
permit them to bear they would pro-
duce heavily.

Bankers are very much alarmed
over this order and are endeayor-

Governor Hawley has the bankers
of the state jumping sideways, too
He insists that bank deposits must
be assessed at the full amount, and
bank stock must be assessed to- the
individual owner instead of to the
banks, as heretofore. His in
structions to the assessors reads as
follows:
practically no money has been
assessed in the state for many
years, although a large amount of
it is on deposit in the banks of the
state and is subject to taxation.
Thorough inquiry of the taxpayer
and of the banks will enable you
to assess this class of property equal
ly with others. Tolerate no eva
sion on the part of anyone in the
matter Exercise your power under
the law to the fullest extent and
