Cost Of Cash Value to taxpayers.

There is nothing that has yet
been presented SO illuminative of
the fallacy of unbridIed cash
value" assessments as attempted
to be enforced by Governor Haw-
lay, nor of the immense cost to the
taxpayers of Idaho of even its par
tial application, than the figures
contained in the governors mes
sage. He gives the total amount
of money paid for state and county
taxes in each county for the years
1909, 1910, and 1911. The total
for 1910, without "cash value" was
SO, ,2S6. .557. .78 OF $l40,554.61 more
than was paid in taxes in 1909.
This increase represents legitimate
additional expenditure incident to
growth.
But in 1911; the "cash value
year, there was an increase over
1910 in the amonnt of taxes paid
of 81 ,27I,23903!
Governor Hawley attempts to
lay the blame upon the county
commissioners. But the taxpay-
ing public knows it was he who
started this tax car of Juggernaut
rolling. II it happened to go a
little faster than he expected, he
cannot shield himself from re-
sponsibility by the plea he puts
up in his message-and he only
weakens his position as an adj
vocate of high valuation when he
does it. ....
Using the governors figures, the
increase and decrease in tax pay
mentsin Ada and Canyon counties
for 1909, 1910 and 1911 casts a
food Of light on the situation:
Ada county, difference between
1909 and 1910, no cash value,
$53, 800; difference between 1910
and 1911, cash value, $223,662.
Canyon county, difference be-
tween 1909 and 1910, no cash
value. $780, increase; 1910 and
1911, cash value, Sill, ,470 increase
Ten counties show decrease in
payment as between 1909 and l9l(
and none shows a decrease as be
tween 1910, "no cash value
year, and 1911, cash value" year
excepting Fremont, and it shows
less ofa decrease than in 1910
The amount of money paid fol
taxes is what counts. The above
figures represent absolute cash
They plead eloquently against the
governors plan, with the assur
ance of extravaganza and waste
that is always inseparable from
high valuation basis. Boise

The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1912-01-19

The new time card on the Boise
Valley seems to be giving good
satisfaction, and the town is given
better service than at any previous
time in its history. A farmer can
come to Meridian to trade at al
most any hour of the day, and get
back at convenient season before
night.

To Merge Meridian Banks.

Recently the annual meeting of
stockholders os the Bank af Mer-
idian was held and about the same
time the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Meridian Ex-
change Bank took place. At both
of these meetings the question of
merging the two institutions was
discussed and practically agreed
upon. 1t was also decided that in
the reorganization, application
would be made to the government
to charge to a national bank.
This would add an element of
strength not heretofore held by a
Meridian institution, and would
be preferred by both depositor and
stockholder.
j. w. Harrell, cashier of the
Bank of Meridian, stated to the
Times yesterday that plans were
under way leading to a merger,
and that a portion at least of the
directors of his bank would have
an interest in the new institution.
He said that personally he would
retire from active management.
E. G. Pfaffie, cashier of the
Meridian Exchange Bank, stated
that preliminary steps had been
taken for an application for a
national bank, to take over the
affairs of the two local banks, and
that with the showing as to re-
sources there was not much doubt
of favorable consideration by
the government officials.
One of the prominent citizens
of Meridian, in an interview
with the Times. stated that the
move had been in contemplation
for some time, and that the plan
as agreed upon should result in
benefit to all concerned, including
the patrons of both banks. He
said that there was not room for
two banks in the town and that in
one particular, at least, it would
tend to strengthen the resources of
the one institution. There is
some paper held by the two
banks againstthe same individuals
and naturally competing insti-
tutions would be taken advantage
of by some persons who would
borrow from each, and failing to
inform the one bank that there
was an obligation at the other.
He also said that a national
bank would get some business that
state bank could not get, and
that while there had never been
the least doubt in the minds OF
the people but that the Meridian
banks were perfectly safe, there il
an idea prevalent that national
bank has safeguards that the Other
does not enjoy.
The same person stated that
while there was nothing decided
upon, there was a possibility that
the officers of the new nationa
bank if organized would consist
of j. J. Jones, president; H, B
Carpenter, vice-president; E. G
Pfafae, cashier; and Thai Stevens
and Arthur Frazier, assistants
with directorate made up from
the two banks. The Meridian
Exchange Bank quarters vii
likely be the home Of the new in
stitution, and the capital stool
be $4,000.
