DR.. David Soskice. writing to the Rus
sian famine relief committee, gives eX-
tracts from the Russian press showing
depiorable condition Of affairs in Russia.
According to these extracts, in the
province of Saratov many peasants pos
sess. literally. not rag of clothing IN
which 10 leave their huts. In the village
of Feodorovka the schoolmaster says the
children have become las transparent as
wax., and answer questions at their les
sons by piteous supplications for food.
In the village of Marinsk. of the prov
ince of Tehosk. little girl perpetually
begged her mother for food. The unhap-
py mother. who herself had tasted moth

deranged at the sight of her child's tor

gan gnawing at it like a savage beast.

raised. Fremont county, for in
stance, in 1911, raised only $10'-
$50 on patented land, when she
had to pay the state $23,953 on
her patented lands. Likewise Gus
ter county raised $2,954, state taxes,
when she had to pay the state
only $2,11O on patented lands. In
the statement the figures given in
the state tax columns are what the
state levy raised on the actual val
uatioD OF lands after equalization
and show exactly the per centage
Of increase caused by the change in
valuations. To find the state AK
for 1910, multiply the acreage by
the equalized value. Then multiply
by I'LL mills. the amount Of
the state levy. For 1911, multiply
the creag by the equalized value
per acre Then multiply the valu-
alton by 80 mills. the state levy
for 1911.
A few counties show decreases,
but they IRE easily explained.
Fremont, for instance. levied . state
tax Of % cents per 500.
when the levy should have been
80 cents, making her state tax
$4,000 less than the state required
on a valuation of SCI 1924 ,017.
The county I'm 1910 raised $1,000
for interest an pests, and in
1911 nothing; in 1910 the county
raised $4,000 for bridges, and
in 1910 only $4,000. Then 1O3'-
500 acres of land was added to the
tax roll In 1911. This was mostly
non-irrigated land and cut down
the average price per acre. On
TOP OF THIS FREMONT COUNTY
RAISED TOO LITTLE MONEY IN
1911. Her county and state levies
we're both too low. In 1919 her
citizens paid in county and state
taxes $91 sly on $50 ,431 acres Of
land. In 1911 they paid only
S6:3 1874, a reduction Of $96,e42. In
1919 THEY WILL PAY ON THE
SAME ACREAGE, $115,114, AN
INCREASE OVER 1911 OF THE
NEAT SUM OF $51 gao OR s0.1s
PER CENT. The increase of 1912
acres is &23,597, or 25.07 Per cent.
THE APPARENT GREAT SAVING
IN 1911 WAS THEREFORE A DE-
LUSION AND A SNARE.
Bingham, Bear Lake and sew
era1 other counties made state lev
les lever than that fixed by the
state board, which reduces taxes
ON patented land for 1911 very
materially below what they by every
right should have been.

EXPLANATORY: The average
eQualized value of land in Ada
county in 1910 was $24.44 per acre.
The county Inc state tax levy was
S2.20 per 500. $24.44 multiplied
by 1920 gives SO CENTS AS THE
AVERAGE TAX PER ACRE IN
1910. The number OF acres OF pat
ented land in the county, shown by
the report Of the state board OF
equalization to DO 1874 900 acres
multiplied by Sc cents per acre,
gives S60.445.O4 AS THE TOTAL
TAX PAID ON PATENTED LAND
IN THAT COUNTY FOR THE VEAL
1910. The average equalized value
OF land in that county In 1911 was
ep2.40 Per acre and the tax levy
/ go per hundred. $92.49 multi
piled by $3.50 gives $1.4S AS THE
AVERAGE TAX PER ACRE. TAX
ting the same number of acres, In
order to get an absolute comparison,
and multiplying by $1.4S gives

Is THE INCREASE IN THE
AMOUNT OF TAXES PAID IN ADA
COUNTY IN 1911 OVER WHAT

the Increase shown in 1911, $114,-
OsS.28, by tho total paid in 1s1o'

be 1874 per cent The tax on acres

OF ',rres Nv the 1911 tax per acre.
Subsiract ,i,e 1910 state tax from
the 1911 state tax, and diviae
the renasiaded by the 1910 state
tax, and This gives the per cent OF
increase in state tax for 1911 over
1910. Applying the same method
to other counties, any citizen can
demonstrate the correctness of the
above figures. Amy citizen can fur
ther prove their correctness by
Multiplying the assessed value Of
his property for either year by the
levy for that year, add his special
school and other special taxes and
his poll tax, and compare them with
his tax receipt. They may show
