MAIL THAT GOES AsTRAY.

During the holiday season last year
according 10 Postmaster General
Hitchcock. more than $1,000 parcels
intended for Christmas OF New Years
gifts were sent to the division OF dead
letters. of this number nearly 5000
were for delivery in foreign coun-
tries. being held as unavailable be-
cause the senders neglected 10 place
their addresses on the wrappers or
to ahx the requisite customs declar-
atoms, a. required 10y the several par
cels-pJst conventions. Nearly 10000
parcels We're mailed with insufficient
stamps affixed; the senders having
failed to disclose their addresses, the
addresses were requested To furnish
the requisite stamps, and failing to do
SO the matter was sent TO the division
of dead letters. The senders OF more
than 300 parcels could not be found,
as they were directed in such a man
ncr that their proper destination could
no. be ascertained after inquiry.
In addition to the described unmail-
able matter, over 10000 valuable ar
ticles were found looso in the Christ
mas and New Years mail of last
wear as a result OF having escaped
from their wrappers through neglect
Of improper packing Of the sendcrs.
The postmaster general urges that
the patrons Of the mails use more
care in the preparation OF parcels for
mailing during the approaching hol-
iday season and to inform themselves
as to the requirements OF the postal
service. And 50 they should, but the
odds are that they will not Negli-
gence OF details is one OF our ma
tional characteristics.

LATAH TAXES WILL. BE
$4,000 LESS IN 1912
Paying off Old Debt Cause of High
Tax Last Year Says a County
Commissioner.

The County Court House question
is all you hear and see now days 50
here is what John E. Hall, of the
board of County Commissioners is
reported as saying.
Will the floating of bonds and the
building of a new court house increase
taxes so that a man Will pay more
upon his property than he did last
year2
Assuredly not.
You can make that as strong as
you want to, and have the authority
of John E. Hall, of the board of coun-
ty commissioners for the statement.
The fact is. according to Mr.. Hall
that if the taxpayers of Latah county
were to come through" with the
same amount of taxes they paid this
year, in two years we would have
enough to build court house cost
ing more than 100000.
Said Mr.. Hall: when we were
confronted with the task of making
a levy we had some $4,000 in out
standing warrents, including interest,
the taking up of which we provided
for. Then instead of the 5-mill levy
provided by law we levied only 3 mills
on the school fund, which raised
$1o, 500 more than it did the year
previous on 5-mill levy.
THE legislature had, by a change
of law provided for the payment of
salaries quarterly, instead of month
ly, and we had to levy Is months,
salaries, instead of IL months which
made difference of So. 100 in the
amount we have to raise on current
expense. Finslly in the matter of
the redemption of the tax sale certi-
ficates of Wilkins, ct al, we had
been led to refuse redemption, which
forced a defense in court, and after
the court had held that the certifi-
! Gates must be redeemed we were
forced to another extra expense
above current expenses of between
$500 and $500.
! I'm figures stated. we were forced
to raise during the past year. more
than was needed to pay current run
ming expenses of this county as fol-
lows: Outstanding warrents and in
terest, $40, 900, school taxes $1o. 500.
salary account $o. .OoO, tax redemp-
ticns. 81. 500. total $4,000.
That is just $67. 900 that we will
never have to raise again. and. our
current expenses being the same next
year, we will be able to cut the taxes
paid this year by that sum.
In short, unless some unexpected
contingency arises. the excess taxes
forced upon the farmers this year
would. in two years. build Latah
county court house worth $134, 900.
